Styphelus Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 how do you go about mass grabbing all those nes boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Yeah could you put them in an archive and stick them up on MEGA or something like that? I'd rather not right-click each one or use some shady mass downloader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 +1 to that idea. It would be very appreciated if you could upload all the stuff from your website in LaunchBox friendly packages here in the forum download section, GoogleDrive, MEGA, Zippyshare, or whatever you want. This would be much more user friendly and could save you a lot of a bandwidth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubz Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 How about a torrent? http://www.gamingalexandria.com/torrents/NES Images Launchbox Torrent.torrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubz Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Fixed the torrent in case anyone grabbed it previously. It should be working now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Are you actively seeding the torrent? Because it's dead on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm getting about 400kb on it and increasing so it is working here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just now, DOS76 said: I'm getting about 400kb on it and increasing so it is working here yeah i think he just started seeding it, it's going now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Alright, so how do we divide this thing up? I don't want a bunch of unnecessary duplicate uploads happening. How about we each claim a part that we feel comfortable being the ones uploading? I can do clear logos if you want (I've been doing them for SNES in my free time anyway.)

hubz Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Sorry this is taking so long, unfortunately at the moment my internet connection is not great. So it will be slow until somebody completes the whole torrent unfortunately. EDIT Whoops nevermind... looks like it finally woke up and is uploading to a couple people rapidly.

shadowfire36 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 its up so no worries about seeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Alright, I guess I'm doing it all, since no one else chimed in... Well, the clear logos are done, so don't bother with them. And I'm not gonna bother doing banners, sorry. I hate banners. If someone else wants to, that's the only way it's getting done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubz Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thanks for your hard work Fisty! I appreciate it. I am working on Gameboy now but this will take MUCH longer... there's not much good source art out there for it. A lot of Cover Project's stuff is completely wrong and I'm having to try to catch it as I go. There are scans of sealed games elsewhere which I'll probably just have to use which is good because they're not marked on but bad because the plastic shows up along the edges of the boxes. Better than nothing I guess. Yeah I'm not doing banners on Gameboy, with NES it was easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyzumi Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Thank you so much for that torrent! How is that MobyGames API thing going btw? wouldn't that fix most of the issues with lack of covers or low quality ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to dl now, but just crickets and tumbleweed... If someone can give me the latest torrent and get it seeded initially, I'd be happy to throw it on my Seedbox and let it run forever. I have an impressive connection and bandwidth is a non issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That paints a totally different picture and makes me appreciate how good LaunchBox is against other front ends. Of course, if I can provide what I have dug up as replacements I have no problem doing it. I'll have to look that up. Yeah, it is just us normal folk uploading stuff to the Database. A couple of weeks ago, myself and another user (diamondgeezer) whom I didn't know at the time (until I posted this thread were working on the ZX Spectrum section. I started going through the games starting from the beginning, trying to source covers and other bits, and diamondgeezer then used some online tools to convert what I was uploading into 3D images. This was on a Saturday night when I should be out chasing crumpet / skirt / poonani. I tried to get the best images I could find, but with these older systems sometime beggars can't be choosers. You are probably already aware of this with MS-DOS media. I have no art skills whatsoever so I don't know how to sharpen images or anything like that. Anyway, I didn't wish this to be a back slapping post. Just a small example of what effort goes into the LaunchBox Database and what type of folk work on it. Just us users. It's a team effort.
