Mr. RetroLust Posted December 3, 2018 Author Posted December 3, 2018 There is a lot of work to be done (what have I begun lol), many corrections needed, covers missing or wrong covers etc. I can't leave errors alone when I see it (terrible OCD) Here is an example of one special game that doesn't have any promo material online so I put something together for Galaxy Game (1971) to work with. I guess I'll be organizing this arcade 3d box project the same way as the arcade cabinets project and release it in letter packs so the wait of results isn't months/year from now. Hope you like this ode to a very special and beautiful cabinet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Game 2 Quote
Mr. RetroLust Posted December 13, 2018 Author Posted December 13, 2018 @Jason Carr A thing I noticed having used scraping through the full mame set importer (to get all media to create these boxes) are that a lot of games have been moved with their media to different platforms like Naomi, Model 2 etc. these games don't get scraped unless they have a copy of them still within the arcade section (which isn't always the case I think as I'm missing some media) but only the media within this arcade entry gets scraped, an example would be this Beach Spikers entry, the logo wasn't downloaded but the flyer was so I noticed something was going on, is there a way for the importer to still download these from other arcade platforms as well or a future fix in the works?

Mr. RetroLust Posted December 14, 2018 Author Posted December 14, 2018 Meanwhile I added the clear logo to the entry of above example in the database, to keep in mind after reading the above issue. 1 Quote

I don't currently have a solution for this. I think, generally, it's mostly a non-issue for MAME games, but it becomes more of an issue when dealing with other arcade emulators. For now I guess I would recommend putting non-MAME arcade games for Sega Model 2, etc. in as separate platforms; that way you can best use the metadata from the database. I'll add this to my list to improve though. 1 Quote

I was thinking of a solution (could be a stupid thought though as i'm a bit blurry atm) but an option in the download media option to scrape media from a secondary platform as in "scrape as" or something, although this could mess up ones media collection when not used properly and the fact the games are linked to a database ID. Meanwhile I'll try to upload missink logos and flyers I collected and cut out in the process. 1 Quote
Mr. RetroLust Posted December 15, 2018 Author Posted December 15, 2018 Working to finish the "0ABCDE" pack, definitely not complete yet and I see I still have to correct a few grey levels and saturation within these but consider it as a preview of what the end result will look like, hope to release the pack next week or around christmas. It also includes logo's and artwork previously unavailable, alternative, rare and custom artwork. 0ABCDE_-_Preview.zip 1 Quote

The Manufacturer logos add a nice touch to the already nice glass finish. I will look forward to adding them to my collection when they are finished 1 Quote

Mr. RetroLust Posted December 16, 2018 Author Posted December 16, 2018 Thanks guys! I've been off in calculating how long something is going to take me before but I hope I have it right this time; next week or around christmas for the 0ABCDE pack, I have to gather, process and place around 80 different company logos on the set and then check if any games in this range have missing boxes & clear logos still, plus a final check up on the colors and contrast. 1 Quote
Mr. RetroLust Posted January 4, 2019 Author Posted January 4, 2019 Update: Pack "FGHIJK" coming this Sunday if all goes well, including a lot of classics, here's a preview of some games and it's variants, in case you like/need the Japanese, official art or fan art version Including customized and cropped flyers (the last halloween poster put to good use!) and artwork. Ghost's 'n Goblins different versions: Ghouls 'n Ghosts different versions: And a special example, I found this flyer to be boring in mono color so I colored it using reference material of the cabinets, couldn't find the high res cabinet artwork so I just had to do this labor of love. Back to my childhood days, loved every minute of coloring this lol, took some time but I like the result: End result box: And loads more stuff, too much to show here, stay tuned for Sunday 3 3 Quote
Robin55 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I have already added the first set to my setup, I need the rest!!! 1 Quote
Kondorito Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Lust, you are awesome. Period If you are creating/modifying the flyers/ads, you could release the 2D covers as well afterwards. Edited January 4, 2019 by Kondorito 1 Quote

Thanks bro I am collecting all the new and/or modified cover artwork to upload at a later point, it's a whole lot of stuff to add manually once done though I might need some help with this, I am uploading the Missink logo's though and some of the artwork in case where there wasn't any. 1 Quote
