hitm4n Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Vectrex 2D Front Cover Box Art - By Simon Quincey - View File Vectrex 2D Front Cover Box Art - By Simon Quincey - hitt.man@ntlworld.com So i added all my Vectrex roms (113 at the time) to Launchbox, i let it do its "thing" and the artwork it downloaded was horrendous. Different sizes, wildly different qualities, some real, some custom and a whole load missing. Like 70% missing! Every rom needs an image, they should all be the same size and style too. I know, i'll make my own set using anything i can find online. 113 roms, how long can it take? If theres no artwork online i'll just use a screenshot from emulation. Every search for more images, lead me to more websites, more information and more roms. I joined a very cool Facebook group on 28th April, to learn more and find more artwork and there were plenty of helpful people there. There were also more roms... From the "Vectrex Fans Unite" Facebook group i would like to thank everyone for the encouragement and support. And particular thanks to these guys who provided much needed original artwork to complete this cover set. Graham Toal Chris Malcolm Jacek Selanski David Flemming Tony Holcomb Alan McClelland Manu Parssinen Steven Salter John Blythe If you helped me out and i missed your name here, sorry, but i do thank you. Also, from the Launchbox thread i started and did my daily progress updates to, i would like to thank... Lukeyboy67 Starbuck Dragon57 ...for the ongoing support. I started at 113 roms but ended up with 260! Seemed never ending but i've finally done it. So here in this pack are 260 unified images, all following the same design template, same resolution (1024x800) and (as much as possible) the same quality level. I have done the best i can with the online artwork i could find. I've used original box scans where possible, i've used other peoples custom box artwork at times, i've upscaled some, cleaned others, totally dumped and rebuilt others. I've used various emulators to capture screenshots and built totally new logos for some. Its been a lot of work and after about 6-7 weeks or so, i'm done... for now... Although this set of images was selfishly only going to be for myself to begin with, after sharing what i was doing it seemed there were others who were interested in using these. I was asked if i would share them, so thats what i'm doing. Of course, they are free to use, i don't own any of this. This set should now be uploaded to the Launchbox website/forum as a pack/zip and to my own GoogleDrive too. My GoogleDrive will also hold these as individual files and i'll have an area for new and updated files. The link to my GoogleDrive will be shared to both the Launchbox forum and Facebook group. Updates to this pack, error fixes, new covers, cover requests etc. may only be uploaded to my GoogleDrive. So if you have read all this waffle and you are using these images, please check there for new files. I will take requests for covers, if i've missed a rom and you still have artwork gaps after adding this set, just ask. I will fix any errors you spot too. All i ask is you request by email (top and bottom of this text), and if its for a rom i don't have, you send me that rom. I will update covers too if you have improved artwork, you just need to send me it. Comments, roms, requests, fixes, artwork etc. to... hitt.man@ntlworld.com Have fun.
