1st, is collecting cool videos for games like the Angry Video Game Nerd reviews on YouTube, or any cool commercials and stuff.  

I got the angry video game nerd videos as a DVD rip, but it's not legal to distribute Not sure how different it would be to just ripp them off youtube tho

[ressurectionx]

Probably not any more illegal than having any of the roms, I would imagine...

I think I found a way of automating the process to the point where I can do a hundred or so a day and maybe even more if I can get the script I'm working on a little better.

All I need to figure out now is how to do batch file conversions in open office to grab a folder and run a macro on every file in the folder and I think I can do every game faq out there.

I have all of the A's done in SNES other then renaming the files to match the Xtras.

I have all the files downloaded up to K but its taking a while. I'll upload a big pack once I have all of the SNES faq's done.

If anyone has a tool to automate the downloading of faq's it would be a great help.

also strange on the megaupload  the link is working fine for me, let me know if you want to use another filehoster I can upload it to any of the other ones (other then rapidshare, I hate rapidshare.)

I missed this. Wow man.  Sounds like you're going to really kick ass on this.  

I haven't tried the link again.  It's been pretty busy around here.  Hopefully I can take a look at it sometime tomorrow.

Thanks,

Thanks again man... this is great!

You're really flying on this.

I'm going to check it out sometime today hopefully.  The link is working now so I'm downloading it as we speak.

Thanks,
~Rx


EDIT:  I checked them out now man.  Excellent work.  Like anything else (artwork,vids,synopsis) I'm sure it could use some tweaking here and there if somebody wanted to really dig in, but considering how many hundreds you're doing on the fly this is some top shelf stuff.

Some of the problem is that we still don't have a legitimate "fixed-width" text feature yet.  I'm sure things will look even better if that dream ever becomes a reality.

So.... is SNES the only system you care about, or do you like some of the other major ones?  I'd love to see this get to other systems someday.

Well if you don't have time for the other systems then just clue us in on your little secret for getting them.  

Anywho... If someone could send a fixed proportion font (.ttf) file my way then maybe I can do something.  In the meantime I'm gonna look in the code, there might be one spot where some internal font is used..

[ressurectionx]

Mono Spatial:  http://www.dafont.co...no-spatial.font

That's my pick, but there are some other TTFs there that are labeled fixed width for you to try out madmab.

[ressurectionx]

Look what you've started there ninjagaidenfreak  

I've been trying to get a fixed width font in there for about 6 months now.  

Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's ready.  (if it works... keeping fingers crossed)

[ninjagaidenfreak]

Though I would post an update here I think I found an easy way to download all the faqs. It took a website downloaded and a bunch of odd settings but its in the process of scraping the site and hopefully when I get back from work it will have them all downloaded.

[ressurectionx]

Hey ninjagaidenfreak,

How's this coming along man.  It's been a while  

[Pulsemasta]

Res,
        Are you still collecting side project stuff? like reviews, videos, magazine scans, exc?? If so, which systems and what type of content in particular? Because I have a lot of stuff that might fall into this category.

[ressurectionx]

Don't need any reviews or synopsis anymore for the systems I'm personally doing.  Maybe waal and Carnage by Bob could use help with that with the Intellivision and Amiga.

I would love to have complete FAQs for these systems, but I haven't heard from ninjagaidenfreak yet this year with his NES stuff and nobody else has volunteered to tackle another system.

I don't think I'll be collecting too many strategy guides or anything like that either.  It was planned in the beginning, but this project has just taken too many hours of my life.  If I can get them in before the 15th of March, they're good, otherwise I'm going to scrap them.

[Pulsemasta]

SO, what systems arent started that you were thinking of doing?

[ressurectionx]

What... with manuals/magazines?

Not sure.  Probably only NES, SNES and Genesis.  I'm not actually looking to collect anything more at this point for those types of things, but I'm looking to clean up all of my to-do folders and get something put together from there.

Nothing's "not started" though.  There's been a little work here and there all over the place.  Kinda hard to talk about since I haven't looked into it for about 1 1/2 years now and you're not sitting here looking at what I'm looking at.

I just meant are there any other systems you were thinking of doing, now or later that havent been started?

[ressurectionx]

Oh... no there aren't.  The only ones at this point I haven't started are computer based emus or non-XPORT emus.  The only console based XPORT emu that will not be completed is the PSX.
