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.

You mean PSX is never getting done, or just not by the deadline?

[ressurectionx]

It's never getting done by me, personally.  

I do happen to have images for every US game, which have been renamed perfectly to XBOX specs, but we're talking re-unzipping and transferring 100's of GB to the box for testing when I already know more than half of them don't work as designed on the XBOX.  I do have a sizeable collection of boxart and videos that I will try to put together.  It just won't have all the screenshots, and I won't be doing a synopsis for the PSX either.  At least not for games I won't have on my own box, anyways.

You should put together what you have and let others build upon it if they have interest.

I personally think a best of type PSx would be cool... only put games on there that got an average rating of lets say ... 7/10? or something like that... that would make it possible and then you could leave it up to everyone else to fill in the blanks...

I would help with this if you start it... I am a fan of PSx

[ressurectionx]

Yep.... That's in the cards.  

PSX probably wont' be ready by March 15th, but if that and a few arcade things are all I have left on my plate then I'll be happy.

[Pulsemasta]

send me a PM of stuff that needs to be done for PSX and I will try to get something done. I may not be able to do a lot, but I can help here and there I'm sure.

[ressurectionx]

The only thing I can really think of for PSX would be if you started making the synopsis for it.  I'm really behind on that one otherwise and I'm not really sure where I'm at on it.

Do you have a template for synopsis?

also, do you have the preferred list of games which would go into Xtras?

[ressurectionx]

Sure... there are a ton of them in the "Hot Potato" thread in the XPORT forum.  None of them are completely up-to-date at this point, but the NES one should give you a real good idea of what they're supposed to look like.

I don't have a list of games to include now.  I'd say any RPG out there, X-COM, Intelligent Qube, the Mortal Kombats.

[Pulsemasta]

alright, I will look into it

Hey guys.
I really like the scope of this project and I'd like to help out if possible.
If you still need the AVGN videos I too have the DVDs, but I can also try and DL the videos from his site if that will do?
The reviews that are on the DVDs are edited and have all the copyrighted stuff removed, like scenes from certain movies or music that is licensed.

I'm currently in the process of getting his videos from YouTube in MP4 format and going to try to get the newer videos from ScrewAttack as well.

Let me know what you need.

[ressurectionx]

Hey dpolsrod... sounds great.

I'd rather use the non DVD stuff, not just because of all the stuff that's cut out of the DVD's but if we're just ripping YouTube vids then it's not like it's stuff that wasn't already available for everyone to see for free anyways.

We'll need them in WMV format, so you'll have to convert them from MP4.  You'd have to send me a test one to make sure I can then convert it to XMV.  Sometimes the WMV to XMV converter won't work on some WMVs for whatever reason, so I'd just like to verify that they're encoded right before you start doing a whole bunch of them.

[wimpyRBX]

excellent to see you here dpols! knew you would be able to help out with avgn:)

[ressurectionx]

If you want to download everything, that'd be fine, although I don't know how we'd display the videos for non-game stuff.  We'd probably just have a "game review" folder specific to a system and dump them in there to be viewed in the media browser.

This doesn't have to be limited to just avgn.  I know there are some other good game reviewers out there, but I can't remember their names now.  The media browser function will be great for displaying any of this.

I don't know much about resolutions or bitrates, so you'll have to make that decision on your own.  I would download the newest Madmab Edition NES XPORT emulator at the usual spot and try them out for yourself.  

Get me a few testers to look at too.  We'll figure it out.

[wimpyRBX]

Not that I have anything to say on how this project should run, but i feel that even though you don't know how to use some of the xtras in the first release i see no point in collecting additional stuff for future updates

I think gathering AVGN videos would be a swell idea. I even think the guy behind AVGN would be up for sharing his work for a huge project like this if he was asked

[Bomb Bloke]

To my understanding, he has an "exclusivity" deal with GameTrailers, meaning he can't "allow" other people to distribute them (even if GameTrailers themselves do it for free). Apparently this only applies for a year or two after he makes each of his videos, after which time he posts 'em on YouTube.
