HyperSpin Community United

[thatman84]

Hey dude, wanted to let you know that I'm glad to see you having a good time with the community. It looks like you've found your place.

 

Ha thanks dude,

 

PS im banging my cutlery on the table singing "why are we waiting"!!

hope to see the themes in the downloads soon

[Styphelus]

As I have been messing with SNES

 

Are we taking that official packs in the downloads are confirmed quality?

 

If so i can fill out the spreadsheet for Wheels, Boxart and cart art

 

The 2D pack in the download's section is ok, but it's only 475x347 and it's not complete. I've been working on a pack that's 680 x500. Missing 86 boxes at the moment.

That should be us.  Create a standard and stick to it.

Styphelus, do you have a project thread for that? What boxes are you missing?

[xALPHAxOMEGAx]

yeah ill help find some boxes

[zorg2000k]

Did you get the a spine for AI Shogi 3 for n64 ?

[Styphelus]

Styphelus, do you have a project thread for that? What boxes are you missing?

 

They are in the vault. There's a larger set and a smaller set of the covers that need to be made bigger. Plus there are still  few missing. Even the larger set needs to have a few of them remade because the quality is not good. I have to revisit this but finding proper artwork is hard.

 

Anyway, since we have an almost complete 2D set and 2 sets of 3d boxes already, this is not a big priority. 

 

I also dropped the Genesis set in the vault. Missing quite a few 2D covers. I will focus on this first after I finish off  a set of flyers for Taito Type X and Arcade PC. I realized these systems didn't have any proper artwork. Just missing artwork for the Pop n'Music games and I should wrap that up in the next couple of days.

I dropped all the flyers for Taito Type X, Arcade PC and Examu Ex-Board in the vault under [Arcade] > Arcade PC > Flyers

 

Pop'n Music Party desperately needs better artwork if anyone can find something better, by all means do so.

 

I didn't know how I should package them to upload to the Hyperspin downloads section. Doesn't really make sense to separate them into 3 different uploads. Or maybe it does?

[thatman84]

Alpha do you have go to websites for source art?

If so could you put a little list together and post it up please

Would be good to have some references for a budding source collector or a little bit of detail on your process.

[xALPHAxOMEGAx]

sounds good ill make one sometime with in the next couple days 

ill throw in some good sources, and some tips and tricks etc

[JSinn]

The website infrastructure has a 200MB upload limit, so that's why we make "packs".

 

I can also get any category made that we may need.

[Styphelus]

Ok. I'm going to make some custom flyers for those pop'n music games, pack them and upload everything to the uploads section. Now we'll have 3 additional systems with cover art.

 

Than it's back to Genesis, SNES and MS-Dos Covers. We need a lot of help cleaning DOS covers. There's 1800 of them. We only have about 100 done so far.

 

Doesn't look like there are a lot of people interested in working on this Community United project.

 

Is anyone making wheels for any systems anymore? Famicom and PC-Engine are already half done. i dropped what I had in the vault. Someone needs to sort them and take out the ones that need re-doing.

I have a great deal of interest in working on this project.  What I do not have is time.  In the time that I do have, I am going through files on the ftp.  I am nearly done so in about another day or 2, I hope to have a pretty good idea of what has been submitted.

 

I am still in data collection mode.  Perhaps someone could help me in my endeavor to understand everything.

 

1.  Is there a standard for artwork dimensions that we are shooting for?  I have a bunch of art but have no idea what I am looking for to regard it as good or not.  Outside of scrolling through each picture and critiquing it, I have thought that what I could do is put a dimension check on my spreadsheet and anything that is below that threshold would be colored yellow so as to need a checking over.

 

2.  Could we develop guidelines for this project.  Everyone has different opinions on what their system should look like.  My envisioning of this project was to create a complete standard for each system.  Wheels with no borders, 2d and 3d cart/box art, and system default themes that would be in line with a "hyperspin default".  These aspects of media could then be tailored to each system as needed.  Borders could be added, box/cart type could be up to the end user, etc.  So if we could all agree on what we would need as the standard that might help us create defaults.

 

3.  I really like the HyperSpin United Spreadsheet.  It offers a quicker way of tracking down the available media for each system.  For people making media though, it is difficult to know what we have and what we do not.  I am working on finding out what is on the FTP, is there a list of what is in all of the other places?  Is there a listing of what HyperBase will have in it?  In other words, how do we know what we have and what we do not?  Is there a central place where all of this is stored?  Can we make one?

From what I can see there are a few active members in this project and we are all spending many hours of effort here to get something going. I'm quickly learning that creating the amount of art need will take YEARS!!(it's already taken years to get what there is now) I will try to make a dent at shortening that time when I learn the art stuff.

Don't forget we have only just started and the joint main priority right now is organising and recording what we have and what we don't have. Myself, Adamg, Sean, Alpha are ploughing through the downloads section, FTP and Hypersync. This is taking time to record but once this is done so much more time will be free to create.

Wheels are being made by Jsinn, Alpha and Sean for WiiWare ATM. They have gone from like 25 to 50% in the last week or 2.

As always everyone is also doing other things like yourself. Keep dropping the stuff in and give ideas on what is in desperate need of art it's appreciated.

When all the available art is detailed we can move on. We need helpers with that if your interested? Then we will all have more time

Someone has to go through every set and match in to the database. Then someone with the knowledge has to decide what's of good quality.

I'm cleaning DOS covers when I have time...but it takes a while to clean 1800 covers

I'm jumping between multiple projects all the time, soon one at least will be finished.

[xALPHAxOMEGAx]

yeah everyone is working on something whats important is marking things off on the spreadsheets so no one is making the same thing twice. if jayc and styph are both working on dos stuff id make sure you both keep track of whats done :]

 

im getting some missing main menu wheels out there 

and helping with the wiiware wheels, finding source art for various systems here and there 

[JayC]

Well we are starting from different letters in the set so no problem with doing the same thing twice..."yet"

[xALPHAxOMEGAx]

nice
