  1. I sent that seller an email asking if he would combine shipping, he still has yet to reply. But yes you can have them sent directly to me for scanning
  2. Sweet baby Jesus....Cant wait to see them scanned Good finds Meppi!
  3. Closing topic.....New deal coming! -Phillyman

  5. Because it was the sole issue missing from my 001-040 set. Now I can release out 1997-2000 with no holes
  6. You could always help in getting the missing PSM issues Issue 43 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=260151297481 Issue 44 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=260151295606 Issue 46 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=260151520091 Issue 48 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=260151299892 Issue 50 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=260151333733 Issue 53 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=260151526059
  7. Its not really a choice of one or the other. We have more then enough space to host 2 versions of each release. 600GB is roughly 3600 Magazines to be hosted. So if anyone wants to convert.....more power to them
  8. I have been using Omnipage with my Canon scanner, well a few nights ago I was messing around and I noticed an "Enhance" button. So I clicked on it and up popped the first page I scanned. At the top was a nice set of icons....So I start playing around....The first thing I notice is a skew icon.....So I click it and a grid is placed over my scan and I can grab onto this grid and straighten out my scan OMG! So then I notice a Crop icon......and I click on it......I drag a box around my scanned image and as I let go of the mouse button ....the white space disappears!!!! So if anyone is looking for a very easy way to clean up scans.....Go and get yourself a copy of Omnipage 16 Professional Edition. If you look at the first page of my last few releases, I have been cleaning up the cover as a test run. Even if you dont own a scanner, this program can bulk import images for cleaning up. I would say that it would take 10 seconds to edit each page....maybe less as you get the hang of it. So a 120 page magazine is going to take roughly 20 minutes to edit :grin: I am saving all the untouched scans so that after I hit my 150th scan.....I can go back and clean them all up Go here to learn about Omnipage http://www.nuance.com/omnipage/howtoguides/ -Rob
  9. Oh you will still need more, just wait until I open the floodgates on EGM :devil:
  10. The Download manager gives me the following abilities.... Restrict Downloads Per Usergroup Set Max Bandwidth per Usergroup Set Max # of Downloads Per Usergroup Posts Required for Each Download Obviously I have Guests and Validating set to NOT be able to download. And you guys know the rest from my post above. I could set it up to give users an additional download for each post or two they create on this board. Unfortunately people abuse such things when they are in place. If I had a stronger user base on this forum I could work it more easily. I would need more moderators to patrol the forums for people abusing the system. I am currently looking into a way to code an auto promotion into the Download system, so that each time a user uploads and submits a magazine (and a moderator approves it) that they get auto promoted to Premium Member for 30 days. Last month we had 156GB of magazines downloaded from Retromags.....Thats not even counting the Rapidshare links. That only comes out to 2% of my bandwidth quota that I am allowed.
  11. Havent played them yet, but first need to get a CDI God its going for $84 with 3 hours left http://cgi.ebay.com/Zeldas-Adventure-CDI_W...1QQcmdZViewItem
  12. There is always something worth buying off Ebay for scanning
  13. Good info to know, I still need to complete my Gameboy system collection also......just missing Gameboy Light (JP) Gameboy Micro Gameboy Advance (old style) One day Im gonna get me a Virtual boy, Hopefully I dont go blind :laughing:
  14. I do own this one..... http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-LEGEND-OF-ZELDA-CO...1QQcmdZViewItem But I dont own this one ...... http://cgi.ebay.com/Zelda-Ocarina-of-Time-...1QQcmdZViewItem
  15. So I found a copy of Links Awakening for the GB at Gamestop for $3 Now I almost have a complete collection of Zelda Games...... Have The Legend of Zelda (NES) The Adventure of Link (NES) A Link to the Past (SNES) Links Awakening (GB) Ocarina of Time (N64) Majora's Mask (N64) Oracle of Seasons (GBC) Oracle of Ages (GBC) The Wind Waker (GC) Twilight Princess (Wii) Phantom Hourglass (NDS) Missing Four Swords (GBA) Four Swords Adventures (GC) The Minish Cap (GBA) Missing Unofficial The Faces of Evil (CDI) The Wand of Gamelon (CDI) Zelda's Adventure (CDI) I know there are ports and clones, but not really interested in collecting them. Cant wait to get those last 3
  16. I offered him a FAIR price for that magazine. Based off this auction which I didn't win http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...W:IT&ih=005 Also that Third issue of Nintendo Fun Club is overpriced, it should only be worth $25-$30
  17. mr-nintendo has declined your offer of US $60.00. You still have time to make another offer. The listing ends in 11 hours 40 mins. As high as I was willing to go :(
  18. We try to be as fair as possible, Even if someone doesnt contribute they will still be able to use the Rapishare links to get the releases. And for those hard to find releases we provide 5 direct downloads per month. If they post they get more, if they help they get a lot more My dream is to have 20 people on this website that can scan just 1 magazine per month. That would be 4-5 new releases per week!
  19. I only said I wouldn't buy any......never said they couldnt be bought by others or donated
  20. Scan em all I say :devil: I can still look at the pretty pictures :cool:
  21. Had to promise not to buy anymore magazines In all fairness I do have about 500+ magazines now :laughing:
  22. Very easy! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1185265538228 + + = Releases!
