  1. While I am reorganizing the Nintendo Power torrents and getting everything set for a re-release, I figured I would give you guys an idea of where I am in my progress. This thread will detail the following things.... Filling in Missing Issues Filling in Missing Posters Filling in Missing Covers Filling in Missing Supplements Filling in Missing Comics Fixing out of order pages Listing of what needs Rescanning Integrating Supplements Into Each Issue Renaming Issues Removal of Player Poll Cards Rescan of Covers with Address Labels Joining Posters from 3 Images into 1 Image Renaming JPGs Reorganize Nintendo Power Folder Structure Completion of NFO Files Condensing 1988-2002 into 3 Major Torrents and 11 Individual Torrents (October 2002) Integrating Retromags Thank You Page into each Issue I am in the progress of setting up a Public FTP share that will have all the posters that need joining, There will also be a folder having all the Covers inside that could use some touchup (if we have time). To Help With Joining of Posters or Touching Up Covers! FTP Logon Information Address = retromags.kicks-ass.net port = 21 username = ihelp password = retromags
  2. While I am redoing the torrents for the Nintendo Power set, I am looking for anything Nintendo Power related.. Do you have the Nintendo Power Pin? Do you have the Nintendo Power magazine holders? Do you have the Nintendo Power commercial on an old VHS tape? We are looking for people to take the highest resolution pictures of anything that is Nintendo Power related and submit it. We will be including a Misc folder within the torrent that will have this pictures in.
  3. I was thinking it would be sweet if they released them in a format that could be easily read on the Nintendo Wii
  4. WON! 3 Issues of Nintendo Power Flash
  5. If Nintendo saw this project, and decided to release out the Nintendo Power collection from 1988 to the present.....How much would you honestly be willing to pay per issue. This takes into account that all the issues would be the same price. So if Nintendo released out PERFECT electronic copies of all the past issues, what would be the most you would pay for each issue?
  6. Found something cool on Youtube that pertains to videogames? Post it up in here for us to watch!
  7. If you are found cheating in the Retromags Arcade, Casino or Battle System, you will lose that privilege. They are here for members to enjoy, not to abuse them! You will also have your account suspended for 30 days. Its just pathetic! Seriously grow up.. -Phillyman

  14. Yes it used to be 100 posts to enter the Magazine section, Now we lowered it to 5 posts to encourage people to post, but not high enough to worry about spam topics
  15. Thats a pretty awesome idea, I am in the progress of trying to buy issue 1 of Nintendo Power, I want to get a better set of covers then whats currently being used, Once I get one I will let you know so you can update it. Wonder if we can work the Retromags.com into that picture somehow .....
  16. As many of you may have noticed the releases have been a bit slow of lately, I am constantly trying to streamline how this website works. Also I am currently working on the reconstruction of the Nintendo Power Torrents. As many of you already know they will be condensed down into three 50 issue torrents and 8-9 individual issue torrents....bringing us up to issue 158/159 The work has been started as of yesterday unzipping all the .cbr files and recreating the file and directory structures. These new torrents will be releases as they are completed with the first one probably coming out in a week or two. What needs to be done 1) Unzip all .cbr files 2) Recreate directory structures 3) Standardize naming standard 4) Integrate supplements into each issues .cbr 5) Integrate missing posters 6) Intergrate missing covers 7) Intergrate missing comics 8) Integrate missing supplements 9) Check for missing pages 10) Remove player poll inserts from earlier issues 11) Remove Address lables from releases 12) Check for pages being out of order 13) Convert and Insert .nfo files into .jpg's and place as 2nd to last page of each .cbr 14) Insert Retromags Thank You Page as last page of each .cbr 15) Join Posters from 6 images into 2 images (front and back) As I get each of these things done I will post a status update below, Its gonna be nice once all this is done because then I can play with Sega Visions as my next project (which will be a quicker project)
  17. I can see where your coming from on this, I honestly go to Slickdeals.net and look for free magazine offers now adays.

The only paying sub I have right now is Nintendo Power.
