  1. ... I'm not sure why the images aren't embedding anymore, and I can't edit the post, agh.
  2. So a while back, after I made my first donation to Retromags, I mentioned I'd try to get more local magazines for y'all to scan. Well, I managed to get a decent lot: (I believe one of these PlayMania books has a cut up back cover, but the rest is fine) Game Master was a Mexican magazine that ran from 2009 until 2015, this collection has several issues from 2009 to 2012. PlayMania and Hobby Consolas are from Spain, Club Nintendo is the Mexican version, and that Xbox magazine is also from Mexico. Just like last time, I'll happily ship these to you guys if you cover the postage from California to wherever.
  3. I really wish archive.org's upload tool had a Windows version, my upload speed is so awful that I can't really upload anything that large. Their command line tool - for linux and Mac OS X only - supports resuming. I'm currently trying to figure out how to use it via a VM. I'm that desperate.
  4. The scans are basically monochrome, so it's not even necessary to rescan the page. Just delete the line caused by the hair.
  5. Howdy! I live in Mexicali, Mexico, and go to the Walmart in Calexico, California about twice a month - I've seen the magazine there (and its counterpart, Geek Magazine) at the beginning of every month, but they run out pretty quickly since they're free and at the reach of anyone. The most copies I've seen, right at the start of the month, have been 20. The only difference I've noticed between the print version and the online PDF / Reader version... is the ads. And maybe an extra ad insert, and sometimes it's inside a baggie. At my store they usually put these in the middle of the electronics section, next to the computers, but they also used to be next to the video games. Sorry for the late reply.
  6. The site says it was a Comiket release, so maybe the rights are hanging around somewhere. I dunno.
  7. ... this is odd. The game was canceled, but it still had a soundtrack release? https://vgmdb.net/album/61687
  8. ... looks like I can't edit my posts for some reason (what) but it looks like the newer ones are just jpgs. So yeah I'm ripping these today.
  9. Hi. The magazine links are basically glorified Flash viewers, all pages are stored as individual SWF files. In theory it might be possible to extract the images from them and assemble a full magazine out of them. As of today, there's only Geek Magazine 1-6 and Gamecenter 52 to 64 up on the site.
  10. Uh, yeah. At those prices I think I'll just use my camera. x_x
  11. Any suggestions for scanning these in? I have a lot of stuff I want to scan and potentially upload, but every time I try to scan the insert, I have issues with the spines, since I can never get them flat enough. Should I try to get one of those single page scanners that drag the pages through them? Or something else? Thanks.

    Caution

    No but really this got posted on Twitter, so I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.

    That's nice.
  14. The internet will take care of hosting those.
  15. I was going to ask if this was possible with a hair dryer. I only have a few mags I want to debind.
