Continued thanks for these JhonnyD

Thanks for your endeavour!

You're doing stellar work here! Many thanks. Any issues of Hi Score on PerfectDark?

Could you please tag your Japanese uploads as "right to left" so that the pages are ordered correctly in the web viewer? Here's how: https://www.retromags.com/forums/topic/11191-japanese-magazines-scan-project/?do=findComment&comment=55369 Thanks!

Great work @Ethereal Dragonz!

That method seems solid. But how come your file was 7z not a zip? Is your archive app set to create 7z by default? It might be doing it without you realising. Edit: Latest file on archive is now a zip.

I'm not bashing on you because I really appreciate you sharing this. But please be aware that zip is as different to 7z as far, and the files will need naming cbz/cb7/cbr appropriately. This may or may not be the problem with archive, but it will help people like me be able to view these files more easily. (I haven't checked any of your other recent files) Thanks again for the upload!

I just downloaded it and my CBZ viewer (Simple Comic) would not view the file. It seems to be a 7z so the file extension should be CB7 not CBZ. So, that could also be the reason.

Sure. I just wanted to view it online without having to download it.

Why has archive not done anything with the cbz (like convert to other formats)? Should it?

I installed PerfectDark in a Windows VM on macOS and it is working. Opening ports was the trickiest part, as I had to do it in multiple places: modem & routers (I already had a port open so I reused that number in PerfectDark settings) in the VM using nat.conf and confirming the VM's local IP address And of course open the firewall for VMWare Fusion. PerfectDark was good enough to show the correct port open status so it was easy to see once I had it working. I found some 花札 (Hanafuda) related stuff already. So we're good to go!

Please tell us how this came to be!? Thanks

I've been watching Netflix "Hi Score Girl" and GAMEST features heavily in episode 5, and more. The series features quite accurate details of early 90s arcade gaming in Japan. https://www.netflix.com/title/80997338

Thanks for the GAMEST link! Great stuff. Please do let us know when you get to the end of this journey! I'm intrigued. Linkle Liver Story リンクルリバーストーリー 1996 SS＿リンクルリバーストーリー　【3▼22】31 Issue 379, 22 March 1996 https://www.retromags.com/gallery/image/23592-famitsu-0379-march-22-1996/ SS＿リンクルリバーストーリー　【4▼12】37 Issue 382, 12 April 1996 https://www.retromags.com/gallery/image/23595-famitsu-0382-april-12-1996/

I typed it in using the Emoji picker and the forum converted it to an image. I first saw that symbol pre-web in Gran Turismo's driving lesson, when you narrowly missed the target time. It taunted me for years before I found out what it really meant. The index does list advertisements (they classified every page content type until 23 Oct 1992, but not the issues after that) Also, the two images do appear to be one each of left/right page so that would tally up with one each of odd/even page numbers?

Cool! Thanks. So the tweet confirms 1995 as part of an ad for the game. In my bookmarks I have this cross-referenced index of Famitsu contents: http://bring.under.jp/ftindex/ Magical Popn has Japanese title of マジカルポップン Two references in 1995 are: platform＿game　【issue】page SF＿マジカルポップン　【1/6・13】173　 SF＿マジカルポップン　【3/17】38,45 The first is issue 316/317 from January, https://www.retromags.com/gallery/image/23560-famitsu-03160317-january-613-1995/ The second is issue 326 from March, https://www.retromags.com/gallery/image/23564-famitsu-0326-march-17-1995/ Given that there were two pages in the tweet I think this is the issue you're looking for. I'm not aware of those two issues having been scanned and/or shared. But good luck tracking them down!

Thanks, you see I've already missed some!

The supporting art in some of these guide books is amazing. Thanks for posting them!

Can you please link the tweet this is from? Magical Pop'n was released 10 March 1995 so I guess it was an issue around then.

I know it's "how long is a piece of string" or "when it's ready" but - roughly - how far off will these scans be? thanks

A random quick/unedited instruction leaflet scan, before I post this to a friend. https://archive.org/details/AnglerTotalControlPadInstructionsSuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem

Is that when scanning will start/the first scan will be uploaded? (don't want to miss any of these)

Sorry for the revive, I just stumbled across a handful of issues of Technopolis on archive.org - cool design - besides the borderline hentai https://archive.org/details/@miralita 1989–01 1989–02 1989–03 1989–04 1989–05

@kitsunebi77 yes indeed, the EB translation was from 1992. A more complete translation came along in 2012 (still truncated) and the full thing in 2016. To the Wikipedian Yobs: I say that's noteworthy! @E-Day yes I should have! Thanks
