Provide some box scans

[bLAZER]

I got sent a couple of scans, so here's a new one. Does anyone have The Untouchables (not Hit Squad version) and could scan the fron,left and top?

These look great! Good luck with the project. I can scan the front and side of Heretic II if that is of use?

Have you given any thought to making these a 3D object that can be manipulated by the user? I know this means up to 6 scans, but it would be a fantastic thing to have.

[bLAZER]

Heretic II? That's not for a classic Amiga is it?

Having a realtime interactive box would be cool yes, but I don't know for what purpose at the moment...and would be more work. However parts of this work can be used if one wants to do that in the future.

Here's another one:

What about the front-end? Some innovative functions?

Very gooooood box anyway!!!

[bLAZER]

I use Hyperspin which is think it's the best, but of course these boxes can be used in any frontend.

[DDNI]

Hmmm Heretic II ran on my Classic A1200 BPPC

Can you run it in WinUAE?

Nope, needs a PPC.

Hi bLAZER, hyperspin is a fantastic frontend (I am thinking to use it in my arcade cabinet), could I suggest you to open a webpage with all this scans and a description for this initiative? I myself can provide some scans (for example MK and MK II). I can ask to help us in many sites here in Italy that are focused in games collection and arcade games
Let me know

PS: I'd like to have/produce also a dat file like history.dat used in mame but for amiga games

[bLAZER]

Hi ArcadeHeart. We have an official thread for Amiga stuff at Hyperspin's forum: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7061

We also made a "official" database (Hyperspin database) with WHDLoad games.

It would be awesome if you could make some scans (and find others who could help out), so just go ahead and post them anywhere, or you could upload them to my FTP if you'd prefer that.

Hall of light has a huge amount of info. They could provide an XML file for use in emulator front ends, but they might not want to...

If not, Lemonamiga also has a lot of info, with plenty of references. I think their discontinued lemonade program also included some offline version.

Game descriptions are nice for frontends though. History.dat has them, but as far as I know the amiga sites don't.

Good luck!

Here's another version, this also needed som serious Photoshop clean up:

Nice job! Looks great! Do you have Chaos Engine also as transparency PNG?

[bLAZER]

Can't find it... but I'll rerender most of these and put them somewhere so you can download them all.

@watertonian Would be awesome if you could help me out. Basically it's every game in WHDLoad, you could maybe take the biggest hits to start with, except the following which I already have done: (but I'm greateful for any game)
armalyte
cannon fodder
chaos engine
denaris
fernandez must die
godfather
life&death
prince of persia
striker
supferfrog
war in the gulf

I know I have Cannon Fodder, there's a few others in there too. I'll get scanning next time I'm using windows. (Unless somebody knows how to get a Kodak aio 5200 printer/scanner to work in Linux :-D )

if you want to send some across to me I'll clean and colour correct them for you..half the work shared is half the work done

Cannon Fodder is actually one a the few I already did, but I'm looking forward to some other scans!

Thanks, but it's not that big of a deal (yet), the biggest (only) work is to get rid of the seam between the front and the side, and it's best to be able to take a look in the 3D app for that. If the scans gets to many to handle I'll contact you though

Here's a new type of box, very thin:
