          I've lost many time to search for a good stuff to remaster Getsu Fuuma Den and i found nothing i like :(
          Some will ask me so many work to remaster, some is a flyer i don't really like ...
          The problem was this game has a COVER with Hologram ! Two image in one.

          alt text

          I lost some hours during 3 days to find some thing to work and finally I was lucky :)

          alt text

          Like we can see on this photo, the cover is empty, there is only a drawing.
          Finally i have made a mix the COVER and the NOTICE to make it look like other games.

          Getsufuu Maden (Japan)

              @darknior Nice dude. That hologram was a problem.

              Do you have these in a higher definition originally? A lot of these I have images that are much larger than what you're posting here. I was hoping you edited the larger ones and then downsized them for use on the Pi3.

                Like i write before, some time i have, but not always ... and i don't stoke them, i use and delete them.
                These jackets are dirty, with bad colors, stripes, corners damaged, sometimes labels, advertising texts etc ...
                I can only deliver you my stuff like i post it here. Sorry, nothing more.

                    @darknior Can I send, with your autorisation, your wonderfull job to the ScreenScraper DB ?

                    I'm a ScreenScraper Admin, and we always look for nice quality media (adding or upgrading the one we already have)

                    Without your permission, I already uploaded 3 for a test (sorry) you can see it here :

                    https://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=65285&action=onglet&zone=gameinfosmedias#mediazonebox-texture
                    https://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=18822&action=onglet&zone=gameinfosmedias#mediazonebox-texture
                    https://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=88560&action=onglet&zone=gameinfosmedias#mediazonebox-texture

                    You are notified as the "source" (I put "Darknior@Retropie", just put you mouse over the small [i] just after my name ;) )

                    If you grant me the right to do so, I will upload all your work you publish here so every one can scrape the 2D Cover.
                    And even more, MarbleMad (the main ScreenScraper Dev) is working on a system to create automatique "side" when they are missing, so you 2D cover can be converted and scraped in 3D cover ;)

                    Just need your "Go" ^^

                    (If you want, you can do it yourself ^^ just submit them as "Box Front" ^^ but I offer you to do it, it's easier ;) )

                      Hi and thanks a lot @screech

                      But i already have an account from last year, it is better than "Darknior@Retropie" lol
                      https://www.screenscraper.fr/membreinfos.php?membreid=1248
                      If you don't use my account i gain no point, and i will always stay a bad member of your site and i don't like the idea :(

                      I'm a very very good friend of @duff one of your Super Modérateur
                      https://www.screenscraper.fr/membreinfos.php?membreid=608
                      He take all his N64 stuff from the site where i'm working before Emuxtras.
                      For the other system they also have some good stuff, some time better than your's, but not really easy to auto import on ScreenScraper.
                      Because he explain me you have some BATCH import system, to make mass import in your database.
                      And it is what i plan to ask you later, to have access to make Mass Import too and complete your database.


                      When i work on a system with our best of rom set, i make all at 100% with no errors if possible, but i stay a simple human :p

                      1. I create the best of with @Gilou9999 @waal @naxxi
                      2. I scrap it with your Universal Scraper and mix stuff with https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/#s scrap by @waal
                      3. I verify one by one all the games to complète and correct the stuff by hand. Using also some EmuXtra Stuff

                      On NES :

                      LOGO, i replace almost 50% of them.

                      • Bad size, bigger or lower than 400 pixel
                      • Bad colors, bad quality
                      • Bad logo, other game with same name or different version
                      • Or you don't have it, or only in US and not JP

                      COVER, here i share only some of them.

                      • I replace many of them with better quality
                      • Restaure many of them ... some scan are dirty, with bad colors, stripes, corners damaged, sometimes labels, advertising texts etc ...
                      • Create all the Japanese one that you don't have.

                      VIDEO, i found 95% of them on Emumovies, where i have an account from many years,.

                      • And i capture all that no one have. But just 35 sec of Game-play, i don't take the time to put the title at the end.

                      XML informations :
                      For this, i have many help from @Gilou9999 .

                      • number of player We try all the games one by one to complète this for real. And add the most important in multi player, the type : Vs, Coop, Alt (ernative)
                      • All the other informations from most of part : http://www.mobygames.com and https://www.gamefaqs.com ang GOOGLE
                      • Fix many Publisher inverted with Developer.
                      • Add release date
                      • Fix many genre that are wrong, but we only use your list of genre !
                      • And we write all the Description by hand in french. A very long work to do and translate ...

                      It is why i have think to use the BATCH mode, to update all these informations. And not only the covers.
                      When i will finish the NES i will share here a link with the FULL PACKAGE.
                      I must do it quickly for the systems already finished.

                      I'm agree to you help me to upload all my stuff on your site, i want it from the beginning, and i don't have the time to do it myself.
                      Just, i want to be credited for my work, and win SUCCESS.
                      We can speak about all of that by Mail, it will be better than here : darknior@forgez.com

                        wow ^^ Great :D

                        Sorry, don't know you already have an account on ScreenScraper ^^ (so many users :p )

                        For information :
                        I just upgrade your account to "master submiter", so you have access to the Mass Proposal function.
                        https://www.screenscraper.fr/propositionmassmedias.php
                        You can now connect with your best FTP client (like WINSCP, it's the one I use) to the massive deposit function, and very quickly submit your work under your name ;) (what is totally normal)

                        Don't hesitate to ask me directly on the new ScreenScraper Forum, on IRC or here ;) I will be happy to help you ^^

                        (sorry for the 3 first submit I test... I will delete them so you can resubmit them under your name :D it was just a test so you can see what is the result ;) I just want to help you not wasting time to submit 1 by 1 your great work ^^ I prefere you work on what you are really good at ^^ creating Nice cover :D )

                          @screech Ok thanks :)
                          I will try it quickly on my first 3 systems.
                          But if i understand fine it works only for MEDIA : Logo, Cover, Video.
                          I can't also upgrade your database with my text stuff. All the descriptions and informations ... so bad :(

                                    I don't really like the PIXEL covers for US Classic games :(

                                    They use the JAPAN cover image and it is really better i think :)

                                          These are excellent.

                                          Are you taking requests at all? Looking for a remastered Armadillo.

                                            Here's the best one I could find. Maybe darknior could tweak it?
