My Remastered NES Covers
-
@used2berx Yes i have already made some videos :)
I have made them for the 8 systems we have finish.
SNES, NES, GENESIS, MASTER SYSTEM, NEC CD, NEC Supergrafx, 3DO, DAPHNE.I take all the EMUMOVIES video they already made, and complete with our games they don't have.
Like them i made 640x480 video.
I capture the game video in real size and full screen without black bar, and scale it to 640x480 and compress it in MP4.
If i don't know the game, i play a little before recording video, to not die and have some skill ;)
All videos have same sound too.I think we are agree for all, except one thing !
I don't make the fade at the end with title 5sec.
All my videos are 32 sec, the PI player made a little 1 sec fade at start and end.
Adding the tital will really take me so many time, and we think it is not important to see if a game is cool to play or not.Life is game, just play it !

@darknior That's cool. I'll have to check them out at some time.
I still want to make them with the title fade, but perhaps whenever I get around to making my videos I could get instructions exactly how you made yours and then just add the titles to mine if I want to take the time to re-make everything.
I'm not a fan of emumovies. It's no offense to them. I'm not a fan of our own videos from Rx1.0 either. There were just way too many hands on the project and no consistent format was used. I actually had to turn the volume off on the videos and just listen to the background mp3 over all of them because about 5% of the videos were so loud that they'd make you jump out of your seat when scrolling through games.
I think it would be best if one person did all of them, or if a team were to create them that everybody is doing them the exact same way. It's good to know that at least the videos you've done were all done at the same volume level. That's a great starting point for what I want to do and would probably save me loads of time when I'm ready to start doing the videos myself. Maybe I could get my hands on your NES videos sometime soon and start playing around with them?
I'd also like to get that set of NES covers you've worked on and figure out which ones I'm going to use to replace what I already have.
I think it's best if we discuss doing that over on the other site though. :)

@darknior Hey bud...
I was wondering if you might be able to work your magic on this boxart?
I know most of the pirate fighters are pretty much garbage on the NES, but this one is pretty cool. I love the box, but this is the biggest and best one I was able to find online and it looks like poop. :)
-
@used2berx What's the name of this HACK ?
Where i can found it ?
I must have it to make some search et informations. -
It's World Heroes 2 Pro.
-
@livefastcyyoung Thanks
I will try to do something ... but it is write crappy game on the Youtube video lolLife is game, just play it !
-
@darknior Yes. Thanks @LiveFastCyYoung for posting that link. :)
It's not any more or less crappy than any of the other VS fighters on the NES. There are only one or two that are outstanding in any way. This one pretty much has one of the basic fighting engines the pirates used so the gameplay isn't that great, but the intro menus are pretty sweet for it and I really like that boxart. Just can't find any good image of it online.
No worries if you can't get to it. I just wanted the box to look better and fixing that one is beyond my capabilities.
-
@darknior You might want to think about adding this Rockman IV hack man.
http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/910/
I think of all the hacks in my collection, this one stands out from all the rest of the Mega Man series hacks.
Any of the Boss Rush hacks are good too.
(Speaking of which, you might want to check out the Zelda II Boss Rush hack. That one is GREAT).
-
@used2berx Yes thanks i have add it some weeks ago with some others, i must come back to NES to finish my covers :p
I take time on ScummVM, OpenBOR and other projets ... -
@darknior Hello there friend. Your work is awesome! By any chance have you remastered or created any boxart for the Game & Watch handheld games? I can't seem to find any quality boxart for G&W anywhere.
-
@hyruleslink Hello
I must do them for sure, i already have take some stuff.
But i must come back finish NES before :)Life is game, just play it !
-
@darknior that's really nice, just saw this post.
Maybe you should check out this website: http://www.thecoverproject.net/ they have almost all NES usa covers in HD. and lots of other covers in HD for other systems -
@darknior Is there a way to download all your images at once? maybe a repo on github ?

Yes i know them but found US covers is really easy, i already have them all, i work most on JAP or EU covers impossible to found :(@virginsteele said in My Remastered NES Covers:

Not for now, i upload to Screenscraper my work each time i finish a system.
Why not a git, but when i watch how many place they give, it was not enough for the NES package if understand fine.
Do you know the limit ?Life is game, just play it !
-
@darknior I dont know. Im just asking coz I make all my gamelists etc all custom, so having to download them all manually is time consuming.
But there's mediafire service which is free and you can upload up to 50gb I think.
-
@darknior Hey bud. Any chance you uploaded a pack of your NES covers somewhere yet? I finally got the re-writes on the synopsis finished and I'm planning what my next big projects will be. Lots of stuff to do before I start to try to make new HD videos for all the games, and integrating your awesome box art is one of them. :)
-
@used2berx I will try but for the moment i try to finish Atai800, all the text and covers.
I miss videos if you have some of them ? -
@darknior I should have all of the 7800 videos you need unless you've got some real obscure stuff. I've got all the official releases covered for sure. They're the SD videos from the Rx1.0 set though... not sure if that matters to you or not. I've got them in both XMV and WMV. Let me know what you need.
-
@used2berx Thanks a lot but i already have your RX 1.0 stuff. But i think i will not use it, WMV are not really beautiful. i use MP4.
And i search for Atari 800 stuff, nobody never do it. Over the net we can only found Atari 2600 or 7800.
I have finished yesterday the gamelist.xml with full informations, i work now on covers and after i think i will have no choice to create videos :( -
@darknior Yeah man... sorry. All I've got is the old Rx1.0 stuff and I'm looking to replace that myself.
I'm looking at having to make about 2,000 NES videos soon. I think it will be ages before I'm thinking about Atari stuff. :)
