      I usually search up "cool fonts" or "mario fonts" and that's how it gets me directly to the font itself.

      Google is your friend. :D

          @itsnitro Exactly, search for fonts the same way you'd look for ROMs.

            here we go, it turned out to not be that hard to make this from the original image without the font, a little microsoft paint action and its done.

                  I would be the happiest man in the world if you could make a Jojo's bizarre adventure Splashscreen.

                        @spruce_m00se where did the original image come from? "licensed to nintendo of america"? Was this the virtual console version? If it's not, I'm 100% confused.

                          @felleg you know what? I have no idea, lol, I googled it on my lunch break and just picked the one closest to what I remember. it must be a virtual console version, Im pretty sure Im going to have to change it anyway to the sega version, as thats what I played as a kid. I might make some whitty text for people to read instead of leaving it as normal.

                          Im half playing with the idea of making an intro video like in the game but with these letters.

                              @jozzy1 No, photoshop crashed. My hard drive is fine.

                              I've suffered a few hard drive failures before, they are not fun at all

                                @lilbud why woudl you lose all your work from photoshop crashing ? surely you have the .psd files still?
                                I had a hdd drive crash after it tured 13 months old, it wasnt a great experience, I managed to recover all files but one though.

                                  @spruce_m00se I usually attempt to create splashscreens in one shot, no saving. I only recently started saving the files of finished and unfinished splashscreens.

                                  On the topic of HDD failures, I've had a few, including one a few months on my school computer. The hard drive got corrupted and I lost all of my notes for the year.

                                    thats bad luck, it seems to me as though you need a lesson on good file backup practice.
                                    I was always taught, that the frequency of your saves should reflect the amount of work you are willing to lose. IE if you save every half an hour then you can only lose half an hours work if it crashes.
                                    I always save the .psd files during the process, If I make and big changes during the process I will save a new .psd called v1.2 etc etc..
                                    then save the final version and then export as .png or whatever you need.

                                    then get yourself into a routine of backing up files, I normally have an external HDD on which I place files, when it fills, i simply buy a new one, which normally has doubled in capacity for the same price by that point, I then drag and drop every file from the old to the new, and leave the old in storage.

                                    Really personal files that cannot be replaced from torrents etc, go onto a seperate SD card backup, which is held in an airtight metal container that should act as a pretty decent faraday cage.

                                    There is a whole world of pain when making backups, temperature and humidity are your worst enemies, then data loss over time, then mechanical failure due to the HDD not being used etc.

                                    In short, and SD card should be good on average for ten years, a HDD will likely fail in that time and DVD's will almost certainly fail.

                                    the best option from what I have seen is M-disc, but I havent used that yet, I will however get some to use as my permenant backup.

                                    All of this means that I still have files that I made back in 1998.

                                      @spruce_m00se I did get scolded by the school's tech teacher. While I lost my notes, a lot of work was not lost thanks to being stored in the cloud.

                                      I also have a few external HDD drives, where I store my most important files, ones that could never be replaced. Documents and photos live on this drive while is stored safely away when I am away.

                                      I once wiped a HDD by complete accident

                                      All of my splashscreens and .psd/.xcf files are in one location.

                                      My file storage habits may sound strange. I've always had a problem with organization, I got files all over the place, spanned out over multiple Hard Drives and cloud storage solutions
