Crashtest snapshots for use in Mamewah

[LeedsFan]

I've been doing some searching on this site to try and remove those awful white borders from my screenshots. I carried these over to Mamewah from my Mame32 days and it seems I need to download some better quality ones from "Crashtest".

However, none of the links I can find will work. Are these screenshots available anymore?     I can't find them through Google either.

Actually I just googled 'crashtest emulation' - top answer

I'm not sure why Crashtest's site is down anway...maybe he's making a new one...

Yes Crashtest is apparantly making a new site.

In the meantime, he has a temp site at emufrance here:

I can understand if he wants to spruce up his site a little, but I don't understand why he killed the old one in the mean time.  Seems to me he could have kept it up and posted links to the newer files on the news blog.  That way he doesn't have to update a site he's gonna kill anyway and yet we still have access to all of his files. 

I've looked at the emu-france packs, and to be honest, they are a mess.  He's put all the artwork for a specific build of mame in a single zip, with different folders inside.  The only problem is none of the folders are named in the standard mame naming convention, and thus, unless you wish to spend all of your time, extracting the zips to a temp directory, one at a time, renaming the 10-15 sub folders, and manually copying the folders back to where you store them, you are screwed. 

This is why I go by the simple "if it ain't broke don't fix it" philosophy.  Kelsey was nice enough to setup my site nearly two years ago and apart from news updates, it's remained unchanged since then.  Why?  I'm not stupid.... people don't come to my site to see how purdy it is, they come there to downlaod fes and utilities.  To waste my time on a site overhaul would be just that, a waste of my time.  More importantly, it would hurt the community as time would be diverted away from things that are actually important.

I'm not meaning to rant, it just seems that several mame devs (not crashtest, this is unrelated) have taken it upon themselves to either overhaul, or start brand new wip sites.  It makes me wonder how much time they waste updating these wips rather than doing actual work on the mame code.  We have like 15 wip sites atm.  Imho this is crazy.  Wasn't that the point of the official wip site, mainly that only one guy looks over the current wip contributions and generates snaps and thus the other devs can get back to work.

Question is, without the Retrogames site, where can us newbies go to get the Crashtest snaps without the hosed directories?
