I was actually tossing that around also.... I purchased classicarcadeart.com domain name earlier in the week for that purpose, but I need to see if it would be worth the hosting and bandwidth fees.

These are not Vector images, and even converting to Jpgs, especially the full sidearts, will be pretty large at 300dpi.

I was also thinking about having some free Multi-arcade vector artwork available for people to download on the new site, people could download them and customize and then and have them printed (hopefully by me, but does not have to be) I was going to see if Pixelhugger still wanted to offer his services for putting some images together for the group.

Lots of ideas... never enough time...

To clear up any misconceptions...it was just an IDEA...i am NOT going to purchase the set...and if I ever did (say, because the BYOC group decided against getting it), any charge I would set would be in order to recoup the $999. I am not out to burn the community....sheesh.

AGAIN...I have no plans on purchasing the set...

ChadTower · « **Reply #163 on:** January 11, 2007, 12:53:11 pm »

I don't see any problems even if you were going to buy it for profit. That's your choice. I doubt Scott plans on making them available free of charge either. A business investment is a business investment.

I am going to presume that this was aimed at me since I was the only one who offered a differing viewpoint (how one response warrants a sheesh is a little baffling).

Having one person handle this is not my preferred approach, although my concerns would somewhat mitigated with someone like Scott who has been around and looks like he will continue to be around. My preferred solution is to have a bunch of people with copies.

It's not a big deal so, as I said, go for it.

FrizzleFried · « **Reply #165 on:** January 11, 2007, 07:32:33 pm »

Cheffo...actually it was more directed to the (more than one) person who PMed me.

Hey scott, Did classicarcadegraffix send you the files ?

scottp · « **Reply #167 on:** January 19, 2007, 10:58:57 am »

Yep, I have them. I am having my developer do the dirty work, but before I can give it to him, I have to sort everything into categories and create thumbnails. I also am looking through each one to make sure they are good scan/reproductions. Very time consuming....

Kaytrim · « **Reply #168 on:** January 19, 2007, 11:21:29 am »

Good luck on the sorting. Thank you for saving this collection from digital dumpster.

Hockeyboy · « **Reply #169 on:** February 04, 2007, 04:43:57 am »

So what was/is the final outcome on this purchase?

For those of us who came in "late" what can the average hobbyist expect to have happen from this?

Eventually most of the artwork will be available to the BYOAC community in one form or another. Right now most of us that originally donated have access to the artwork, but as a courtesy to Classic Arcade Graffix we'd prefer not to turn around and give his product to the whole community for free straight away; doing so would completely devalue the artwork that he's put a serious amount of time and effort into and wouldn't be fair on him, or others that have bought the artwork as business investments (like MameMarquees).
I'm putting together a web-gallery with low/medium resolution versions of everything, so everyone gets to take a look at the artwork.

Edit: Okay, cat's out of the bag. Here's the site I've been working on (with a lot of Screaming's help):

Wow, I completely missed this thread

I would have liked to contribute $'s - but looks like thats a bit late.

If there is still interest is hosting a dedicated FTP site, I might be able to help. I can set up a box running FreeBSD as an FTP server with a dedicated 100Mbit connection.

I can help with admin of the box, but its not something I would really want to do full time. I'd prefer to set up someone else with an SSL login so they could handle creating user logins etc. I can pretty much leave this up indefinitely.

I don't seem to get a chance to contribute to the community very often, so I'd be happy to do this. If there is interest in this, Saint or any other (non commercial) mame/arcade related site ops would be welcome to host (legal) files as well.

Just let me know if there's any interest in this,

Koz

There is a new group buy in process over in the main forum. Cheffo is heading it up.

Cheffo was in on the first buy ... Fozzy is heading it up (it's easy to confuse us, we're both muppets and we both know that Bob's your uncle!).

Those interested, haul @$$ over there:

Almost three years since I suggested the groupbuy and today I received the full copy !

(Totally my own "fault" that it took so long, but I wasn't in any kind of rush

)

Thanks to all involved, thanks to Zorg for doing the final copy for me !

ChadTower · « **Reply #179 on:** September 04, 2009, 01:55:30 pm »

Heh, I just recently got mine too, for the same reasons. Just didn't get around to it.

SavannahLion · « **Reply #180 on:** September 04, 2009, 10:32:32 pm »

I don't know whether to laugh or say congrats.

Beretta · « **Reply #181 on:** September 05, 2009, 02:37:22 am »

interesting so are there any plans to make the collection available outside of the buy group?

i would'nt mind having a copy however thats probably not practical given that 400 gb is still a lot in 2009, maybe in 5 years someone will host the whole 400gb and it'll be no big deal.

anyway i am specifically interested in getting a hold of double dragon 1 bezel, and double dragon 2 control panel.

was either of those included in the art collection? i dont need original psd or tiff bloat, a jpeg would be fine i can do any snipping and cropping from that..

im concerning using them in my project even though it's not a double dragon restore i just like the dragon artwork and wanna toy with what it might look like.

ChadTower · « **Reply #182 on:** September 05, 2009, 12:09:33 pm »

The original intent of the first group was to make it public domain somehow. The size of the data just hasn't been practical yet but I'm sure someone can help you out with those individual files if they are present. I'd have to dig my drive out but if no one else has it handy I can take a look for you.

Here's all the DD stuff, not much I'm afraid:

CodeWhite · « **Reply #184 on:** September 10, 2009, 10:12:22 am »

Is there any way you guys can send the Mechanized Attack Side Art to Mame Marquees so I can have it reproduced? Ive been looking everywhere and I cant find it available.

If we have it, then Scott has it ...

Damn... I guess I need to keep an eye on the Misc forum also, I typically only browse the Main and Artwork forums...

A couple of days ago I (mamemarquees) partnered up with Gremlins solutions In the UK and sent CAG $999 for the collection. So we will have the images available for printing on our sites in a couple of weeks. I do plan on cleaning up any color and scanning issues that I come across as people order them.

Digging up this ancient thread again.

I was wondering about the financial situation on this. I see Joymonkey is still hosting the site and files and requiring a donation of 10 bucks which seems really fair, but as the initiator of the group buy idea I'd like to see some financial break-down. Are you still running this on a cost basis Joymonkey ? Do the donations cover it ? Maybe there's even some "left over" ? Just would like to read a word about it that's all.
