Title: ScreenshotArchive.com is here!
Post by: stuzza on January 15, 2004, 03:51:54 am
Well I decided to finally take the plunge and get decent webhosting!  That's right, finally no more stoopid adds taking up half the damn screen!! Crappy Lycos! ;D

The screenshot archive can now be found here: www.screenshotarchive.com  So please everyone update your links.

I hope to keep the site going for quite some time, so hopefully it will be of use to people.  I've now got tons and tons of space and an adequate amount of bandwidth (hopefully!).

Thank you to everyone who has helped with the collection of screens, scans and skins over the last year.  A big thanks to TalkingOctpus for his generous webhosting too!!

Things you may (or may not :P) see added to the site in the following months:
 - continued updates and reworking of the Screenshot sets, to clean them up, separate them into sets and finish them off. (If you wanna help with this, let me know)
- attempts at collecting more box and cartridge scans
- More useful information for Mamewah
- A section for Australian MAMErs with links to Australian examples, places to get parts etc....

If anyone has suggestions for things they'd like me to add then feel free to get in touch.

As a start, The following items have been added in the last day(See the News page for future updates):
NES Cartridge Scans - USA 770 of 855 (20MB)
AtariLynx Cartridge Scans - 136 of 230 (3MB)
Visual Pinball Screens - 11MB - Thanks to DBut for these!!

Also just added another 121 Gameboy Mono Box Scans.  I've made these available as a separate download. ;D

hmm... I'm getting a similar problem when trying to download from work.  The NES carts should be around 18MB in size not 1.5MB!  I'll try and upload the file again tonight.

i have tons of bandwidth on some webhosts that i don't even use anymore (pre-paid for another 11 months), if you need any mirrors for the bigger files.

Oops, seems I left these off during the last site redesign.  :P  I've added them again to the bottom of the skins page.

Site update: I've re-uploaded the Nintendo Cart Scans so they should work now.  I've split it into a 2 file rar archive.  Download both parts and then use Winrar to extract.
