Title: Does anybody have complete sets of console artwork (nes, snes, 2600, etc.)
Post by: ratabase1 on June 20, 2006, 10:08:51 pm: Has anyone been able to find complete sets of screenshots, box scans, and cartscans for the various console emulators? I am especially looking for NES, SNES, SEGA Genesis, and Atari 2600. I know http://www.localarcade.com/screenshotarchive/screenshots.htm has a lot of them, but these are not complete sets.

I was trying to clean up my frontend, and would like to try and find the missing artwork, so I thought I would check and see if anyone on the board has obtained complete artwork sets (screenshots, box scans, and cart scans), and is willing to share them. If not, does anyone know of any other website, other than screenshotarchive, where I might be able to download a whole set of artwork?

Thanks in advance for any help.

http://xbox.nugnugnug.com

They're xbox specific (xbox has a file limit of 42 characters) but there are renaming tools on the site that should help you get the collections restored back to full filenames if you need them.

Post by: ratabase1 on August 06, 2006, 07:02:20 pm: I am currently working on the artwork for the Sega Genesis. I have already visited the genesiscollective.com, the xbox.nugnugnug.com, and the localarcade.com/screenshotarchive/ websites and found a lot of the artwork there, but I'm having trouble finding the remaining artwork. Does anyone know of any other good websites that I may find the artwork I'm missing?

Some of the artwork I'm still missing is:
Bimini Run (Full Box Scan), Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt (Full Box Scan), Back to the Future 3 (full Box Scan), Barbie Super Model (Full Box Scan), Barbie Vacation Adventure (Full Box Scan and Cart Scan), Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel (Full Box Scan), and a lot of the Japanese and foreign versions of games.

Any help locating these would greatly be appeciated.

Thanks.
