Hey,
I have Lazarus, but the thing is with Consoles you have to save the images in PNG and make them all the same name so it is tonnes of work! All the Sega Genesis pics of boxes, screen shots, and carts can be found here.

Hey demon thanks alot this is really going to help. By the way i just downloaded there offline version it does not seem to be a zip with the pictures do you still have to select each game 1 by one then save them?  how did you do it? because i go to right click a picture it says copy or properties then if i copy it wont let me paste it hmmm any ideas?

Hey,
I have like all those roms, and I too dl the offline but no snaps. I contacted the webmaster to see if he could send it to me but no reply yet. I have been doing it 1 at a time!! i take the cart/box/snap for Lazarus.. its a lot of work..takes hours... i had to do the same for about 500 NES games!

Demon if you do wish to share these I can probably arrange a hosting of the files.

Also I can probably rig a crc checker to rename them for you (if your roms aren't labeled correctly) but only if I get some spare time.

Hey Guys,
Clarfication here..... from both of us.... I got the NES done
have the carts, screens, and most flyers of some sort.

Genesis.. I am working on it but only at like C.

What are we talking about posting? the snaps? Roms? Just confused to what u guys mean.

Howard.. Correct nameing?

The way I did it, was rename the roms from the good tools way ie ) Super Off Road (E)[!].zip to just Supper Off Road.zip........ so that it looks good in the list.

Then I would download a snap, cabinet, and flyer of the game.... and rename them as Super Off Road.png.

It is lots of work..eehhe I wish there was an easier way but I have not been able to find one. The only problem is it will take me a very long time to do the Genesis ones... i worked at it for a couple hours and only made it to C. And dam My arms were going numb due to nerves..e eheh likely repetitive damage!! eheh and my eyes get sore from starring at the monitor...

not complaining, just wondered if anyone had a better way to do these?? Is it possible we could make a site or ftp with these so all could help out?

make like a custom way?

Cabinet= Game Cartridge or if none Game System Pic
Snap= In Game Screen
Flyer= Game FLyer or Title

All games do be NORMALIZED?? no gay symbols and shorcuts?
ie) NOT Super Mario Bros (French)(U)[!].zip
             Contra_2_Super.zip
             Blades of Steel (U)[a1][!].zip

BUT NORMAL IN GOOD OLD ENLGISH TO MAKE IT Easier and consistant?
       Super Mario Bros.zip
       Contra 2.zip
        Blades of Steel.zip

Ok I have rambled on...just some ideas. I do not mind posting what I do have but if we all pitch in we could do a great job and quickly!

Doh! Then this means you screwed up what little naming convention the roms had.  Those (U), (Eupropean), ect were there to keep different revisions in place (like capcom does with 'japan 198093' ect...) and thus any artwork you found would have to be renamed for the masses.  The [!] has a purpose too, although I can't remember it off hand.  

Just for future reference, when you are making a aw compilation never rename the roms, rename the aw.

Hey
its not a big deal i got backups of them all, its just that on my laz it looked bad with the naming the way it was.

[Howard_Casto]

Btw... it's not a big deal to batch convert at all... get a copy of irfanview and do a batch conversion to png.

Update  As of now DxLaz supports jpg files.  I just added the code.

Proposition for you all:
So far I have almost completed #-G from genesiscollection.com. what i did was make dirs

SNAPS
TITLE
FLYERS
CABINETS

and saved  each pick like so in order:
1. Gods (CLF).jpg (THIS IS THE GENESIS CART)

saved it to FLYERS as Gods.jpg

2. Gods (BS).jpg (THIS IS THE BOX)

saved it to CABINETS as Gods.jpg

3. Gods (SS).jpg (THIS IS THE TITLE SCREEN)

saved it to TITLE as Gods.jpg

4. Gods (GS).jpg (THIS IS GAME SCREEN SHOT)

saved it to SNAPS as Gods.jpg


AS YOU can see all picks are in just ordinary text and I removed the (BS) (GS) (SS) from the name of the rom and saved it in the folders so it will work in Lazarus perfect. I saved them as JPG and then just get a prog to make it PNG. What I am wondering is if everyone interested could get on here and each do a few letters so I do not have to do them all? it is a lot of work for me, and if many ppl help we could be done fast. I would be more than happy to let u use my server and I could make one zip to give to each person? What do u think? this is a good idea I think and would benefit us all. Inetested?? if so leave msg here as to what letters u will do.. more the marry as i am tired of it! like i said i have done # - G so far. I have a few to grab but I will have them done.
