Before I head out I just wanted to drop a quick word that I have just posted the SNES Carts and Boxes sets up over at emumovies.com (http://emumovies.com)
This set was ALOT of work but I feel pretty good about it. I started with the set from the screenshot archive, which has about 170 scans. Over the last month I have scoured the internet and after much hunting and cropping, I give you 705 cartridge scans and 722 box scans!
All files are in the no-intro format.

I have the opposite problem.

I threw them up in a hurry, so I will go in right now and see what's up with the links.

Links are fixed, I forgot I changed the filename from cart snaps to cart scans and did not adjust the hyperlink.

Circo,
Any plans to offer snaps for SNES? Every set I run across has a ton that don't match the rom name.

Circo,
Two thoughts. First, did you offer to submit these to the No-Intro Screenshot Archive group for distribution with their sets? Second, did you ask any sort of permission to distribute an image set using their naming convention? Just a couple of thoughts, obviously I respenct your effort and greatly appreciate all you do.
Keep up the good work,
John

I am almost done with the snaps and titles, I am just going through them and making sure that all of the pics are correctly cropped. Should be done in a week or so.

I have tried to contact the no intro group a few times to see if they would be interested in the sets that I am doing but have never recieved a response back. I never considered asking permission about using their naming convention, so no I never did. I have recieved many messages about the naming conventions of my sets and it seems as if the Goodxxxx naming convention is pretty much on the way out.
So I finally decided to use the No-Intro standard on everything possible going forward because that seems to be the most popular. My updated video sets will also be using that naming convention so that everything matches up and works without issue in a FE. I guess I should ask if this is going to be a problem before I go any further, if the no intro guys are really picky about anyone using their naming convention then I will not support it and go back to Goodxxxx naming.
One last point while the No-Intro screenshot archive is a good resource, their download system is not condusive for what we are doing with these files. My whole thought process here is an abilty to easily aquire the most complete and easy to use sets for use in a Front End. With no set up, adjustments, or anything like that. You should be able to take my packs with a matching rom set and it works in seconds. The no intro screenshot sets are not even named correctly when you download them, just a bunch of numbers in the filename. I am talking with Moby Games about my videos, as a partnership could help me to increase traffic to my site, but that is still a ways off.
So the question is: Use No-Intro for all releases going forward or use Cowering's Good Sets. Feedback???
Oh and good to see you around again John, it's been awhile :)
-
Well No-Intro does seem to be the future naming convention. So in my opinion you should stick with that. I'm suprised you haven't been able to contact them. You are talking about tha No-Intro Screenshot Archive right?
-
Yeah, it's been about 5 or six months since I last tried, back when I was having website woes. Of course since then I just spent some good old fashion cash and got everything up and running the right way. But the website pays for itself now and all is well, I never would have been able to host these files before so that's why I was looking for a place to put them.
-
Im with you about the files names as jumbled numbers... never understood how to rename/use them ... couldnt find any info on their site if I remember correctly... I like the way you do your files. Keep up the good work!

I just got the Snaps, Titles and Manuals posted so there is now a pretty much complete set. Expect a new SNES video set soon, I still have 200 videos to fix or replace but so far the new set is coming along very nicely and you should notice a Drastic improvement over the original set.
The manual set is 191 games and is already 619MB but I have it posted as a direct download. If anyone can help fill in some of the blanks on this manual set please email or pm me.

As i already told you, we never got a single email from you. I personally reply to every single email we receive.
Also, as i already told you (again)... you are using all our screenshot packs, offering downloads and you are taking credit for it without even linking back to us, without mentioning where you got the snaps from and, which is worse, without asking for permission.
Hope you don't mind if we offer free direct downloads of your video packs in exchange.
