Great to hear, thanks! Glad only one is missing so far. Still need to go through more categories.

It would pay to ask if you see something missing. Part of the site migration was rationalizing our file base. I have been mulling whether to allow 3rd party scans for some time for example.

Gamest scans originally came from the now defunct Underground-Gamer website ... damn, I miss that site ... so it seems like making files from there available is okay given we aren't treading on their toes so to speak, where as making files from sites like Retromags available is even though Phillyman has no qualms about their files appearing anywhere even Internet Archive.

It was always an issue previously when it came to storage space with our files getting on towards 3TB in size but the seedbox has double that so space constraints are no longer an issue for the foreseeable future. I am just working through those sorts of decisions at the present time along with trying to get all our new files added to the site.

One major thing I've been noticing so far is there being loads of Computer and Video Games (CVG) missing. If you've lost those I can provide them however is it right to say these are part of the third party files you're talking about?

As for taking new scans I'm currently in the middle of scanning another GamesMaster Presents so will get back to that. I sent you all the others I've done.

CVG files were submitted by gladiator a while ago.

They really need editing to remove the spines which were duplicated across both facing pages which means extracting the pages, editing, then recompiling them into CBR format. I simply haven't had time to do that, what with all the new submissions in the last year or so.

It's on my long todo list along with scanning all of my early issues of this title.

Still going through so please bear with me. One thing I've come across is not being able to download Hyper Issue 191 onwards. An error message pops up saying 'no file'.

[Kiwi]

Not sure what part of this comment in the description field for those issues that you do not understand?

"Description: This magazine has been archived and is NOT available for download at this time."

I did not receive any email about the migration or new site login details, but luckily i noticed the topic on the old site and the new site let me reset my password anyway.

Hey Kiwi,

Site is looking good! Definitely an improvement on the old one, downloads are much easier, and I prefer these forums.

Just noticed a couple of little niggles (not game breakers by any means) - just wondered if you wanted them posted here or if you wanted a dedicated thread, or somewhere else entirely.

Keep up the good work!

Dan

Feel free to make a separate thread for issues. kitsunebi has mentioned one or two in an email so it will be interesting to see if yours are the same.

Still going through the website when I have the time. Do you need any of these or do you already have them to be uploaded:

-   Australian PlayStation (1997-08) 04 (Next)
-   EDGE.FILE.Volume.1
-   Edge-Equip-PC
-   Edge-Special Edition-01-1996-Essential-Hardware
-   GamePro-Presents-Handheld-Video-Games-Winter-1999

[Kiwi]

I have them all I believe. Australian PlayStation (1997-08) 04 (Next) is already up under Australian Station
