dark13 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm making a pc engine/turbografx cart set to upgrade the actual supergrafx set i uploaded HERE but I need hi-res scans of hu-cards in uncompressed format (.png/.psd/.tif). The set is actually a renders and uses 640*553 textures for game image (the cartridges is full 3d), more than it should be mandatory for good quality but hi-res simplify digital noise/paper grain cleaning on the source image. Can someone provide or link good quality scans?I found some sources but almost all pictures are low-res and afflicted by jpg awful compression. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjalo Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I don't have any hi-res scans, but I did make a HuCard set for HyperSpin, it's on their FTP in my upload folder. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much HuCard art floating around, I ended up taking a nice card scan, vector traced it, then used the box art for the set, which is unfortunate, since most HuCards didn't have the same art as the boxes, but I figured it was better than nothing If you don't have access to the HS FTP, just PM me and I can upload them to MediaFire or something if you want them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark13 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 The ones used in supergrafx wheel was taken from pcengine.co.uk , there are many cart scan buts there's not a full romset and generally the jpeg compression is a great issue even with good-res scans -.- Me too was thinking about using boxart... the upside is some US hucards have awful look (matte color with game logo), the downside is... well, I's not "real" hucard art Well, I don't think it will be so "terrible", hardcore fans will already be pissed off by cartridges position: pc engine/turbograx carts have upside-down art respect to supergrafx one's (front loading system vs back loading system) and i want to match the look of my previous set, aesthetically it is a better solution In some case the differences bettween carts and boxarts is merely about producer's logo and hucard logo but... well, making a .swf/.png takes less than 10 minutes, spending 20-30 minutes per image to add "details" only purists will notice is not a viable idea Will try to get scans from "fanboy" sites , in worst case scenario I will use boxart Thank you for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
