Rick Dangerous Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks for posting. I've always said the Jaguar is a pretty trippy console... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Your welcome.Parts of it have been quoted in Jaguar articles elsewhere before, but thought i'd put it up for all to see. Did have 2 more (Jeff talking about NUON and Jeff Talking about UNITY) but decided not to proceed forwarding more scans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterG Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Why not? The more scans the better:) or did you have pity with high voltage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 File Sizes are simply far too big to make it worth doing any more. Each of the interview pages are nearly 1 MB in a lot of cases, some of the featured articles i wanted to put up are in cases 16 MB per page. No idea what resolution they were scanned in at. :-) And yes, i do feel 'bad' about using High Voltage, sure he's got far better things to do with his time.

high voltage Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 I don't mind doing it, but I prefer smaller files. But if you think 16MB needs to be, so be it, as long as not every file is of that measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Well, put it this way: A C+VG Jaguar feature i wanted to include came in at 3X 16 MB files, 2X 14 MB Files and 1X 17 MB file, so that was out. I did plan to put forward: (another) ATD interview with ST Super Sprint and Jaguar CD Battlemorph talked about, misc news reports on Beyond Games negotiations for AVP II, Darryl Still talking about AVP II using VR Headset, Argonaught converting Creature Shock (Virgin were just to publish it), a big interview with I.D based on their Jaguar work and Sean Patten talking about Iron Solider...... Really not sure i'll bother to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, thanks for what you and highvoltage have uploaded so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterG Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Well we could try to make those files smaller,don't know if it will look good but until now I enjoyed your contribution very much.would be a bummer to stop it now when all the scanning is already done.sounds like you have lots of interesting stuff there. I don't know if time will allow it the next few days but I would be willing and try to reduce file sizes.you could send the big scans via wetransfer vor dropbox or whatever and I can give it a try. Let me know if you are interested. I had a similar idea once but realized that german articles wouldn't do so much good for most Btw that articles you just listed,sound great.

high voltage Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I'd find it sad if it would stop too though, maybe we can compromise...... (Except from this Sunday to 5th of Nov or so, I'm in UK at that time, only with my iPhone) Edited October 16, 2014 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Well...... I've just forwarded you 3 more images. All 'News' articles. Think it was AVP 2 on Jag VR, AVP " talks ended with Beyond Games when Atari pulled out of Jaguar production and Jeff Minter talking about what he'd add extras wise if Defender 2000 was released on CD. It's taken over 10 mins just to process and send those via Gmail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I gave in and also forwarded the 2 pager on Iron Solider and the 2nd ATD interview of interest. Looked through the 3rd which was the 'middle' interview Edge did with them, only a few snippets of info worth having compared to the other 2.

NeoGeoNinja Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 So, just to surmise Lost Dragon: Are you scanning stuff in and then emailing over to High Voltage for file size manipulation? I thought you'd physically sent HV the mags to scan AND upload from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 I just upload the stuff, without doing any size manipulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Here's how it all went down: I had the magazines, plus various scrap book pages, but no scanner. I contacted a friend of mine, who i've had great dealings with in the past and said would it be possible to scan certain articles/news pages etc for me, transfer them onto memory stick so i can get them out to the community?. He said yep, that's fine, all i'll need is payment to cover postage there and back, plus my time. I boxed everything up-very heavy parcel (mags, cheque, memory card etc) sent it all off, waited few weeks till it came back, now been forwarding images from the memory stick to High Voltage, who's kindly put them up on here. So, basically when i get comments that i've not taken 5 mins to proof read interviews :-), i'm sat here thinking of the sheer time involved already, plus money, just sending the images..... and wondering at times if it's worth the bother. I would of liked to put the entire articles up, but some files are, as i've said simply massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
