Hello NA! Recently Paul asked a few members to assist with uploading and organizing the scans for the database. Paul stated that alot of members have expressed interest in helping to add scans for items that are missing from the database. I've enjoyed this website since day one, and I try to give back where I can, so I offered to help. I will be working with other members as well to update the database.

An email address has been set up so you can email your scans. We agreed that the process should be streamlined to save everyone time, so if you are going to email scans in please follow the instructions listed below.

EMAIL:  (removed)

Email Subject : Name of the Game you've scanned & your NA Username

SCANNING DETAILS/RULES
(originally written by MRN)
 
1. Organize your scans into files for each game, sub-folders for cart/manual/box scans.


 


2. Label the cart file "Cart".


 


3. Manual: "c" for the front and back cover, "1" for page 1&2, "2" for 3&4, and so on so that the pages are in order.


 


4. Box scans, label "Front", "Back", "Top", "Bottom", "Left", and "Right".


 


5. Crop your scans!


 


6. ** Use 150dpi jpg files. (larger than 150dpi will be omitted) **

7. If you are going to send multiple files, please place all files into ONE ZIP FILE and email me that SINGLE file.


 


8. PM me if you do not see the files in the database within 7 days.

So that's it, if you have any questions or concerns PM me. If you think that we can improve this process, please speak up! We'll listen! And finally... THANKS!

If anyone is LOOKING for certain repro/homebrews, I have a running repro company thread going as well as a lot of extras myself which include Limited Editions as well.  I'm also free to help answer questions and point people in the right direction so never hesitate to ask!  Here is the current list of repro companies.  Please let me know if I need to update it:

Not to hijack this thread, but if anyone has any scans for the SA db, I would be more than happy to upload them for you if you PM me. Same rules apply as the OP. I can't add games though. I'm just not that cool.

I guess you could also email them to me directly if that would be easier. I'm too lazy to set up an alt account soPM away for that info.

Thank you, thank you . I just realized I have a few more games and manuals to scan and send your way, but that's for another day. Also found a 3DS game that's not listed in the Database, which once it's put on I will have another game to scan also

Going through some new games I wanted to add to my list, I discovered a bunch that were missing from the database. Some of these  I can find while manually searching for them, but not when I'm trying to add them to a collection, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Title - Product Code - Publisher

WII:
Disney's Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two - RVL P SERE - Disney
Fortune Street - RVL P ST7E USZ - Nintendo
Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition - RVL R S72E USZ - Nintendo
NHL 2K11 - RVL P SH3E - 2K Sports
Pikimin 2 [Nintendo Selects] - RVL P R921 USZ - Nintendo
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - RVL P SB4E USZ - Nintendo

DS:
Pokemon Conquest - TWL-VPYT-USA - Nintendo
Pokemon White Version - TWL-IRAO-USA - Nintendo

3DS:
Disney's Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion - CTR P AECE USA - Disney

PSP:
Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection [PSP Essentials] - ULES 01521/E - Square Enix
Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time - ULUS 10593 - Atlus
Gungnir - ULUS 10592 - Atlus
The Legend of Heroes: Trail of Tears [Premium Edition] - ULUS 10578 - XSeed

PS3:
Assassin's Creed III - BLUS 30991 - Ubisoft
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland - BLUS 30941 - NIS
Journey: Collector's Edition - BCUS 98377 - That Game Company
FIFA Soccer 13 - BLUS 30998 - EA
Record of Agarest War Zero - BLUS 30686 - Aksys
Record of Agarest War Zero [Limited Edition] - BLUS 30748 - Aksys
Tales of Graces f - BLUS 30903 - Namco

Also, I'm not sure if this is a search failure on my part, but I'm not finding any Japanese NES/Famicom games in the database.


One one final question regarding scans, the first post says no more then 150dpi, but is there a size limit to the images?

I didn't forget either. I think I went overboard with the scans. It's taking forever to get them all cropped and such.

Out of the scans I have done so far, here are the two Pokemon games. It shows the number on the front. Maybe that's not the right number though.

My Epic Mickey 3DS is still sealed so I don't have a cart scan for that, but the code near the barcode is the one I wrote above.

^^ Ok, I'll have to touch base with Dain. I can't make adjustments to the selections from the maintenance screen. Unless I'm doing it wrong I didn't see TWL as an option for DS
