NoWaves | 5 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hi, I'm NoWaves, I'm 25 and I've been collecting games/consoles (mostly consoles if I'm being honest) since I was about 8. My main interests as of late have been digital preservation, mostly high quality scans and documenting game contents, etc, and the accessibility of this data. I would also say cartridge dumps, but that's probably the one thing that IS comprehensively archived, mirrored, and accessible. My current pet project is documenting what we have and don't have scanned and accessible, and archiving what does exist out there. End goal being having a centralized, albeit mirrored database where these scans/other data is made available. Right now I'm doing NES (scrubbing the internet for scans, taking note of what's missing/low quality), but I think I'm going to do a Virtual Boy library as sort of a proof of concept. I actually found this site on a search for boxart, and found you guys are doing incredible work here as far as documenting goes, and I'd love to be a part of it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Welcome! You've come to the right place if you're looking to document the obscure details and forgotten minutiae of old games. There are about ten competing databases being created by users of this site right now, so why not add another? Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireHazard51 | 2,043 Social Team · Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'll throw out this thread as it was recent and is relating to your goal, https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/11658-the-database-entry-1-abadox-the-deadly-inner-war/ But I'm liking your idea of starting with a smaller library as a proof of concept to iron things out before tackling bigger libraries. Hope you share your work here. I'm sure there are people who would like to help provide input or help you with data gathering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what got me searching the forums for similar efforts and got me to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
