hi-res poster scans

JigsawMan · Post by **JigsawMan** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 11:01 am

EDIT: I've just upped a slew of shmup wallpapers to the wallpapers directory.

Does anyone have any ultra-hires scans of Cave arcade posters they could send my way? I can provide some ftp space if needed and don;t mind hosting them for a while for others to grab. PM me if you can help.

I'd also be looking for a poster printing service in the UK, so if anyone knows where to look that would be great too. thought I may try http://www.posterxxl.com/ first...

edit: (adding in ftp details)
ftp.scoreattack.com port 2121
user scoreattack
pass scoreattack

FlashFXP is a great client if you don't have one already. FTP is capped to 2Mb/s between 9am and 6pm (GMT) and 5Mb/s at all other times. 10 users max. TURN ON PASSIVE (PASV) MODE IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE CONNECTING.

There was someone on the board here who posted some high resolution cleaned up Mushi and Ibara flyers suitable for poster printing. I have the 3 of them I can FTP to you. And of course there are lots of high res scans on The Sheep's website, but may need some touching up for poster size printing.

Found the thread here, with an example of the mushi flyer printed as a HUGE poster...looks fantastic.

It would be nice if someone could post 3 ultra hi-res flyers again. The links in the old thread seem to be broken.

Thanks!

I'll give Dave_K the details of my FTP tomorrow and I'll host them for as long as possible. 4Mb upload so it'll be quick(ish) if they are large files.

I'm looking for something to put on the walls in my den at home, and I'd really like to come up with some sort of Raiden themed poster (since half my PCB collection seems to be Raiden stuff for some reason...) If anyone has hi-res Raiden or Raiden Fighters flyer scans I'd be interested in those...

ArrogantBastard · Post by **ArrogantBastard** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 10:13 pm

I'd like to have posters so I can decorate the walls with it.

I wonder if there's a high-res scan of Radiant Silvergun?

No way anyone is going to be able to do this at home, the posters are so fucking big.

I think everyone here is using a poster printing service (as also mentioned in the linked thread above).

I meant for scans actually, but you are right.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 2:40 am

The only way to do this is to fold up the poster and scan it in one at a time, and then be really good at PHotoshop. Good luck, and cheers to whomever pulls it off.

Of course there are high res scans on The Sheep's website. By the way...what is the url for The Sheep's website?

I'm interested in obtaining some of these high res pics too. Don't have a clue about FTP, whatever that is. This is like a secret society or something.

The sheep's website has Cave, Raizing/8ing, and Psikyo tributes sections with scans of flyers and instruction manuals.

As for FTP, Google "FTP client" and learn about the wonderful world of the Internet.

OK, ftp details are:

62.254.247.252 port 2121
user scoreattack
pass scoreattack

please upload any hi-res scans you have there and feel free to leech whatever others have uploaded. At present there is just 1 small jpg there that was uploaded to test the connection.

thanks!

Post by **Dave_K.** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 4:20 pm

Server down? Its un-pingable.

ArrogantBastard · Post by **ArrogantBastard** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 4:57 pm

I got in just fine a while ago?

Post by **Dave_K.** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 5:56 pm

Must have been my cygwin command line client, as I just tried FlashFXP and it worked. Just finished uploading the following:

ibara-pcbflyer_fs.jpg - 12.10M
ibara-rsflyer_fs.jpg - 11.92M
mushi-flyer.jpg - 7.64M

ArrogantBastard · Post by **ArrogantBastard** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 6:25 pm

Downloaded the ones you uploaded, Dave_K.; but I forgot to mention that I had already uploaded the Mushihimesama one, but yours looks much cleaner than the one I found.

JigsawMan · Post by **JigsawMan** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 6:33 pm

thanks guys. keep the hi-res scans coming. I'll keep the ftp up as long as possible. Probably until January.

Post by **Dave_K.** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 6:53 pm

Well, might as well start uploading scans I got from The Sheep's website. I know he doesn't like leechers on his site, so maybe this is an opportunity for everyone here to grab it all in one shot. I know these are not posters, but some are high res enough to be printed as nice looking posters.

Uploaded the Ketsui scans (thanks to the real donators zlk, Fuchikoma-x & EightOne).

Ketsui_CabinetSticker.jpg - 670K
Ketsui_InstructionCard.JPG - 5.22M
Ketsui_InstructionSticker.jpg - 2.33M
Ketsui_Marquee.jpg - 17.64M

I'll upload more after work today.

TalkingOctopus · Post by **TalkingOctopus** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 9:59 pm

Thanks guys. I can host the files if you need to take the ftp server down. However, I cannot allow public uploading to my webspace.

thanks for the pictures;)

Fastest download speeds ever?

Thanks for the artwork, gang!

ArrogantBastard · Post by **ArrogantBastard** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:06 am

I didn't know Dave_K. was going to upload The Sheep's promotional / flyer / instruction scans, because I'm currently uploading them right now.

Sorry, dude.

Go for it, I'll can't upload anything else until I get home anyway. I'll look through and upload anything you don't have.

ArrogantBastard · Post by **ArrogantBastard** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:15 am

I'm currently uploading the Cave ones, so if you want to go with Psikyo or Raizing / 8ing scans... Feel free to do so.

Edit: I hope The Sheep doesn't ban my IP from his site for taking the scans, but if he does, well... I had it coming. Apology in advance, The Sheep.

Post by **Dave_K.** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:23 am

I think as long as you aren't using leeching tools you are ok. You can't download more than 2 things at a time anyway. I don't have all the scans either, but a few...I was going to see what you uploaded first before going back to the Sheep myself.

ArrogantBastard · Post by **ArrogantBastard** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:52 am

***I will be editing this post as I go when the files are uploaded so you guys know what is uploaded.***

Ah, that's good to hear since I downloaded them manually. The uploading part takes forever because of its massive file sizes.

So far I've uploaded:

(***: I uploaded this one since I cropped out the original one to show the picture, but I included this original file in case anyone wants the entire scan. And also, the FTP doesn't allow me to overwrite a file, too.)

Edit: Fuck, I didn't realize you already uploaded the Ketsui ones... (Ketsui_CabinetSticker.jpg - 670K; Ketsui_InstructionCard.JPG - 5.22M; Ketsui_InstructionSticker.jpg - 2.33M; and Ketsui_Marquee.jpg - 17.64M)

Edit #2: That's pretty much all of the Cave scans I've uploaded. Whew, that was a work. Dave_K., shall I go ahead and try to get some Raizing / 8ing or Psikyo scans, too; or do you want to do it?

Valgar · Post by **Valgar** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:52 am

I got the Progear scans from his site, and printed them off on Glossy photo paper via my hp color printer. They look fucking fantastic. You guys should give it a try if you want to hang up stuff and not pay for kits. I put it on my cabinets. I mean, that is what they are for ~_~.
