Official MESS Artwork Project page update

Okay, guys and girls: I decided to take AnnaWu's advice and mix together the "SVN" and "non-SVN" artwork (since NONE are handled in the SVN these days...), add everything since the page went down in 2012, etc.
Here's the page: http://www.mess.org/artwork
I added everything I could find from the MESS forums, MAMEWorld, AntoPISA's ProgettoSnaps/MESS, and Robbbert's MESSUI.
Unlike Robbbert, I decided on "split artwork" rather than "merged artwork". CLRMame or other ROM management tools may be able to merge them for you if you'd rather save HDD space, once a DAT file and maybe INI file is created. In many cases this meant I could use AntoPISA's files for this purpose (thanks!)
Here's what I still need for the artwork page, in order of priority: 1. Screenshots of all the artwork without screenshots (including those lost without backup in the 2012 server crash) 2. Fresh screenshots of all the artwork that already has screenshots. (Maybe?) 3. Testing of all the "clickable artwork" to make sure they're all still working, in both windowed and full-screen modes. 4. NEW artwork files to replace lower quality files or to create artwork for drivers that do not currently have any artwork (such as finishing the work in this thread: http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=302586) 5. Locating "older artworks" mentioned on archived pages in The Internet Archive. Mind you, we have replacements for all of these (except kc85.zip). avigo.zip - 317.13 KiB (Not Clickable) glasgow.zip - 416.13 KiB (Clickable) hp48g.zip - 669.95 KiB (Clickable) hp48gx.zip - 575.42 KiB (Clickable) hp48sx.zip - 307.97 KiB (Clickable) kc85.zip mk2.zip - 120.28 KiB (Clickable) mpf1.zip - 519.02 KiB (Clickable) ngp.zip - 112.63 KiB (Not Clickable) pc1401.zip - 107.21 KiB (Not Clickable) pc1402.zip - 106.12 KiB (Not Clickable) pc1403.zip - 147.09 KiB (Not Clickable) ssystem3.zip - 138.86 KiB (Not Clickable)
Hope you all can help, but I'm not planning on becoming admin of the page. (This sure took a while...)
Please let me know if there are any other issues with the page.

> Guess my stuff didn't make the cut. :P
Sorry, you mean this? http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=artwork&Number=302979
The one thread I missed, helpfully titled "MESS Artwork". D'oh! I'll see what I can do later today.
[EDIT] FWIW, I do not have access to the MAME Artwork FTP nor do I desire it. Nobody wants me to be in charge of making aesthetic decisions, believe me. Also, at first glance, your stuff also looks like it may require some LAY file magic that Mr. Do is better suited for...

I'm hoping Mr.Do! take over the hosting the MESS artworks. The reason why is the artworks get updated and added there. No need to spread out all over the hosting places when those get added there.

For people good with LAY files, scan cleanup, etc., here's a few old scans and things that aren't doing much good where they are. Courtesy MESSDEV FTP. If there's anything usable, feel free. Contains the original scans of avigo and a few of the HP48* calcs IIRC. http://www.mediafire.com/?awrgm0f8vqof0cs

You're just gonna suck me in, aren't ya? :-D
Let me get some more arcade stuff done first, then I'll give these a go. (And Vectrex, and some other stuff, too).

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

You want to become maintainer of the collection, please, be my guest. It's not really my thing... http://mess.org/artwork

Closedown of MESSUI artwork page

With this new page on the MESS Wiki, there is no more need to host artwork on my site. The artwork link on my home page now points to the wiki, and the files themselves will be removed in a few days. It makes no sense to have different versions scattered all over the place, so this will help keep things clean.
