Re: Official UK PlayStation Magazine - 1 broken link & 1 missing issue
Nothing is happening here as I am in the process of migrating everything to the new download site. Once that has happened anything missing should be fixed etc. Not long now ....ed209 13/11/2022, 2 years ago
Re: Official UK PlayStation Magazine - 1 broken link & 1 missing issue
Hi Kiwi, #60 has a non-working link here:

Also I noticed #95 is the only issue not present, is the entry for it missing or has it not been scanned yet?slider1983 13/11/2022, 2 years ago

What would be really cool would be a torrent tracker, it would give people incentive to help with the bandwidth by seeding in order to download more (or even better by contributing their own scans). Also donating to get GBs of ratio is also a thing on trackers which could help with scanning costs. Just an Idea :)[/quote]Torrents is more trouble than it's worth, especially if it's not a popular magazine someone needs to download.Responded in New Releases 10/2022

Does that mean the PC Format magazines here are missing supplements?Responded in GameMaker Magazine/Supplements (PC Format)

It's been a while since I'd scanned a Dengeki PlayStation. Why does it seem like so many of these things have Gundam on the cover LOL?

Re: New Releases 10/2022
Great! Looking forward to use the new forum! Maybe we could try again to cheer it up with more topics, more conversation... I don't know, "guess the game", "what game are you wasting your time on", "tell us about your Romanian films preservation project", etc.Responded in New Releases 10/2022

Re: New Releases 10/2022
At this stage it would be HTTP links as torrents are rarely seeded unless incentives are made for ratio's and suchlike and we have nothing here that would provide such an incentive and also because I just know someone will invariably give out our torrent link and then it will end up a free for all which I have already experienced when the site was open way back in the WordPress days where I had hundreds of thousands of downloads on our files and no incentive to donate or sign up.
Additionally, with Archive.org getting DMCA's on mags from Future etc I prefer to keep a low profile, which has definitely happened since it became a membership oriented site.Responded in New Releases 10/2022

Re: GameMaker Magazine/Supplements (PC Format)
Despite having eBay saved searches for a couple of years I can't seem to find anyone with one of my favourite magazines of all time: GameMaker.
It was originally a one-off magazine published by Future and featured game development and modding tutorials.
It didn't seem to be popular enough to become its own magazine but instead PC Format announced it would include a GameMaker section from issue 159. This was a 16-page section dedicated to the same topics and included inside PC Format itself. Issue 160 was the same and we have scans of both of these here on OGM!
However as of issue 161 GameMaker was a seperate supplement (not sure how many pages it was) and this lasted until issue 164.
Sadly in issue 165 it was replaced by a Doom 3 supplement with a notice that they had retired the GameMaker section completely.
We already have scans of PC Format 159 and 160 which is awesome. But does anyone have the 4 GameMaker supplement magazines from issue 161-164 or even the original magazine?Responded in GameMaker Magazine/Supplements (PC Format)

Re: New Releases 10/2022
Hey, Sorry been away for a while. Are you planning to directly linking to each file as an http link? or will you be creating torrents/magnets for each link? The benefit of using the torrent approach would be sharing the bandwidth with other seeders/leechers. Not to mention that the mre seeders the faster the downloads are. Also if the site ever went down then people can still download the files as long as they have the magnet links.
I have a seedbed with about 1tb so I could help with seeding some content.

Re: New Releases 10/2022
Over 1.1TB of magazines have now been uploaded to seedbox and 3100 of these have already been added to the new forums download area. Still on track for hopefully having the migration completed in a couple of weeks and then everyone's accounts will be migrated there and we can ditch Mediafire for good.Responded in New Releases 10/2022
