Title: Amiga cover-scans on my Xbox?
Post by: Dannermax on March 10, 2009, 09:36:37 AM

Hey guys. Dunno if its the right forum to post this, but i couldent find a better match.

I was wondering, as to where i could find coverscans of as many as possible Amiga games? I know what Abime.net have some, but im thinking about a place where i could possibly download them all at once?..preferrebly from an ftp?

I need them for my modded X-box, and thought it would give a nice feel to it, with a screensaver showing blowups of random amiga cover scans.
By the way, im running XBMC on my X-box, and play my Amiga games with the Winuaex emulator..its almost as good as the real thing!! :)

Thanks guys!

Try the boxscans from Gamebase Amiga, there are a lot in there.

You can grab them here:

Hi there!

I recall some ppl doing boxscans and converted them into
Amiga icons, but that wouldn't be very handy for you I'd imagine.
These links may however help you out in finding some
particular boxcovers.

Well, im glad you ask.

I have a modded Xbox (The old model). in it, i have mounted a 750gb hdd, so i can put just about any kind of files on it. I've also installed XBMC (Xbox Media Center) on it, and it works like the easiest operation system in the world.

From here i just installed the Winuaex emulator for Xbox, and copied a but-load of roms to the hdd.

From here, it's just "game-on".

And now, when my Xbox has been inactive for approximately 5 minutes, it starts showing random Amiga cover scans... how sweet is that!! :)

If you need some more info, just ask!

Oh by the way, check out this skin in using atm:

But for me it's browsing through alot of adf's with the standard winuaex
I just hoped you've had gamebase Amiga running on the xbox, or something like that.

For some really good coverscans of Amiga games, very good resource is Exotica (http://old.exotica.org.uk/gallery/games/index.html). This is link to the old site, the new site for some reason gives me bad gateway error. But on the old the high quality scans are there.

EXOTiCA!

That was the one I forgot...
I've only used them for music as of late.
But those were (I believe) the people who made NewIcons
out of those boxscans.

Thanks DrHirudo

Ahh..now i know what you mean, when you refer to the gamebase. No this sort of app does not exist for the Xbox..at least i think. I'd wish it did thou. None of the games in Winuaex comes with a pre setup, so i have to use alot of time to figure out what WB goes to that game..!
I´t a really bother.

Oh well..
