8-Bit eBooks - Back online!! - Page 16

froglet · 10-12-2008, 11:07 AM

Hi, I've been a bit of a lurker around here for a while, so I finally figured it was time to sign up.

I've made an archive of episodes 601-700, all resized so they look nice on the PSP. Has anybody else done this? If not, I'm more than happy to redistribute it to anybody that wants it. My main problem is that all but one or two of them are as PNGs, meaning that they take a while longer to load on the PSP - and they're considerably bigger than the other files of "8-bit Theatre: PSP edition" that I have on my PSP. I don't really have much of a problem with this, but others who'd want to download it over the internet probably would, seeing as that it doesn't compress very well, thus it's pretty big, especially seeing as that it's only 100 pictures.

Is there anybody who knows a way to change the files to jpegs en masse? A friend of mine wrote a script for me so that I can resize several pictures at once, however it's a bit beyond my ability to change them all to jpegs... except manually, which I'd rather not go through. :-/

Once I've figured out a way to convert all the images to JPEG and found an appropriate host (or found somebody who will host this on my behalf, as I'm not exactly the most competent of people to go about this), I'll post a link... or something...

(Sorry if this is a bit of a 'newbie' post :-P )

Oh wow. For the past week or so I have been rereading through all the 8-bit comics and have been downloading them all as I was reading them. After a couple hundred I decided to actually look to see if anyone had already done it (Yeah I shoulda known >_>) and thank you to everyone who helped put together this collection. I was getting so sick of saving and renaming each and every one instead of just enjoying reading them.

:bmage::rmage::wmage::fighter::thief::bbelt:4L

EDIT: One thing I noticed when I was downloading all the comics was the Episode 67 was actually posted as 2 pictures instead of one on the site. And as I was going through this archive I noticed it was like that aswell, only the first part was saved and not the other. So I when into photoshop and put it together real quick so anyone else can also have the full page instead of only part of it.

Hope that helps.

I've set up another mirror. Can't have too many right? Right-click, and click "Save target as."

Volume 1 (0001-0100)
Volume 2 (0101-0200)
Volume 3 (0201-0300)
Volume 4 (0301-0400)
Volume 5 (0401-0500)
Volume 6 (0501-0600)
Volume 7 (0601-0700)
Volume 8 (0701-0800)
Volume 9 (0801-0900)

If any of the above links don't work, send me an e-mail at SlickStretch2.0@gmail.com and I'll fix it.

hey i click on the link and it says files not found The requested URL was not found on this server.

I was not able to find a working mirror for the .rar versions

Would somebody please be so kind to point me to one, if there is one? I'd even offer to mirror the files.

I regret to announce that, due to circumstances beyond my control, my mirror of the 8-Bit eBooks is no longer online. This is a temporary situation. As soon as I have a place to put my server, and a functioning Internet connection attached to it, the mirror will be back. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey guys I can't find any working RAR mirrors, though I do have a copy of the PDF files. If you wish to have a working RAR mirror, I do have webspace available cheap, with unlimited bandwidth.

Flay Crimsonwind · 06-28-2008, 09:27 PM

Just wondering, has a file for 900 - 1000 been made?

Tomato · 08-31-2008, 01:45 PM

I've got one I was putting together, but I don't have acrobat at the moment so I can't finish it up. If anyone wants to finish it though, I'll send it along.
