A Star Wars USB Drive - <em>Box, Case, Tape, Tin, Frame, Figure &amp; Cover</em> Thread...
Time

^ Cool project that mate - good luck with it 😃

 

I haven’t had much time to do any work on the video tapes as yet - but did pick up some hinges for the vhs tapes from a hardware store today, so hope to start something quite soon…
 

In the meanwhile, I did find these cool videos - which may be of interest for anyone with a spare SNES cart, and wants to convert one into an external USB hard drive:-

PAL carts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ackV3KfYNts (2.5" laptop drive)

US carts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttYmX-1I8RU (SSD)
 

or if you have the skills (and tools) then make your own stylish custom wooden box for a USB external hard drive - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtLkOcaUYb4
 

or buy a cheap transparent hard drive enclosure, like this one below:-

and then put your own custom cover in it to suit your own taste/preference 😃

THE ...sigh... THREAD!!!!!!!!!

Don’t sneak around like this. What is the point? It doesn’t reflect well on you - and life & time are far too short for childish antics like this.

Though don’t twist my words or selectively omit them (and then try and insert your own agenda) like you have done previously, either.

If you have something to say, then just say it - either out front - or feel free to PM me.

 

One of the other mods have locked this thread.

I’ll leave the last post in here with the best sigh I thought appeared in here:-

Star Wars: The Last Jedi | Training Featurette

Man that looks exciting.

DOES NOT!

Perhaps it would be an idea to give your views on the training featurette - or why you found it not to be exciting etc? Instead of just a ‘DOES NOT!’…

Don’t hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning.

😃

Indeed, why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Please do not respond with the ‘Crap!’ line from the film.
 

Seriously, I suggest you expand on some of your posts on subjects like this, instead of just posting ‘DOES NOT!’

*sigh*

It is time to stop with the ‘sigh’ only reply. We appreciate it is your custom thing - and you can still doing your signature ‘sigh’ - yet with an added explanation / reason / opinion etc as to why underneath.

It will likely help fellow members understand as to what you are pertaining to - without having to ask what you mean and then wait for a later explanation - or help avoid any potential misunderstandings in between.

Others have been asked to stop with the ‘hahahaha’ type posts of late for the above reasons - and also in a bid to help with the flow and quality of conversations - the same applies to everyone, including yourself.

I wish I did have a Golden cart! I still make do with the regular grey cartridge from time to time, just to keep my eye in.

Jeez… Egyptian was such a pain to unlock back in the day

I found a good start re the yellow guards down the 1st tunnel was key - and a lot of patience with the guards in the next room with the closing door. Then it was those pesky automated machine guns, getting up close with Jaws so he couldn’t shoot his M16s at you, and finally a little luck (half of everything is luck…) getting up the ladder at the end without being shot.

Happy days 😃

What if OT. com had a physical copy request Topic?
So people can ask some one to make them a copy and discuss reimbursement through PMs?

No.

I advise reading the rules of the site - also the fan edit / fan preservation rules for the site too, and Harmy’s request and statement here - https://www.facebook.com/despecialized/.

I don’t mind people buying harmys Despecialized Edition

I am not saying this is not good becuase it isn’t at all but I don’t mind if people buy it I own all the files on my pc, The only way to get the files are through jdownloader and torrents the files are really hard to get some people don’t want to spend all day downloading files when they can pay somebody to do it for them.

Yet, those files are not really hard to get at all. And people do not spend all day downloading files - the computer does that for them.

Many people on here and on other similar sites have managed this - not just for Despecialized, but for other Fan Edits too.

I am pretty sure, many, many people out there have also managed to download illegal torrents of films, tv, music etc - without paying for them on ebay - even back in the days of 4-5kb/ps download speeds.

‘Star Wars Death Star Assault… FLASH GORDON STYLE!!!’…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2zYBpI2Hk0

^ lots of Brian Blessed in there 😃

 

 

‘Rogue One: The Birth of Hope’…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpSb8Y_8hr8

The blurb : ‘This video essay examines how ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ symbolically bridges the tonal divide between ‘Revenge of the Sith’, and A New Hope. In doing so, I uncover the underlying archetypal ascension tale that drives the story towards the original saga.’
 

^ Thought it quite interesting and well worth a watch; some good insights and intriguing interpretations too.

I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I feel like these should be included:

Star Wars Laser Disc Audio Archive

schorman’s HDTV Star Wars Saga Preservation

Absolutely mate - my apologies for missing them out.

(It was bit of a haze at times compiling it - so there may be a few more quality edits, projects or worthy threads missing…)
 

If anyone has a project, edit or thread etc they would like added to this, then please post it below - thank you 😃

 


 

Harmy has put up a video on youtube - just to remind everyone that Fan Edits must never be bought or sold:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwKZHv4OS0 - a 4 minute video at the Harmy Despecialized youtuhe channel.

 

Personally, as a member here, I’d encourage everyone to watch it and upvote that video.

 


 

Our likely best hope of a professionally done and released restoration for a 4K theatrical version of the Original Trilogy probably lies here - with poita’s superb The Original Trilogy restored from 35mm prints ongoing project.

 

The 4KXX Original Trilogy project by the good people at thestarwarstrilogy.com are also well worth reading up on and following…

Some info & help for TN1’s 4K77, 4K80, and 4K83 projects of the Original Trilogy…

TheStarWarsTrilogy.com - and invite codes to it (read the actual thread before posting!)

A quick online search of ‘how to post pictures on originaltrilogy.com’ should do the trick mate 😃
