Total Replay is a launcher for Apple II games that includes the ability to dislay a super high resolution (SHR) image of the box art for each game. After searching for a game title, the user can press space bar to see the graphics for that title. Apple IIgs machines or Apple IIe machines with a VidHD will display the SHR image first. There are lots of titles that do not currently have SHR image of the box art.

The Current List tab contains the list of games with no SHR art. The purpose of this list is to track what titles are missing, to collect information on how the title was packaged, to record a volunteer's name against a title to prevent doubling up on effort, capture a way for the TR team to contact that volunteer, to capture that the resource has been created in the TR repository (Tick mark), and to capture the permissions that the art can be used for.

The first step is to identify someone who has the original game package (preferably in good condition and without shrinkwrap). The request is that this be scanned in high resolution and provided to the team. The next step is that the image is passed onto an artist who will touch up the scan if necessary, crop the image for the SHR resolution and convert to the SHR image. The converted image is added to the repository and is compressed during the build process to take as little space on disk as possible. The team can manage this process after the scan is received.

If you have an original package of a title that is missing, please scan the front cover in color with minimum resolution of 300dpi. Preferably 600dpi. TIFF or PNG format. Please not JPEG as it can introduce artifacts. If you do not have the ability to scan the package, please get in touch and we may be able to find someone in your area who can help with this. Please upload your scans to a folder on your cloud drive (e.g. Google Drive) and provide the share URL via email with your permissions. See below.

By submitting your scan you give your permission to use the scan for the Total Replay project. Attribution in the executable is at the discretion of 4am. Acknowledgement will be provided in the changelog.

Box scans are also needed for Ian Brumby's Apple IIgs emulator 'Crossrunner' which is in development. Please provide your permission "CR" with your submission.

Some box scans are also needed on MobyGames.com and archive.org - the request for these sites is scans of the complete package including sides, back, manual, media and inserts. If you are willing for your scans to be made available there and don't want to do it yourself, I can facilitate this. Please provide your permission "All" with your submission.

Thank you very much for your contribution. Seeing the cover art in Total Replay is a great way for many of us to appreciate the original artwork.
