Next, I convert the pencil sketch into a digital image, but the Famicom’s BG data bank is limited to 128×128 pixels. When scanned with the digitizers available at the time, this is the best resolution achievable.
After this, I’ll refine the image and adapt it for the Famicom.

This one is very cool ✨

There was also a technique for game dev pixel artists in early to mid 80s Japan. Before digitizers, they drew character sprites on a piece of transparent film, then stuck it to the CRT display, and traced pixel positions in their graphics editors.

Today, I closed the loop on an archival mystery I've been chasing for three months.

Even when things are digitized, there is sometimes stuff in the folder that the digitizers did not photograph. I exchanged a dozen emails with an archivist who assured me it was all digitized.

And yet! It was not.

Amiga friends settle this for me, back in the day during the peak Psygnosis Amiga years, I swear I remember a quote somewhere that Psygnosis never used digitizers, and all art was hand drawn. Anyone able to corroborate this? Links would be great too!

@restedwicked.xyz can we have item digitizers in the pack so we could pass heads by reference

A bummer imo, artists liked the Surface. At least the one that had Wacom digitizers

I've spent time at the archive, around the digitizers, seen the process and even tried it myself, first hand.

I believe I even met Ms. Zhang, pictured.

The Archive does incredible work and truly must be fought for with all our might.

It is a force for humanity.
We've been getting a lot of questions about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.

The short answer: page by page, by hand.

You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/m...

Today in things I did not expect to exist, much less be _digitized_: the Maine State Library has correspondence with my grandfather: digitalmaine.com/cgi/viewcont... hell yes, archivists & digitizers! Also getting my ILL finger ready for the textbook he apparently wrote. 📚

Please, digitizers of old books. You MUST scan the blank pages!
Blank pages are Beautiful!

In a perfect tech world, all smartphones would have detachable/ slide out buttons for gaming/ productivity shortcuts, digitizers for advanced pens, antennas for radio & over-the-air TV, & accept optional physical media (games/ movies with DVD style menus, etc) in a micro SD card-style format

They want to know what to set their alarms to for monitoring their digitizers.

Excuse me, do you want me to RUN your teleport too???

you mean like when the mt gesture recognizer clearly fails (because every teardown shows they consistently source the cheapest 3rd-rate touch digitizers in the industry), which you literally witnessed happening in the actual promotional video OP posted? lol

i actually had a thinkpad tablet in ~2012 but i've been missing it for a decade... they don't make real laptops with wacom digitizers anymore and i'm so sad about it

It's just a bunch of people who are passionate abt saving music and trying to get 80+ yo discs to sound as good as possible. There's no governing body, there's no magic book that has all the info, it's a loose net connecting hundreds of digitizers and their empirically gained knowledge.

Yeah, I've been analyzing the iFixit guide and am going to get a screen and a few parts that I don't want to have to transfer off of the Injured Gadgets website. They have innards for cheap!

Ordered two new digitizer screens for two iPads. However I need a hot air blower to loosen the adhesive attaching the cracked digitizers.

im laughing so much at my fried iPad Pro, it should be studied, since the incident its been behaving so weird, i've erased all my content and i use it as a photo display only cause the screen digitizers are often acting weird, and my battery last 1 hour max wether the screen is ON or OFF

I’ve always assumed the gloves used by digitizers are to protect THEM, not the books—spending all day, every day just flipping, flipping, flipping = dryness, chafing, papercuts.

We had some Nimbuses and some weird old workstations in the Design Tech classroom for CAD - they at least had cool digitizers and a massive plotter attached. Autocad was very hard for an 11yp to pick up!

these glass digitizers feel nice but they are SO pissy. if this doesn’t work im probably better off just buying a plastic one

Even as a Linux desktop user on a gaming laptop (bone stock Debian) I'm agreeing you are absolutely 100% right.

About the only real use-case is to turn old WinXP-era touch-screen tablet PCs (especially ones with Wacom digitizers) into good drawing tablets.

And of course, I fully expect that the same legal restrictions would prevent these digitizers from actually publishing the resulting digital archives anywhere. Making these never-before-digitized books available to the public *could* have been a net good for our species. Alas.
