The Classic Nintendo Documentation Project

Last Updated 12/11/2005

The Nintendo Repository, for over eight years and three server changes, has been bringing you everything you ever wanted to know about the NES/Famicom, Super NES/Famicom and Game Boy console systems. Here will you find information not available anywhere else on the net, such as a comprehensive guide to Super Nintendo peripherals, a large, regularly updated manual archive for the SNES and GB, as well as the only English language list of Famicom cartridges in existance. Now and into the future, you can count on the Nintendo Repository to bring you the most information on Nintendo's classic consoles.es.

Big thanks to Shane Monroe over at Retrogaming Radio for mentioning this site in his Bits and Bytes segment during his August show. I have listened to his show and enjoyed it for many years, I am really flattered that the site was worth a mention on his outstanding show.

NES/Famicom

Converted a few stray SNES Peripherals pages into the new format. Something I meant to do years ago. Geesh! Where has the time gone?

  • Added Operation Secret Storm, Challenge Of The Dragon, and Castle Of Deceit manuals, thanks to TRM. I have had these forever and forgot to add them.

10/27/2004

Been a while since the site was updated, I know. Nothing new today, but there will be an update sometime this week. it would have been here earlier, fi not for some computer trouble over the weekend.

Just a quick note for those who have emailed asking about exchaning links. I really don't have time to maintain a links page like I used to have, but if you are established and ask nicely, well, I'll see. Drop me an email with your URL. When it comes to commercial sites, I generally don't link to them, unless there are extenuating circumstances, so please don't ask. Thanks.

4/19/2004

I finally fixed a number of broken update issues. Thanks to my new high speed connection, it updating this site is far less painful. Nothing new in this update, but the entire NES peripherals section was overhauled a bit, and all broken links and images there are now fixed.

4/19/2004

More manuals! And recently I found a great utility which makes viewing all of the scanned manuals here easier. Originally intended for scanned comic books, it will display all of the images within a Zip or RAR file, and it works great for the scanned manuals here as well. Check it out here.

I recently got broadband here, so updates should be more frequent, and a lot less broken. Stay tuned. And keep sending those manuals in!

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added scanned manuals for X-Men - Mutant Apocalypse and Wheel Of Fortune - Deluxe Edition

3/07/2004

The manuals just keep coming!

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added scanned manuals for Scooby-Doo Mystery, Tetris & Dr. Mario, and Super Double Dragon, thanks to an anonymous contributor

More scanned SNES manuals!

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added 6 new scanned manuals; Monopoly, Paperboy 2, Krusty's Super Fun House, Lethal Enforecers, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and The Lion King. Also added a scan of the map that came with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, I have had this for a long time but never put up the link to it.

12/03/2003

I know it has been a while since I last updated, yadda yadda yadda. But, if you like collecting Super NES manuals, this is the update for you.

The NES Pirate section will be back up in a few months.

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added 5 new scanned manuals; Battle Clash, The Great Waldo Search, John Madden Football, Home Alone 2 - Lost In New York, and Beethoven - The Great Canine Caper.

10/23/2003

Remember EGM? An old program I wrote and haven't updated in a year? Well, here is a new version, it still isn't great, but all of the old problems should be fixed. It isn't totally finished, but it should work for most purposes. Get it here

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added Harvest Moon (Australian) manual to manuals page, thanks to skeg64 for the manual

10/23/2003

Just a quick update...

Super NES/Famicom
  • Fixed Game Mage page, the Game Mage unit is displayed, and not the Game Genie (whoops)

  • Updated Batter Up! page with photos of the device, including those of the insides

NES/Famicom
  • Put Pirate Clones pages back up, and added more information about the Power Player. Access the clones pages from here and here. We'll see what happens.

5/23/2003

No, the site is not dead. Yet

The NES/Famicom pirate pages have been removed, the reason for this is explained in detail below.

I even considered pulling a TSR and just quit working on the site, and wouldn't be the first to consider that. Fact is, since I graduated college, I just don't have the free time like I used to. Not to say I am out working really hard, or out on lots of dates or something, but I have other priorities now. Some of my own choosing, some not. Because of this, the site will only be updated every 3-4 months from now on. I do regret this fact, but I don't have much choice. I will keep the site up and alive, so long as I have a host. But the updates just won't be as frequent.

Part of it is the site is huge, and grown beyond my ability to handle it. The site is still full of broken links, misspelled words, missing pictures, and a million other problems. I have nearly half a gig of material I have to put on the site, and haven't made a dent in it in months. I'm at a loss on how to handle the enormous task of getting the site completely updated, organized and working.

Some with similar sites pay to have their sites hosted, but that is just not possible for me. I owe a small fortune in student loans, car payments, insurance and other things I can't pay. The last thing I need is another monthly bill. This site is a hobby, one I freely share with the world, as long as it is 'free' for me to do so. If I made the big bucks that so many claimed a new graduate in computer science could make, which turned out to be a total load of shit, I would be happy to have it hosted on the best host on the planet, with all the tools I need to run the site. I do not want to turn this into a pay site for many reasons, mostly because I'd get into trouble over copyright issues, and it would be more trouble for me than I care to get into. And, frankly, I seriously doubt anyone would pay to see this site anyway.

So what is the bottom line here? The site WILL remain up. The site WILL be updated, but only a few times a year. Please continue to send in information, I do read every email, even if I am too busy or I forget to respond.

Thanks for your continued support!


Why the NES/FC Pirate Section is Down

Seems the ISDA strikes again, this time I am their victim. For whatever reason, my host's ISP got a snotty form letter from them, complaining about my NES/FC pirate stuff. No, there was not nor was there ever were any ROMs on this site. Either the IDSA hired flunky who found my pirate stuff assumed there were ROMs for download, or that I was selling pirate cartridges. Neither is true. The pirate stuff is for reference and entertainment only, I don't sell pirate stuff, or anything really, and I don't have any "copies of infringing game material". They did not state ANYTHING specific which was infringing, just a vague form letter. Unless having pictures of pirate cartridges is somehow a violation of the law, this group of busybodies are just looking to make trouble, and I just happened to be an easy target. There may have been some law passed about simply having pictures of pirated game cartridges, who knows in this day and age.

Either way, for the time being, the NES/FC pirate stuff has been removed from this site. Please don't send angry mail to my host, or their ISP, they had nothing to do with this. In fact, my host and their ISP have been great to me and this site, hosting it totally ad-free.  I have had the NES/FC pirate section up five years and never had a problem with the ISDA or Nintendo until now. It is probably the most popular section of the site with visitors. I put over 100 hours into that section over five years. Needless to say, I am NOT happy about this. Of course, I still have all the pages etc. locally here. As soon as this BS is ironed out, the NES/FC pirate stuff will be back one way or another. Keep checking back as things unfold.

This incident makes me glad I am almost exclusively a retrogamer, and have NOT purchased one game (new retail) from an ISDA member in 5 years. See if any of them get my business ever again. There are enough 8 bit, 16 bit and older PC games to last me the rest of my life anyway.

I am a lot more digusted about this than I am coming across here. I won't get into a long tirade here, but I will say a few things. When I first started this site, the internet was a different place. It was more friendly, it was a lot more fun. Nowadays, we have all kinds of shit on the internet; ever-increasing levels of spam, tons of annoying popup ads on almost every site out there, privacy invasions of all kinds, and lots of troublemaking busybodies. This site was exciting when I first started, as was the whole internet in general; nowadays this site feels like work, another obligation. I keep going because despite all this, I enjoyed the challenge, I took pride in what I was doing, and I knew that others enjoyed what I was doing. After this, I sat back and really wondered what I should do about it. I thought about shutting the site down. I won't. I put too much time into it. And others have helped me too much as well. But it definately gives me pause for thought. Things are just not what they used to be, and I can't help wonder if I should bother anymore. I will continue on here for the time being, and see how it goes. There are a definately few things here I want to finish up, such as the cartridge lists. But as for the whole site, I will see. Let's hope things resolve themselves, or at least there is no future trouble.

Now, they had NO complaint about the other pirate stuff, so only the NES/FC stuff was removed.

Hey speaking of pirate stuff... Some SNES pirates today. I have had these forever but forgot about them. Also, I forgot to upload the NES In The Arcade page a while back, it is up now. Thanks to Shaun Olson for reporting this.

Super NES/Famicom

1/30/2003

This is an official "catch up time" update, with lots of stuff people have sent in over the last 6 months, as well as stuff I have had on my hard drive forever but never got around to adding.

Super NES/Famicom
NES/Famicom
  • Added 2 new controllers to NES/FC controllers page. This is going to be split into different pages eventually, like the SNES controllers are now. For now, it is ok, but give it a fair amount of time to load. Also added a picture of the Beeshu Zinger, courtesy Luther Bell

  • Added weird unlicensed soccer game from Italy(?) to Unknown NES/FC page. Anyone know more about it?

  • Updated both NES/FC Pirate Clones pages, one two

Game Boy

1/3/2003

Happy New Year everyone. Not nearly as much as I planned for this update. A bigger, better update will come sometime around the new year. Keep sending in those Famicom cart scans, so the Famicom list can be soon completed.

NES/Famicom
  • Massive update to NES/FC list. Due to various issues, it will only be available in a zipped version. No one has been able to get the list to display completely in quite a while, including me (I think it its too big). So get it here.

  • Added a bunch of scans of my US NES carts. I might add the rest at a later date (there are about 300 more to scan!)

Super NES/Famicom

11/29/2002

Hope everyone out there in the US had a happy thanksgiving. Here are a few new goodies. Be sure and check out the new NES In the Arcades update.

NES/Famicom

11/02/2002

Hi everyone. Hopefully, things will return to 'normal' here, and updates will be more interesting and more often. At least they should, we will see.

NES/Famicom
  • Updated a few single Famicom pirates, replacing them "unknown" to their actual titles. Information courtesy Alex Evans

  • Updated NES/FC controllers page

  • Updated the NES/FC list, giving it a serious update, many Japanese name corrections, many missing FC games, and more. Though the list is still quite a ways from being complete, in terms of Famicom titles, I definately see a light at the end of the tunnel, and hopefully, hopefully, the Famicom section will be completed sometime early next year.

Game Boy

10/20/2002

Hi everyone. Updates have been pretty much nonexistant as of late, despite the fact people have been sending in great stuff as of late. Keep sending it in, I just have so much in real life I haven't had a chance to catch up at all. I know I sound like a broken record saying that all the time, I really thought I'd have some time to work on the site but just haven't had enough. Heck, I haven't touched EGM at all in 2 months. But I will get around to everything soon.

While there isn't much new here, here are some links to some interesting things
Click here to see a newly discovered NES modem. This is really awesome, I wish I had found it first
Click here to see the most insane NES related eBay auction I have ever seen. No, really, you just have to see this. The high bidder should be committed for this purchase.

Having contests on game related websites seems to be de rigeur as of late, and I got to thinking, why shouldn't I hop on the bandwagon as well? Doing compilation CDs of one's website also seems the thing to do, but due to legal reasons I would be concerned about selling them (and I doubt anyone would pay for one anyway, heh). So, I thought, why not have a contest for a Nintendo Repository CD? This isn't quite an announcement of said contest, rather some pre-contest research. So ok, here goes: the person who sends in the most neat, original stuff for me to add to the website within a time period (probably 2 months) would get a free CD of the site, as well as a few hundred meg of stuff I never put up for one reason or another. So if you think this is a leet idea, email me and let me know; just put "do contest" or something like that in the subject line.

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added manual for Batman Returns, courtesy SNESBoy

9/28/2002

Life has been busy as of late, and I apologize to everyone who has emailed and sent things in for inclusion but have not heard back from me. For everyone who submitted stuff, thank you and please keep it coming. I will try and catch up soon.

I have a special request for anyone out there who happens to own the newest Digital Press guide. Please let me know if there is a Famicom cartridge list included, I was told there might be one. And if there is, how it compares to my work. Thanks!

Some, including me, have been unable to download the NES/FC list due to its size and server timeouts. So I put up a zipped copy for download, it is under 80k compared to the unzipped copy which is over 600k.

NES/Famicom

9/18/2002

Pretty much same update as last time, am inbetween computers right now and cannot create too much new stuff, since I cannot back-up. But, just a few weeks ago I found a huge gold mine for new FC and SFC pictures, so the progress on the list is now taking off. Hey, maybe someday it will even be completed.

NES/Famicom

9/02/2002

A small update today. EGM has been delayed for a couple more weeks due to technical difficulty, and general distraction.

NES/Famicom

8/13/2002

Everyone who tried running EGM and had the program close after trying to create a new database should download a new debug version of the program. Instructions on how to use it are on the EGM page. DO NOT download this if you have another error, or if it works for you. This closing error is very common and the only reported bug as of late.

8/12/2002

A weak update, but the best I can do right now. Lots of great stuff coming, just have been busy trying to get it all ready.

NES/Famicom

7/31/2002

I am an idiot. I accidentally uploaded this index page before I was ready to do an update, and was up for weeks. Which is why the update below did not work when people tried to access the new stuff. It wasn't ready yet.

A new, almost complete version of EGM is coming in a couple weeks. This version will support inport/export CSV files, as well as an installer, finally. Stay tuned.

LATE UPDATE: Ok, the Sachen GB page is up as well. I also added 2 new NES controllers, the Zoomer and the Konix Speedking, to the NES/FC Controllers page. Enjoy!

NES/Famicom
  • Added 7 new manuals: Clash At Demonhead, Flying Dragon - The Secret Scroll, The Incredible Crash Dummies, Jaws, Mario's Time Machine, Panic Restaurant, and Rockin' Kats, all typed up by Skrybe. I have had these for a long time, but forgot to put them up.

  • Updated Power Pad page with a silly picture of someone using the Japanese version of the device. I have no idea where I got it years ago, if it is yours and want credit, let me know.

  • Added new NES Silver Surfer comic book ad to ads page

 

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added Miracle Piano manual scan to Miracle Piano page. This may be the cover of the NES manual, I don't know, I think they are the same

 

Game Boy
  • Updated Sachen GB cartridges page, and added a weird 8-in-1 GBC cartridge. Anyone have more info on these Sachen carts?

7/04/2002

Lots of great stuff coming soon here. A near-complete EGM, in terms of functionality, will be released in a few weeks, only the search engine is not finished. Much of the Game Boy section will be overhauled and given a new look. In the near future, all HTML on this site will be generated via a program I wrote, which means huge portions of the site can be changed and updated quickly, as well as tasks like adding new pirate cartridges etc. will be radically faster. And the designs will all be uniform, much fewer broken links etc. All of this should be here by the last week of July. For now, here is some new stuff.

NES/Famicom
Super NES/Famicom

6/07/2002

The debugging version of EGM has been released. Go get it. It also, of course, fixes a few bugs and things. Those with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET products installed may, may, get a missing mfc42.dll message. If you do, please email me and let me know and I will make adjustments for this. If you don't, please also let me know. The next version of EGM will finally have an easy to use installer.

I know the updates have been somewhat weak lately, but I do have stuff in the works here, and there will be more interesting updates soon. As usual, if you have anything to contribute, please send it in.

NES/Famicom
Super NES/Famicom
  • Minor update to SNES/SFC Mouse page

  • Added Mega Man X2 manual to manuals page, thanks to Egil Skalla-Grimsson for the manual

5/28/2002

Released another version of EGM, another highly suggested update for those who have been able to use EGM. A debugging version for those how haven't been able to get it to work is coming in a few days.

Also, expect another update in a day or so, with some new stuff, including some manuals. I just don't have time to upload it all today.

NES/Famicom

5/17/2002

Released another version of EGM, this fixes a very serious bug, and is recommended for all users. On that same note, many have written telling me that they cannot create a new database without the program crashing, making the program useless. I am investigating this, and will release a special debugging version shortly.

NES/Famicom

5/17/2002

Here's a new EGM, lost of improvements and bug fixes. Get it here. As a side note, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Seems someone else is writing their own program, which is an awful lot like EGM. Maybe this is coincidence, I don't know, but it sure looks like it borrows *a lot* of ideas from me. Either way it is cool and all, I mean, if someone can write a better program, hey go for it. Maybe I should be flattered, I still don't know   :)

NES/Famicom

4/20/2002

Hi everyone. A few new things today. More to come in a few days.

NES/Famicom
  • An update to the NES/FC list of course, and more scans uploaded

  • Speaking of scans, the scans have been somewhat-organized, and broken into good 2 sections: good scans and poor scans which need to be replaced. If anyone has replacement scans for any of the poor scans, please let me know.

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added a page about the LodgeNet Entertainment System, a video game system found in some hotels. I have pictures, but they are still on old fashioned film, so it is text-only for now.

4/04/2002

Just a reminder to everyone, please use the new email address nintendoNOSPAMrepository@SPAMSUXmyrealbox.com. I know I sound like a broken record, but people are still sending important mails to the old address, and getting upset that I don't reply.  Remove the capital letters for the real email address of course (damn spam bots).

There is a new version of EGM also, and it is a major update. A few new features have been added (not all are finished yet), and several significant bugs were fixed. This will bring EGM close to the 1.0 beta stage, that is, the program will have everything I wanted to put in, and there will be bug fixing only left to do. It is still missing a few minor features, though, but it is close to complete. Be sure and send in any suggestions, and bugs you find.

NES/Famicom
  • As always, updated NES/FC list

  • Added another Famicom cart to the unidentified section, please identify if you can

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added new Super MultiTap 2 page, a neat Bomberman-shaped MultiTap only released in Japan. Also revamped the MultiTap page

  • Added Bust-A-Move manual to manuals page, manual typed up and contributed by Egil Skalla-Grimsson

  • Also updated Super NES/Famicom Mouse page. If anyone knows if the mouse was also released in Europe or not, please let me know.

3/16/2002

Released a critical update for EGM, all EGM users should download this

NES/Famicom
  • Removed all but one Unknown Famicom cart, all others have been identified. Thanks again to Klarth Ailerion!

  • As a result, updated NES/FC list

  • Added manual for Power Glove, submitted by Jeff Bogumil, typed up by Lee K. Seitz

  • Added missing link for Freedom Connection page, in the peripherals section. Also updated the Freedom Connection page a bit

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added manual for X-Zone, thanks to Jeff Bogumil for typing it up and submitting it

3/07/2002

A few new things today.

The Super NES/FC list will be EGMized and totally redone in the near future. If it proves successful, the NES/FC and GB lists will get the same treatment.

Speaking of EGM, there is a new version available. Go get it, and let me know what you think. If you are having problems with EGM, be sure to read the What's New section for help.

A number of people have mentioned to me they sent mail to me, but I never replied, and were fairly angry about it. Please understand I get a lot of email, and I have had a lot of problems with my various email accounts. If you emailed me, and I never replied, please send your mail again, to the address below. I am not ignoring anyone, and I appreciate everyone's comments, suggestions, stuff to add to the site, and even complaints. If you sent any mail to the old hotmail address, chances are I never got it. I still check my hotmail account, but for every real mail, I get 50 or so spam mails a day. Not only do I have a hard time reading through and digging out the real mail from all the junk, but hotmail has a small allowable disk space, and often times the spam floods my box and pushes me over the limit, and real mail (especially with attachments) gets deleted. Please, use nintendorepositoryNO@SPAMmyrealboxPLEASE.com (remove the capital letters in the address, sorry this is necessary to do). Thanks!

Special apology to Joona Poho, I have used his pictures on the M82 Demo Unit page without giving him proper credit for a long, long time. Again, my apologizes for this oversight. I have a hard time keeping track of all the stuff on this site sometimes. If I have anything here for which any of you deserve some credit or recognition, please let me know.

NES/Famicom
  • Another big update to the NES/FC list. Big thanks to Klarth Ailerion for identifying most of the unknown Famicom carts! I have a huge collection of Famicom scans I need to upload, and will do so soon.

  • Updated Four Score and NES Satellite pages, can someone confirm that the PAL/UK version of Sword and Serpents game is 4 player compatible (using the actual cartridge, not the ROM dump, which I believe is wrong)?

  • Updated Unknown Famicom page with a few more unknown Famicom games

Super NES/Famicom

2/17/2002

A few new things today, along with a new version of EGM.

NES/Famicom
  • Yes folks, another massive update to NES/Famicom list, and even more Famicom scans uploaded. Thanks to Klarth Ailerion for identifying all of the previously unidentified Famicom carts. If you have scans of Famicom cartridges not in the collection, please feel free to submit them, so I can complete the Famicom scans collection and list.

  • Updated NES Satellite page, man it sucked. Actually, it still kinda does. I need some more information on this, especially the European/PAL and Japanese versions.

  • Very minor update to R.O.B./Family Robot page

  • Very minor update to Family BASIC Keyboard page

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added new Super Famicom unidentifed section. Just like the Famicom unidentified section, it contains scans of Japanese SFC carts for which I do not have titles for. Please help out if you can.

1/29/2002

Just a few new things today...

Super NES/Famicom
  • Added The Lost Vikings manual to manuals section, courtesy Egil Skalla-Grimsson

NES/Famicom

1/22/2002

Updated EGM, this is another critical update. Everyone should download this, it fixes a lot of bugs which prevented much of the program from working.

1/20/2002

Updated EGM, Win2000/NT/XP should download this update. Not necessary for 95/98/ME users.

NES/Famicom
  • Significantly updated NES/Famicom List, many, many Japanese titles corrected. In addition, the Misc Scans were all deleted, renamed, and reorganized, and reuploaded. The file names now accurately match the full, complete Japanese title of the game as it is in the NES/Famicom List.

  • More unidentified Famicom carts added to unknown section

1/17/2002

My email had changed yet again, it is now nintendorepository@myrealbox.com. The old email at repository@myrealbox.com will not work, and I have not been able to get my mail there for over a month. So if you sent any mail there, I never got it. I know comments concerning EGM were sent there, and I never got to see them.

Speaking of EGM, there is a new release of EGM. Give it a try, and give me some feedback at the new address.

NES/Famicom
  • Eliminated some of the unknown Famicom carts. They have been added to the NES/FC Cartridge List. Thanks to Atarashi Kodomo for the information! More unknown Famicom cartridges have been added to the unidentified section.

1/06/2002

A few new things here and there on the site. But today, I want to talk about something a little different.

Many of you may have been wondering why I haven't been updating much at all in the last six months. Ok, maybe you haven't. Anyways, I have been working on something else, something new which I felt has been lacking, and had yet to be done. While I enjoy working on this site, I have had a serious case of "writer's block" the last few years, and have been unsure what to do with it. One of the reasons this site has lost a lot of popularity, is the constant server changes (and I do apologize for that, but it happens, ask Marten Nielsen of NES World). But more than that, is the lack of original, and generally interesting content. I added the NES and GB in an attempt to cover more, but much of what I have done has been done elsewhere. Besides my web design skills (ha!), I also have other computer talents, and decided to put them in a new direction.

So, without further adou, I present, EGM, or Electronic Game Manager. A free, small Windows program which does something other programs have tried to do, be a fully intergrated game collection management system. I have worked on this on and off for 6 months, it is still early in its production, but it is usable and largely complete. Take a look, and tell me what you think.

EGM will be maintained separately from this site, as I consider them to be two different "products" (but there will be a link from here). EGM will be updated every two weeks or so, until it is finally complete.

Now, on to the site updates...

Super NES/Famicom

  • Updated NES/FC Cartridge List

  • Added 2 new NES pirate multicarts, 1 new pirate FC single

  • Added a new unknown FC cart, and an unknown FDS disk to unidentified section. If you can identify these, please let me know.

More new stuff, and a lot of bugfixes, redesigns, and such. According to FrontPage, there are no longer any broken links, but who really knows all things considered, let me know if you find any.

Someone emailed me about removing some NES controllers pictures they claim are theirs. I will do this in the next update, I just haven't had a chance to go through them and figure out what is what.

Man, it has been a while, hasn't it? Well, we're back, albeit in a limited capacity for a few weeks. Lots of new stuff, but haven't had a chance to get it all up yet.

What I do have for this update is a significantly updated Super NES/FC cartridge list. The database conversion is also underway and doing well. I *hope* to have some database stuff set up here in the following weeks. Ok, probably months, but it will be sometime in the future. I know I have said it before ad nauseum, but this site isn't down, yes even though it has been 7 months. We'll be slowly back as things unfold.

There will be another update in a few weeks, hopefully less. Thanks for your continued support!

Please note a change in email address: nintendoIHATESPAMrepository@NOSPAMTHANKSmyrealbox.com
Note the old email address still works but I won't check it very often. IMPORTANT: remove "NOCRAPPYSPAM" from the address above to email, the NOSPAM was added to deter spam bots from getting my address. Thanks!
