Finally got around to printing off some covers last week, but i came across some games that didnt have the covers i want, so im hoping some talented people here can help me out!
PLEASE NOTE: unless otherwise stated all requests are for CUSTOM PAL
N64
Mortal Kombat 4
Pilot Wings
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Daikatana
SNES
i am aware that the following game is for the super famicom, but having the cover as PAL would make it fit in with the rest of my games.
(ranmas done!)
Alcahest
im not really in a great rush to have the covers, my black ink is running low and i wont be getting a new one until the start of next month,
thanks,
Dr.Agon

And Vertical US Alcahest is slowly finishing, easy to convert to PAL.

thanks Arseen!,
im back at work now so i cant spend weeknights going through forums, (unfortunatly), i will take the time to look this weekend though,
"street combat" looks horrid!, why not just keep the original characters??
glad alcahest is on the way, did it get a US release then?
-
glad alcahest is on the way, did it get a US release then?
Nope, but I like to keep my games in US style covers.
And of course I could order Really Energitic Positive Robust Omelette version of it...
-
Arseen, i looked through the n64 link and found a couple, Thanks again for posting the link!,
still looking for a few, if anybody has the time i would really appreciate it!
-
still looking for these, i know everybody's busy and i may be forced into starting to make my own, but i have a lot of projects on the go right now so dont have the time, please if anyone does take some time to create these i would greatly appreciate it!

i am aware that the following games are for the super famicom, but having the covers as PAL would make them fit in with the rest of my games.
unfortunatly i cant yet read japanese so cant tell you the full names of the following three games;
Ranma 3
(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy106/gameathlon/ranma%20pics/ranma3.jpg)
This is the only one I've done (because it's the only one that I own). It's not PAL, but I'll gladly make you a PAL version if you'd like. Also, if you do indeed have the covers for these, I'd LOVE to have scans of the lot. I couldn't find high res images of these anywhere on the web, and to be honest, most Ranma art is crap and finding good fan art is tough. If you get me scans, then I'll GLADLY make a series of PAL covers using the original box art ;D

wiggy you are the man! (unless your a woman), im so glad right now!
i do have all three games in boxes, thats where i got the scans from,
im a huge retro nut, a few years ago i found a site that sells japanese games and merch in perfect or almost perfect condition, so all of my imports have boxes/manuals and in some cases vouchers/cards/advertising stuff etc.
its late here (11:30) gonna watch some shit on tv with a cuppa, so i'll do some 300 or 600 scans tomorrow, what do you need?, front/sides/ends/back/all?
-
now im in the mood wo watch some ranma lol
-
y'know, i might just have to find some ranma too!
ok, done some scans for you wiggy;
http://photobucket.com/ranmascans (http://photobucket.com/ranmascans)
for quickness i did 2 games at once, should be easy enough to seperate them, the game with the yellow border has 2 different pics on the sides depicting the 2 sides of ranma, i'll leave it to you to decide which one to use for the spine of that game
...could you find the time to do the other games as well?, if you need scans of those just let me know
-
OK, l'll take a look at em tonight.
Any chance you could upload them to something like media share? Photobucket resamples the images and degrades the quality a LOT. There's also rapidshare. I don't think either require that you sign up or anything. Just ZIP/RAR the files and up em then provide the link.
-
Photofucket must have resampled them down to damn near nothing. Each cover ends up being about 500x900 pixels.
Just so you can see what I'm saying, this what it looks like when I dump it into my template (which is @ 300dpi) :/
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k99/wiggyx/Game%20Stuff/SNEScovertemplate.jpg)
Plus, there's all kinds of JPG artifact issues going on (again, this is Photobucket destroying the image)
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k99/wiggyx/Game%20Stuff/artifacts.jpg)
Aaand I find another 2 typos in my template. This is why you don't proofread your own work, people :/
Now I have to fix it and freakin' re-upload it...
-
SHIT!, sorry about that, ok i do have a mediafire account i could use, would that give better results?, seeing as how i dont work saturdays i could take the time to experiment with my scanner too. also with the template at 300dpi would you prefer them at this or can i keep it at 600?
-
600 dpi is always preferred. You can always scale down from something too big, but not the other way around, as the quality will take a hit.
-
i'll keep them at 600 then

-
Yeah, 600 is fine and dandy ;D
-
god my internet's slow! >:( 2hrs its took to upload this file!
ok so ive rescanned each of the covers individually at 600dpi, hopefully this time they'll look ok:

thanks again for this wiggy, one day i may make some covers myself! :D
-
YES! Excellent!
I'll get on these soon for ya ;D
-
YES! Excellent!
I'll get on these soon for ya ;D
cheers wiggy!, so how is this progressing?
-
Actually working on them right now. Had to find the template. I finally bookmarked the template thread last week, then couldn't find the bookmark. Fail.
Got it now though ;)
edit: the PAL template that I found is horizontal. Is that what you want? Also, it has a light blue backdrop. So you want specific background colors? I'll work on them while waiting for your answer, since a LOT of the work will involve cleaning up art and logos anyway.

that was your 'blonde moment' of the week! :D

vertical please! and try to get background colors that match the original ones please
-
D'oh, I went ahead and started doing horizontal! Doesn't matter, like I said, most of the time is spent editing art/logos/titles anyway. Reformatting this will take no time at all, especially since all I really did was crop the cleaned up art and toss it into the template.
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k99/wiggyx/Game%20Stuff/Ranma-1-PAL-sample.png)
Which template do you want me to use? I don't see a specific vertical PAL template in the template thread. Just post the link for the specific template you want if you can. That'll make my life WAY easier.
-
oops!, sorry i didnt specify that earlier, could have saved you a little bit of work!
anyway just did a random pick of a title;
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=7974 (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=7974)
that is the style id like please, did i mention that even though they arent pal id like them in that style?, this way they match my other games.
-
Yup, you did. That's why that mockup was done with a PAL template ;)
I'll get some more done on these in the next day or two for ya. I'm having fun cleaning these guys up!
-

oops, missed that!, that'll be my blonde moment then!

glad you like it!, i cant wait to see what the end result looks like!
edit: how are these coming along wiggy?
-
updated the first post as wiggy is working on the ranma covers, anybody want to tackle the n64 covers?
-
Is this what you're looking for?
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k99/wiggyx/Game%20Stuff/Ranma-ChounaiGekcopy.jpg)
I used the PAL template and just changed the code to an "SHVC" version since it's actually a Japanese title. The only other thing that's different is that there's no barcode for just this one Ranma title (unless it's on the spine that I didn't get in the scans). So, it still has the barcode that's in Shenske's template. If it is indeed on the spine, then feel free to scan it and I'll add it so that it's actually correct.
-
thats it exactly, awesome dude! ;D
the barcode for that one is on one of the end parts, i'll scan it tomorrow night.
-
Cool cool. I'll try and crank the other two out tomorrow for ya!
-
No barcode for this one as well :/ Vertical original cover art made this a tad tricky. Lemme know what you think of the front. There's not a whole lot else I can do save for changing the backdrop texture/color. There's gonna be dead space no matter what. There's just no way to stretch that cover to fill the space without losing a TON of the art :(
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k99/wiggyx/Game%20Stuff/Ranma-BakuretsuRantouHencopy.jpg)
I gotta take a break. I spent WAY too long on this bad boy today. I'll get the 3rd knocked out as soon as possible ;)
-
yes realised that last night whilst reviewing the scans, so got the 2 barcodes scanned, hopefully you can work out which is which!

-
Those are WAY tiny. Also, I just realized that I don't have the barcode for any of them. Can you get me some scans that are at least 300dpi (those are 72)? Also, can you give me a small portion of the rest of the box so I can properly match them up without having to guess?
-
that was the day my scanner was playing silly buggers, and decided it would only scan to a file, maybe i should have sorted it rather than thinking it would be ok!,
been doing some scanning today and everythings fine!
all three barcodes are uploading now, will add an edit when done
EDIT: barcode 1 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zvucxbxpnfqgscy
barcode 2 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wsf2uafh1aqq9b1

Aaaaand finally done!

"Pal Version", Japanese text, "ESRB logos" and the removal of the gradient on the spine for the developer logo ..... oy vey THIS HURTS MY EYES ::)
Luckily the artwork that I spent hours cleaning up and the titles that I created vectors for came out nicely.
He wanted PAL version with Japanese art, so here it is. I'm pretty sure it's so that they'll match his current crop of cased games.
I don't care for the extra spine graphic. Too busy for my taste. If he wants it, I'll gladly toss it back in.
I missed the ESRB thing. It happens.

exactly what wiggy said, this way when there on my shelf they wont stand out too much. when i found some US NTSC covers for some of my games i just copied and pasted the euro snes logo over the us one on the spine so that they all matched up, did something similar with n64 sin and punishment, even though its a japanese game, i've euro-fied the spine. typing this from work, and going out tonight, so it'll be late here when i DL and print, but i'll defo take some pictures when done! thanks wiggy for your patience and extreamly hard work!!
-
You're very welcome :D
Also, I did remove the ESRB ratings in, case you didn't notice. If you want the dev log on the spine, then just let me know and I'll toss it on there with the gradient bar.

I'll keep updating the list as the covers appear on the site or the boards.
As I'm now also starting to make covers feel free to ask covers that you are missing thru the link in the first post of my topic.
I'll put request to the top of my to do list and try to do them first if good images are available
