cool covers shenske, but why tare the Gameboy logos on the spines white? They'd stick out from all the black GB, GBC and GBA spines like a sore thumb.

Isn't Yellow officially called "Special Pikachu Edition"?

Anywhoo, they look nice.  I just wish someone would make DS-sized covers that actually hold GB/GBC games...

Any way you could send me that template and those covers? They look really great. It would be great if you could make the GBA Pokemon games with covers similar to these too so they all match? Just a suggestion. Great Work!

 ;D i'm really glad that all of you liked them so much!  ;D

i'm shocked that no one tried to correct me that Green version isn't an American game.
i'm especially pleased with how it turned out because i didn't have anything to base it off of.
(except the japanes cover on the site and blue version)


Wish I didn't already print my PKMN covers.

there have been countless times where i had to reprint a cover because someone has made a cover thats works better for me.
(actually not countless, more like 4 or 5 but you know what i mean)

i am well aware there is a standard spine. 

I made both black and silver spined versions.
(it just bugged me that the spine didn't match the front)

so if you don't like the silver spine then just go with the original black spine.

Yes, Yellow is called Speacial Pikachu Edition but it would't have fit the rest of the spines.

If you cut out a chunk of your ds case they will fit GB/GBC games.  :)

I will upload all of the covers to the site momentarily.
(I will also put a link to the template)

i was considering also remaking the gba games too, i just wasn't sure how high the demand would be.

if you want me to i could remake them aswell.

Yeah, I know.  It's just a pain to do.  I've only done it for the four Zelda GB/GBC games.  If there was a case that was more friendly, I'd jump on trying to get my entire collection covered. :)

the covers that are currently on the site will do just fine, except maybe a back scan for emerald if you have it.

I like them. I think you should do a version of them with black spines. The reasons for this are:

1. I know you like the ones with the silver spines, but you should do the black ones also, because
2. The ones who will complain that it'll stick out like a sore thumb won't have anything to complain about.

Yes.

3) Save (Copy+Paste should work too)
4) Open cover
5) Open/paste spine

i will upload them all the gameboy advance ones at once (that should be in the next few days)

that would be awesome if you could scan pokemon pearl, please do  ;D

i don't think i clarified this enough.

all covers on this thread have both a silver spine and black spine version.

i only use the silver spine in the previews i show
(but i do have both versions of black and silver)

Forgot to mention:
Dammit Shenske, I'm gonna have to reprint all of my Pokemon covers. Also note that my Pokemon Diamond cover was created by scanning a still sealed box. Never opened it, decided not to actually play it, sold it to friend. I submitted a brightened version, but the admins didn't upload it. 25% brighter looked better IMO.

If you wanted to go with the official cover, but not have the huge wireless link logo, you could probably use the Player's Choice version of the cover (modify the PC logo out, of course)

(http://images.shopping.msn.com/img/3/2950/50/750988.jpg)

Probably need better pictures though...

shenske, how about creating this custom spine idea to the other Pokémon games, namely the good ones: Puzzle Laague Challenge, Trading Card Game and Pinball? Pinball is an iffy subject since because of the rumble pak it would need to be stored in two DS cases, similar to WarioWare Twisted. Check the site to see how that was done.

i was looking into that.  I'm undecided though.

i'm not even that much of a pokemon addict.  i like pokemon as much as the next guy on the site.
i made the covers to fill a request and ran with it.  :)

The Pokemon games i actually own currently are: Red (J), Green (J) and Diamond.
Although i probably have owned all different versions (except Pearl) at one point of time.


wow! i got off topic

i deffinately want to finish what i started with the "adventure RPG" pokemon games.
i still need to fix up LeafGreen & FireRed (i'm not completely happy with them) and Diamond & Pearl.

we will have to see after those are complete.


edit: i'm also considering remaking the japanese covers for all versions too.
       i just don't have all that much to work with and know absolutely no japanese.

I have that game.  But I don't have a scanner, so why am I even bringing it up?

So anyway, I think I like shenske's templates a lot more than the other ones.  They just seem more true to that Nintendo style.  And I would love to see a tempate in a place that I would be able to open it up without having to pay $12.99 a month to do so, preferably box.net since it's free.

I think that you should finish what you started.  I'd love to see what all the games would look like lined up together on a shelf.  And if possible, could you add Diamond and Pearl to the mix so I can see what it looks like?  That'd be awesome.

And Yellow Version's official name is Special Pikachu Edition or something like that.  Good luck fitting that on the spine!  ;)

Can't the templates be posted directly to your post because I can't open them from the link.  :-\

sure, that would be great, as long as its a real scan from the game and not the gamespot images (they are a little small)

(i know there is one on the site already but its fuzzy and dark in a few areas)

i'm not sure what resolution they are or the dpi but i doubt it.

if you download the picture, right click and go to properties.  go to details section and it will tell you dpi and resolution.


if its not 300 dpi at least, and resolution in the thousands then unfortunately i can't use it  :(

You'll never find usable scans on a site like gamespot, gamefaq, ign or other game review sites.... They just use the images to show off the artwork but htey are never meant to be used any further!!!!

They are low dpi or low res or both..... Even the images from mobygames which are 300dpi SOMETIMES are too low res ot be used most of the time....

There is another site called thelegacy which has some more high res artwork but I doubt even their scans might be unusable.... Quite many are 300dpi but als low res....

That's 'cause it's a scan of an unopened game with a custom spine. I uploaded one to the site that was 25% brighter(and 25% better IMO:)) but the admins didn't replace it with the new one. The one thing I like about it is the custom spine. I scanned the back of the preorder card thing and added a logo and whatnot.

If anybody's wondering why it was unopened, it went something like this:
1) Preordered Diamond for stylus
2) Pearl/Diamond get released onto interwebs
3) I download them to see if they're any good (this was the Friday before release)
4) I decided I'd buy it, but I'd think about actually opening it (No aspect of it really wowed me)
5) Bought it, scanned it unopened
6) Decided I didn't have enough time for a new RPG
7) Sold it to friend for $30

click on the link, put in the three letter code and download it.
(i rechecked the link and it works)
the template is in photoshop format. if you don't have photoshop then you won't be able to view it.

i don't have authoization to upload it dirrectly (because its a file, not a picture). 
one of the admins or snowcone would have to do that.

You'll notice that my spines have uniform logos (the Phoenix Wright one is the best because there is a lot of high res stuff for it) and a picture spread across in most cases. (All so far)

Dammit! I'm not sure why, but I keep trying to edit my reply into the post I want to quote!
Anyway, I think it would be better if it was more "natural" than a couple pokeballs. I think you should have a few Pokemon and some of the characters in the game. A pokeball or two would be ok though, I just think it would look ugly across the whole collection. And please make it in alphabetical order, not chronological or color-wise.

i know i don't have power to ban people nor do i want the power.  I do have the power to warn people (i'm really not trying to go over anyones head here, sorry)  Even if i wasn't an Admin i would probably still write something similar to that so it doesn't spam up the thread i started.

his name is a website and he just quoted the first post and wrote nothing but a link to his site again.

it would be fine if his site was vaguely similar to the covers made in this thread.
his site isn't even related to the post or thread he posted in.

Add to that, what would you put inside the case? If its a R4 or something, well we already have the cover for the R4 so thats outta the question. Unless you plan to just leave it empty, much like the Vertual Console cases here. But if that's the case and I don't want to sound rude, but that's really really dumb. Its a waste of a case, ink, paper, effort, and time. If we hosted it, it would also be a waste of bandwidth and storage space.

covers r serious buisness huh?  :P

It was meant more for a VC type cover, but it could be used to hold the R4. Mostly I just needed the practice to make NDS covers, since all I'm used to the DVD/CD sized ones and figured someone might want to use the thing.

as far as the text for the back of each game, i have some low rez stuff i can retype for all (i think) of the VB games.

I got tired of not having cases for my Virtual Boy collection...I'm not sure if any are quality worthy of being on the site, since none of my games are boxed, all art came from scans on the net. If anyone can provide decent scans (especially for Waterworld and Nester's Funky Bowling) I'd be more than happy to remake them. We also don't have a Virtual Boy section here so I'm not sure how I would add any covers that are good enough quality.

Here are some Japanese DS covers... something sorely needed on the site. ;) Hope you don't mind me posting here but I only have 10 or so games so I didn't think it deserved a thread of its own. Anyway, here are the first few:

Akumajou Dracula: Gallery of Labyrinth (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Jigsaw.retail.ds_akumajou-dracula-gallery-of-labyrinth_jp.jpg)

(http://pici.se/pictures/szXoBcbcj.jpg)

Edit: The background on the Ouendan 2 cover has kind of a metallic look to it that the scanner naturally didn't pick up, but it still looks OK, I guess. The alternate cover uses the artwork from the manual and should look fine regardless of how it's printed. :)


More to come.

I thought I'd scan in the boxes i have that still need covers so here is one of them for now.  Cleaning up a metalic cover is quite difficult! I had to rearrange quite a few things but i think it still turned out pretty well.

I'm debating on whether or not to create a "default way for all the legal text to line up for all my japanese GB/GBC covers or not. I think i might do a side bar like the japanese DS covers.

EDIT:
Here is what i'm talking about, i like is this way better  :)

LUFIA used I AM WHAT I AM!  It's SUPER FABULOUS!

I'm in the midst of my first attempt at a GB cover.  Sadly, I can only find a low res of the cart and an EXTREMELY low res of the cover itself, but with the help of some elements from this site's Trouble on Blobonia cover, it was enough to attempt recreating the layout...

Now, there a few things I'd like some feedback on before I upload it:

Should I use Absolute Entertainment or Electrobrain's logo, seeing as they feature on different versions of the same cover?
What's the difference between using a black or silver header on the spine?
If I sent in European (as seen) and US (easily done) versions, would they both be uploaded?

Glad you like it though, noise!
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: noiseredux on February 21, 2010, 09:27:38 AM
my version has Absolute. Not sure if one is more common than the other. I think the spine color is a preference thing. MOST covers for GB/GBC/GBA hosted on here seem to have uniformally feature the black spine. If you upload different regions, they will both be featured.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: Brendan Jones on February 21, 2010, 12:12:25 PM
Cheers!

In the end, I uploaded a European version with both the logos, and a silver spine.  Perfectly willing to run off variations though. :)

Could you detail what went into this cover? Did you layer over the original cover and trace? Your post indicates you didn't just put the cover through a filter and call it complete.

Sure I can  :)

Basically filters would not really help me with this image. I had to zoom in very close to the front artwork and manually smudge the pixels to make the appropriate color and get rid of pixelation. There was also a lot of cases where i had to completely retrace and recolor. 

The spine logo was changed because the spine area was not really fitting to have a square logo (obviously long horizontal logos work best).  It took me forever to figure out what font to choose that would match the original font used in the original logo. After closer examination i found out it is the same font the Madden games used prior to 2006.  The spine logo also matches very nicely next to my remake of the first Super Mario Land for the Game Boy.

The back has everything retyped with a filtered image of the front artwork behind all the text.  The original box was very bland only having a solid monochrome color for the background so i decided to liven it up a bit while still keeping the feeling of the original.

Here is a comparison shot from the original scanned artwork we have on the site vs. what mine looks like.

Have you ever used What the Font? (http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/)

You upload an image, type out the text contained in the image and it searches it's massive database of fonts to attempt to determine what style font is used in the image.

I've only used it a couple of times, but the results have been impressive.

Hmm...I used scans here on the site, maybe they were in a low quality or I somehow messed it up.  I didn't think it would be hosted considering how bad the back of the cover looks.  How about the second cover that I made for the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends game, I was pretty sure that was at 300dpi, and that one is a much better cover.

I didn't even bother uploading the M&M's cover to the site, I had a feeling it was going to be rejected.

What image editing program are you using? Some programs such as MS Paint immediately bump the DPI down to 50 or so i believe.

The original scans that were used say they are at 300 dpi using the windows explorer picture viewer...even the completed cover is appearing as 300 dpi...are you by any chance looking at the imageshack version?  It lowers the quality...

I had a bit of free time at work today (i'm not back yet though).  I forgot about this little project i started about a year ago. This is how i will be casing all my classic nes games for the gameboy advance.  Here is just a sample of what i have in mind.

Super Mario Bros. Classic NES Series

Here is the old cover for reference

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here, but I really liked what Shenske did for Mario Land 1 and 2 and set out to do similar covers for the Wario Land games. I tried PM'ing shenske before I made this, but I never got a response so I don't know if he ever got it.

Anyhow, this should line up pretty well with his SML covers, hopefully it's comparable quality wise too. I've got Wario Land 2 coming up too.

No toes stepped on at all, great job AppleQueso!  I've just been really busy, i haven't replied to any of my PMs for a few weeks.  Small suggestion though, i think the barcode could be redone.

Asking your opinions on this for Wario Land 2, which spine would be best?

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3361389/warioq.jpg)

Both are edited from the Japanese logo, but the second features the "II" from the US/PAL box art.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: Zelimpdna on November 17, 2010, 01:25:59 AM
I prefer the second one, with 'II'.

But then, I've always preferred Roman Numerals for game titles.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: Arseen on November 17, 2010, 02:12:37 AM
I also prefer Roman Numerals for game titles, but because the spine will be small on shelf, I probably would go with the first version as it is easier to read.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: shenske on November 17, 2010, 03:03:51 AM
The roman numeral version is best in my opinion. The "2" version probably looks better from afar but I would want it to match the front of the cover and my cart.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: AppleQueso on November 17, 2010, 09:39:57 AM
Well, "II" it is then.

EDIT: I'm having trouble finding a good scan of Wario Land 3's box art. The NTSC one on here is pretty rough looking, does anyone here have the game and could scan me a raw?

EDIT 2: nevermind I've got it

I personally use those. ;D and yea I'll use that same banner you used on the gameboy pocket.

They do fit but to avoid tumbling around i cut out just under an inch of foam and lay it in and cut out a mold.

Look at this one. I'm workin the spine at the moment and i have all the elements together for the back and should be done very soon  ;D.

Not much room left anywhere for the barcode.

Here's a little idea that would be a nice touch. Before you print out the final copy you're going to use, open the cover back up in Photoshop and add your serial number in the display box on the back. Will look much better than just a blank white area. ;)

I agree with shenske that you should make the spine to match his, this way we can have all of our handhelds lined up in a nice, orderly fashion :D

and it's kind of funny that you made a cover using the 12 disc case... I randomly bought 10 of them late last year and they're pretty nice!

nice work!

EDIT: Finally decided to vector the "blasts" and the little gameboy guy on the top right (got a couple more text styles to do i.e. link, multiplayer etc. &the one that belongs on the front of the box.)

I actually remember vaguely that picture from before.

That Black and pink one looks pretty ... pretty.

Have you bought that case like that or have you painted that pink text yourself?

And are you going to convert that cover for the other colors too, at least to the normal range of colors

That is actually the original play it loud color scheme for the black. And if I can get one scan of the "play it loud" spine I just might who knows.

DAMN!!!! That looks GORGEOUS. Have you ever seen a reproduction cart of this game? It's worth buying just for the cover!
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: shenske on March 16, 2011, 06:51:45 PM
I agree the cover does look very nice. This is probably my favorite hack I've ever played. The only problem about getting s repro if thus game is you don't know what build the game was burnt at so you may gave some bugs or an incomplete version of the game. Another problem is the repros are often poorly built with no internal memory ... a pokemon game without saving would be terrible.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: amarthar on March 17, 2011, 03:35:11 AM
I actually didn't make it with those pirated carts in mind. As I mentioned I just got bored and made it. Besides the hack is still in beta status, AFAIK.

If anyone can provide the rest of the mascot Pokémon, then I'm more than willing to do it.

Anyway, here's the matching label:

I was thinking more along the lines of using the original cover art but restoring it to be much smoother and more vibrant. I would also fade the original art for the background on he back.

As for pokemon It would be similar to that except I'd completely rework/reorganize the backs & spines to feel more like the DS versions. We'll see ...

I had a bit of free time at work today (i'm not back yet though).  I forgot about this little project i started about a year ago. This is how i will be casing all my classic nes games for the gameboy advance.  Here is just a sample of what i have in mind.

Super Mario Bros. Classic NES Series
(http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1115/smbpre.jpg) (http://img215.imageshack.us/i/smbpre.jpg/)
Among many other things; all text has been retyped and Mario is vectored!

Here is the old cover for reference

I second this! This is a Tetris cover that just draws you in. Plus, it actually has a barcode and UPC (something I'm very particular about), though my current resources can't confirm if that is the correct barcode. Is it? And can you make it available for download?

Few things wrong:

1: Just by looking at your link that starts with photobucket I can say no.

Photobucket screws your covers, NEVER UPLOAD THERE, if you presenting a ready cover.

Create Mediafire or Box.net account and upload there.
Then give us the link.

2: Your cover is 3.41 by 1.43 inces or 8.66 by 3.64 CM, way too small and thus when streched to correct size will get blurry.

Save it in correct size and upload to either of the mentioned places, and we can see the cover better.

 ;)

EDIT: I can see from the image that the  raws that you are using seem to be excelent, so that cover has potential.

Come on Arseen don't be too nice.

In reality this cover won't make it to the site unless you completely change teh barcode and front image, also the back upper right info stuff and the front lower right info stuff are way too low res.

You didn't use 300dpi stuff to begin with. The Game Boy color template we have looks much sharper and more high res.

The front artwork is blurry and has a pixelated title. The barcode is unreadable low res.

What is good is the back text, screenshots and back legal text the rest needs replacement.

I sometimes am too polite, but this time I used the winding tactic.

What I do is I lure them to start making corrections to a cover and little by little wiggle them to better the cover until Cover Guru or Cover admin jumps in and tells what needs to be done (SUCCESS) or they get the cover done or they give up under high quality stantards.  ;D

If you want the cover to be approved the barcode has to be correct.

If the code is correct in yor cover

Anyway go to the link, copy this number there 4005209040624, choose EAN/JAN-13 and clickgenerte barcode. then just save the result and resize if needed.

Yep the link seems to work now
And the cover took about a minute and that is including downloading the Badchad cover, searching silver back cover, downloading it, opening them in Paint, editing, opening the Mediafire, uploading, figuring how to move the image to new folder (mediafire changed their interface little while back), moving the image, linking, checking the link, downloading, opening the file, noticing that the link links to crappy preview version, reopening the mediafire, fixing the link, re-downloading and opening it in paint and retesting the download. The editing itself took less than 10 seconds.  :)

Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: gator on May 08, 2011, 12:17:25 AM
The case bulges about a millimeter but it clicks closed and isn't very noticeable lined up. I was able to trim up the gba slot and fit it in side for a nice fit. I don't have a micro, but if someone wants to provide some source material I could make one up. I just took some action shots with my camera against some white paper and used whatever color that came out for the spine and back. So if you want it a different color use colored paper!

Well... The US "release" of the micro version of the adapter was shipped directly from Nintendo in little plastic baggies - so nothing to go from there.

The Japanese version, however, did get a boxed release... I've scanned it in, but my scan quality seems to... vary based on who's judging it. :D

I figure the text on your other cover should be fine - it's the official write-up from the blister pack for the adapter, after all.  Might need some tweaking to adjust for the fact that it only works on the micro though.

I would also like to ask for a black-spine version (of both covers) as well though. :D

That looks AWESOME!  Can't wait to see your re-do of the GBA/SP Wireless Adapter.  Check your e-mail for that higher resolution shot.  Photobucket shrinks down anything that's too high resolution, so I sent you the original scan.

I like it.  Two questions though.  First, any particular reason that you removed the standard "Game Boy Advance" bar on the left of the front cover?  Second, have you considered shrinking the GBA and adding the blue "Wireless Signal" lines like what's on the micro cover?
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: gator on May 09, 2011, 11:40:57 AM
I went back and forth quite a bit on the bar. Ultimately went with the minimalist approach, and I was doing everything in vectors, beside the actual shot of the adapters. But I can definitely see it both ways though, not real happy with the transition between the spine and front cover and adding the bar would cover that. I actually kind of forgot about the blue wave lines when putting together the gba version. If I add them, ill need to use a different picture because it would look really weird at the angle I am using in the current cover.

Grrr...

So, I got some covers printed up today.  Reprinted my Tetris covers (and got a third printed, as I found a copy of GB Tetris for fifty cents at a Goodwill and felt sorry for it), printed the AR Games cover (so sweet!), and the Wireless Adapter covers I needed (four GBA, two GBm)...

[spoiler](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/TheUncleBob/0514012315.jpg)[/spoiler]

Except that the Game Boy micro's adapter won't fit inside of a DS case... period.  I *could* modify two together similar to the WarioWare Twisted! case, but that seems like a waste.  Although, since I have two Game Boy micro adapters, I could probably come up with something that holds both inside of two cases... hmmm...

Damn, yeah, I really like these. They remind me of the Trainer's Guides that came with Red/Blue/Yellow. Very nice, man. You should make covers in this style for all of the Pokemon games. I would definitely use these if I didn't already have all my Pokemon games cased with nicely matching spines.

Nintendo online store. If you're crafty, go check out your local GameStop stores, and see if they sell their used DS games in the original cases, or if they just put the cartridges in a glass container. The the latter is the case, then talk to the guy behind the counter. All of the GameStops around where I live just THROW THE CASES AWAY when people trade their complete DS games in. I think it's a ridiculous waste, but it happens a lot. Last time I went into my local GameStop, I asked if they got any DS game trades in and walked out of the store with a cardboard box filled with 50+ DS cases. That's easily the best/cheapest way to get cases, and everyone benefits. At the end of the day, it's one less thing for the employees to bring to the dumpster, you get your cases that you wanted so badly, and the cases are saved from spending an eternity in a landfill.

Everyone wins! ;D

I see, that's a great way to get my DS games in cases. The issue I'm seeing is that I want to buy cases that I can put the GB games into AKA Pokemon Blue, Red, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Super Mario Land, so on and so forth. Where would I get those type of Gameboy cartridge cases? ;D

The great Pokemon covers being made go me wanting to revisit my old Pocket Monster covers too. The old ones I made used the retail scans (mostly) so this time around i thought i'd try out some custom versions. I've only made one cover so far to see how receptive everyone is to it and to get some opinions.  I wanted to still use the original text from the box but reformat it to look like more modern day Pokemon covers.

Pokemon Red

Also, giving you guys a heads up this cover's spine should match up next to the DS pokemon covers. I really wanted the pokemon games to line up nicely without the need to completely recreate the DS versions as well.

As always, tell me what you think!  ;D

Yeah, I gotta say I'm with him. I honestly think that the way the spines look with your covers now (with the Pokemon logo, and then the version name to the right of it in that "Red Version" style font [from the front cover]) looks best. Stating the name twice is kinda weird, I don't know why the latest games are doing that. :\

Yeah looks stupid, but Shenke said that he wants them line up with the new ones, but doesn't want to redo the new ones.

But on the other hand I think the B & W spines look so wierd that they should be redone to match other DS spines.

Yes, its out of the question. If you want the other spine style then you can use the one's i already have on the site.  I don't want to have 10 alternates for every cover, i'm keeping it to a minimum.

I personally didn't like the style at first either but it has grown on me, perhaps it will grow on the rest of you too.

Just do copy, edit & paste to write those few words.

And looks same except Font used on covers is hollow where as the font you linked is solid.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I figured, "What better place than the Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread for a DS cover of older games?"

See, I have the raw for the Game and Watch Collection (US) that we seem to be lacking on this site (We only have the Japanese one). Two things though: 1) my level of photoshop skills isn't as high as I'd like and 2) The raw is rather... crooked. I was wondering if any of you would like to tackle cleaning it up, so it could be uploaded to the site.

Here's the link to the raw. (http://www.box.net/shared/6gj3ydphadtj2cxff23x)

Total redo from scratch would be better option.

Metroid covers, anyone? For the life of me, I couldn't find the artwork used for Zero Mission's box, so I just made my own based off of the Japanese version of the box. I also made cassette sized versions for those who use g0sub's method. (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=5827.0)

Thank you for the cassette covers!  I snagged the Zero Mission one for when I actually find a copy of it.

The cover we currently have on the site for this one is complete garbage and need to be replaced. It may actually be one of the worst (quality wise) that somehow accidentally got added to the site.  I couldn't find anything retail for this game so i went the custom route.

(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/1840/dmgpreee.jpg)

This was based off the EU box scans. Back looks a bit plain so I'm gonna spice it up. What do you think!????

EDIT: Finally decided to vector the "blasts" and the little gameboy guy on the top right (got a couple more text styles to do i.e. link, multiplayer etc. &the one that belongs on the front of the box.)

Was this ever finished? I actually have 2 or 3 extra 12-disc cases laying around from my DVD recasing projects and I'd love to box my Gameboy while I wait for UGCs to become available.

And has anyone attempted a similar cover based on the original trippy neon hands box?

I was contemplating working on another Legend of Zelda custom cover, and maybe get more use out of that gold pattern I found, when it occured to me: why don't we have a gold-colored Golden Sun cover? For that matter, why don't we have any custom Golden Sun Covers? So I set out to do just that. And then I realized why no one has tackled a custom Golden Sun cover: It's almost impossible to find high resolution art for the game. Even fanart is hard to come by. So I went with a design that is less my style, and more minimalistic. I think it came out all right this way.

Unfortunately, my preview program is in the external that currently isn't working, so I have no preview. Here's the preview:

The Mega Man covers are nice, but the "Nintendo" logos need to be changed to "Capcom".
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: wiggy on March 04, 2012, 10:24:54 PM
I think that's just part of the template.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: Seraph Man on March 04, 2012, 11:41:32 PM
I like the image used for the Mega Man covers, and I like the idea of using the same basic title. However, the title looks... off. Especially on the front with the image, the title looks like it could use a little more attention. Plus, having the roman numeral under the title instead of part of it makes the numerals look more like an afterthought.

I'm not trying to put it down, and I know I've been picky about Mega Man titles as of late, but I really think a little more time spent on the titles would do a world of good. The subtitle for the first one, "Dr. Wily's Revenge," would probably look better if it were closer to the main title (it should be at least partially over the red), though that one does look good beneath the title, as it's a subtitle. As for the numerals, they should be right in the title, next to the name. The numeral could also benefit from the border the rest of the letters have.

EDIT: I feel I should formally apologize for my comment which has been marked in red. I thought you had created your own Mega Man title to look similar to another title, instead of getting an official title. After doing a quick search myself, I see that you did indeed find an official title. It still looks off, but I blame Capcom for the bubble letters style that's in complete contradiction to every other Mega Man title logo they've produced.

Wow, wiggy those look really good.
But too bad they don't use the template I used, so they won't fit my other GB games...

And thanks guys for the feedback on my covers. I totally agree on you. The logo was something I also was not really happy about.
So thanks Seraph Man for the pointers how I could improve them. If I have the time I will try to make the logo's better ;)

Thanks! ;D

I can up the PSDs for you if you'd like and you can apply your own template.  Let me know, it's no bother for me to do so ;)


The logo issue is a big one with MM games for me.  There are SOOOOO many different logos for the games, and finding good quality versions of all of them can be a total PITA.  That's why I just went ahead and made my own title that I use for all the MM games (much to Seraph's dismay :P)

I don't mind that you made your own title. Hell, I love the idea of uniform titles throughout. I just don't like the design you came up with. It just looks so... generic. It doesn't suit my taste, but that's just me. Doesn't change the fact that these covers are pretty sweet.

Then I'd HAVE to buy them.  I promised myself that I wouldn't make cases for games I don't have when I did that Mario Advance box set.  I didn't have Mario Advance 3 (Yoshi's Island) when I made it, and it felt like I was cheating putting it on my shelf.  I bought a copy on Amazon the next day.

Cool, then Ill upload the couple that Ive had finished for a while. I was under the impression that shenske was going to update the template sometime. Its missing things like the purple shadow behind the Virtual Boy logo on the front and the pink squigly lines that go with the red half of the cover.

I did some digging, and found out that all were created by manson976.

BTW V-Tetris is Custom cover from Japanese version made to look like US version (never released in US), original is black, I have raws somewhere.

He also had these, I just can't find the links, but I'll see if I have them stored:

Hey I'm Back!

I decided to try a new approach to the design.

I hate this shit.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: Arseen on March 13, 2012, 06:37:10 AM
First of all the New/Old version definition is not official, it's just what I call

Old format is the one the yesterday posted Galactic Pinball cover and Symptoms0fMercy's covers use:
- The green images on blue area are blurry and over all bad looking IMHO.
- There are clear breaks where back and spine & front and spine meet.

The New Format is the one manson976 created and uses in his covers:
- The green parts were replaced with clean ones (he used map of world as it matches quite well with the old lines).
- The breaks are removed
- Blue/red background colors are more vibrant
- He also added extra images to the back (the covers with word plus in the name)

(Space Invaders seem to use bit different red parts, and 3D Tetris seems to have extra artefact over the honey comb on the front)

manson976 created the template to replace the bad old one when nobody else did altough few had promised.
The template is not published, but hopefully he will release it if requested

->

I here by request the template!

Please and thank you.

Question, in Imandix Cover Pro, how do you get render DS cases?
Just use a custom dimensions case and put in the front dimensions in mm and the spine width as well.
Then save it as a custom template.

Then we should use the new design as our new template. Is it finished and usable? Then we could just take it and replace the virtual boy part in shenskes universal nintendo handhelds template with it. But only if it's organized (in groups + layers) and usable in ps.

Ort maybe shenske the man himself updated his old template?

I'm actually a bit pissed at the moment as I invested some hours yesterday to make the vb cover and now I basically can do it again when the "new" template surfaces if ever....

This I've asked many times and that's why I requested it first thing on my VB request list.
It was read, and some people Shenske included promised the updated template.

This is what I was talking about. I mentioned the template beeing updated a few months back, and I remember shenske mentioning that he would get to it. Then he had his harddrive issues and I think he probably forgot all about it. Thats why I never submitted the covers I had finished because Id just have to update them to the new template anyway. Maybe since this is up in the air again, we can finally get that update and get this VB ball rolling.

another reason why i think all games should be released without region locks and in multple language formats  some things would never get released outside of japan  ( like Namco X Capcom ) which means you either have to a. import ( and find translation notes online) b. go without or c. hope someone fan translates  and releases it across the web ( which is bootlegging , not cool )

International copyright law is a bitch.  Which is both the reason that there were region lockouts on almost every console for decades (even if it was just plastic tabs that wouldn't let you insert a cartridge into a system of a different region), and why there are no lockouts on most modern consoles.  

On one hand it's super, SUPER difficult to enforce international copyright.

On the other hand it's super, SUPER difficult to enforce international copyright.

You can either fight infringement like crazy, or you can just say 'fuck it', as it's absolutely not worth all the headache since it solves almost nothing and ends up costing a LOT of money for that giant heap of nothing.

supposedly itsthe game companies who are pushing for region locks more than the console makers which i dont understand , if i buy a legitimate copy of a game from any region its still the parent company who sees the profit, unless it was used . it just never made sense to me,ive imported games on gamecube, ps2, ds, Saturn, and psp (mostly fighting titles, no reading needed) . and would have bought more  if they were easily available. sp the parent company would have made more profit in the long run
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: sheep2001 on March 17, 2012, 12:26:01 PM
it's becasue the companies have different regional budgets.  so if sony america spend 2 million advertising a game, and you buy the game in europe, then sony america do not see the profit, and the money they spent on advertising is effectively wasted.  Yes sony corp as a whole still see the profit, but the company is just to0 large to look at the big picture - they need the geographic divisions to all be viable markets.

I finally updated the template to include a much needed revision of the Virtual Boy.  I can go into more detail later. You can download the new template from the templates page. I am also putting up the fianl touches on the EU case template. Its going to be a beast of a template.  ;D

Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons

I did these in a semi-retail custom sort of thing. Basically it's custom, but I tried to emulate the look of the retail releases fairly closely. I guess the idea is similar to what Shenske did with his Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2 covers. They'll be uploaded to the site's servers in just a moment or two. In the mean time, I've included links to the full size version beneath the preview images.

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3361389/covers/agespre.jpg)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3361389/covers/oracleseasons.jpg

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3361389/covers/oraclespre.jpg)

Certain details such as the spine logos took a lot longer than you'd expect. I couldn't figure out a way to get the weird "printer running out of ink" effect to work on the background of the front, so I ended up going with this different sorta "tree bark" looking effect, which I feel suits the games a little better anyway.

Anyhow, I hope you like it!

Hopefully this doesn't come across as a "me too" request.  If no one has started work on a retail WarioLand Virtual Boy cover I'd like to call dibs on that one. I found some great scans for it and was hoping to test somethings with my EU Case size template with it (I don't want my time cleaning the art up to be wasted  ;D )

Man, at least properly trim and fit the damned covers.  Also, looks like cheapo paper to me. 


For the prices that he's selling these at, I should sell some of my customs. He's sold 7 Earthbound covers so far at 10 bucks a pop.  That's like 6-7 bucks worth of material between the UGCs and paper, plus like 10 minutes of time to print and cut.  Shit, that's insane.

Yeah actually that's a really old photo (over a year old now!) that we've been meaning to update for some time.  We've been working hard to refine the cutting process and DO actually use much heavier paper now.

I also think it's interesting that this was brought up immediately following a post I made containing DS covers for download.

"Actual Product Photographs - NOT stock images!"

This quote from the auction seems to conflict heavily with that statement.  Unless of course you are selling off year-old products that don't even meet your current standards.

That's exactly how I feel. 


Materials:


Doing the math, we come up with $7.70 for the cases (let's figure 8.00 to include shipping costs).  If he's printing on legal size, then he can easily get 3 covers per sheet.  Looks like the cheapest "photo" paper that you can get at ol' Staples to me.  So, based on what I can find, it would be about 12 bucks for 100 sheets.  That comes out to .04 per cover for the paper.  Let's be REALLY generous and say he's using a pricey 7 color inkjet (he's not), so the price of ink per page is .40.

So we're at $8.44 for materials. 

Labor:

Open print-ready files, load paper, select 'print'.  This would take me about 1 minute, tops.  Maybe he's running a Windows ME machine with 512MB of RAM and Photoshop 4.  Let's give him about 5 minutes to open each file (there should be 4 total for the Pokemon covers).  Five minutes to remember where he left the pack of paper and then load it.  Then we'll figure another 5 minutes of spool time for the prints (we'll count this as labor).

I'd spend about 2-3 minutes cutting those 11 covers out, even less if they're all properly aligned on the page so that I could cut all three with just 6 cuts instead of 8, 10, or 12 if they're scattered about the page.  Again, I'll be generous and assume he and his wife are cutting them with a pair of old, dull, left-handed scissors (which seems accurate based on the images).  Using that method I could see it easily taking about 25 minutes or so to cut them all out.  Then we'll allot 5 minutes to squish them all into the DS cases.

So we're at about 1 hour for labor, and that's EXTREMELY generous.

He includes free shipping. Let's give him $7.00 in shipping fees.

I calculate about $10.00 of eBay/paypal fees per sale.


With all of that figured in, he's making about 50 bucks for each one of those sets he sells.  Even if we assume that it does indeed take him an hour to produce each of those sets, then he's STILL making a killing.  Realistically, it probably takes half that.  So, he's making about 100 bucks an hour selling that shit. 


I hope I don't see any of my covers pop up on his page.  I would absolutely ruin his monopoly on the market with a price point that is entirely unprofitable.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: wiggy on May 10, 2012, 02:36:51 PM
We DO actually make new covers for our cases.  No - not all of them.  But we do give explicit credit to The Cover Project (including a link) on our home page.  We are semi-regular contributers to this site.  Lately we've been working on stuff we can't sell (too new) and have been posting it to these forums for anyone to download.

We also regularly send people to these forums when they e-mail us and ask about volume discounts, etc.  We tell them that they're better off buying the cases themselves in bulk and printing the covers.

While the price may seem outrageous to you, you are not our target customer for this service.  Anyone who has sold on eBay will understand that the fees from eBay, Paypal, and the postal service are quite high.  We offer free shipping on all US orders.  We believe that the price of our service is fair. 

Obviously we are not the only people doing this, we've just been around the longest.  With all of the hate we get around here it's a wonder we continue posting any of our new designs at all...

I understand perfectly.  See my previous post.  Your prices are absurd.

Nobody's twisting your arm with regards to hosting "your" covers..  If you didn't post your own covers (if they are your own at all), then I'm pretty sure we'd get along just fine.

I can't speak for everyone, but I wouldn't be sad to see you removed from this forum with a healthy dose of IP addy ban.

I finally got a cart of this game and had a pretty beat up box lying around also so it was time to do a cover!

The oens on our site are not only for the wrong region (in my case) but also lack high quality sources!!!

They desperately need to be updated so if anyone feels to do it please go ahead! We need a high quality US and JP retail cover to go alongside with my newly made PAL version!

I modified the Australian cover that was on the site.
Judging by the GameFaqs image, all I have to do is remove some text - "Australian pat. pend." under copy right, change some TM to (R) the (RO3) after AAA, remove the rumble box in the corner and change the catalog # to make it NTSC. I'll go do that now.

I couldn't find a cover for Battletoads on Game Boy so I made my own custom cover. I tried to get it to look as close to the retail cover as I could. Unfortunately I couldn't find a good quality picture of the mountains and starry sky that was used for the retail background so instead it's just the same color as the sky that was used. I thought it turned out rather well. I was going to upload it to the site but it seems that Battletoads isn't an option for Game Boy games.  :-\

This is a custom cover for Duke Nukem, I couldn't find any good scans of the box so I tried to emulate it or at least get the same feel. It took forever to find a picture of the back cover so I could figure out what it was that was written on there, luckily I found a picture of the back on eBay. :)

If you wanted to go with the official cover, but not have the huge wireless link logo, you could probably use the Player's Choice version of the cover (modify the PC logo out, of course)

Probably need better pictures though...

thats a great idea!

Yep, but closer look reveals one major flaw that is easy to fix: The joining of the spine and back has ugly fold.
Just remove that, and those are usable.

To make them site worthy they need to be completely be redone, rewritten and cleaned.
Our site's current stantards are very strict and almost none of the GB covers posted would make it nowadays.

Anyway welcome to the site and keep practising.

And yes this is correct topic to post your ready covers.

Alright, thanks for the replies! I'll definitely remove that fold, I see it now that you mention it. For the retyping, I should just remove all the text and retype it?

Edit: Or do you mean that I should sample that green, fill the back with it, and then recreate it with cleaner text and all that?

I'm going to assume you used photoshop. These could help you.

Quick and dirty tutorials:
Clone Stamp

Spot Healing tool.

Levels, Brightness and contrast.

Alright, so I scrapped the entire back and replaced the color. Then I retyped all the stuff (in Times New Roman, is there a standard font I should use?) and arranged it to look like the retail box. Does this look any better?

Sure does.

One more thing that you could have fioxed easily was to wipe the spine clean too and use the logo you used on the back resized on the spine.
Now the spine logo still shows the artefacts that you cleaned from the back and part of the spine. ;)

Good work. 8)

Alrighty, fixed the spine and changed to Arial. I like that one better - it looks more like a game and less like a book report haha. So would a cover like this be site worthy? Hopefully my next ones will be much more efficient!

Now if I were to upload this to the site (I jumped the gun a few days ago with my crappy ones), would I just submit it under the closest name for that system?

Just like the last few covers I posted in various threads, this one isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination - but it was one I needed in a hurry and can't really wait for any of the good artists to create this because it sits on my shelf naked  :). So if you are someone like me, it's in my box.net account for the taking...

The great Pokemon covers being made go me wanting to revisit my old Pocket Monster covers too. The old ones I made used the retail scans (mostly) so this time around i thought i'd try out some custom versions. I've only made one cover so far to see how receptive everyone is to it and to get some opinions.  I wanted to still use the original text from the box but reformat it to look like more modern day Pokemon covers.

Pokemon Red

Also, giving you guys a heads up this cover's spine should match up next to the DS pokemon covers. I really wanted the pokemon games to line up nicely without the need to completely recreate the DS versions as well.

As always, tell me what you think!  ;D

I'd thought I bump this since I really love the style and work that went into "modernizing" the classic Pokemon GameBoy games. I'd really love to see shenske or someone redo Pokemon Gold, Silver & Crystal like this, since those covers are abit bland, abit low res and outdated  :)

Thanks, that will hopefully speed up the process a bit. I got some covers in the works, I got SMB Deluxe and Zelda Oracle of Seasons done, I'll post them soon. I am curently working on Oracle of Ages, I got some higher quality scans then whats on the site but they need some work. I also got some scans for Mega Man Xtream 2.

Holy Ra, those are stunning, can't wait to see Crystal version! Excellent work Shenske!  ;)

Also I wanted to ask you wouldn't happen to have the RAWS for Red, Green, Blue and Yellow would you? I just noticed an error, it's not a big error, but if you wanted to correct them, the Cascade & Bolder badges should be switched around.
Bolder (grey octagon) would be first and Cascade (water droplet) would be second. Although Misty probably prefers it the way you have it  :P

If not it's no biggie, they still look astounding!

First is a minor one, there's no space between continueswith in the top paragraph, and second, Crystal version can't be played on the original game boy, so the bit on the back about the Game Boy Color is wrong.

Yeah, I do plan on it. I have some other covers i have committed to doing prior to starting those ones up. To be honest it may not start up until after the holidays.  Retail holidays can be very time consuming especially considering my workload will dramatically increase soon (in a good way).

I wasn't planning on it. AppleQueso made a Warioland cover in a similar style to mine a while back. His line up with mine.

I'm making some famicom Rockman covers first. Possibly the GBA Pokemon games to follow.  I've been reworking a bunch of NES game spines for persona use over the past few months as well.  I have no idea how much free time i'll actually have this holiday since it will be my first as SM with this company.

Very nice, Shenske! I wasn't even aware that existed lol.  :P

Do you still have your work files for your recent Pokémon Red - Crystal covers and other similar covers like Tetris and Super Mario Land 1 & 2? I was trying to adapt your covers to the new 3DS case size, but the spines came out squished because I can't really rearrange what you made without messing it up.

I'd really like to keep your style for those games in my collection. Any chance you could adapt those spines to fit the 3DS template in the topic in this sub forum? It's really just the spines that need modification.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: shenske on January 12, 2013, 11:17:29 PM
Another one to the unofficial list. I chose Crystal Onix on the front because Celebi clashed too much with the orange color and i'm not even 100% Celebi is even catchable in this hack. Wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to put an uncatchable pokemon on the front of the box. I think Pokemon Crystal Shards will be the next one on my list.  :)

Looks good, just a thought, I made a better GBA side banner from a non-scanned image, I also have better ESRB logos in my 3DS template:
http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=11846.0
The non widened GBA one is in the other stuff folder. The widened one reduces the amount a cover has to be stretched in a DS cover.

I got it included in the Pokemon ShinyGold i purchased on ebay. Pass on it. Don't even worry about google'ing it.  Its a hack of Pokemon Ruby and virtually nothing is different. The only difference is you get a fake Pokemon named Frigo given to you by a guy at the PokeMart. Its not even a cool Pokemon just a weird looking ice Pokemon that doesn't evolve.  :'(

No updates yet. Work has been insanely busy lately. I have also bee sick a lot so thats no help. 
I'll need to reexamine ruby/sapphire/emerald 's art that i have for it. I would really prefer not to have rework on the front.  If you by chance have any of these boxes and would be willing to scan them @600dpi it would make my life much easier.

I'll need to reexamine ruby/sapphire/emerald 's art that i have for it. I would really prefer not to have rework on the front.  If you by chance have any of these boxes and would be willing to scan them @600dpi it would make my life much easier.


Sadly I was a dumb child and threw all my boxes out when I bought my games :( I'll try to get a hold of them however and send them your way if I can

Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (NTSC-U)

Is it cool for me to post a cover I made in here? 'Cuz here it is. I used some raw scans provided by Forte a while back. I intend to make covers for the other GB Mega Man games as well (since the old ones on the site are in desperate need of updating), so I'll start with this one. Please let me know how I can improve this one and I'll use that knowledge to better the others. On the other hand, if you like it, lemme know and feel free to use it.

EDIT: Temporarily down due to fixing a couple of minor errors, and possibly even updating to match the new 3DS template.

Shenske's Pokémon series are custom covers, so he's not trying to adhere exactly to the official box art. I like that it isn't the same, since it adds to the spectrum of colors in the whole set.

Good, this was on purpose.

Ruby will also have a slight purple hue to it as well when compared to Red. My emerald cover will have a slight blueish hue to it too.

All the Pokemon covers i make use different colors so they make a gradient when printed out (as seen in the last preview picture in my previous post).  If i didn't do this we would have 3 blue and 3 red Pokemon games (not including diamond, pear, x or y). I simply didn't want them to look all the same and have a big block of the same color.

Speaking of - great work on those covers, Shenske! This is one of my favorite cover sets. And I blame you for getting me into those *ahem* questionable entries.  :P

I hope you'll someday tackle the stranger hacks like Perla, Quartz, DarkCry, and ChaosBlack. (If you do ChaosBlack, I'd suggest something like Mewtwo for the cover, rather than...Chaos...from Sonic... ::) )

I've also heard there are Brown, Jade and (Creepy)Black carts for GB/C/A out there, but I've never found them.

I understand why you did it, and I like the hue that Ruby is in, but I have to agree that the sapphire cover looks so purple-y. I haven't printed it, but I can tell just by looking at it. If there wasn't a bluesea version, I'd suggest making blue the shade bluesea is in, and make sapphire the shade blue is currently in. Still, it's a beauty of a case.

Do you plan on making variant covers for Heart Gold and Soul Silver as well? Not that I'm requesting it. Just curious if you plan on actually tackling the DS games. Especially with B/W/B2/W2, since color variation would be more restricting.

I've spent the last couple of weeks in between work shifts working on this set of covers. I realize that this work probably seems all for naught since everyone seems eager to transition over to 3DS-sized covers, but I was already more than halfway done with these before the idea of using 3DS cases really started picking up steam. Oh well, having all of this work already done will make it easy for me to transition them over.

I didn't stretch any of the original cover scans. I just re-sized them enough to fit the main details of the covers and moved them around until they looked good. Then I altered the cover art slightly (where needed) so I could remove the original Nintendo seals present on the scans and use the much nicer ones in the templates (plus keeping them all in the same place). I re-did all of the game logos myself to make them look really nice, and re-created the backs from scratch. All of the spines should also line up nicely on the shelf.

I put a lot of work into re-creating these for standard DS cases, and I hope that you like them. I'll eventually transition them over to 3DS covers, but these will stay available for those who want them. Cheers.

EDIT: Covers replaced with newer versions which have drop shadows on the edge of the silver Game Boy border on the front.

Not me. I have zero interest in using the 3DS size cases for anything besides 3DS games. I like the DS cases because they leave more space on the spine for art and are thick enough for large manuals.

Good job on the covers, look nice  :)

A quick query about my Mega Man covers that I'd like feedback on:

Some of my favorite GB covers (visually speaking) are Shenske's Pokemon covers and Super Mario Land covers, not to mention Lumberjack42's Zelda covers. All of these covers have a drop shadow on the edge of the silver "Game Boy" border on the front. I just realized that this is something I could easily add to my Mega Man covers.

Do you guys like the drop shadow on covers? If so, should my covers have them? I'm kinda on the fence; I'm not sure if it would benefit them at all. However, if that's something that people want, I can easily add it. Please let me know what you think.

Your call. I do it on all of mine since many GB/GBC/GBA silver bar on the front of the box have a drop shadow. I just tried to match that. It was more common in later games but i keep it on all for consistency sake.

Post by: AxelSteelBMX on June 03, 2013, 03:32:44 PM
I checked them out side-by-side and found that the ones with drop shadows seem to "pop" more, and just overall seem more visually appealing. So I've replaced the download links in my previous post with the newer versions of the covers, and will be incorporating drop shadows into all future Game Boy covers.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. ;D I've submitted them for consideration; I hope they get approved.

For me, the biggest draw for using 3DS cases would be the fact that original GB carts fit inside without any trimming needed (although they do need spacers to be stored properly). And although trimming DS cases isn't necessary for GBA games (assuming you're putting them in the old-style DS cases), fitting the instruction manuals inside still requires some trimming on the inside cover. I haven't yet dedicated my handheld collection to one format or the other; all of my GBA games are still in their original boxes where applicable, and all my old GB games are safely tucked away in a box. I'm still not sure which route to take.

I may just keep to this format as well, but the 3DS cover template is very nice and is set up in a such a way that re-sizing back covers no longer becomes an issue. There are tons of covers for GB and GBA alike that suffer from the re-sizing issue, and not having to worry about that anymore is an attractive prospect.  I think I might put together some kind of hybrid of the two, unless its creator/s beat me to it.

I had an idea a few days ago. We know that DS cases also have Gameboy Advance Slots, right? So why not take advantage of that? The only thing I could think of, was the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, which was released on both Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS.

(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/5194/7aksqy5rf7tn7gu6g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?7aksqy5rf7tn7gu)

Okay, I just wanted to show what I've been working on. This is a low-res copy of the next cover I'm working on. As you can see, right now I'm working on it within larryinc64's 3DS-size template. I intend to finish it once he releases the DS-sized version of his template. Although I had some decent scans to work off of for this one, I ended up having to recreate the entire cover due to certain visual elements not cleaning up well enough. As a result, it's not technically "retail" any more, but that's beside the point.

I'm looking for some pointers. The actual cover features a white grid over the yellow background like the one you see here. However, I can't figure out how to make the grid act like the one on the actual retail cover (bright and white in a radius around the logos/windows/character art and a little more faded and closer to yellow everywhere else; check the cover on the site to see what I'm talking about). I'm using GIMP as I am poor and cannot afford Photoshop. I think the cover, by this point, looks pretty good as-is, but it'd be better if I could re-create the effect I've described. Anyone skilled in image manipulation wanna give me some advice, pretty please?

Cheers.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: larryinc64 on June 19, 2013, 03:08:21 PM
Try making two layers, One plain yellow, other the grid with the yellow BG, use the eraser tool with the occupancy set lower and erase the parts were the white grid is less visible.

The art on the original seems to be over to the right more.

I'll see if I can make the DS template later this week.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: AxelSteelBMX on June 19, 2013, 03:46:45 PM
Yeah, you're absolutely right. I'll put some more work into it; I'll mess with different combinations of layers, adjust their opacities, and use erasing tools to get it to the point where it looks about right. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

The front art? Yeah, the retail cover is off to the right a bit more. But I had to rebuild the whole thing because there were lots of elements in the original scan that I couldn't clean up properly, and the front image was part of that. So I tracked down the artwork Capcom used for the cover, but there isn't a copy anywhere I could find that shows more of MegaMan's buster on the left side. The image you see is just barely under the GBA border overhang on the left and can't be moved over any further. But I also never liked the fact that everyone on the cover was off-center to begin with (Team Colonel has the same problem, and it's really odd to see MegaMan basically crowded mostly off of the cover of his own game), so even though it's not retail-perfect, I prefer the aesthetics of having the art properly centered. But if I can find another version of the cover art that has the left and right borders expanded, I'll make another version of the cover with the retail art orientation.

Thanks for your help.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: larryinc64 on June 19, 2013, 04:22:40 PM
One thing you can do is try to link up the new art with the scan, and try to blend them to fill in the missing parts.
That's what I do when I'm working with lower quality scans and have to combine 4 or so images to make one.

Some of the Bevel and Drop shadows on the GBA logos seem to be missing from your cover. probably a layer effect transition problem from Photoshop to Gimp. Try using one of my covers to fix it, I may make a simplified template soon to fix this in Gimp.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: AxelSteelBMX on June 19, 2013, 04:57:00 PM
Oh, that's interesting; I see what you mean about the bevels and drop shadows. I'll see if I can figure out what went wrong, but it may indeed be an issue when importing to GIMP, since I had to make my own drop shadow layer when I used Shenske's template to make my Mega Man GB covers.

I'll try to re-create the cover image as best as I can. Thanks.

Post by: larryinc64 on June 19, 2013, 06:17:46 PM
Just take one of my completed GBA covers, and over lay it, cutting out stuff not needed. Some drop shadows were normal layers, not layer effects, so that's probably why its still there.

Optimised For GIMP Version (https://www.box.com/s/9a7xrye04u3dkof7143z)

The Gimp Version merges the banners into one layer, removing drop Shadow and other layer effect problems.
I'll convert my 3DS covers to DS covers eventualy, If there are any requests, it will hapen sooner, for a full list of new 3DS covers, and the template itself, see the 3DS Template Cover Thread (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=11846.0).

Thanks to larryinc64's updated template, these two custom covers are now finished. I remade both of them almost completely from scratch, and there are a couple of differences between these covers and their retail versions. First, the art on the covers has been adjusted so that Lan is centered on the cover and there is a better balance between MegaMan and each version's respective team leader, but if there is enough demand, I will come back to these later and provide variants with the off-center cover art. I also took a couple of liberties with the back of the Team ProtoMan cover, and used art from that version's Navis arranged similarly to the back of the Team Colonel cover because I couldn't track down the resource necessary to make it retail-accurate. It's easy to not notice, but I'll be able to correct this if I can find the right piece of art later.

For now though, I'm really pleased with how these turned out, and I hope you like them as well. Cheers.

Did you use the Gimp version of the template (The smaller "Optimized For GIMP Version" link)?
Drop shadows and Bevels are missing again, except on the back for some reason.

Post by: AxelSteelBMX on June 23, 2013, 04:16:32 PM
Thanks. Yeah, I used the GIMP-optimized version and noticed that as well, so I just took your advice and used a copy of the bar on the back from the covers you've got in your Box account, so it turned out okay.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: larryinc64 on June 23, 2013, 04:28:43 PM
I'm confused on how that happened, are the bars broken into different layers? Like the Bar is on one layer, the logo on another.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: AxelSteelBMX on June 23, 2013, 05:10:18 PM
As it stands right now in the GIMP template, the bar is one layer and the text over it is two layers (GBA logo and (R), respectively). There is no drop shadow under the text and no shading on the bar.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: larryinc64 on June 24, 2013, 01:56:30 PM
I must have posted the wrong file, because the Gimp one compressed thous to one layer, converting the layer effect to a normal image.

Not much to say about this one. I cleaned the shit out of the best cover scan I could find, and ended up rebuilding the elements on the back cover that I couldn't clean up well enough. Take a look and let me know what you think, both the good and the bad. Cheers.

EDIT: I replaced this with an updated version; I messed up one digit on the UPC symbol, so I fixed it. I also sharpened the cover image a little bit.

The MM cover looks good, I'll see if I ca fix the template, I'll re upload it, because the file looks good on my part.

Curently working on converting all my 3DS covers to DS, going on down the line, some early 3DS covers need some touch ups and logos relapsed.
Crossed out names are done.

That was the older one I made, the front needs improvement, I'm going to use the GT scans as a base and change the box art to the Nicktoon games, I'm holding off on doing any more covers until my new laptop comes in, my current PC and its 1GB of ram is acting very slow lately.

I'm pretty pleased, overall, with how well this one cleaned up. Mainly how well the cover scan cleaned up. The back cover could be better, I think, but I cleaned it to the best of my ability, and it still looks pretty good. I'm sure I'll go back and make it better in the future, if someone else can conjure up a better back cover scan (please please please?). Anyway, anyone who wants to use this is welcome to it. Anyone who'd like to point out where I went wrong and how I can make it better is more than welcome to do so; in fact, I WANT you to.

Cheers.

Here Is a Custom Digimon Battle Spirit 2 Cover, Since the game was called Digimon Battle Spirit Frontier In japan, I decided to make a cover based off frontier.

I Couldn't find any scans for the game, and I couldn't even find a logo :(

Get it here! (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?mc7xxx64bhgc5b6)

I almost didn't even need a scan of the back or spine for this one. I'd been pointed in the direction of a very large scan of the front that needed to be cleaned up. I removed the moire and blended the cover image with the original source art to clean it up. The back and spine were remade from scratch; I used a scan of the back to figure out the relative size and positioning of everything, but otherwise it was all rebuilt (and yes, I'm aware the back shouldn't have a logo, but the original box just has that empty space there. It really looks like they just forgot to put a logo there and just said "fuck it", so I really feel like I'm cleaning up after them). I never was able to get a good scan of the spine, so I just found a photo someone took and rebuilt off of that visual. Despite the simple design, I'm pleased with how it turned out.

As always, please feel absolutely free to offer constructive criticism. Alternatively, let me know if you like it. I like just making these, but I also like knowing whether others are making use of them as well. Cheers.

EDIT: Fixed a small visual error on the front. What was it? YOU'LL NEVER KNOW MWAHAHAHAHA

I definitely will take advantage of your work. As far as I'm concerned, that logo should be there. I just wish the back wasn't so plain, and brown. But that's what the box is supposed to look like.

Get it here! (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?06xxhx36rp29nd2)

I took a break from my super-secret PS1 project to put the finishing touches on another GBA cover I had mostly-finished for the last few months. I used two different images for the front, cleaned them up as best as I could and then blended them together. The back (save for the MMZ3 logo and screenshot borders) was re-done nearly from scratch since the background would have made it nearly impossible to clean up the text properly, at least as far as my skill level goes. The spine was also re-done similarly. I had an internal battle deciding whether or not to include the little Zero pose on the spine. I would have had to have the logo off-center if it was included, and I didn't like the way it looked that way, so I've opted to leave it off for now. Perhaps I'll return to it later and give that another go, but for now I feel like this cover is very much finished.

Would you like to offer some constructive criticism? Go right ahead; I'm a big boy, I can take it. Would you like to use this cover? Go right ahead; that's what it's there for. Cheers!

(http://oi43.tinypic.com/2nm2h40.jpg)

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=de17uq&s=5

So how does it look? The spine looks funky because the game was still sealed in plastic, but I think it's better than nothing. As for the ESRB logo, does anyone know what font to use for the ESRB logos? I didn't know it so I just left the ESRB logo out instead.

So how did I do?

I had an idea a few days ago. We know that DS cases also have Gameboy Advance Slots, right? So why not take advantage of that? The only thing I could think of, was the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, which was released on both Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS.

A simple cover, but it gets the job done. Any thoughts? Things to add or change?

I guess you could do that but it looks ugly to be honest.

So, I decided to clean up my list of uncovered Game Boy games, so I sat down and made a few that didn't turn out half bad IMO.  While none of these are site quality (with one possible exception, Golf) (and I lack the skills to improve them to that point), they might help someone trying to cover their collections, so I'm posting them anyway.  Most used cover scans scrounged from the internet, so they're of dubious quality (thanks esp. to Moby Games, where I got most of them), but Golf was put together by VideoGameTrader on this site (it just needed a few elements resized), so it actually has quality images.

I have made four Game Boy Advance covers for 3DS cases.

Link to my Box.net: https://app.box.com/s/hote51vbfehfqo0yu5j0

Superman Returns: Fortress of Solitude
Uno 52
Uno Free Fall
Wolfenstein 3D

I am going to be working on more Game Boy Advance covers. I will make another post when I have more done.

In case none of the more talented cover makers come in and make one, here's a usable Pong, Asteroids and Yars' Revenge cover.

First time I've used Photoshop to make a cover from start-to-finish, I usually use Paint Shop Pro. So I'm not really sure where to find a lot of the tools I'd usually use.

I might play with it some more to see if I can clean up the box damage, if not I'll go back into PSP and see if I can fix it up in there.

Anyway, in case I get distracted and never get around to that, here's the cover so far.

@ST Graveyard: I hope you are aware that none of your covers will make it to the site. You use low res sources, the covers are unclean, blurry and pixelated. If those covers would have used good sources and were cleaned properly they would have been a welcomed addition to our site.
Title: Re: Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread
Post by: ST Graveyard on May 25, 2014, 01:25:10 PM
Hello Tektektak,

I understand. I don't have the boxes myself, I have to use what I find on the net. I don't have time, nor the skills or patience to start cleaning the artwork all up. I'm making these covers for my own collection and they look real good to me using my 3DS boxes. I'm aware these are far from perfect, but I'm still sharing them should there be others like me who have (I guess) a lower standard than the ones on this site :-)

Here is another one I made, not cleaned, but it looks damn good coming out of my printer ;-)

Here we go again.  There are a shit ton of shit covers on the site.  They were added before quality control was tightened.  We no longer add shit covers.

Tiktektak was pointing out that yours won't pass quality checks.  It was a friendly nudge to hopefully get you to up your game.  He did the same to me, and many other artists on the site. 

If you are happy with these covers, great, others may like them too.  But no more low quality stuff gets added to the main site.

So, I was looking at my Gameboy collection and noticed that all of my games had the black spine (which I like better) except for three.  Anyway, I then went ahead and converted those three using covers already hosted by TCP.  My thanks to the artists who created the original covers that I used.

Here they are for anyone who prefers the black spine like me.
