Just out if curiosity, is this just like the bit boxes out now or are these going to be a closer resemblance to the UGC's?
Cleaned up. The BitBox case type has been added to our database. ;D
EDIT:
Here is an example of what the BitBox covers look like lined up. I have been converting there over for some time now. The spines have been reworked or tweaked in almost all of them to get them lined up and looking nice. I have also been making sure that the developer logos are the the same size.

Chris did e-mail me back and did say that he doesn't see the issue. If you want to confirm this with him you can. He also said he will be or did add BitBox NES Game Cases to the cover art database. I am not sure if anyone can confirm this or not. I did upload some art a few days ago, but still don't see it on the site.
P.S. It would be nice if mods remove all posts on this thread not related to the game cases.

If snow is fine with it I am too. It is not as easy as you may think to add bitbox covers to the database though. Seems like shenske is your man on this one though so maybe he can help you out and adds them.

Wouldn't adding BitBox to the database be far too time consuming? And would it be for every single NES game currently in the database? I can't imagine it being easy

It's been going on for a while. I'll have a total of 500 of them done in a few days ;)
And how exactly will that work? If, say for example, I click on the cover "Super Mario Bros. 3" under the NES games, will there be an option to download one for a BitBox case?

Check these 2 Sonic covers:
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=7149
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=11254
See where it says case type?
For first it's Universal Game Case
Second is Genesis originasl case.
The covers have to individually made.
But is the way to tel the difference.

I know. I'm no rookie ;)Yeah I know but still I see wrongly named new covers from time to time (don't know who's doing it). It's long overdue that we get some more possibilities working on already posted stuff.
Shenske, would you be willing to do requests for certain BitBox covers? I'm interested in making a fairly large order of BitBoxes but there's about 15 games I'm interested in that don't appear to have BitBox versions of the covers yet. Some of these are fairly popular games too like Kid Icarus, Marble Madness, and Super C.
The fact that Bit Boxes hang over the edge of a standard CD/DVD shelf really eliminates any interest from me.

Is there a picture of what the game looks like inside of the case?
My main beef with the BitBox cases is the edges being "stuck out" like an old VHS case, instead of flat like almost everything else. Also, they're too tall by about an inch; was either aspect a deliberate design choice? If so, why?

Any plans to offer a full print of cases and cover art in one order for a discount? Or would we just have to place several smaller orders?
It would be very appealing to be able to order an entire set of something at a time. (Color Dreams, Tengen, unlicensed, Licensed)
Thanks,

Just a heads up, we will be having an Easter sale this weekend, from the 19th to the 21st. BitBoxes will be 10% off during this time.
I thought shenske uploaded all the covers in bitbox format, where can I find those?
StoneAgeGamer, what kind of paper do you guys use for your prints? I was pleased to discover that it was better than standard printer paper, and I'd like to use the same kind of paper for some of my custom prints.
Are there any plans to make a custom Bitbox cover using the original retail art of Mega Man 1, as ZealousD mentioned earlier?

I didn't even realize it wasn't done, I will see what we can do.

Cool! Is this it?
I have ALOT of covers that are not on the site, but were uploaded to the forums if you'd like to covert those as well..
They are ALL hosted here..

I have a thread going about whats still missing and what we have at least something for at this time. I'm sure there is more that has been uploaded but not approved (possibly) http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=16139.0
You may want to create a Microsoft Account and upload all the covers to onedrive. There is no download limit, it's free, and users can choose what they want to download and get them as zips. :) Check it out! or I could create one and copy everything over.
I have made 2 so far to create archives for some projects for ease of downloading and working between multiple machines.

Yes it would be great to get some of the non-TCP art converted. Shenske was the one who handled the TCP conversions, maybe he can provide a template or something.
The art I have up on this DropBox is free to distribute. Yes I paid to get it done, but I don't hold the copyright to it and really I want people to have it. This is business DropBox account, so I don't think there are any download limits on it. Granted its still in trial so maybe the trial does. But once the trial ends I can't imagine there would be limits on it.
You can zip up files with DropBox, but I think it may only be directories, no specific files.
So yeah if people want to upload this art to their own file server or sites I have no problem with it.
We have had a few complaints about the print quality we offer, especially lately. As time goes on and we continued to struggle with quality from our printer we decided to purchase a new printer. Below you can see the difference between our old printer and our new printer.OLD PRINTER:

Does anyone have the BitBox template available to share? I'd like to take a shot and making a few that are missing from their store.
Which paper do you guys use to print? Could you be specific on Brand ? I see its matte paper. I currently use Epson 3 Star Matte paper (Legal size). Prints are excellent, but I'm not sure if its heavy enough. It gets little tedious to slide the cover in once hitting the bottom.

They are actually on the truck heading to us. The 10% back order discount will end once we get them back in stock, so I suggest ordering ASAP.

Freight company scheduled them to arrive next Wednesday, but we have quite a few back orders so it may take a week or so to get them all out the door.

I asked shenske for template he used. He is the one who did all original NES art.
awesome, I'm going to try my hand at these!
edit: looks like you linked to the famicom version, do you have a link for the NES one?
