Title: Request for Shadowfox SEGA Genesis cases.
Post by: Madducky on November 18, 2015, 07:57:15 PM

I've noticed that the majority if SEGA Genesis cases are only available in UGC size and not standard Genesis case size.

Is there a way to easily convert from UGC to Genesis size?

I'm sure there will be a larger influx of people needed covers for the Genesis sized cases.

If you print your cover through Photoshop and select "print to fit" on 8.5 x 11. It should be the exact size of a Genesis Case. You can get a copy of photoshop on the photoshop for noobs thread.

Thanks for the suggestion, but not being a photoshop owner; I was hoping for another way.

Okay, I must be really blind!

I only see a link and product key for Windows.

That would be so awesome, And if I ever run Windows on my Mac, I just may do that.

But until then, I guess I'll just be quiet.

You should be able to get a free copy of Photoshop CS2 for Mac on the official Adobe website. Or just use a trial copy of the latest version for 14 days and just print out all your copies within that period.

I'm sure the method already mentioned works fine, but I thought I share what I was doing.  I printed off several covers last night that were originally sized for UGCs.  I manually changed the dimensions to 10.625" x 6.75" and everything fit perfectly.

I will also mention that when you print this way, the stretching is very minimal.  If you change the width to 10.625 and keep the same ratio, the height will be something close to 6.6 or something around there.  I don't have it in front of me right now, but it's very close. 

Oh and by the way, the Shadowfox cases look really good with new covers in them.  :)
