Title: Request for Cartridge Label Cover
Post by: FiveJay on February 08, 2018, 01:55:59 PM
Looks like many of these scans are for boxes, which is very cool! But I just ordered a game with a crappy cartridge label so I could get it at a steep discount. Does anyone do GameBoy Advance scans for cartridge labels? I’m looking for a label for “Medabots” (the RPG adventure, not the arena “AX” game) in the Gold Metabee version. Any of you out there able to help me?

Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color labels are very difficult to scan because you cannot lay them flat on a scanner bed due to the design of the cart.

Yeah it’s true... a man can dream, can’t he?? Maybe a high quality photograph in RAW is a plausible base for a quality label?

Any chance you can link to exactly which game it is and I can take a stab at rebuilding it.

@Sheep2001 ShoothimNow’s post has the correct game & a clean label. It’s just called “Medabots” in the US, and there’s a Silver & Gold version; I’m looking for the pictured one, the Gold one

Problem with GBA games (as in with this picture) is the moire effect that is actually printed on some labels.  Sucks bawls

Yeah it does seem really difficult to try to recreate accurately from scratch...

It's not perfect - but should look better than a torn one
