Title: Templates?
Post by: noodohs on February 22, 2018, 09:19:35 PM

Does anyone know where to get templates for these boxes? It's been rather annoying trying to convert the other covers from here without one and trying to upsize the templates from here is also getting a little annoying. Surely someone has these somewhere? I see there is another thread for an N64 template, which I downloaded, and a "temporary" SNES Vertical template, which I just downloaded, but nothing for NES or Genesis :(

That doesn't have any of the BitBox templates, or if it does they are very well hidden.

Bitboxes use modified Ultra Game Case Templates with dimensions of 3666 X 2180.
Here are a Genesis And an NES One I made with Shenske's Templates.

I figured they were just modified ones, but I was having trouble making the modifications and hoped someone had already done it. I'll give yours a go, thanks!

You don't happen to have one for SNES, do you? The one I found is a "work in progress" template that needs some serious work before it's useful :(

Actually, finally using it now, that one is smaller than the BitBox covers. Is that just the UGC template?

hmm, it shouldn't be. how much smaller is it?

Title: Re: Templates?
Post by: noodohs on March 11, 2018, 01:36:15 PM

Quite a bit, maybe an inch or two. The Genesis one is pretty spot on, but the NES one is a little off, too. Not as much as SNES, though, maybe just a few cm.

that's weird I double checked and they should all be the same size, open one of the smaller ones in paint and tell me what the dimension count says.

Let's see...
Looks like the NES template is the same size, but I think some of the elements inside are different sizes. I can work with that, personal preference I suppose. Same with Genesis template. I did not realize that NES and Genesis covers are the same dimensions, interesting.

For SNES, the covers I've downloaded from Stone Age Gamer are 3938 x 2147 pixels or 13.127 x 7.157 inches. The template is the same size as the Genesis and NES templates at 3666 x 2180 pixels or 12.22 x 7.267 inches. A lot of that difference is in the spine, I think, which is considerably wider on the ones I've downloaded.

ah, that explains it

Here's a version of the snes template with the 3938 x 2147 dimensions: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zKEXSaV77MWVzU2up70o2l1z6-gXA0FY
