Hi how can I convert a case type download into a box type thank you
-
What do you mean by "box type"?
Are you talking about scans of the original cardboard boxes (packaging) of a game? If so, try NintAndBox.net (http://www.nintandbox.net/index.php/en/).
Converting a cover back into a box would require some heavy editing. There is no simple solution to that. If you have to ask how that could be done, you probably don't have the editing skills to do this anyway... ;)

Yep that is what he wants.

Those are some of the most sought after and expensive games for each of their respective platforms. I hope someone is willing to scan those but it is a bit of long shot :-\

Ah, the old "convert a UGC to Cardboard Box" eh?
Let me just pull out some CSI enchancing techniques here

On a real note though... sounds like you want to re-create the rarest boxes for reproduction purposes to make some ca-ching... so.... best of luck to you...

Cart Photo please and we'll eat our hat.

He meant: Photo of your collection of carts.

Serious answer:
There's no way to directly convert between a case insert and a folded cardboard box. The covers here are all adaptations. They're missing three out of four box sides altogether, and that can't be recovered from what's left. The elements that remain are cropped or rearranged to fit a different set of dimensions. Often, new elements were also added, to help collections look uniform. All of this modification was done painstakingly by hand, not converted via some simple, automated method. The best you could do with the covers here would be to find a template for the type of box you want and rearrange all of the elements by hand, same as how the covers were made. You should be able to make a box that looks decent on your shelf that way, but it absolutely won't be the same as the original. If you're serious about doing this for yourself and not to sell counterfeit games or boxes, then that should be okay, right?

Tiny addition:
Covers are made by picking the needed parts only that then are cleaned, all parts not needed for cover are left untouched, so thats why we don't have whole boxes in tip top shape.

Congrats, if you want a sizing competition... I mean... I show you mine if you show me yours. Without consent, I might as well whip mine out and grab whats at arms length I guess since this is a little spontaneous...

Since all we are asking for is a picture of your games to prove you are not trying to create reproduction boxes for profit.
Also thanks for offering to scan that Conkers box, we all appreciate it. I'm sure your generous gesture to help out won't go unnoticed!
