I have all my rom sets burned to individual dvds and I wanted to place them in a DVD case with a nice cover, does anyone know where I could find such covers.
I just needed one cover per system i.e.
- Nintendo - NES
- Nintendo - SNES
- Nintendo - N64
etc.
-
Yeah I need that too, maybe an Template or something like that!
-
I hate to speak on the site's behalf, but I imagine this might be a tad of an uncomfortable request here. TCP doesn't support piracy, including emulation of legacy consoles.
However if someone wants to do this for you, I imagine they could host it on a box.net account or something. You'll just have to wait and see.
-
I apologize, I wasn't aware of that. I knew that I couldn't ask for rom site links etc but I didn't realize that covers for said games were against the rules as well.
If this topic needs to be deleted I will understand...
-
thecoverproject.net is against all forms of piracy!
We won't support this stuff by providing covers to make such "collections"('yuck') :( look nicer on a shelf....

Okay, just playing a little devil's advocate here. NeoGeo CD games are relatively cheap to come by on ebay (but not all), but the systems will run up quite a bit, especially for the CDZ (I'm still on the lookout for one of these babies). There's supposedly a boot disc for the Sega Dreamcast that will boot these games up and run them via emulation. I'm not sure if the bios is included on the disc, if the bios is made from scratch, or whatever, but essentially no ROMs of any type are on it. Would that be classified as privacy? A disc of like 600 Roms (do you seriously have ALL 600 of those games in a drawer or something? Didn't think so) is one thing, but what about this? I personally think it's piracy for the BIOS, IF it's official BIOS, but if not, would it be?

Never heard of that but was this boot disc produced or endorsed by Sega? ;D ::)

So if I create something myself should I upload it here?

...... no, we CAN'T host anything like that ::)
-
I understand I just wanted to check and sorry if this has causes any problems.
-
It won't be up to site standards or anything, (like it'll be 72 DPI) but I could if you mentioned all the consoles you need.
-
I both support the gaming industry with what little cash I have and still venture into emulation every once and a while, so I wouldn't mind seeing something like this posted on a box.net account. Even though I'm picky and would probably only put the few quality NES/SNES games on there, not all 600 or whatever.
Honestly I'm quite anal about collecting things, but when it comes to gamesaves, there's nothing more reliable than a computer (anyone remember Pokemon Gold? I don't like replacing save batteries...)
-
And for those of us in PAL regions, emulation was/is the most practical way to play games like Chrono Trigger which never saw a PAL release. Although DS re-releases and the VC are obviously now a better alternative.
Even so, I'm not sure I'd really want a cover on my shelf for ROMs. I think that, like the pirated PSX and Dreamcast games I got as parts of bundles from eBay, dvds of ROMs will sit off to the side in cd wallets.
-
Okay not posting these to the site or providing them to anyone or anything, just made some customs for my own personal viewing pleasure. Thought I'd share this preview pic, just because I'm kind of proud of my work is all. Couldn't think of anything to put on the back of the snes one yet, for the n64 I just copied a picture I found of the n64 box pretty much.

I just realized that I buy everything used so I'm not supporting the industry at all.

I would disagree with that statement. I buy most of my games used too but everytime you buy a used game that takes one copy out of circulation for other people to potentially buy. Down the line because all the used copies are sold (to people like us) some other people are forced to buy new copies. You are still supporting the industry :)

What if all of my purchases period are used copies of older games that are no longer published new?

what if a tree falls in the forest and no one's around to hear it? It still doesn't matter. You're just one person, don't worry about your effect on the gaming industry, no one else does.

Nah, I'm not worried really. If I was I probably would've actually, you know, bought current gen games.

finished the SNES one and started one for the NES this has been a fun project

I don't think so, although it could be since the NeoGeo Pocket was all-up-ons with the Dreamcast, but I really don't know. I'd have to look into it.

Are you guys talking about that commercial dreamcast-based playstation emulator called Bleemcast? That's the only boot-disc thing I can think of that was an official release.
Sega didn't care about it, but Sony sure did, sued the company a couple of times. Sony lost those lawsuits, but the court costs effectively put the company that made Bleemcast out of business.
It only ever ran a handful of games, but according to the courts it was 100 percent legal.
-
They are talking about a bootsisk for NeoGeoCD games that work in the same way as the Bleemcast. Answer: yes there is a bootdisk to play your NeoGeoCD games on the Dreamcast but it is unofficial and not an official sega product. (just google it ...snesorma ... cough)
About the Bleemcast legality: Yes there were a few bleemcast discs manufactured that were legal but they were limited to Gran Turismo, Tekken 2 & Metal Gear Solid (saving doesn't work). After the courts ruled in Bleem's favor against Sony, Sony decided to buy out the company and hault production and recall those 3 discs and the Universal Bleemcast disc (never completely finished or officially released) that would play most of the PS1 titles on the Dreamcast.

Those were the "handful" of games I was referring to.
I never heard sony buying the company out, I always thought the court costs just killed them.

That's what I heard too, even though they won in court it ended up being too expensive for them.
-
Actually, I think I am mistaken the more I think about it. I must be getting it confused with something else. Bleem did go out of business because of the outstanding court fees.
-
Yeah there was another playstation emulator for the pc that was actually really good, you can still download the demo version of it. I can't remember what it was called right now, but after the whole bleem thing sony bought this other company out and just stopped production.
