Title: Looking for Hi-Res Scans for Super Nintendo Launch Box
Post by: ptsouza on June 07, 2022, 03:02:44 PM

I'm trying to recreate the Snes launch box only based in photos taken from internet. I know that these boxes are too huge to make a complete scan and thats why I need only the photos from the Console itself. Does someone can help me with this project? As soon as I finished, I will post-it here as a PDF document to anyone who wants to make a replica.

What you're trying to do is pretty cool.

I did mine already, but it's a later SNES packaging design.
I think your best bet would be modding a cheap Canon LiDE scanner and scanning the box yourself.

I encourage you to take a look here http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=25490.msg240869#msg240869.

Thanks for you reply! I'm absolutelly amazed for what you did!! I checked out your tutorial and the scanners that you did and.. it's fantastic! I realy liked!

Your idea to mod a scanner is great, but the big problem is that I don't have this box. That's why I'm trying to find pictures to recreate the box using vetorial elements and hi-res images.


Since I'm posting here, I've been making some progress editing images taken from the internet, but they don't seem to have a good resolution.

Thanks! The original idea isn't mine, tho.

How about using your existing phone/camera as a document scanner.

You must place your device parallel to the surface you want to scan. Best of luck!

I think you don't understand! It's the actual Box that I don't have!

Update: Since I started this project, I made some progress, but still need better pictures. I hope someone helps me with this.
