Title: Template Request
Post by: Charmander on June 16, 2023, 03:59:14 AM

Hello, I'm about a decade late to the party, but I'm looking for solutions to editing existing covers for DS (and some Universal Game) covers for GB, GBC, GBA, SNES, N64, etc.

Let's focus on handhelds for now.

I've been searching the forums and many of the templates i've found no longer have supported download links.

My goal is to find all the template options for GB, GBC, GBA. When viewing GBC specifically I've noticed there is a brushed metal and a holographic banner for the face of the case, and typically a black option for the spine. I'd like to find a white or holo logo for the spine here.

Does anyone have the ability to point me in the right direction or provide the type of template options I may be looking for?

Thanks a ton in advance.

You checked this topic:

The second link (Universal Nintendo Handhelds Template (Alt), Artist: LarryInc64) works.

Thank you, but that second link only appears to have a gameboy color template available. Am I doing something wrong when viewing the file?

I had come across that thread before and had the same issue.

You have to open it with Photoshop (Paint.net and Gimp might work too).
You should then have option to switch on and off different layers thus switching between NTSC and PAL Game Boy, Game Boy Combo, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.
I don't currently have strong enough computer to run real image editing software so I can't check.

Arseen is correct.

The other logos, regions, etc are all hidden layer groups in the Photoshop file.
