Title: Vertical N64
Post by: magby34 on June 03, 2011, 07:22:57 PM
Just thought I would get the idea rolling again. I've noticed a lot of people saying they want more vertical N64 covers on the site but no one really with the time or resources to do it. If anyone gets a chance we would love to complete our collections.

Personally I need:


Pokemon Puzzle League
Yoshi Story
NHL 99
Mario Party
1080 SnowBoarding
Sarge's Heroes
Sarge's Heroes 2
Extreme G 2
Star Wars Pod Racers (I know but when I was a kid I liked it.)
Tony Hawk
A bug's life

Thanks again for all of the work you all do!

I'm suppose to be scanning SNES right now (I've been promising Brandonh1091 forever) but they're buried in the dark depths of Tom's house. Today when he got to a box, pulled it out, and said "how about Nintendo 64?", I said "OK". I don't have any kind of list made for what N64's we need (although I know ShoothimNow would say "all of them"). I ended up only getting about 10 games scanned. When I got home I checked here and found out I didn't need to scan Yoshi's Island, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire and Quest 64.

We're going to work on his SNES tomorrow, so I'll get some scans. :)

Scans for the N64 section (even if they are already on the site) would still be very much appreciated.  Many covers in that section have been found unwanted.  However, if you have a Transformers: Beast Wars, I would <3 you long time!

Got the game today, it had already damage as it's used game but nothing that cannot be fixed somewhat easily.
Will scan it soon.

the sarge duo has been completed

one thing: the font i used on the first sarge's heroes was just too big and bulky to work on this second one, so i used a different font. i'll make a version of the first one with this new font if anyone wants? for symmetry's sake and all. but if no one cares i'll just leave it as-is.

anyway, on with the cover:

How come these covers don't get uploaded to the site?  As a new member it's frustrating to come to a great site with so many covers but have trouble finding them.

A couple of possible reasons:

1. They were made before the upload process was fixed, so they were never actually uploaded to the site.

2. They don't meet quality standards.

I imagine in the case of those Mario Party covers, it's 1. They look pretty nice to me.

Is there any way we can upload covers on behalf of other users? We went for nearly a year with no upload solution, so there's a LOT of stuff floating around the forums that was never uploaded to the site, some of which were made by members who aren't active anymore.

I'm working on a project to help this case.

Here is tiny preview:

NOT DONE - Casper
DONE (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=9276) - Castlevania: Dracula X
DONE (http://www.mediafire.com/i/?9pl6z816p271iwq) - Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss:
NOT DONE - Champions World Class Soccer
NOT DONE - Championship Pool
NOT DONE - Championship Soccer '94

NOT DONE means no cover available.
Clicking RAWS will lead to raw scans.
Clicking DONE or ALT leads to the cover. cover can be either on the site or in my Mediafire account.

List will include covers that won't make the site for reason or other, but are good quality

So far Vertical US SNES A-F is done.

I imagine in the case of those Mario Party covers, it's 1. They look pretty nice to me.

Nearly 100% sure that's the reason.

Is there any way we can upload covers on behalf of other users? We went for nearly a year with no upload solution, so there's a LOT of stuff floating around the forums that was never uploaded to the site, some of which were made by members who aren't active anymore.

Either ZIP the covers into one large file, and upload it to Medifire or Box.net and post the link to the boards, or upload the covers normally and add the cover makers name to the info box (and I thinbk that the name can be changed afterwards if it accidentally gets posted with you as the creator).

If cover makers name is not known it can be posted as Anynomous.

Also needed is Mario Party 2!  Really need a vertical cover for this precious game.

Search function to the rescue!  :D

Both PAL and NTSC are there.

How come these covers don't get uploaded to the site?  As a new member it's frustrating to come to a great site with so many covers but have trouble finding them.

A couple of possible reasons:

1. They were made before the upload process was fixed, so they were never actually uploaded to the site.

2. They don't meet quality standards.

Yeah, we definitely need to start working to get all these covers compiled and uploaded.  As I go through the Vertical N64 thread, there are tons of broken links to covers already.  It is an unfortunate loss of work if they are gone.

Especially when someone tries to find the Clayfighter 63 1/3 link and it's broken with it's measly blue spine  ;D
