Emmit Brown works better for me.  I think I'm more crazy dude with WAY too much going on than dude who makes bombs from wax paper, chewing tobacco, and aluminum foil :P


edit: Neighbor just called to tell me he sees my Halloween decorations lit up.  Going home!!!

I think I'm gonna be working with the maker of this repro in the very near future so that Rose Colored will be able to offer repros and custom artwork :D I are teh excite!

Oh. My. Gosh! I so can't wait!

BTW, how do you think the real deal OEM SNES cart labels are made? Dye sublimation? I'm not too keen on printing processes (although I am getting pretty familiar with metal forming and injection molding), just asking. OEM labels have that look & feel that I can't compare to consumer grade printer/photo paper...

That would be amazing if you offered custom label services that feel & look close to the real thing. I'd end up buying a crap load of them and swap out boards into sports shells with custom labels!   :D

It's possible, but I also don't know all that much about very specific processes like this.   I would think that they more than likely printed offset and used a lamination before cutting the rolls.  That's my best guess.  I think the DS process may have been too pricey for that sort of thing.

I've made a few for N64 guy.  I found a good paper that's pretty close to the N64 look and feel, plus it's coated, so it takes a LOT of abuse to damage it (unlike the OEM labels).


I just had to post this because it's full of LULZ! ;D



That's quality right there.  Should we tell them that electrical tape won't keep its bond when applied in that way?  Oops, I guess I just did.  They'll find out soon enough when they all start peeling off.  DERP!

Also gotta love this.



I wonder what on Earth could have made them switch from the flimsy, OfficeMax stock and eBay inks that they were using?  Hmm...

It's one thing if it's for yourself, it's another if you're gonna put your name on it and sell it :-\

I know I wouldn't put my name anywhere near that  :-X


Also, LOL @ "carefully covered" with different lengths of electrical tape and a chunk of black paper!

Just saw some more of your artwork on ebay, on the plus side people are charging more as the artwork is more unique and custom lol
