Game Trading? (And Hello to TCP!)
wiggy:
Those may not be considered "errors" as much as a personal choice of whoever made them.
But, I could totally be wrong.
Maben:
Wiggy: Perhaps, but it just seemed incorrect especially since the spines still had the red coloring.
Back on topic: I wasn't trying to start a whole new thing on the site. I mean if people really wanted to it'd be cool but it would also be a big undertaking. There are lots of sites out there I found on Google, but wasn't sure if there was like a go-to site (like Ebay for auctions or Amazon for like everything).
I could certainly sell my collection and then buy what I need but there will be an inherent loss in fees and such.

Upload all, and we'll see what are usable. ;D

I did not change the bottoms of the backs (like the warning labels in different languages) since this is very minor issue to me. I was doing it just for my collection, but if there is a demand I will happily upload and share. These are the ones I did:

So you wanted Black cover that said that said Starfox 64?
Simple swap of US front to PAL cover. ;)
--- Quote from: Maben on March 29, 2012, 11:47:18 AM ---This is all well off-topic. Where do I report errors for covers? I noticed that I think the two Banjo-Kazooie games and Conker didn't match the other covers. (most PAL vertical covers have the "64" at the front and spine as red, these were still white on the front).

I'll let you do it.
Those 3 can be considered mistakes.
Fix is simple copy from another black cover.

We desided that we don't make official market place here, but members are free to sell legal stuff here (no pirates or repros).
But they do it on their own risk.
If we notice that someone is conning others we of course take some action, but what we can do is limited.
Maben:
Thanks Arseen :D.
Like I said, I think a lot of the problems I had with Star Fox stemmed from my first time ever using photoshop. The real problem was the spine. I didn't want to risk using a new graphic and having it be mis-aligned or sized wrong/bad quality. So I attempted to use the "replace color" option to change the green background to black. This has an inherent problem since the Star Fox logo is also green. Magic wands were used...chaos ensued, lots of copy/pasting to replace stuff.
I spent some time at the pixel level coloring in black. I chose it as a learning experience and I wanted all my covers to match, so I decided to do the most difficult of my collection first.
I'll upload when I get home (I'll use a different thread). You can see for yourself then.
