Hey everyone!  Glad to finally be a member of the community.  I found TCP and my interest in collecting games has renewed ten-fold.  I've already made custom DVD covers for all my PS1 games and any games that had missing covers.  Then I went to do N64 and realized I favored the black vertical covers much more than the red ones.  However, I live in the states and have NTSC games and so having references to PAL versions (and even different titles) didn't swing with me.  So I made some custom covers for personal use.  I understand the color system here and I'm not trying to change or challenge anything, I'm just providing them as a resource for others like me.  Feel free to use them as-is or further edit them to be more authentic.  Some notes:

-Please keep in mind this is my FIRST ever use of Adobe Photoshop.  I'm not claiming perfection by any means
-I did not worry about the "official Nintendo seal" at all, and they don't even seem to be uniform among all NTSC or PAL games
-I didn't change any of the differences on the back (such as the multi-language warnings)
-Most are simple 1 minute edits of PAL versions, just removing the "PAL VERSION" on spine, and replacing rating with proper ESRB rating. Anyone who wants to help out, I will add your pics to the first post.
-The Zelda games keep the PAL art, I like it better anyways.

Sounds good man.  I just did the titles I have and am looking to keep as a permanent collection.  Most are pretty easy, especially once you get started.  If anyone wants a specific one I'll do it, as long as it has at least one vertical cover in the database.  Otherwise I'll do some more popular ones perhaps when I get around to it.

I would die to see Mortal Kombat Trilogy made, but it's not vertical ;~;

I attempted one awhile back like this, but it didn't turn out so well... and now apparently it has been deleted... stupid self.

Regardless, I haven't seen any N64 mortal kombat game in the upright style yet.... but I'm sure they're out the somewhere

Dude you are awesome.  I'll "black" these in my spare time.  I'm trying my hand at making vertical covers from using the retail ones but I'm not the best at it yet.  I made a request in the other forum but if you have time could you make covers for:

Blast Corps
Worms Armageddon

I would be extremely grateful! :D

Also there appears to already be a Paper Mario one in the database.  Only differences are a slight choice in artwork, and Mario's foot overlaps the border.  Also it uses the correct E rating, yours has K-A.

actually I didnt make these, their just covers that other artists have provided over the years and many of them dont meet the sites quality standards which is why they're not hosted.... but they work for me :). The other Paper Mario cover is probably the better one to roll with.

here is a Blast Corps cover I saved a while back:

let's get a list of N64 titles and try to get some taken care of!  :)

I'd like to see in this format...
-F-zero X
-mortal kombat trilogy
-hot wheels turbo racing
-mischief makers

There's something about the red and green covers I don't care for.  Ooh, that Killer Instinct Gold is amazing, and would look even better when blacked out!  I'll try to help work with you on this Maben. Just message me some titles that you're working on, and I'll try taking care of some others.  i'd like to see the entire list made like this.  (mainly, because I could use some covers for my games) ;D

Just did Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Wave Race 64, Jet Force Gemini, and Blast Corps.  Will be uploading soon.  My next 4 were going to be Killer Instinct Gold, Harvest Moon 64, Kirby 64, and Paper Mario.

This is actually kind of my situation (not the Everdrive).  I have about 15 games in my collection, another 15 I'm in the process of selling/trading and then a list of about 10 then I'm actively seeking to get.  After I do Killer Instinct, the next covers will be for games I don't even have, but they are popular ones and maybe I might get them.
