Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread

[Arseen]

I did some digging, and found out that all were created by manson976.

BTW V-Tetris is Custom cover from Japanese version made to look like US version (never released in US), original is black, I have raws somewhere.

He also had these, I just can't find the links, but I'll see if I have them stored:

Hey I'm Back!
Busy All Night
I decided to try a new approach to the design.
What do you think Arseen?
I'll upload them on BoxNet later



I reworked text Logo/s etc added art to the back , thought it looked to plain before

Hey Arseen Think You Forgot One 
The cover is hard get ya hands on, but its not much anyho so...
I made one....
 

Check This Out
The Original Art was Dull

Or maybe he gives us links directly to them

[Arseen]

And do notice that these covers use updated template of his, see blue parts, that's partial map of the World  

Like UncleBob pointed out Symptoms0fMercy has wast collection of VB covers in the old format:

Maybe someone could update them to the new format

What?

New format, old format, updated template???

This project is officially on hold again until it is clear what is our current template and what is missing from where.

I hate this shit.

First of all the New/Old version definition is not official, it's just what I call

Old format is the one the yesterday posted Galactic Pinball cover and Symptoms0fMercy's covers use:
- The green images on blue area are blurry and over all bad looking IMHO.
- There are clear breaks where back and spine & front and spine meet.

The New Format is the one manson976 created and uses in his covers:
- The green parts were replaced with clean ones (he used map of world as it matches quite well with the old lines).
- The breaks are removed
- Blue/red background colors are more vibrant
- He also added extra images to the back (the covers with word plus in the name)

(Space Invaders seem to use bit different red parts, and 3D Tetris seems to have extra artefact over the honey comb on the front)

manson976 created the template to replace the bad old one when nobody else did altough few had promised.
The template is not published, but hopefully he will release it if requested

->

I here by request the template!

Please and thank you.

It is time to start into a whole new dimension.

I hereby declare the Virtual Boy section open! Let's finish this system off fast guys....

Sweet, can't wait to see the VB Collection done.

Question, in Imandix Cover Pro, how do you get render DS cases?

Just use a custom dimensions case and put in the front dimensions in mm and the spine width as well.
Then save it as a custom template.

Then we should use the new design as our new template. Is it finished and usable? Then we could just take it and replace the virtual boy part in shenskes universal nintendo handhelds template with it. But only if it's organized (in groups + layers) and usable in ps.

Ort maybe shenske the man himself updated his old template?

I'm actually a bit pissed at the moment as I invested some hours yesterday to make the vb cover and now I basically can do it again when the "new" template surfaces if ever....

WE NEED TO HAVE ACTUAL TEMPLATES IN OUR TEMPLATE THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wiggy]

Holy crap, it just got really complicated, and all over a console with about 20 games LOL!

This I've asked many times and that's why I requested it first thing on my VB request list.
It was read, and some people Shenske included promised the updated template.

So far manson976 has closest in finishing the template.

I don't know in what form the template he uses is, as like I said, he has not yet released it.

[amarthar]

Just made a cover for Wave Race for the GB using Wiggy's template. Wanted to try my hand at something different.
What do you guys think?

I love the use of a random anime character on a jet ski!

The font is a little strange and it seems to be taking up a lot of real estate though.  That's my only gripe.

[amarthar]

That is actually a game character from Idolmaster, but hey, she's on a jest ski so what the hell.
And the font is actually the official Wave Race logo. Got the vectorized version handy if anyone wants it.

[wiggy]

I meant random in that it's not an official image from the game

Wow, did not know that.  It still seems a tad large on the front.  Which wave race game is that logo from?

This is what I was talking about. I mentioned the template beeing updated a few months back, and I remember shenske mentioning that he would get to it. Then he had his harddrive issues and I think he probably forgot all about it. Thats why I never submitted the covers I had finished because Id just have to update them to the new template anyway. Maybe since this is up in the air again, we can finally get that update and get this VB ball rolling.

[shenske]

........ and I think he probably forgot all about it

Yeah I did. Its my dad's bday today so i need to run to the city they live in pretty soon. I open my store tomorrow so i can probably get around to after work or Friday at the latest.  I need to get another template finished up for tik too

The one I made the cover for.
