Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread

I'm confused on how that happened, are the bars broken into different layers? Like the Bar is on one layer, the logo on another.

[AxelSteelBMX]

As it stands right now in the GIMP template, the bar is one layer and the text over it is two layers (GBA logo and (R), respectively). There is no drop shadow under the text and no shading on the bar.

[larryinc64]

I must have posted the wrong file, because the Gimp one compressed thous to one layer, converting the layer effect to a normal image.
Investigating . . .

Not much to say about this one. I cleaned the shit out of the best cover scan I could find, and ended up rebuilding the elements on the back cover that I couldn't clean up well enough. Take a look and let me know what you think, both the good and the bad. Cheers.

EDIT: I replaced this with an updated version; I messed up one digit on the UPC symbol, so I fixed it. I also sharpened the cover image a little bit.

The MM cover looks good, I'll see if I ca fix the template, I'll re upload it, because the file looks good on my part.

Curently working on converting all my 3DS covers to DS, going on down the line, some early 3DS covers need some touch ups and logos relapsed.
Crossed out names are done.

Great job on the nicktoon 4 in 1 pack!

[larryinc64]

That was the older one I made, the front needs improvement, I'm going to use the GT scans as a base and change the box art to the Nicktoon games, I'm holding off on doing any more covers until my new laptop comes in, my current PC and its 1GB of ram is acting very slow lately.

Thanks very much. As you can see, I'm damn near out of template-related problems to complain about, haha, but I'got no problem being your test subject to ensure compatibility.

I'm pretty pleased, overall, with how well this one cleaned up. Mainly how well the cover scan cleaned up. The back cover could be better, I think, but I cleaned it to the best of my ability, and it still looks pretty good. I'm sure I'll go back and make it better in the future, if someone else can conjure up a better back cover scan (please please please?). Anyway, anyone who wants to use this is welcome to it. Anyone who'd like to point out where I went wrong and how I can make it better is more than welcome to do so; in fact, I WANT you to.

Cheers.

Here Is a Custom Digimon Battle Spirit 2 Cover, Since the game was called Digimon Battle Spirit Frontier In japan, I decided to make a cover based off frontier.

I Couldn't find any scans for the game, and I couldn't even find a logo

(GBC) Mega Man Xtreme (NTSC-U)

Get it here!

I almost didn't even need a scan of the back or spine for this one. I'd been pointed in the direction of a very large scan of the front that needed to be cleaned up. I removed the moire and blended the cover image with the original source art to clean it up. The back and spine were remade from scratch; I used a scan of the back to figure out the relative size and positioning of everything, but otherwise it was all rebuilt (and yes, I'm aware the back shouldn't have a logo, but the original box just has that empty space there. It really looks like they just forgot to put a logo there and just said "fuck it", so I really feel like I'm cleaning up after them). I never was able to get a good scan of the spine, so I just found a photo someone took and rebuilt off of that visual. Despite the simple design, I'm pleased with how it turned out.

As always, please feel absolutely free to offer constructive criticism. Alternatively, let me know if you like it. I like just making these, but I also like knowing whether others are making use of them as well. Cheers.

EDIT: Fixed a small visual error on the front. What was it? YOU'LL NEVER KNOW MWAHAHAHAHA

I definitely will take advantage of your work. As far as I'm concerned, that logo should be there. I just wish the back wasn't so plain, and brown. But that's what the box is supposed to look like.

I'm not gonna say anything about this one, other than it was a TON of work to get done, and I'm glad to be done with it. An extra-special thanks to TCP member Forte for providing the scan of the spine for me to work with. You're a lifesaver, dude. Thanks again.

Not too sure how many people would be looking for this as it's not a U.S. release for the GBA. However, I decided to make a custom cover for it.
