Hey larryinc64, if you can somehow find the time, do you think you could make boxarts for The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II, but instead of using the GBA Classic NES series style, can you put NES branding on it? Like, no mention of the GBA at all. I'm using your cover arts for my Zelda collection and every Zelda game I have downloaded on my 3DS, I'm using a 3DS case for. But the versions of the games on the 3DS are the NES versions, not the GBA versions, so I don't really wanna use GBA style cover art. I know this would require completely retooling the template, so if you can't, don't worry about it.

Also, if you can make GBA ones for A Link to the Past and The Minish Cap, that would be awesome. I love how you separated the subtitles from the logos on LA, OoA, and OoS. If you can manage to do that for the GBA games, I'd be super appreciative. And I think the only ALttP one currently is using what look to be scans of the boxart instead of RAW images.

Hello everybody!  ;D
I have made 5 covers. However they don't have the system logo on the back. I am just learning to use GIMP so please don't judge, and make any adjustments you want! On a side note, I have just realized my old DS case gameboy covers actually fit in 3DS cases, just a bit of the spine is on either side.
The ones I made were

Tetris (based off Shenske's custom DS cover.)
Space Invaders on GBC
Tetris Blast on original GB
Solar Striker on original GB
and finally,
The Amazing Spider-Man on original GB (PAL version, but that is coincidentally what I have, also it looks identical to NTSC)

I have made four Game Boy Advance covers for 3DS cases.

Link to my Box.net: https://app.box.com/s/hote51vbfehfqo0yu5j0

Superman Returns: Fortress of Solitude
Uno 52
Uno Free Fall
Wolfenstein 3D

I am going to be working on more Game Boy Advance covers in the future. I will make another post when I have more done.

Looks good, Some covers could use deeper blacks, and are missing the drop shadow on the spine, but nice work.
What program did you use?

No problem!
I'm going to be ditching 3DS cases for ShadowFoxes DS sized GB cases, But I will still make covers in both DS and 3DS.
I got a lot of covers to convert to DS.  :)

Thank you, Larryinc64! I don't know how to add the drop shadow to the spine. If you can tell me how to do that, I will add it to my covers that don't have it. What should I do for adding deeper blacks to my covers that could use deeper blacks?

I am using Photoshop CS2 to do my covers.

I love these 3DS covers, but there are a handful of games I can't find on the site even for DS cases:

(GB) Pac-man
       Bubble Bobble Part 2

(GBC)  Looney Toons Collector: Alert!
          Mickey's Racing Adventure

If someone could make these it would be awesome.  I've tried with no success.  Thanks!

Nice new covers, larryinc64! Good news! I learned how to add the drop shadow to the spine on my Game Boy covers. All my covers now have the drop shadow on the spine. I also updated the UPC codes with new crisp ones thanks to barcoding.com.
