Sega Master System UGC Template - Custom (lets de-ugly that damn system)

[Violet Rosery]

Well that's odd. http://www.speedyshare.com/K7ufw/master-system.xcf.gz
this one shouldn't require that. Just click the filename to download.

I do like the black and grey as it fits the system more than the blue does. I would recase my games in it, but I have too many CIB SMS games to throw out the originals.

other problem I am having with SMS games is even using a custom template most of the scans etc and artwork all have the dern lines groing through them, sure I suppose I can waste forever deleting them lol

As they are all blue you could magic tool it.

what is the language you speak? lol

I literally have zero experience with programs of the sort other than some leet ninja skills in paint

Get free program called Paint.net, it's quite easy to use and figure out.

Magic tool is thing in the photo editing programs that let you pick area of similar color unlike paint that let's you "bucket bomb" only exact shade of color at once.
You can choose tolerance of the color choosing from only specific shade to to same color to similar color to all colors are the same (tolerance of 0-100%, the smaller the number the less it the color to vary).

If this template becomes a good standard I will have no problem converting games to it, and I will pump them out like crazy for everyone.

That would be awesome, more so we need to just decide on which version we might like to be the standard, black/gray, black/red or the lighter green etc

I personally like the Grey on Black with the Maroon "Master System" on the Front as it does fit with the color palette of the console itself. Not that I mind the grid Master system boxes that originally existed, but those seem more geared to the almost all white Japanese Mark III.

I may even switch some of my Master System games to this format and keep the original covers elsewhere.

If someone can put up the template for that (as I am too damn lazy to make it myself), I will get to work converting SMS games to it. I only work 8 hours this week so I have a metric ton of free time to get this going.

Think sheep had originally posted the gray/black concept if he can post the template or someone else whip up a similar one

I can work on getting a similar one doe. I may just use Shenske's Genesis Template and edit it to fit this.

I did a Template of my own and I actually put in two different styles just in case you want one or the other for the fonts and buttons.





And with a Cover in it of sorts

I do prefer the bordered letters and buttons as it looks cleaner, but that may just be me.

[Violet Rosery]

The bordered letters are easier to read as well.

Lower the contrast between the black and grey and legibility will become less of an issue.
