I have many boxed SNES games that the boxes are in pretty decent shape and just thought I could help out. Let me know and God Bless.

Thanks for the offer, you may just want to check the SNES database and see if there aren't any covers available for the games that you have and then just scan away. Stay fly, homey ;)

Yeah all help is more than welcome.

Give us one sample scan of missing cover.

600DPI, moire removal (aka de-screen or de-rasterize) on, super hyper flat and straight, and we'll tell if anything else has to be done to the scan.

Also list of you boxes would be nice so we can ask you to scan the ones we need.

I'll look as soon as I can for any that may be missing from the database and as time permits I will scan them. I am a newbie so the first few times may be not quite up to standards. Still, if there are specific requests le me know.  :)

OK, but scan one box first so we can asses the scan quality and help you to improve it if necessary.

600DPI, moire removal (aka de-screen or de-rasterize) on, super hyper flat and straight, and we'll tell if anything else has to be done to the scan.
Flatness being the major one (and 600DPI, 300 minimum).

Thank you.

Thank you.

A nice way to avoid the moiré effect without the need of descreening or softening the image is to reduce the contrast. If you're using a HP scanner you can set the contrast to -600.

Hi, I have not gotten a chance to start the covers you asked for in a PM, but I know Yoshi's Island needs new scans.

There are 3 title types
Post title (your The newbie+) changes with posting (adding stars along the way).
Rank title (my Special Forum Admin) gained by promotion.
Custom title (mine saying Oversight) is gained secret way... ;)

Thank you.

I have some scans to upload to see if they are correct but when I try it says the files are too big. How do I correct that?
