NES Requests - Missing Covers for My Collection
tecmopsycho:
Found it. Thanks man.
tecmopsycho:
I learned Photoshop on my own with no formal classes. I do not consider myself a professional. This is my first attempt at making a NES cover. I tried M.U.S.C.L.E.
I spent many hours and while I know many may criticize, I am happy with this.

Actually not that bad, good job.
Just 3 things, out of which 1 you can fix easily:
The back, spine and front are separated with thin white lines, please remove them.
2nd: Screenshots and the back image of the front need replacing.
3rd:

Right now, the upload form has been disabled due to a hack attempt on the site, so until Snow updates it we (everyone) has to find an alternative way to upload covers. This thread should help those who are wondering how to get started.
REQUIREMENTS –
1) DO NOT USE IMAGESHACK
2) DO NOT USE IMAGESHACK
3) DO NOT USE IMAGESHACK
4) DO NOT USE IMAGESHACK
5) DO NOT USE IMAGESHACK
DO NOT USE MEGAUPLOAD
It's boring to wait 3/4 of a minute before download, then wait 2 minutes + 3/4 of a minute before next download.
Many new users have been using ImageShack, however ImageShack (which you may not know) does an image format that terribly removes the quality of a cover. SO DO NOT USE IMAGESHACK.
EDIT BY ARSEEN: Same goes to Tinypics and Photobucket

“So what website should I use?”
- It has been in favor to use either box.net or mediafire.com. The main reason I am writing this guide is because even though both websites work perfect for most needs, mediafire.com has one noticeable advantage over box.net right off the getco; the ability to view pictures that have been uploaded. Wouldn’t you rather look at a picture than a bland link? I sure would! I would rather look at the picture right off the bat, and honestly, most of the times that links are posted, I never check (let alone other users).

Thank you for the feedback. When I get some free time I will try to correct those things. Any suggestions on how to improve the screenshots? I was unaware about Photobucket. Thanks for the heads up. I will change following this post. I will probably use MediaFire as my Dropbox is nearly full.
