Hey everyone ;D. This is my second custom cover, Im stuck and in need of assistance. :( So I have a Pokemon repro called pokemon arcoiris, I bought it off Ebay like a week ago. And Im trying to make a custom case for it before it comes in the mail. Does any one have any pointers, Ideas, or suggestions on creating covers? Sorry to ask the forums but Im stuck. Something about the cover doesn't look right, maybe its the pokemon arcoiris logo I made..... Oh and I have no Idea on creating a back cover for this. No clue what so ever lol. So If any could critique the cover, that would be very helpful :D

- Robert.

Oh and the back of this cover is 90% Ripped from other people covers lol.

This is practically finished I just can't find a good background for the back cover.

I say shrink the subtitle a little, and maybe give it a slightly thicker stroke.

Is this game actually any good? I really like the pokemon series but was curious about cart behavior?
I know its either a rom hack or Hong Kong/Korean make, but does it have saving and loading issues?
Freezing/Glitching issues?

I had a fake copy of Shining Force ROTDD and the game won't even play anymore. It used to play but the save battery was dead, changed the battery and it worked great for about a week. Then it's just like the chip erased the game and when you turn it on it just goes to a white screen... If hate for that to happen.

The vids for it on YouTube look pretty sweet though.

Its a rom hack, here is the description of the hack: "The game takes place on the Orange Islands, following the storyline of the anime's second season. It was created by a hacking team known as Sprihack in early 2005. However, the game ceased production after only two betas, and one of Sprihack's members, Sergio, went on to create a new game similar to Arcoiris that also took place on the Orange Islands; that game would be Pokemon Naranja." Pokemon Naranja is basically the finished project. This is like a early beta for another rom hack, I think it goes up the the 8th gym then stops. I could be mistaken though..... Performance: It really depends on the cartridge you buy, some save and work perfectly, some don't :( Its really hit or miss. Luckily the hacked carts I have purchased in the past (Chaos Black and Pokemon Quartz) have saved flawlessly, Hopefully this cart will save.  I love collecting these weird cartridges. Im a huge Pokemon fan, and I own every Pokemon game.so getting these weird carts is always fun. And yes the hack is fun :D, not as good as Pokemon Quartz but still fun. (Pokemon Quartz  is my favorite hack :D, definitely worth looking into.)

Ya, so I just got my game, it plays and saves well.
What bothers me is that it's halfway in English, some people will speak very broken English, some will speak very good English. Then some speak only Spanish.

But if you havn't got the cover finished for it, I will make a go at it myself.

Ya ill fix up a quick cover in the next few days. (I hope, still havn't gotten some other requests done that I need to do.)
I ended up paying like $14 for it.

I'm really wanting Pokemon Ash Gray, Team Rocket Edition (which may not be on cart), Light Platinum, and fuligen, but I can't find them anywhere.
