Ah crap!!!! I missed that one 

[Ragnarok2103]

yeah, i know. i was letting you bask in the glory of thinking we were one away for a while. i should have it very soon though, so no worries.

Amended my previous post to reflect the true situation.

All right, got the rest of the cart labels I have uploaded:

Star Wars Episode 1 Racer – US
Tetris 64 – JPN
Turok 3 – US
Turok: Rage Wars – US
Winback Covert Operations – US

I'm actively collecting for the 64 so I'll get up what I get, when I get it.

Can you scan the labels for any games we dont have a label available as well? Many thanks for that. I think we have only 50% of labels so far .... long way to go ....

And thanks DoubleDownOn011  .... I'll sort those out tomorrow as I'm off to bed ... well .... to watch Stargate Atlantis actually 

[Ragnarok2103]

yeah i'll definately scan the labels to whatever games i have that arent on the site yet.

If you have the time, scans manuals too! 

I still need to upload all of the scannings I did over winter break.

[Ragnarok2103]

how do we scan manuals, and then upload them anyway? is there a certain dpi, or what? just wondering cause i've never seen anyone put forth any real standards or instructions for the manuals.  i'll be glad to scan what manuals i have, just need to know how to do it, and what manuals are already done and just waiting to be uploaded, so i dont spend time scanning something that somebody already has, but hasnt uploaded yet. it may take a while though, since i start college again on tuesday.

just uploaded all the labels i have that arent on the site yet.

elmo's adventure
powerpuff girls
nh 99
nhl breakaway 99
nba jam 99
ready 2 rumble boxing
scooby doo classic creepy capers

there all at 600 dpi

Fantastic. Thanks muchly .... I'll get them up when I get home.

As far as manuals are concerned .... wait for a bit as I still have 10 manuals scanned but not yet converted and I need to see if Snowcone got all the others I submitted up & online.

However ... the way I create manuals is ..

1. Scan the pages at 300dpi
2. Straighten then crop them
3. Resize to 1024 x .... .... eg, width is what I scale to...
4. Clean images as necessary
5. Create pdf in Acrobat

That way all my pdf's are consistent with eachother in terms of size and quality. Download one and have a look.

Hope that helps.

Congratulations on almost completing the N64 covers! Hope you can get the last couple.

[TheValeman]

Okay ..... just an update after all the cartridge label updates recently.....

Checking my directory of USA labels we appear to have some 190 labels scanned .... nearly 2/3rd's of the total required. So feel free to check out your carts for any we don't yet have scans for 

[Snowcone]

Not really. They're just missing the US version of Buck Bumble.

Yeah, just that one. 

[TheValeman]

Well .... this was always going to be the easiest of the major consoles to get all the covers for as it only had 300 odd games released for the USA with maybe another 6 games specific to PAL regions ... Rakuga Kids and HSV Racing being two of them ... both of those already being submitted already.

Earlier consoles like the TG-16 didn't have that many games either although being older I guess getting artwork is probably that much harder.

Still ... I'll be thankful if we can get all the USA labels finished off so we just have a complete USA art set.

Exactly. What's on the radar after N64 eh Valeman?
