--- Quote from: LudiciumGaming on September 11, 2013, 07:26:04 PM ---How many covers have you made? --- End quote --- In total including my other games and movies? I think maybe 75-80. My biggest hurdle in this project is money. I run out of materials completely every 3 months and between everything else in my life, I only get to dump about $80-100 on ink and paper every now and then. Otherwise I'd be nearly done with this project lol. I just started on my SNES template again after taking a couple of months off to think about the project again. I guess if I really wanted to, I could super glue the SD Card Case into a CD Poly Case, but I wouldn't mind buying DS cases just for the red ones Nintendo sells. I think that would look pretty boss with SNES, N64, and NES. I'll probably just use black for Genesis. As far as labels go, Staples sells sticker sheets for inkjet printers. I was thinking about printing a bunch out on one sheet and cutting them out and applying them. So far that the most cost effective way to do this. I can probably get about 20-40 labels on a sheet. It boggles my mind I can find Floppy Disk labels and not SD :D |

75-80 perfect cant wait to see them down the line ;D I can relate I go through materials like water lol I can't even begin to tell you how many Ink cartridges I have blown in the past few months xD Oh and I think Red DS cases would look awesome for N64, SNES, and NES. I really need to pick my self up some sticker paper. So I can start to print labels. Someone else one the forums found some incredible paper but it adds up to 1$ per sheet. |

I'm always stupid and wait to the last minute to rebuy new ink, so I always end up going to Best Buy and spending more $$$ than I need to in a rush rather than getting high capacity inks from Amazon for the same price as standard capacity at Best Buy. I'm in between jobs at the moment, so I have plenty of ink but no paper with no means to restock LOL. I'm looking for colored SD cards, but I'm unable to find many outside of blue and black. http://www.oempcworld.com/OEMPCworld-com/SD.html seems to be the best place I've seen so far to nab up SD cards for good prices, but I'm still looking. They also do custom labels, but I don't want to run into another issue of using copyrighted art with the sheer volume I'm planning on doing again, so I'll probably just stick to my plan of sticker sheets. However, I might give them a test run to see how good they are. |

You have the right idea, stick to sticker sheets. Allot of companies can be a pain in the ass when it comes printing anything copyrighted. Especially the companies I have run in to. I don't think I have ever seen any SD cards sold that aren't blue and black. I think I have two or three red SD cards lying around. But sadly they are about 13 years old and I can't imagine where they are, or what is on them. |

This is a really crappy test print just to make sure I had the dimensions correct in Photoshop. I used normal paper and cut it out super fast, so it's not perfect. I also had to ghettoly secure it down with tape for the time being, but this is what I'm aiming for: With actual high quality paper I might be able to go through with this. I'm tempted to put a label on the back too to mimic the famous 1-800-255-3700 support line Nintendo had on the back of every SNES cart :P |
