NES category?

[Gentlegamer]

As I went through my box of old video games looking for manuals for SNES games, I found several NES game boxes in pretty good condition (along with manuals). How about adding a NES section for covers?

NES carts will fit inside the Universal Game Cases after a bit of trimming of the interior plastic. NES boxes may be tough to find, but even custom covers would probably be acceptable.

I have the following NES boxes, and would like to scan them for others to create covers for (my Photoshop skills are feeble):

Zelda II: Adventure of Link
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Ninja Gaiden II
Dragon Warrior
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game

Scan them. We have a SegaCD category where there is only one cover for now, so I guess 6 NES covers is a good start. Hell, Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden alone are worth their weight in gold I'd love to see a NES project happen. But as you said scans of the original boxes are hard to find so custom covers is the way to go.

I did my first scan: Zelda II at 300 dpi. What format is best to save the images in? I used tiff.

I think most scans here are saved as JPG's.

The upload script won't accept a tiff.

What is preferred? jpeg? psd? other?

[Snowcone]

300dpi jpeg is the preferred type.

I think I have a Tetris box lying around somewhere, If I can find it, I may scan it

This thread gave me an idea (might be a bad one, though).  For the consoles that have more than one possible case size (e.g. PS1 (CD and DVD size), NES (different universal game cases)), maybe there should be a permanent place for the raw scans, so that people can make custom covers for different cases.  Just a thought.

I'll have to give that some thought. Might be hard to organize, might not.

I've tried to scan my Tetris box, but can't seem to figure out how to set it to scan at 300dpi.  If anyone has any suggestions, please tell me

Setting the resolution is done in whatever twain driver you have installed for your scanner. What scanner do you have?

A Lexmark X5150 All-in-one

Walk me through the process of scanning a document on your scanner. Do you use the Lexmark software or launch the scan from within your image editing application?

[Brandon]

I press the Scan button, and it scans and opens in the selected program.  So, yes probably software
