You can read the details of this over at my blog, but I wrote a quick and dirty app to help me crank out covers for my stuff. The program can not do anything too complex, it just takes a template image, and pastes other images at the locations stated in the .ini file. So for example, you could have Sonic - Front.jpg and Sonic - Back.jpg, Mario - Front.jpg and Mario - Back.jpg, and it'll create Mario.jpg and Sonic.jpg. So it takes this: and makes this in less than 1 second: You just load up a folder with all the images you want, and it'll spit out the covers. No GUI options, no CLI, just run the program, receive covers. There's MAJOR limitations however, it can not do layers, and you still need to get the source image in good shape. Details and the actual program can be found here: http://rhwiii.info/blog/archives/1083 Note: I'm a security engineer\government defense contractor. So if you don't want to run software from a stranger, that's a good thing. But I thought I'd share it anyways incase anyone wants to try it out. It's great if you have 30+ covers for a system to fill in, and they're not listed here. If you have 1-3, do it the right way or make a request. |

Wow very nice work on this. I wanna give it a go to see how it works. So this so far only covers gamegear, tiger and lynx (checking to see if I read that right). |

That's just what I included, if you edit the ini file it could handle anything you toss at it. |

Wow, this is a neat idea. I'm gonna have to give it a look, as I have a lot of NES covers to convert to a box template, and this might help if I mess with the ini. |

Programming flies right over my head, so I'm just going to assume this was a lot of work to make and say - this looks really cool. |
