Thanks for the Cruis'n World cover!

All I need left are Rocket: Robot on Wheels and Excitebike 64 NTSC!

Talk about finding a boxed versions of those games! Expensive!   ;D ;D

There are PAL versions of both of those games posted.... Why don't you use those? I think a cover is better then nothing.... :) I always use what I can get.... If it's the wrong region who cares? ;)

Excitebike is readily available but I already have the cart for that one and I dont really want to buy it just for the box.

I have today purchased the following USA games with boxes for the project  ....

Mickey's Speedway USA   [box only]
Roadsters
F1 Grand Prix
Topgear Hyperbike

Two of these we dont yet have covers for at all, the other two we currently have PAL covers only. Hopefully within 2 weeks I'll have received them and uploaded them to the site.

Cheers.....

Hello !  :D

You did really good work !  :o
Thank you !  ;)

But you never did GT64 that I sent... Maybe the cover is too bad...

I think you scanned it at 200 dpi which is a bit low.

can you rescan @ 300 dpi?

My neighbour did it.
I will ask to him... but is it possible he can't do better ?
Indeed when he did it (one year ago) I remember that in option popup he chose 300ppp.

I have been slowly converting Nate1749's cover scans and have uploaded a few recently.

Sorry they're taking so long but there's a lot of work involved getting some of these in a usable state. Take Rugrats in Paris as an example....

The raw was submitted with a large number written onto the front cover using marker pen over the main character and the Eiffel Tower which need to be erased.there was also a sticker over the main character which I also had to remove along with other imperfections. The uploaded cover is as good as it gets [from me] although it should suffice until someone can provide a mint box for scanning.

At the end of the day anything is better than nothing and huge thanks to Nate1749 for paying someone to scan these covers. It is certainly bringing us ever closer to completing the USA N64 covers. Still .... another 28 raws awaiting me .... so off I go for round 120 or so  :)

I'm not opposed to buying more boxes for the ones that will require hours and hours of work.  I would say do the easiest ones first and let me know what the bad ones are and I can just buy a few more off ebay =)

I just received 200 cases that were on back order so now I have to go through and print off all the covers I don't already have =)

Yeah .... bad time of year .... absolutely no spare time for cover editing at present. Dont buy anything else though until I get through this lot. I'll shout if there are any that are unusable.

Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year to everybody [ Just getting in early ]  ;D

Very prudent considering the amount of time we've seen you around here lately old friend  ;D

Actually ... considering my form recently maybe I should've rephrased that to "Very prudent considering the amount of time we've seen you around here lately TOO old friend" in recognition of my scratchy performance as well.
