New N64 Covers ....

[wshbrngr]

you don't have to explode them (I know I did a few that way) But some/most N64 boxes the cardboard insides pull out and you can just lay them flat with either the front and a spine or the rear and a spine then scan the other side. Some of the boxes the inside cardboard does not come out, so you can't do it that way. (So you end up scanning the front,rear,spine)
Please don't destroy your boxes.

I thought that was what I said? Oh well .....

[wshbrngr]

I was only responding to his post about exploding his covers....
Exploding does not sound good to me...

[TheValeman]

Maybe they're those super rare Mission Impossible boxes .... the ones that self destruct after 5 openings. Bummer if you want to play the games more than 5 times though   

[KaiserWAVE]

Hahaha, "Good Morning agent Hunt, your mission should you accept it: open the box and finish the game in one sitting, this box will self-destruct after five openings. Have a nice day"

[wshbrngr]

I happen to have that game.... not sure if I COULD play it 5 times before I self-destructed

[KaiserWAVE]

Yeah, it's a shame it's such a mediocre game. The movie was and is great.

My friends choose 300 ppp in the options, but while scanning it was written 200, but size files are larger.
And, I don't know why, but this files are TIF files that he renamed by JPG (only renamed).

[TheValeman]

Hey there,

I grabbed one of the zips ..... gotta wait for the others due to download limits. I changed the files back to TIF and they're definitely better .... Zelda horse is much better on the spine .... but yes .. only 200dpi. Better than previously though.

Where abouts are you?

Would you be prepared to post the covers if Snowcone wants 300dpi? I am in New Zealand so probably out of the way but maybe someone is closer if you were happy to send them?

Ultimately though we have most of these so it's more for archival purposes and may be overkill .... but if you want the best available ........

[Cyrille]

Therefore it's 200 dpi (how can I show that ?). I think my friends can't do better because he choosed 300 ppp in the options.

If I understand well (sorry I'm French) you want obviously 300 dpi, so you can't add them in Internet site. And you ask me to send my covers to Snowcome... but I don't understand... you expect me to upload the covers or to send by post (like a letter) ?

[TheValeman]

If you are prepared to post the covers you could send them to someone here who can scan them at 300dpi.
At the end of the day though ... if Snowcone is happy with 200dpi I'll get to work on the scans you provided and see what comes out.

[TheValeman]

Okay .... I've got all the zips and extracted the files and will start to play around with them in the absence of any direction from Snowcone regarding use of 200dpi resolution.

I can see where we can get some covers done a lot quicker than others by simply substituting the rear scans on existing covers where the front/spines are identical. SF Rush is one example where I provided the UK version previously and it is identical except the rear is English vs these ones which are FR/GER etc. This will cut a lot of time/work on my part.

[TheValeman]

As stated in the previous post .... here is the FR version of San Francisco Rush Racing .....



I used the back only and overlayed it onto my original UK PAL covers as apart from the rear everything is identical. Sorry but there's a bit of damage on the rear I couldn't get enthused about removing but for the few people wanting a FR version it should suffice.

Full size already uploaded to the site....

Wonderful !
Thank you !

Here's another Cyriller contribution .... 007 Goldeneye EUR ....



Looks nice .... although silver boxes aren't easy to work with.... left the spine icon red as that's the one most people like here. Feel free to adjust to suit your own tastes
