New NES cases (work in progress)

[Shadowfox]

Hi all!
Yes, I launched the cases with covers on my site yesterday.... even though we didn't have all the covers completed yet! (I gotta fill the till for this shipment coming in!) Shenske is still finishing up the remaining covers and lately we have kind of been playing tag with each other. (Day jobs, family stuff, and sickness getting in both our ways.  )

I sent out my first "Shout Out" and the hit rate was pretty low in my opinion but here is the link to it for those who are curious: http://shoutout.wix.com/so/aL1PV99z

As for cover downloads, in a day or two I will be creating a new thread for this. But we still have a few things to iron out.

I could probably make some kind of Youtube video review of them.

I'll be making one as well, as soon as I can order some and the Genesis cases show up.

Been.....kinda silent in here.....

Is there anything I could assist with to push the new covers forward?

[Shadowfox]

Things are just going sloooow. The trucker is suppose to contact me today. (He should be driving from LA to Las Vegas this morning... but I have a feeling he's going to tell me the trip is going to be tomorrow. 

Sooo.... I'm just waiting.

And Shenske is still working on things, I'll touch base with him and see where we are on everything.

SUPER MEGA REPLY  

So... is no one gonna talk about the email that ShadowFox sent out today?  Or am I the only one that got it?
CONGRATULATIONS SHENSKE AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK
It's finally happened!!!!

i saw it was waiting for it  to be officially posted here

Guessing this means the covers are complete!?

Mine went to my junk folder.  I wouldn't have seen it if you didn't mention it here.
I'm super excited now!!!!  

This cannot be said enough. A great thanks to Shenske and ShadowFox for making this a reality!  

Yes, the main covers are complete. I am currently working on creating new covers for the NES that to my knowledge no one else has made (this is part 2 of my "little" NES project. You guys can thank me later after you start downloading some covers  

Why haven't the covers been posted yet?
In short: It's a bit complicated and it'll take us a little time (I assure you well worth it).
Arseen and I are working on it. Even though I have painstakingly improved each of the covers I worked on some would still not pass quality control to be posted on the site (simply need 100% new scans). Simplest way around this is to create a series of pages on the forum with preview images and download links. Creating preview images and download links for 750+ is a time consuming task.

Yeah I'm curious if there's going to be a link or if these are only going to be available to those who buy the cases because of all the work that was put into them. I was hoping to be able to look through them and find the covers I need as well.

Don't worry, all the covers will be free to download with no exclusivity.
Sorry for the silence, my free time away from work has been limited to an absolute minimal (I've been in 6 states in the last month!)


They're coming and i appreciate everyones patience  

[Spoonman]

Thanks for the update shenske! It will be worth the wait!

[tomm1313]

figured i would ask.

i got thanksgiving week off would love to start casing that week.  Will they be up by then?

[shenske]

Tomorrow! 

The covers are ready to go. Preview images have been created with download links (thanks Arseen). Thank you for everyone's patience through this process. The long wait is finally over, the revamped NES covers will be at your disposal to download in less than 24 hours.

I hope you all enjoy the covers as I have poured hundreds of hours into the process

Sweet!

The printer at work will be running full force tomorrow!

That is awesome, shenske! I commend you for all the hard work you've put into rebuilding all the NES covers for Shadowfox's NES cases.

[NickGeel]

Thank you for putting all that effort in such a big project. Can't wait to see the end result.

May I know where is the download link?
