Atari Jaguar and Vectrex Covers

[ElkinFencer10]

Hey all, I just started planning my adoption of universal game cases, so I apologize if I missed something on the forums that answers my question, but I've noticed that there aren't a lot of Atari Jaguar covers on TCP's listings and no Vectrex.  I haven't been able to find any browsing the forum posts here, either.  I know a couple of people posted links to OneDrive or GoogleDrive folders with their collection of SNES and N64 scans (those are SUPER helpful, by the way), so I was wondering if anyone had any similar collections of Jaguar or Vectrex scans.  I know they're both rather rare systems, but I'd love to find some UGC scans for them or at the very least a template I can use to Frankenstein my own scans to use.  Thanks for any resources/advice!

i have a few jaguar covers in my box.net

you can find the template on the templates page here:

although iirc i made quite a few changes to the hosted template to make my covers.

Thank you so much!  Not sure how I managed to miss the template post, but that and your Box are EXACTLY the kind of thing I was looking for.  Never tried doing anything with Photoshop or GIMP, but I'll try my hand at it this weekend.  Seems UGC art for the Jaguar version of Checkered Flag is next to impossible to find.  =P

Someone made a Checkered Flag cover VERY recently, I just don't remember who.  I'll have to see if I can find it.  In fact, I need to find it anyway, because I have one on its way in the mail.  Worse case senerio, the one I'm getting is CIB, so I can always scan it if need be.

So what you are saying is that I should have just waited 18 seconds?

Or search: "Checkered Flag" and post the result before posting promise of finding it and you would have beaten me by few seconds.

Just started a Vectrex collection and I have 3 boxes:

Armor Attack
Scramble
Solar Quest

All have varying degrees of condition, but I think the main game image and logos are intact.

Once I get a new scanner, they will go to the top of my scanning queue.

All my Vectrex boxes are now scanned (see my raw scan thread in my signature). There's 11 games in total.

I have downloaded the art for some of my Jaguar games and am excited to go print them, but I'm not sure what the dimensions should be. I'm thinking I need to take these into photoshop and set them to a certain size so that printing is easy-peasy, but I can't seem to locate those dimensions. Can anyone help?

Dimensions are 3366 by 2100.

All our covers are sized to fit UGCs as is.

Few tip for printing:

1. Check the DPI if it says 300 all is as it should be.
2. Before printing, open the file in MS Paint and go to File > Page Setup.
3. Change paper size from "Letter" to "Legal".
4. Set orientation to "Landscape".
5. Centering horizontal/vertical is optional. Scale to 100% of normal size. Leave the margins as defaults.
6. If at step 1 the DPI was 96 use scale 32, if it was 72 use scale 24.
7. Make sure that fit to page is off.

There's a preview image on the Page Setup window showing a white box (the page) with a dotted line (the margin) and a gray box with an X reaching from corner to corner. The gray box represents your image. As long as it shows within the margin area, it should print just fine.
Add to that:

These instructions apply to all approved covers and nearly all the ones found on boards.
