I was wondering if there is any archive of the raw images, as i am hoping to remake original boxes (i know this isn't practical, but it's mainly just for the look, i loved the n64 boxes) Anway, i was wondering if the raw images are kept, or if there is anywhere i could find similar scans.

the covers on the site should be good enough quality to do  that. They're basically just cleaned up raws. You just have to print out the spine twice. Post pics when you do this, I'd be interested to see what you're doing exactly.

I will post pictures when I do get the chance to print. The only thing is i will need to make a template of an original box but don't have a scanner. I also don't have access to a good quality printer at the moment, but hopefully soon. :)

I've decided after finally actually getting an N64 box (I didn't keep any when i was younger) that it isn't really worth trying to make original boxes from the cover scans available. The cover scans on here do not have three of the spines, the two short and one long, obviously so they can fit in the new cases, and there is no way of me obtaining them, it would look a bit strange to not have them. So i guess i can do it how everyone else does it or not at all. :)

The raw scans never included the end flaps when they were submitted and if you were going to rint a N64 box out it wouldn't fit on an A4 page anyway after adding the insert area necessary to glue the whole thing together. The UGC boxes fit the bill nicely for our scans however. Even the original box insert is bigger than an A4 after flattening it out etc.

Hi, you can find that kind of scans here. It's a french site and you'll have to register to download the scans but they work with the same quality standar you work here, and with some minor editing the languaje can be changed.

They even have a tutorial on how to print the cardboard boxes :D

Hope this helps.
