Everyday (except weekends), I fix a few and get them posted. It still amounts to a lot of covers. I hope the quality meets everyone standards. I do worry that someone's going to say, "Hey, that cover sucks! Why did you upload that! You're fired!".

Can't say I've closely examined many of the covers you've posted, but those that I have grabbed for personal use are definitely of standard. This site hasn't been so alive in years. Keep going, but don't burn yourself out. I may even get inspired to get my arse in gear and help you out! Lol.

I've got a question as I just downloaded a whole bunch of genesis covers to print out, sometimes it looks like 2 of the covers uploaded are hardly noticeably different, is there anyplace where it says why it was uploaded again or just nothing?

Any in particular? I know historically pretty much the same cover was uploaded with the Genesis logo in grey, and again in white. Purely because people wanted uniformity in their collections.

This is what I believe happen with two similar covers because I notice that a lot too. Originally, the Cover Project had lower standards. Many older cover were cleaned and reposted not replaced. When I see a lot of popular covers such as Mario, sometimes the thumb nail looks the same but if you download both, one is usually cleaner.

Good work segamer keep it up!
Always keep in mind that if you just wanna upload a better version of an already exisiting cover you can overwrite the old one.

Keep up the good work, Segamer!
The site seems more lively since you've become a cover administrator. I look forward to seeing what new covers make it to the main site. The first time I saw lots of my Game Boy covers in "Recent Covers" on the home page, I said "Hey! Those are my covers!" I was so stoked that so many of them got approved for the main site. I had lots of brand new covers the site didn't have and now they're available. Whenever I make a new one, I not only post it in the 3DS forum but I also save a separate jpg image in Photoshop at maximum quality and upload it to the main site for approval. In the past, I was only sharing them in the forums.
