i wanted to upload a cover i just frankensteined, but the game isnt in the list. i didnt see a place to add a game. ive downloaded a lot of covers from here for my wii's emulators. i figured id try to give back to the community. anyway the game is called "Sweet Home" on the NES (or Famicom technically), it was only released in japan, but one can find a translation if one is so inclined. it was considered the grandfather to resident evil. i found a couple pictures of the box, but no scans. i found the front and back, doctored them up best i could in gimp, and created the spine from the 2 pieces i had. so its not exactly a retail cover. but its close. ive got a couple other game covers that ive "made" like this, because they werent on this site. ill have to figure which ones they are and upload them too now that i bothered registering. |

How should I put this to be as firm but polite as I can be... Thank you, but fuck no. Thank you. but no thank you. Our site has very strickt quality requirements for covers accepted, which the preview and word "frankensteined" tell me this cover does not meet. Few tips: - Use scans of minimum DPI of 300, 600 preferred, as material. - Clean them well. - Retype back text if it's feasable (monotone background). If you think your cover meets the site requirements, but you are not quite sure, please use Mediafire or Box to share stuff as those won't fuck up the resolution of the cover shared, so we can take a quick look and tell if it meets the standaats of if futher tinkering is needed. Anyway thank you for the thought. And to answer you question: Use game name that is next in alphabet order. |

Covers like that are normally called 'Placeholder Covers' as they will do if no other is available, but as Arseen said, we now have strict guidelines in what covers are uploaded to the site. STill, if no other cover exists placeholder covers can be uploaded to the forums using image hosting sites like MediaFire. I do have some tips in cleaning up bad scans like that to, if you use Photoshop (Might work in Gimp), I had to work with a lot of bad scans when casing up my GB games. If you search the forums, a Sweet Home cover could have already been made. |

well forgive me for sharing some of my hard work oh master, im sorry my piss poor attempt at working with what I could find wasn't good enough for you. I thought that maybe "something" would be better than nothing, as larryinc64 explained in a respectful way, but clearly my refuse will not do. I saw that picture, but as it wasn't flat like mine was I found it useless, I didn't realize that downloading it would provide the raw flat image. so I thank you for pointing that out to me, but you may want to work on your manners. perhaps if the person whose job is to do so, actually put that cover in the proper place in the site, I wouldn't have wasted that time last night making that sorry excuse for a cover. ill think twice about trying to contribute to your oh so prestigious site in the future. |
