the front cover is still horribly stretched and low res.


your big problem is that the original artwork for game gear games is portrait, and your template is landscape oriented.  You are always going to end up with the artwork stretched out of proportion, or cropped really badly.



See the difference between my template


and yours using the same artwork



Yours obscures most of the bottom of the image, and has a huge gap on the left.  The only ways to fix this are:

1) Draw in new artwork on the left.  Nigh on impossible for most covers, and WAY too time consuming

2)  Enlarge the image (to scale) - this would obscure even more of the bottom of the image (like this)


3)  Stretch it out of shape - NOT AN OPTION!!!! NEVER DO THIS!!!! IT LOOKS HORRIBLE AND IT BURNS MY EYES!!!! (like this)



So....in essence - the problem really lies with the template.  You need to have a more portrait shaped area for the cover art.  Either by using a side banner, like all the gameboy/game gear covers on the site, or use a more portrait sized case, like master system/megadrive cases.  Or use custom artwork with your template, rather than retail.

ok - I had a play with a blue grid template in a portrait style, and came up with this.

Sorry - I haven’t had a chance.  I will tidy up the template and share it - but it won’t be in the next couple of days.

Your link doesn't work (just goes to welcome page), but I found it from your mediafire "homepage" link (the one with all your folders):

https://m.mediafire.com/view/cydlc82bhkwp9qq

But anyway, it's MUCH better! I've only looked at it on my phone, but it appears to be clear, legible, not stretched. As long as you continue to use high quality images (try images from this site if you don't have scans), you're on the right track. Nice job, buddy!
