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.

It’s funny because most templates on the site uses a portrait art window, while the original box art is landscape.

Then I want to cry again.  Stretched logos, some spine logos facing left, some facing right, artwork uncleaned, etc, etc.  I hope I just went to the wrong directory.
