I've had a look around, and all the existing covers for this have some scan quality issues. I'd be interested in trying to make one myself, but after a fair bit of searching I can't seem to locate any raws for it (admittedly, the name does make it pretty hard to search for).

Would anyone be able to provide higher-quality scans?

If those aren't good enough I might have the box, definitely have the game but can't remember if I got it cart only...

Thanks, PX0, I hadn't seen those sites before. Unfortunately, the scans on Andy Decarli's site suffer from some pretty heavy moire effect; I tried fiddling around with descreening in my editor, but I couldn't quite get rid of its effects. While the NintAndBox one is better in that regard, I still see a fair amount of texture.

I'm pretty new to this, so I can't be sure of my instincts here, but I'd guess that running a descreen algorithm at the point of scanning would produce better results than running it after the fact on a JPG. Dr.Agon, would you mind checking whether or not you have the box? I'd really be interested to see a scan made with descreening on if possible.

Sure, although sometimes I forget things, so shout at me on Monday and I'll have a proper look...

A scan of the full box would be nice. This game was on my list of german covers I wanted to make.  :)

Here is my result for the front, using AndyCarli's scan. Should be good enough?

Thanks to both of you! PX0, that looks great. Would you mind elaborating on what utility/settings you used to clean that up?
