The Cover Project need more PAL covers, so I am going to do something about it.
I have decided to create and adjust N64 covers for the PAL regions and link to them in this thread, because I enjoy creating them and I want to give the PAL users more options to choose from when browsing the forums and hopefully the main site, when the upload function is back up again.

Some of the covers are new takes on already existing offerings, but I decided to redo them because I thought they needed a few adjustments as well as corrections in the copyright texts, logos and/or color adjustment etc.

I will upload my covers to my MediaFire and share them in this thread once they are completed.
There will be a brief change list for the covers if they are "remakes" of existing offerings on the site, for your convinience.
I won't recreate every single cover for the Nintendo 64, but those I do work on (and there will be a lot), I will definately share with those of you who are interested, in this thread.

Feel free to request covers that are missing in PAL format, in this thread.

If you like the covers and want other users to find this thread, I'd appreciate a comment to bump this thread up and keep it alive for other members to see. :)

Also, a huge thank you to those of you, who created and uploaded PAL covers that I can work with and to the individual who came up with the awesome vertical design for the Universal Game Cases, which allowed me to create my Photoshop template for the covers.
Enjoy.

Great work! I'm still looking for PAL Vertical Cover for Mortal Kombat Trilogy, F-Zero X CLIMAX and Nightmare Creatures, maybe you can do them by time? Cheers!

Hey Vondizer,
If people want PAL covers made by me, and I can squeeze it in, I don't see why not.
Just be very patient though, I have some other ones I prioritize first, but I will try to squeeze in your requests.

And thank you. :)

Here you go, Vondizer.
I spent my evening creating a PAL Mortal Kombat Trilogy cover for you.
There are some changes I personally would like to add, mostly the MK Trilogy logo in the top on the back cover, instead of the 'Game on FIRE' text, but I wanted to keep it as close to the original material as possible, with a few tweaks of course.

Please let me know if you are satisfied with the result, or if I should change anything.

Awesome MINI, thank you very much, I didn't expect it so fast! I'm absolutely satisfied with the MK Trilogy Cover and I don't care about slightly differences in any details, feel free to include your ideas, I mainly just need this kind of vertical, blackframed PAL covers. 1000 thanks again MINI, you did a great job!!!

Glad to hear, Vondizer.
I might update the cover with the MK Trilogy logo instead as I mentioned before, but I am glad that you are satisfied with the result.
I don't know about the F-ZERO X DD Expansion, it will most likely be a tweaked version of my existing cover if that is okay with you.

Yes, I'm totally satisfied with the MK cover, no need for any changes, at least for me. F-Zero X CLIMAX cover artwork would be great like in the link (see below), just in PAL and black, sorry wanted to post that cover, but that didn't work. Have a nice evening MINI!

Oh, it's that mod combined with the Japan exclusive CLIMAX game, right?
I'll keep it in mind and maybe I'll create it at some point.
Right now, my focus is on the officially released games, so we will see.

Great evening to you to, mate. :)

I guess so, but I don't know for sure, but it would fit to the inofficial F-Zero X CLIMAX cartrigde, which you can buy on aliexpress.com.
OK buddy, just finish your prioritized covers first and then maybe do that cover, if you like to  ;)

Uploaded a PAL cover for Resident Evil 2.
To anyone who managed to download the first version I uploaded, I have added the recycle message which was missing and adjusted the company logos on the back.
Sorry about that.

UPDATE:
I don't know if I am going to continue making these covers, since the Universal Game Cases are now being discontinued.
If people request a cover for their existing cases, I will gladly make them for you, but for now, the covers are on hold.

Just keep doing them.
As PAL covers have solid background on the spine editing the 5mm spine width difference is easy whether you go from UGC to CGC or the other way around.

It's not just the spine that needs tweaking.
The front and back cover images need adjustments, the overall height needs to be shrunk and every image, label and text needs to be moved to a new correct position.

All you have to do is just resize the whole cover by changing the pixel dimensions, then make additional adjustments to the spine.
