Done - Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - DS - NA (NTSC) - Retail
Done - Kirby's Return to Dreamland - Wii - NA (NTSC) - Retail
Done - Professor Layton and the Unwound Future - DS - NA (NTSC)

Just got into fixing up some games. Thank you very much!

EDIT:
I was able to make the Kirby and Professor Layton ones myself. Was going to post them here or upload them but don't know how, unsure if they would meet standards either. I guess message me if interested!

M&LBIS is already in the main site submitted by Snowcone, but it would not have been accepted under the quality standards the cover admins adopted later on, so here's a new raw scan of mine.

Thank you very much! Looks great!

Why would Snowcone's not have been accepted? I must have missed it. I did try searching a few things, but I was just able to find it after you said it was there.

It's here http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=7305

There's a bit of a running joke about the cover admins while the site was still taking uploads. They would reject anything that isn't absolutely perfect even for missing covers or improvement on what's already there. The above cover is not absolutely perfect - and would not have been accepted.

It's not a joke that we won't accept half-assed crap, even to replace half-assed crap uploaded before the current quality standards.

Boards and other sites are for the shit. :P

If you want your cover to be preserved on the site then do your work better and clean it to the max using pristine raw material.

And the cover would have been accepted by Cover Admins after minor cleaning of the black parts.

On the other hand that cover would have made it here no matter what as Snowcone is the biggest cheese aka dog reversed here and he can upload what ever he wants.

I looked at Snowcone's image. Couldn't you just edit it to fit? it's only 9 pixels too tall.

The cover was not vetted by us.
Like I said he is the big cheese (= owner) and he does not need us to put his stuff to the site, he simply does it by himself.

Ironically, you're better off printing it that little bit oversized and trimming the extra off after you print.
This is how real full-bleed printing is done all the way to the edge but nobody has ever made covers available here with an extra overlap. In hindsight I wish that had been a thing, to make trimming easier.

Lol if you were only here 10+ years ago when scanners were made from potatoes... how technology (and our standards) have advanced...
