Spider-Man for the PS1 -- should probably be deleted entirely. Scans are horribly low res, the back text is completely illegible. There are higher res scans up in the raw section.

Unfortunatelly a lot of the early covers suffer of this problem. The only way to get it removed is to have Snowcone take care of it.

I just noticed that the region for one of the custom covers for the Castlevania Double Pack is Canada, when it should be U.S.

I want to fix this, but the method I think will work could possibly fux something. I'll wait for a more seasoned admin to provide insight.
My idea (non admins won't understand this much, and neither do I!)

upload modified file name cover and thumbnail, gb_kidicarus_de and gb_kidicarus_de_thumb to /ready
Admin->Manage Existing Games->gameboy->Kid Icarus
Covers for this game->Original Cover (gb_kidicarus)->Edit
Cover Image: change from gb_kidicarus to gb_kidicarus_de

I think this will work, but not gonna do it until Snowcone or someone says it works or not.

I think that doesn't work so easily... If you change the covers name it's thumb disappears....
2 + 3 = 23

  • ...and that's the bottom line
Yup Tik is right. I once added a cover and messed up the region info. When I noticed that I went to the "edit the cover" and changed the name of the file only to have the thumbnail vanish and f%&k things up for good. In the end Snowcone had to fix it :)

You can edit the cover to be German instead of US but you can't mess with the filenames of already added covers. If you just change it it will be displayed as the specified region but the filename will remain the same.

By the way I checked the Kid Icarus cover...The back is in English, it's just the legal info that's German. is this really the retail cover or a mislabled custom cover?

The GameBoy red/black logo thingee on the front is in German too.  If it's a custom cover, it's an odd one.

I wonder if, perhaps, the cover is the original German cover but customized with English text on the back to make it the "US" version?

That would be my fault, I keep uploading my stuff in the Canadian region. If it's a problem I'll upload future covers in US.

I have a few Canadian release games, and as far as I can tell (could be wrong) the Canadian releases usually have text on the insert/box in English and in French, while US releases are usually just English.

Lumberjack42's PSX Horizontal Cover for Final Fantasy VII is missing. Instead there's two instances of the PSone Vertical cover.

The writing on the spine of Street Fighter Alpha 2 in the Saturn section says "Street Fighter Alpa 2"

Thanks!

Yes this has been brought up before.. I already sent several messages to Snowcone to correct this.

You can use this cover, the mistake has been corrected in this one.
