He's been busy lately, but he probably has the PSDs still. Should be a quick fix once he gets your PM.

Noticed a mistake on the Knights of the Round SNES cover when I went to print it out last night. Looks like a chunk of text is missing on the back right towards the bottom of the paragraph.

Name - "Pokemon Stadium"
Link - "http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=1041"
Problem - "The dimensions and attributes are wrong, the game prints out way to small and if you try to size it properly it just becomes distorted and not useable"

Name - "Wave Race 64"
Link - "http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=704"
Problem - "(its 72dpi)The dimensions and attributes are wrong, the game prints out way to small and if you try to size it properly it just becomes distorted and not useable"


think these might need to be redone?

Fixed.... The covers are high res by the way. Just a little size/dpi problem which happens sometimes.
2 + 3 = 23

Wolfchild, Rocky, and Outrun, were all posted twice. I don't know if this was intentional or not, as I've looked at all 3 covers and can't see any difference between the three covers that were posted twice.

Size difference, other is for Universal Game Case other for original Genesis/Mega drive Case.

Should probably specify which one is for UGC and which one is for original cases cause I thought they were double uplaoded aswell..

I noticed a few spelling errors while making some customs:
Donkey Kong Country vertical PAL - "Madness and Mehyem in this 3-D Gorilla Thriller!"
Super Mario World vertical PAL - "Discover more warps and thrilling bonus worlds tht ever before!"

haha yeah, i've come across an insane amount of spelling and grammar mistakes printing out the verticle snes covers, lots of them are sentences starting with. And then lol

The mistakes thedrowningman is pointing out are simple spelling mistakes, my bad. My first covers i make when trying out a new template often have little mistakes and inconsistencies that i didn't iron out prior finishing the template.

The mistakes Jonesat is referring to are intentional, all the grammatical errors are word for word from the original box.

Yeah, very busy lately. I still do have the PSDs, I keep all the PSDs from the covers i make. I may start getting rid of the old PSDs because its filling up my hard-drive. I can fix those covers but i'm not sure if i can do it today. I have a 12 page research paper to write

Now maybe this is just me, but wouldnt it make more sense to correct the spelling errors regarless of whether its present on the original box or not and fix the mistakes they made? I think I would rather have a cover with correct spelling even if the original has spelling errors.

That stinks man.
This can happen to anyone.  My hard-drive took a crap several months ago.  So, if anyone needs a place to store their working files and so forth I am offering, as before, free FTP service for any cover artist.  This is the best way that I can contribute to this project.  PM me if you require this service.

And again, that really stinks man...

Also, I don't want to be an ass, but too late:
Quote from: Doom, in the Lumberjack42 Era, in a Secret Place
Maybe we Gurus should upload a backup of our work

So if anybody else pulls an eightcell (although he probably left out of necessity, not choice) we have a backup for someone else in case they want an in development cover that never got published.

Theres an easy way to fix that. Just copy and paste the wave race cover overtop of a any cover you already printed and know prints out perfectly then give it a shot. Thats what I do rather get someone to fix it.

This is defiantely going to sound disrespectful but, Did you read what i wrote?

The mistakes thedrowningman is pointing out are simple spelling mistakes, my bad. My first covers i make when trying out a new template often have little mistakes and inconsistencies that i didn't iron out prior finishing the template.

The mistakes Jonesat is referring to are intentional, all the grammatical errors are word for word from the original box.

The spelling mistakes were "my bad" and i'm going to fix them. Grammatical errors (such as starting a sentence with a conjunction) the original creator of the retail box did will not be changed.

yeah i tried that, and i tried manually putting in the proper settings, and putting the proper dpi in and the length x width in proper pixels , but everytime i go to print preview on that one, or just print it out, it prints out a super zoomed in shot of the mid spine, or after i mess with the settings, it prints out a cover thats waaaay to small....and i also tried opening a cover up in basic ms paint, and just manually dragging and sizzing waverace over top of it and printing it, it prints out in terrible quality  :(
