Point out mistakes to be fixed

No problem. You're welcome

For the Genesis, I think Aladdin and Disney's Aladdin need to be merged.

Yep, you're right. Thanks for pointing out.

As the first Virtual Console covers have been posted I wonder why some of them are labeled as retail? How can a covre that never existed be retail?

Shouldn't they be all labeled as custom?

Exactly. I already PMed KaiserWave about this.

They use the retail artwork so I thought I'd label them as retail cover.
The NES covers we have are also labeled as retail/original cover although we changed the spine with a logo so that they match...

Hmmmm.... You've got your point there but the NES UGC covers just have a little alternation in the spine and those cases look like Wii covers with NES artwork..... So in my oppinion they look pretty custom....

Soul Blader for the SNES was made from a low res scan(200dpi)..... It was scaled up to meet our requirements(that's why I didn't post it in the first place)....

If everyone thinks it's ok anyway(it looks ok but I thought we should follow our minimum quality rules) we could start working on the other jap scans from Y~K..... They are pretty hard to come by after all....

Damn, it looked good to me. Should have given it a second look. When you see a cover in the queue that is not up to the standards then delete it. That's what I usually do. We have told people over and over what our standards are so I have no guilty conscience deleting covers. Sounds harsh but that's how I see it.

As for your question, I'm not a talented cover maker If a trusted and appreciated cover artist like Lumberjack42, you, Lish or the likes creates and uploads a cover I'm usually tempted to think that everything is the way it should be. From the quick look I had at the cover it seemed good and I didn't bother double-checking it (which in retrospect I should've done). As you said, scans like Y~K's are hard to come by, which is no carte blanche for creating covers from low(er) quality scans which again results in low(er) quality covers. It's really a question for the dedicated cover makers. Do YOU think we should create covers from these scans or reject them with a tear in our eye?

It's really difficult to say.... I took a close look at the Soul Blader cover in photoshop and it looks ok but not perfect.... If the scan used for creation would have been 300dpi I suppose the cover would look awesome(except some little blemishes ) but with the 200dpi scan upscaled at the end it looks a little bit grainy when zoomed in close..... The question is if you would see this on the printout..... I suppose no but it's about our standards so I'd say let those scans be with two tears in our eyes....

Maybe someone can convince Y~K to rescan his covers with 300dpi? That would be perfect!

I asked him that question some time ago... he said 'might do it, but not anytime soon'.

Anyway, as much as I would like to make some covers from those raws, I'm going to wait until Y~K provides me with better quality ones. The spines are missing too - so even the Soul Blader cover from Lumberjack42 (as good as it is) is missing something right now.

Something I just noticed: In the n64 section you guys have uploaded my Pocket Monsters Stadium 1 & 2 covers as alternitive covers for the US Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2. This is incorrect.

In Japan there are three Pocket Monsters Stadium games: 1, 2 and 3. Pocket Monsters Stadium 1 was never released outside Japan because it came out before Pokémon became mega popular; Pocket Monsters Stadium 2 was the first to be translated and was renamed Pokémon Stadium (1) for its US release. When Pocket Monsters Stadium 3 G/S came out it thus became Pokémon Stadium 2.


If thats confusing, refer to this little chart:

Country      Game name
             
JPN      PKMN STUM 1      PKMN STUM 2    PKMN STUM 3


USA     N/A                    PKMN STUM 1    PKMN STUM 2


So instead of being alternitives, Pocket Monsters Stadium 1 should be listed as Pocket Monsters Stadium seperte from the others and Pocket Monsters Stadium 2 could be either listed on its own or as an alternitive for Pokémon Stadium (1).

Just think of confusing Final Fantasy numbering

I think this should be brought back to the top, it seemed to help a lot back when I started it. If not, feel free to close it. Thanks.

I'll do you one better and sticky this.

Thanks Doom!

Amended now. Have a look and let me know if it needs further correcting.
