Both newly added Star Wars Episode 1 Racer covers were added under Star Wars: Battle for Naboo.

Really? I thought it was yours. Most of your other covers (Genesis I mean) didn't make it by the way because their dimensions were wrong for UGCs.

Ok then we have another problem. We have different dimensions for Genesis cases because we allready have some Genesis case covers on our site which have other dimensions. Another thing. Just uploading Genesis case size covers won't do any good as in my book those are still just an alternative to our standard which is UGC. So please if you upload covers for such cart games always also include UGC versions if they aren't on the site allready.

Edit: They are still on the server but as I said we have a dimension problem going on here. By the way I just downloaded one of grumbledukes Genesis case covers:

3200 x 2044 pixels @ 300dpi

Your Genesis case covers:

3165 x 1987 pixels @ 300dpi

So did grum change his template?

Something that would be so mondo helpful on this site would be a thread/sub-forum where people could see what progress is being made on upload inspection and whether or not they make the grade and why.  There's too many threads with people all bent about "where are the covers that I uploaded?!" and whatnot.  If people could actually see why coves aren't making it, then maybe they wouldn't keep making the same mistakes over and over, AND it could've helped avoid what seems like a dispute over a technical issue that you guys are having right now :/

I know that wold be a rather large undertaking (I've admin'd a few forums myself), but I really feel that would be a HUGE help for everyone involved.

No idea if grum changed dimensions on the template.  I just used the template hosted here as a base.  Will download a fresh version and double check the dimensions.

As for having to upload a UGC version as well as a standard version,  I find this a bit ridiculous.  Genesis and master system games came in clamshells, not ugc's.  I know that the site adopted ugc's as standard,but I would put money on me not being the only person who uses original sized clam shells for these games.   If the rule is going to be enforced to upload UGC along with genesis case size,  is the law going to be enforced the other way around,  so that if a UGC sized case is upped,the original case must be too?

I'm not trying to be awkward here,  and I will double check the dimension issue.

I can convert  what I uploaded to UGC size if you can pm me a list of the covers that are in limbo,  but not until after I return from vacation.  Tomorrow I hit Vegas baby! :)

OK - i just downloaded Grum's template again from the site - and the dimesions are definitely 3165 * 1987 - the same as my covers.

I agree with this. I don't even own a Genesis, but if I did, I'd rather use the real cases than the UGCs.

Strange. Seems like grum changed the dimensions sometime ago. Because his older Genesis case covers have those other dimensions.

For an explanation why to use UGC is that 70% percent of the clamshells you get used Mega drive games in look less then stellar and surely not like-new as new UGCs look like. There also is no real source to get new Genesis cases apart from some sick people on Ebay charging ridiculous prices. Not to mention the amount of loose carts you get. Etc etc. So as I said UGC still should be the way to go. This is not about enforcing anything but using the most easily and cheaply available solution there is. Genesis case can always be uploaded as an alternative if someone wishes too but why should it be the first to choose?

EDIT: The Terminator cover is yours by the way. Just checked on our server.

EDIT2: Have a nice holiday! Hope you won't come back with empty pockets. ;)

Vertical PAL N64 Covers:
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Conker's Bad Fur Day

At the top of these 3 covers they have the Nintendo 64 logo.  To match the other covers, the "64" should be colored red and not white.  This is a simple fix to copy from another cover.

Good boy (girl?).

You even copied the fix instruction I gave. :D

Doom 64 PAL Cover, the N64 logo on the spine has a black background, it should be surrounded by a white box like the others.  Again, just copy + paste from any other cover.

One of the Mario Tennis Power Tour covers has an extra nintendo logo horribly placed on the tennis racket.
