I've noticed that the Adventures of Dino Riki for NES is not the correct resolution, it' sset to 96dpi instead of 300, so when I went to print it's super zoomed in.

Also NES Starforce is 96dpi as well.

Genesis Mortal Kombat custom red stripe

Yeah that unfortunately sometimes happens with some older covers.
Print at 32% scale and the fit is perfect.

I just fixed the resolution in PS and printed fine.  I was just following the guidance In the FAQS for covers that aren't sized properly

Your way is the correct.

It's just that I just gave the easy solution as if I'd suggest the average member to do what you did the answer would be something like: huh what I no knows how to use PS. ;)

Sight possible issue.


I just had a tab that was originally the front page redirect to one of of those fake 'FireFox urgent update' pages that get you do download some crap. Possible another tab did it and it just happened to the TCP tab, but be careful.

That's why I use Addblock and good anti-virus program that auto-shut all those. ;)

The GIMP print guide for UGCs tells me to check the Print Size option in GIMP even though all art on the site should have the correct size. I printed a bunch of SNES covers yesterday (too many to check every one) and found two which were printing too large:
Doom and Mega Man X (alt)

I adjusted in GIMP's Print Size dialog and printed again.

A couple more that are printing too large:
Gradius III
NFL Quarterback Club 96

Also, Top Gear is corrupt. I can't download the full cover.

Thanks. I prefer the retail style so I'd prefer that someone fix/restore the other file, but I'll use this as a stop-gap. ;)

Another note:
Yoshi's Safari has mismatched seals with the one on the front being completely incorrect.
X-Men Mutant Apocalypse is also printing too large.

Just checked and only difference between the working cover and the corrupt one is the spine.
Easy to do in Paint yourself or wait till tomorrow or so when I'm at my good computer to do it.

You're right. I actually went back and used that one instead. Really just reporting the problem in case the original can be easily restored (not making a request). Thanks!

WWF Super Wrestlemania is listed as WWF Super Wrestlemania and Super Wrestlemania with two different retail covers.

X-Men Mutant Apocalypse also has the Capcom logo too close to the front side so you're unlikely to get the crease to go right between it at the front side when (especially considering the smaller UGCs).
