Hi Cover Project Members,

Thank you for all your work! I am looking for a Bit Box cover for the Player's Choice version.

It is becoming harder to find first print Zelda: ALttP cartridges. Thankfully, there are many Player's Choice cartridges to find and collect. The artwork is quite different, with the gold background getting replaced by a textured one with gold type. I think it merits its own cover.

Work was done on this in 2014; I don't know if this work can be reused with some modifications or if a new one is needed.

Finally I have a box in very good condition that I'm willing to donate if someone wants to scan it and finish this so it can be added to the main database.

I wouldn't give up your LttP box just for a cover. I'm sure someone here can make it with the resources available. If you insist on donating your box, I would make  a cover in exchange.  ;D

Yes converting that great quality linked cover to bit box is no problem if one has a bit box template (or even a correct size cover).

It was surprisingly difficult to get it, but I'm willing to sacrifice my lambs for the project. ;D

Sweet. I was surprised it wasn't already there, it looked great. I hope it's an easy thing for someone with the skills!

It's an interesting cover for a couple reasons, IMO. It was part of the very first wave of Player's Choice titles in 1996, which led to Nintendo Select etc. And some sources I've read say it was the best selling game on SNES. Which would not surprise me. With the blurb on the back cover it's kind of a historical box in that way.

Edit : My mistake, you want a SNES cover, I have an idea, you could either go to a local photo copy shop and pay for a scan or you could the take photos yourself.

I can do pretty good cover from the files in first post.
I just need any bit box cover that is correct size to use as a template.
I am currently quite buzy so I can promise fast turn around but I'll try to do it ASAP.

Thanks for finding that anyway. Good idea about the scan.

Thanks! Do you need a scan of a physical SNES bitbox or do you mean just any SNES bitbox art? Cheers. :)

Any ready bit box cover that is correct size that I can use for dimensions/template.
I have never made bit box cover so I have no idea what is the exact correct size.
