Toy Story Custom (W.I.P)





Is this what your after Sheep? Still need a little tweaking and a little resizing so if you have a preference of one of them (or want something else),let me know.

Ok...all i have to do is resize them to fit a Megadrive case. Not sure wether to post the MD versions here as the site only supports UGC versions as far as im aware.Perhaps an admin might give an insight into this? Then you will have to test as to wether its the right size as my printer has gone south so i cant check to see. >:(

Not sure whether to post the MD versions here as the site only supports UGC versions as far as I'm aware.

All my Mega Drive and Master System covers were uploaded in the original dimensions. Checking through a couple just now though shows they are listed as UGCs. Someone might want to check the sizes once downloaded unless they were changed to UGC by admins prior to uploading.

Perhaps they have been resized...i would have thought someone would say by now if they did not fit a UGC.Mind you..resizing euro MD cases is nasty.The 'grid' look of them means a stretch or squash icomes out odd looking.

@Sheep2001
I knocked up an imandix MD template and tried them in that and they look ok so they should print out the right size...i have UGC's incase the MD size inserts are no good for the site.

No probs...Yes,i will get the template in a working order that someone other than me would get.Nothing is in folders and nothing is renamed and its full of layers i scrapped but didnt' delete. ;D I will tidy it up and try to make it work as both a UGC and original MD template cos' resizing from a UGC(as i discovered) is a cow! ;)

Hmmmm.....

All covers on our site should be for UGCs as this is the "official" case for Genesis/Mega Drive covers on thecoverproject.... Hope I did look at them prior to uploading bungleboss.... *sigh*
2 + 3 = 23

  • ...and that's the bottom line
If you can figure out the right dimensions for a retail Genesis/Mega Drive case then it would be definitley a welcomed addition to new new and improved templates section.

As many know getting UGCs in Europe is a bitch while you can easily buy some Mega Drive sports games off ebay for dirt-cheap. I personally have just one MD game without a cover still I'd like to have all the games in thier original cases. I guess same goes for people with more loose games.

Also your black Mega Drive template should really be hosted here. I might be mistaken but I think as for Mega Drive we only have Shenske's blue version for the newer Mega Drive games but no classic black.

yup - i'm all for rehoming my uncased games into real MD cases.........and also my master system games.........if only there was a decent template for that........ 8)

plus sometimes i merely want to repair a damaged cover - so that'll be going back into a real case too

Good news then.The black MD UGC template is almost ready to go and im working on the same thing but for actual MD cases.And yup..i picked up FIFA 95 locally for 95p!! Now its going to donate its case to Desert Strike ;D.So MD cases are pretty cheap.
