New Genesis/Mega Drive covers....

In essence I love it - but PLEASE do a version for regular MS/MD cases too! 

Why doing double work...? Resizing from UGC to MS/MD cases is a work of one minute am I right?

[Hero's Shade]

I hate to butt in, but don't you need the actual case to figure out the dimensions? It's possible that he doesn't know. Or maybe he does and he doesn't feel like doing it. Either way, he needs the dimensions for the case.

Not sure - as i'm in europe and don't have access to any UGC's, and have never made or printed anything to UGC sizes.  I thought you had to split the image into 3, and resize front/back/spine to get correct proportions/sizes - which would affect how the grid pattern works.

Much easier to have a template at the right size to begin with, as that's the only type I would be personally working with.

Its slightly different but just enough to throw the grid out. I know this from experience as i converted the M.D template for actual M.D cases (mainly for my own use). Anyhow, i will get one up for M.S cases once i finish up the UGC version.

Cheers Grum - could I also get hold of the MD template at MD size?  Don't see it hosted here...............

You know where I live?

In austria.... Afaik that'S in europe too...

Joking aside... You can get UGC to europe if you really want them.... I bought 200 recently and the'll all come to good use(wasn't THAT expensive due to the weak dollar by the way, you just need a kind american who will reship them to you )...

hahah - oh yeah - forgot you were a Euro boy too!  Way too used to being in the minority around here! 

I've decided it's time to hit the car boot sales again, and just going to buy up all the cheap SMS/MD games i can get my hands on - then use the cases for the games I want to keep, and ebay the carts i don't like (although my box of things to go on ebay is growing and getting me into trouble~!)  So in essence - i still want to keep to original sizes regardless - a purist like you should understand that one Tik

Well...in a word 'no'. Not everything is out due to lack of space. I convinced Mrs G. to let me have our small bedroom as a games room(i had to keep a bed in there though) which i racked out 3 of the 4 walls with shelving and cupoards/drawers containing nothing but pads and memory cards.. The other wall has the tv smack in the middle with all the consoles i can squeeze around it on shelves. Ive spent untold amounts of money so as any of the machines can be switched on and played with very little fuss. I HATE plugging scarts/component/vga cables in and out just to get a machine on. The downside to having the machines out is that i have to vacuum around them everyweek to keep them all dust free(and cover all of them when im away!). Even with all the shelves, only about half the stuff is out, the rest is boxed away in the loft. I have decided to change all the DVD style boxes to 9mm ones so as to create more space,starting with XBox. I will get the cam out at the weekend and try to take a few photos as it stands. It would help if i did'nt keep buying more stuff!!.

Hey grumble!

First things first.... thanks a ton for finishing up the DR cover.... Nice work as always....

I know what you mean besides... I also have every console plugged and ready to go... You know I want to play when I want without crawling around in five cupboards geting everything out....
I suppose I haven't got as much as you though.... Only around 20 consoles ready to go....

[sheep2001]

my office/games room is supposed to have everything set up and ready to go (i posted some pics a while ago)  waiting to get the new 52 inch sony for the lounge, so i can nab the 42 inch plasma for the office, will then get everything connected - fo me shouldn't be too bad, looking at around 12-15 consoles if i keep the wii/360 and ps3 in the lounge...............

Know what you mean about buying new stuff all the time - i go through little phases of acquiring tons of stuff for one console, and then move on.
