Odd this in that the front , in particular the title is off centre. However the Genesis logo is central so it must be a design flaw. Or maybe they meant to do it.... :-\

Wow, looks good.  Do you have the JP cover? Could you do one?

All i have is an average scan of it. I will try to clean it up and see how it looks though.

Couple of customs - on the way to completing my MD collection (well, as long as i stop buying them that is)

http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/sheep2001.custom.genesis_%5Bmd%5Drocketknight_gb.jpg

Now you uploaded the Indiana Jones cover for the second time and still it is in a really strange resolution....

3142x1972 pixel....???? What case should that be for? It's very unfortunate beacause we haven't got those two covers on our site at the moment and I'd love to add them but if they're wrongly sized they're unusable....

Besides I also upload all your game gear covers at the moment at least those that were usable.... Unfortunately quite a few of them obviously came from low res scans and even vectormnagic can't fix everything(especially the backs looked pretty bad sometimes).... On a side not sheep you should always double check if your covers are correctly sized....

Thansk for your time sheep.... Especially good Game Gear covers are very welcome....

they are sized for the original cases - much like a raw scan would be - i'll see if i can find the time to drop them into UGC template.

With regards to the GG stuff - it's REALLY hard finding some decent usable stuff on the net, and since all mine are cart only i've not been left much option.  Thought it was worth upping them as there were so few around here to begin with, but i understand if they don't get added.  Not meaning to double your workload Tik  8)


edit:   have re-upped rocket knight with UGC template - is it OK?

I know what you mean regarding GG covers.... The ones I made available are really good the others aren't unfortunately.... It's just much work to double check each cover if it is really high res or just scaled up....

The Rocket Knight Adv. for UGC seems to be the right resolution but it is only 800kB in size.... Could it be that you saved it in photoshop with a low quality level(make sure to always save it at level 12)....?

Sonic Spinball (JP)



Hmmm. This is going to need to be looked at. The original idea was to take an average to poor scan that i found somewhwere and fit it into the PAL template as a custom. Sonic was nice and big on the front so it came out ok. Then dmc1974 expressed an interest in the JP version so i looked around and found one over at Zonesega that appeared to be the one i had, but with their logo removed. So, as there was no other versions to be found, ive attempted to clean it up and redo as much of the stuff that looked crap as possible. All of the text has been redone or cleaned in some way as have all the icons and logos. Its still not great but as there is no other option (less someone has it and wants to donate a scan),i have uploaded it and if anyone wants it,grab it  a.s.a.p in case it gets scrubbed. :)

and the E.U custom is in down in the uploads too.
