New Genesis/Mega Drive covers....

[Grumbleduke]

been trying to up the raw for a couple of days now - and it sits there trying to upload for ages, then just reverts to the upload cover screen, no errors or timeouts - and it's not there in the raw uploads folder.  has anyone else had any probs uploading raws?  will try again tonight, and might have to take it down to 300dpi (currently at 600).

edit: took it down to 300dpi and it went 1st time - must have been timing out due to file size............

Dynamite Duke (NTSC/J)



Anyone who has seen the Genesis/E.U versions of this cover (truly horrific, the Master System one onsite is similar to give some idea just how horrific) would probably say this JP was a lot better. The strange Yellow screenshot must have been a mistake i think, but its on the original.
But wait...Dynamite Duke!? Isn't that Dolph Lundgren??

Hum, Hi guys! I'm kinda new around here...

Well, I just wanted to say that some links aren't working anymore.
Such as Splatterhouse 2 for Mega Drive http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=8672

Fantastic work you've all done here!

[Grumbleduke]

First up, Welcome Aboard! 

I checked the Splatterhouse 2 links and both the Genesis and MD versions work fine for me.May be someone else could try them and confirm? . However, the templates seem to be down and we will check into that.

Confirming that both Splatterhouse 2 covers work fine....

[Eyzmaster]

...What? Really... Okay then... Sorry guys : P

I'll just tell you what the problem seems to be from my point of view (maybe someone can help me understand it!)
On this page http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=8672
I see both Available Covers previews...
When I click download for any of the 2 covers, it loads forever and when I'm finally able to save a cover, I get a 0 ko/octet file of nothing...

Am I doing something wrong??
(I'm sorry to sound like such a n00b... I really wanted to print a cover for the Megadrive cartridge I bought this week.. Or make my own cover but the Megadrive template is also down and making it from scratch is gonna take me the whole day...)

Anyway thank you guys! Great website! (despite my Splatterhouse problem..)
I'm gonna try to understand what my problem seems to be...

there is something wrong with you connection or something.
I tried to download the black one by clicking the download button/text and it downloaded just fine.

Could it be because I'm using Firefox and/or I'm from Europe? (sometimes download and streaming websites can't be accessed from other countries.)

EDIT: Okay...so I had a friend download it for me and send it to me by msn...
What is wrong with my connection?... I'll have to look into it!

Great scan! Thanks so much tiktektak for the scan! Keep up the great work^^

Nope - i'm in the UK and use firefox, ans it's working fine.  Try deleting all your temporary internet files and trying again.

I'm from europe too... Maybe you are using a router or proxy server?

By the way this cover isn't just a scan it's a wonderful template(grumbles stellar work) combined with  one or two hours of my lifetime....

[Eyzmaster]

The problem seems to be from the internet ports I'm using/proxy config problems...
Anyway thanks for all the help!

tiktektak> Oopsie, sorry man!
I know it was a re-worked artwork from the contrast and sharpness between the cover artwork and the mega drive template. Sorry once again ; )
Great work! Very pro! It looks great! I really appreciate allthe work done on this website to preserve and save our good ol' retro game covers^^

The Addams Family (da-da-da-dum...click...click) (PAL/E.U)



Straight from the original Flying Edge case.

[tiktektak]

Oh I really loved the Addams Family series as a kid!

Nice cover by the way....

I suppose the game isn't any good though right?

[Grumbleduke]

Its not too bad actually. Its a basic platformer but has enough unique stuff to stand it out a little from the crowd. Pretty tough challenge too.
