Could someone use the awesome US red banner template to create a custom US cover for Megaman: The Wily Wars? The Megadrive blue cover sticks out like a sore thumb. I realize it would be an alternative cover as Wily Wars has no US version. Still, I think it would be fairly easy using the blue Megadrive cover that's already on the site.

@Shenske
Can you please upload a picture real fast to explain how you fit 9 Genesis labels on a single piece of paper?  Because if you could print 9 labels for under $1, I would love to print some new labels out as I have many that really need fixed.

I have been having problems lately where a cover is not printed to scale.  A simple link to one of your "prints" to super impose some new labels over yours, it would be very much appreciated!

Exactly as irvgotti45 said with his first idea. I just copy and paste them to a blank canvas of 8"x10.5" (half an inch less in length and height that way nothing gets cut off).  You can fit a lot of labels on one sheet that way.

There is an example of how i oriented the labels in my box.net profile in my signature under "other stuff".  FYI I didnt place my labels as close to the borders as i show in the example but it should be fine considering the canvas area is 1/2" short on the length and height.

I plan on tackling this one too, its on the ever-growing list of to-dos.

Yes, i didn't do much though. I just changed the red colors and switch some logos around.  You can find the template in my box.net profile in my signature under "templates".

I always found it a little disappointing how some of the coolest Gensis games had really lame back covers, so I figured I'd do something about it  ;D


(ignore the white line on top, it's not actually there in the real cover, just a glich in Imandix)

Also, if anyone wants stickers of the above covers, let me know I'll put 'em up somewhere,  maybe I'll make one of those box.net accounts...

This one has quite a few differences than the retail version so i'll make another one based on the retail cover.

I cooked this one up. Vectored a few things on there and the old sega seal (if anybody needs it let me know). Only thing bothering me with this one are the screen shots. I dont have any software on my pc to make new ones. so if anybody can contribute that would be GGGGRRRRREEEEEAAAAATTTTTT! lol

For me original screens are indeed good enough but nonetheless "screenshotted" screenshots look much crisper and less blurry.
