Go to Google Images, Search tools, Size, Large.
Or look at some covers on the site, some of the inlays uses Japanese box art.

I've tried doing that, but I can't even find the pictures you used. I see this one, but it's not as wide as the one you used. This has been the main problem with all the pictures I've found. Not only that, but you want the main focus of the picture to be on the left side. It seems that the options are very limited.

The inlays you've made look extremely professional, and the ones I'm coming up with look pretty bad.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!  I gotta stop coming into this thread!  I wanna do this so badly, but there's no way I'm starting over

Why would you need to start over? I just print mine on another piece of paper and put it on the inside. Works just fine. Then it doesn't affect your covers should they be changed in the future.

@Zalman - I have a few Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie inlays in my Box inlay folder: http://www.box.net/shared/98g8or4rj6tqzvab0ds3

Thanks! I'll use those. The picture quality doesn't seem to be that great, but I guess that's how most stuff is going to look in that massive size...

I really think this thread needs more support. Such a great idea.

Yeah unfortunately old art for Rare's games, or most older games for that matter are pretty low resolution.

However, I've found that because the UGCs are only mostly clear, you see the picture on the inside but don't see the full detail (or lack thereof). So you can get away with lower quality images for inlays. Same goes for the clear EU DS cases.

Wow this is awesome.  I want to try this on some of my boxes tonight.  I like the ones for Super Metroid you guys have posted so far.  Great work once again, larryinc64, hats off.

Following suit, I've edited my post on page 1 to also serve as a list of the inlays I've got. I'll also be using Larry's nice template to make some new ones!

Forgive my ignorance, but what does the WIP mean next to some of these?

Work In Progress I believe.

Oh that makes sense, thanks!

A lot of work goes into a lot of my inlays, the entire right 1/3rd of my Mario 64 cover was rebuilt with parts from the other 2/3. My Super Mario Kart used 3 different images mixed together, also soon after I finished i find a good scan of the entire art.  Its a big pain.
I know some tricks to help lower quality images look better too, such as Smart Sharpen and Blur, Or some filters.

Added another Star Fox 64 inlay, and some generic ones for Indiana Jones and Back to the Future. Also a Super Mario World one, featuring the map - credit to Mike Ballan.

I am totally printing out that UMK3!  I love that it have the move set on them.

Where is this inlay? I've searched the whole thread and I'd really like to add an inlay to my UMK3 case.

It'd be really cool if there was a Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 inlay as well. Maybe one with Goro and/or the MK logo and another one showing off Sub Zero holding the severed head spine or Kano's fatality with the heart in hand.

It'd be neat if there were move lists on them too.

Thanks

Wow, that is awesome! Seems like this will be harder than I thought...

I'm going to try to do some myself, and I'll post them if they turn out good.

By the way, I see you posted a picture of a Conker cartridge in the OP. Are you planning to do an inlay for that?

[FritzWhite]

I printed out a few more inlays for my games. I have an inkjet printer and I realized that I really have to pay attention the level of contrast in pictures before I print. If they don't have enough contrast it comes out looking kind of shitty. Notice the Star Wars inlay with Luke fighting Vader. It's a little tough to tell things apart there, but hey, it beats a blank piece of paper. Thanks
