Here's my take on Rayman 2 for jonsered.

Wow, looks great. I still don't know where you guys find the great artwork. I have tried my hand at a couple of covers, and either I can never find anything decent, or it looks like crap when i try to piece it together. Oh well I guess I'll just leave it to more professionals like yourself, Thanks a bunch!

Im gonna try to pick up a scanner this weekend.  And can anyone give me a good program to print out covers?  Im using paint and it keeps cutting the picture off like an inch too early

Any chance on a custom Metal Slug Cover?

Was Metal Slug released on the Dreamcast?

Nope, I'm almost positive it's just been "released" as homebrew/emulated software.

By the way, I'll be adding the rest of your DC covers now. So everybody who's wondering why the links in this thread don't work anymore, it's because they're in the process of being added. Every cover posted in this thread will be available in an hour or so.

Sweet! I can dig that. (That's why I decided to post IMANDIX previews for everything)

BTW, other than Half-Life and Propeller Arena (games that were finished, and for some reason no released) are we going to post Covers for Homebrew stuff? I would think that would be against our stance on piracy.

Done.It's all up.

For homebrew it's a case by case decision. I know there's a homebrew Quake for DC which is really good. id Software published Quake's source code so others could make mods or whatever they want with it. In this case I'd say we could host a Quake cover for DC without having a guilty conscience.

In case of discs full of emulated software (like a SNES emu with a full or huge ROM set) I'd say it's definitely a no-go.
Same with Metal Slug unfortunately. I'm pretty sure SNK didn't publish the source code and it's just emulated. If I'm wrong about it Seasian just tell me. I'm not into the DC homebrew scene that much.

Btw, Lumberjack42, once you're through with all your covers could you create covers from my raw scans? They're in the DC Raw section, they're the scans without a username.

I can give them a shot. The question is, do you want the rears as accurate as possible, with all languages present? I only ask because, being the lazy American I am, I don't know French, German or Italian (or is it Portuguese the use on PAL covers?)

BTW, has Snocone removed the old versions of Crazy Taxy 2, Hydro Thunder and WWF Royal Rumble yet?

If you ask me, English is enough. If I was so anal about accuracy I wouldn't request a DVD cover in the first place :) Actually it's not even a request per definition, I'm on the fence of recasing my collection. I'm not entirely sure though but havig all the covers I need readily available on the sight once I have made up my mind sounds like a good idea ;) LOL

As far as I've seen he didn't delete the old covers. PM him directly about it, I think that'd be best.

I was looking for this cover in the upload queue but didn't find it. Did you upload it or did your post show a work in progress screenshot?
