hey dude, did you ever get scans of Curse and Dangerous seed? I am fiending for your sick sleeves and labels! ;)

[djshok]

Yep I got 'em. Curse is gonna be next, it's almost done. I just need to finish up the back.

[Parodius Duh!]

dude, you are the man!, cant wait to see Curse!!!! these covers/repros are pretty much the reason why I got back into Genesis/megadrive. All thanks to you!!


Have you ever considered doing more Master System sleeves, specifically, the Brazilian exclusive games?

[Tron 2.0]

Sweet looking cover art there for md/genesis games.

Hmm i wouldn't mind seeing one down with el viento original cover art,i all ways thought the u.s version looked silly.

[djshok]

dude, you are the man!, cant wait to see Curse!!!! these covers/repros are pretty much the reason why I got back into Genesis/megadrive. All thanks to you!!


Have you ever considered doing more Master System sleeves, specifically, the Brazilian exclusive games?

Wow man, I'm glad you like the covers and that my little hobby had a positive effect on your collecting. The Genesis/MD is my favourite system of all time, so it's cool to see that I managed to get someone back into it. :D

Curse is almost done, just gotta put some finishing touches on it.

As for SMS stuff, yeah I could do it, I'd just need scans of the Brazilian originals.

[Parodius Duh!]

Yes my friend, you have fully influenced me, after about 12 years without a Genesis I had decided to actually go and pick one up. Now I dont know why I ever got rid of it in the first place!


Im trying to procure some Brazil Master System titles sleeve scans from a friend for you.

I also had another Request, could you make a Genesis sleeve using the original Japanese Art (also think the Euro art is exact) for "Vampire Killer" I absolutely love the Japanese art compared to the North American version (Castlevania Bloodlines), and the game is in full English already as well as much gorier with blood EVERYWHERE compared to both the NA and Euro release. AND the fact its just called "Vampire Killer" is pretty darn badass! :)

Sounds good about the SMS covers, I look forward to giving them a shot. As for Vampire Killer, I'd really need a scan of the Japanese cover. I have a scan of the European release that uses the same artwork, but it's not the best quality scan, and it has a huge Castlevania logo on it. I'd need that Japanese Vampire Killer logo.

[RCM]

This might seem like a dumb question, but what type of paper and printing process achieves a professional result that emulates the Genesis print quality/paper stock?

[Parodius Duh!]

absolutely stunning Curse artwork! I truly am amazed man! :)

What do you have planned next? I cant wait for more!


does anybody know if Genesis and Japanese Megadrive pcbs are the same size? only cart shape is different?

[Parodius Duh!]

Hey Dude, I got some Nice scans of some Brazilian Master System Exclusives, hopefully the quality is good enough (These were printed pretty badly by Tec-Toy to begin with)

X Men Mojo World: http://www.box.com/s/qbnqohcmu8dk9thuopxa

Also just to throw this out there, some Brazilian Master System exclusives just use the Regular Genesis/Megadrive artwork like Earthworm Jim, Dynamite Headdy, Ariel the Little Mermaid, Ecco The Tides of Time, Taz Escape from Mars, etc....heres an example of what they look like with the Genesis artwork: http://www.box.com/s/lvk1buu01xchavbe2znz


And just to throw this suggestion out there....It would be cool if you could do these Brazilian Exclusives in the Blue Style Sleeve they all originally come in, but with the addition of English text and whatnot. I mean regular Master System Grid style sleeve is cool too! up to you! you are the artist after all! Thanks again for all your hard work my friend! ;)

[djshok]

This might seem like a dumb question, but what type of paper and printing process achieves a professional result that emulates the Genesis print quality/paper stock?

The best paper to use is glossy magazine/brochure paper. Any thickness is good, generally a thicker paper is better, though don't go as thick as cardstock because it doesn't bend well and tends to crack. As for printing, any decent modern printer: inkjet or laser will do. Personally I'd recommend laser because the covers are very colour heavy and will waste all your ink if you're using inkjet. The quality and proper calibration of the printer will also play a role in how good your prints turn out, so just keep that in mind. Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Not sure what I'll do next, I have a few covers that are half done that I'll likely finish up. I'm doing a conversion of Sword of Vermilion that uses the kickass Japanese artwork instead of the dumbass crap the American release got. I also need to finish the cover for a Sonic hack: Mighty the Armadillo in Sonic the Hedgehog 1. Those shouldn't take too long, after that I'll most likely do Dangerous Seed next.

As for the PCBs, yes they're the same size, so you can effectively take out a Japanese MD PCB and put it into a Genesis shaped cartridge and it'll fit. The only thing is some the Japanese ones have the holes drilled in slightly different places than the Genesis boards do. So what you might need to do is shave the little plastic pegs inside the cart case to make the board fit properly. It's pretty easy to do with a razor or sharp knife, you only have to shave off about 1mm.

Also, thanks for the SMS scans, I'll have to see what I can do.

[Parodius Duh!]

Thanks for the info dude!

[MachineGex]

HBow is that game(TeddyBoy Blues)? I always thought if they named the Master System game something else, that game would have been appreciated by more people. I know it was years before I finally played it, because the name just turned me off.

[djshok]

The Mega Drive version is pretty much the same idea as the SMS game except with nicer graphics: better colours, nicer backgrounds, more detail etc... Gameplay is the same, except there's no music. I assume it's because they needed to keep the rom as small as possible since it was a Mega Net title and the Sega Modem had a whopping speed of 1,600 bits/s. Also, the SMS game was just called Teddy Boy in North America.

I know what you mean about the name putting you off from playing it. I don't mind this one, but I had a similar thing happen to me with Gunstar Heroes. The cover art put me off that game for a pretty long time. The North American art is just so ugly.

[Cryomancer]

The best version of that game is the Mega CD one, as you get some pretty catchy vocal arranged songs.

Has anyone ever done had their Famicom games translated? NESReproductions says that if an English patch exists for a game, he can just put the translated ROM onto the board. I would prefer this to getting translated games in NES cartridges, just for the sake of authenticity.

Is there any sort of rights issue about this? Most translators put their credit on the title screen, but I don't know...

I've never had that done, but I'm pretty sure what they do is take the board out of the cartridge case and put in one of their boards with the burned EPROM chip. So you basically just get a repro inside your original cart shell. As for rights issues, there are always rights issues when someone wants to raise them. If someone wants to be enough of a dick about it they can make the case that even translating a rom is illegal.

[wingzrow]

What size paper should I be printing these out on?

Also, does anyone know what kind of paper PS2 games were printed on?

Finally, again, if anyone can vouche for a printer i should try I need a new one. The pile I have from walmart won't even print PS2 covers because it's too small, too high resolution, or maybe a combination of those.

Unless of course you guys think it's still smarter to go to a store to have them printed out.

[Polygon]

I wouldn't buy a printer just to print covers. If you were going to buy a printer anyhow, go for it. Just get a good inkjet unless you can afford a good color laser printer. For Genesis covers I've been using 8.5" x 11" photo paper and it's been perfect for me. You might need to bump up to legal sized from some covers.

It would be easier and cheaper for you to go somewhere to print them out though. They're going to use nice laser printers and they're going to have the right paper as well. As for the paper used on PS2 covers. You're not going to find it. Just go with a good gloss or semi gloss photo paper.

[djshok]

The Sega clamshell sized covers will fit on a standard 8.5"x11" page. The UGC ones will not, they're just a little too big, so you'll have to print them on a larger page, like 11"x17" or an in between size if you can get one.

I'm not 100% sure what paper they used for PS2 covers, it looks like a thicker variety of magazine paper though. Probably available from stationary or print shops.

As for whether you should buy a printer, well that all depends on how much printing you plan to do. If you're just planning to print a few covers here and there then you're probably better off going to a print shop. Now if you plan to do a lot of printing, then it'll likely be worth your while to invest in a decent printer for home. The only thing I should warn you about is these covers are really high colour so they're going to use up a lot of ink/toner. While toner cartridges typically last for a long time, they're pretty damn expensive, especially the colour ones, so keep that in mind.

As for what printers are the best, I don't really know enough to compare any. I have a Samsung printer/scanner/photocopier-in-one and it works great. If you want some comparisons of current models though, go on a site like Best Buy and read the customer reviews, that's what I did a few years ago when buying mine.

[wingzrow]

So I went top my local store that does this sort of thing, and had them print out a few covers from thecoverproject as a test and none of them came out right!

The DVD cover for REZ on dreamcast was too big the first time and has the sides cut off, and the second time when they unticked the page fitting option, it was too small but had the entire picture.

Any idea what went wrong?

Aren't those covers suppose to match DVD cases as 1-1 copies?

I can't say if the UGC cover for mega man x3 i had them print is the right size but it definently doesn't fit sega genesis cases.

http://i43.tinypic.com/29di7fs.jpg

http://i40.tinypic.com/a25hc8.jpg

[Polygon]

Who cut them out, you or the clerk? As for which case they fit, that depends. Some covers are done for the slim DVD cases and some are done for the standard DVD case. It specifies what case you're downloading at The Cover Project. As for the Mega Man cover, no, UGC covers will not fit right in a Genesis case. They are a different size.

How's the quality? From the pictures they look like crap.

[wingzrow]

They look ok, tried a thicker cardboard stock of paper so if I do this again i'm trying magazine paper or something.

EDIT: here's the case I tried to print out. It says DVD CASE STANDARD so i have no idea what went wrong.

http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=4004

[djshok]

Hmm well when you print, always print from photoshop. Before you hit print check the dimesions. (It's in Image > Image Size)

For UGC they should be: 3366x2100 pixels at 300DPI

For Sega clamshell they should be: 3188x2020 pixels at 300DPI

DVD case covers should be: 3225x2156 pixels at 300 DPI

If those dimensions check out then your prints should come out ok.

EDIT: Also, yes, UGC cases are larger then Genesis cases, so the UGC covers will not fit into a Sega clamshell case, you need to put those into a Universal Game Case. Which can be purchased from a place like this http://www.nintendorepairhut.com/accessories/snesaccessories.html (about 3/4 down the page ((Called SNES rental case on that page))).

The beauty of these covers is incredible.

[charlie30]

its a fantastic job. i have no idea how to you made that covers but they are like an official made by sega or nintendo. im trying to make it some using paint buy they are very very bad :(
maybe i will put some of my work.
by the way, i have send some messages to see if you could sell me some for mega drive o create.

[wingzrow]

Does anyone here feel like taking requests from the cover project, printing them out for me, puting them into universal game cases, and then selling them to me for cheap? I have aTON of games that need cases.

I have something like 35 NES games with no boxes, as well as 20 SNES game carts that I could really use some display cases for.

Same could be said for a few PS2 games but that's mostly a cosmetic thing ( i hate the box art for breath of fire dragon quarter's american release )

[djshok]

This game isn't very good, but for some reason I've been enjoying it despite the terrible jumping mechanic. I hope that someone eventually hacks this thing to fix the jumping because it would otherwise be a decent game.

Fantastic Stuff as usual! Can we expect any more custom Master System sleeves? I need one badly for Dynamite Headdy, Legend of Illusion, Fire N Ice, and Ren & Stimpy: Quest for the Shaven Yak. Id love to see what you can come up with!!!!!

also, how about Golden Axe III and Vampire Killer???

[djshok]

Golden Axe III is the next one actually. It's almost done, I just need to play through it to get screenshots (the ones online suck). As for the SMS stuff. I'll get to at some point, I've just been really busy lately. But don't worry it'll happen.

AWESOME! I cant friggin' wait! :)

Here it is!

Beautiful :(

You could have worked for sega designing these man!

[djshok]

Thanks man! I would've loved to have worked for Sega back in the 90s, except I was like 10 at the time lol.

Where is the cheapest place to buy a bunch of UGC cases in bulk? I need maybe 50 of them.

Also, do you really need to modify every single one for NES games? Nobody sells UGCs that come ready to use for NES on arrival?

[Parodius Duh!]

Ebay? I won a lot of 30 UGC's for $18, Id say try your luck there. Dont know about NES carts fitting into UGC's........you can always just get the classic NES hardcases, won a lot of 25 of them for $11

Well if you'd be willing to buy 100 UGCs then the best place by far is here: http://www.mediashelving.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=W&Product_Code=USCG

As for NES games, yeah those are tricky, people modify UGCs or 28mm thick 8-way dvd cases to store them. As far as I know there is no case that's designed to hold NES carts without some mod work. I know, it's a pain.

bumping this awesome thread


any chance you can do a localization of Darwin 4081?

[Razo00]

Do you have a Bare Knuckle 2 Cover? Also, what kind of paper do you use to print your covers? Is there a specific app you use to print these covers?

[djshok]

Man, I've been wanting to make a cover for this game since before I made any of these other repro covers, finally it is done! Had to get an actual artist to draw the character since there is virtually no artwork available for this game.

I could give Darwin a try, not sure how good that scan I have is, but I'll take a look. As for how to print these: it's best to print from photoshop to ensure that the covers don't get resized. However most modern aps should be able to handle it. Just don't print from MS Paint. For the paper, the best results are on magazine paper, it's glossy laser paper (like the kind used in magazines).

[Parodius Duh!]

very cool, whatever you could come up with for Darwin would be greatly appreciated :)

Hey, I noticed your replacement sleeves for cardboard box games thread on sega-16. Any chance you could take that Castlevania Bloodlines sleeve you made and slightly alter it for Vampire Killer? Ive been dying for a VK repro. maybe you could come up with a quick label using that art you already have? Thanks again dude!

[djshok]

I'll see about a Vampire Killer cover. Give me a few days.

In the meantime: Here's the cover for the very recently dumped unreleased Mr. Nutz 2 aka Mr. Nutz Hoppin' Mad. The source code had been available for ages, but just a few days ago Sega Saturno released a compiled and fully playable rom.

Another version of Golden Axe III. This is actually the original artwork that was planned for the North American release that never happened. The artwork is by Boris Vallejo, the same artist who did the art for the previous 2 GA games.
