Homebrew Cover Collections for Emulators With Cover Support

[mightymuffy]

Just thought I'd go through my snes collection and point out coverless roms because I have nothing better to do at the moment.

I've done a couple of those, but they're mainly in the PAL style format, and not as good as the main gang can do of course:

Gokujou Parodius (couldn't tell if you wanted Parodius 1 & 2 or Power Instinct 1 & 2, so I've chucked up Parodius 2 & 3 )

Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius

They'll do as a placeholder I suppose.. As for the others, R-Type 3 has been done, isn't Wario's Woods aka Mario & Wario (if so, that's also been done), and the Clayfighter:TE cover can be used for CF1 as bar a couple of extra stages/speed selects they're the same game... still, if you're after a full set, you've got a point!

Space Knight - Tekkaman Blade
Steven Segal is the Final Option.

Tekkaman is freaking awesome and I must play now, was probably one of the first anime's I'd ever seen and Steven Segal had an SNES game..? how the hell did I miss such epic-ness lol

and indeed I was going to point that MightyMuffy did tackle a couple of those covers as well I just wasn't 100% sure which ones. Good job pointing those out, though if they could be made to put on an NTSC template it would be ideal for me

Hey all this is my first post to this forum, tho I have been using your box arts for a while and love the work you guys are doing on this project. I have a cover I want to post, that was missing from the Neo-Geo set, and a few alts I edited with different naming, as I use USA bios on my Neo-Geo emulators the name of some of the games are different than the covers in your set. These are not perfect by any means as I lack any real Photoshop skills.

Unfortunately these only have front covers because as I have stated lack Photoshop skills, but perhaps someone will pick them up and add a spine and back.

Spoiler

The Last Blade (Missing from set)

Spoiler

Sonic Wings 3 (Edited. USA name = Aero Fighters 3)

Spoiler

Karnovs Revenge (Edited. USA name = Fighters History Dynamite)

Ok this one I spent a lot of time on. I tried to get the title in the top right corner since its so blank up there, and get it off karnovs face, but no success at least not without making the picture look like crap. Perhaps someone with some better skills would like to attempt.

Spoiler

The Ultimate 11 Super Sidekicks 4 (Edited USA name = The Ultimate 11 SNK Football Championship)

Ok this probably really is not a big deal, The Ultimate 11 Super Sidekicks 4 to The Ultimate 11 SNK Football Championship, really is not that much of a difference but the game on my system reads as The Ultimate 11 SNK Football Championship and I like consistency .

Well that is what I got, once again thanks for all the work you guys put into this project.

 

[ToddofWar420]

Thanks drakorex. When it comes to covers, anything always helps. I just go by my SNES rom folder of coverless games and pick them off like that. (Right now I think I have 383 SNES roms left) I'm more mainly concerned with all the repo's of Japanese translations, and new releases out there that are not on the list. Those can be easily missed.

-Update 01-30-14: Big Update to the Intellivision Set! Thanks to Wiimpathy , our set has more than doubled going from 57 to 117 + 3 alts. I also renamed the whole set (old & new) to the most compatible no-intro set out there. All links are live,have fun!

 

[ToddofWar420]

Here you guys go. This cover is not my best work but just a quickie. I'll go and retype the back text and try to find a better quality image when I can. Right now just been tryin to get a SNES update put together. 40+ done so far..

And just real quick in my opinion, converting images to jpg does lose quality in images. After doing much side by side comparisons, I find that jpg is more blurry and does save space as to png being more sharper around the edges and outlines.

 

[MassiveRican]

Yea I figured it would, considering the amount of space your saving I'd say your definitely sacrificing something lol. Although until my setup is complete I need to see how much space I'll have left. If there's enough I'll use PNG's again.

Damn that's an impressive update to intellivision btw guys, crazy I just finished the 57 yesterday and then today bam doubling the amount XD

Thanks for the covers I see Wiimpathy stays hard at work all over the place huh

 

[ToddofWar420]

...I just finished the 57 yesterday and then today bam doubling the amount XD

Bro, I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me!

 

[Wiimpathy]

Not a big secret but yeah I've made scripts to download images from a website, convert and create the full covers with front/back/spine. Off course, most need gimp/photoshop work to improve them. Mastershoes helps to fix some.
I wish more people could help...

 

[MassiveRican]

bahh! Couldn't find Space Patrol Teaser for Intellivision. The site seems to be down and I can't find a mirror, this blows, so close to being complete.

 

[Wiimpathy]

Not sure what you mean by teaser. Space patrol is already in Mastershoes archive.
I don't know how many covers are missing.
Wikipedia says 152 games. 13 aren't playable since they are for the Tutorvision console.
However, there are also homebrews and recent releases like Space cunt (?!) : full list
A lot of covers can be found here.

Sorry what I meant was I can't find the actual homebrew game, the cover is already in his archive like you stated. Space Patrol Teaser was a free-to-play demo that left turn only released so that people could try the game out prior to purchasing it. Most websites with the demo all forward to the same site which seems to be down.

EDIT: Well just tried again today and the site is up, must've been a lot of traffic or something yesterday. I'm all set now, thanks again for the work you put into the covers guys.

 

[sion_zaphod]

I have updated the Vectrex set with some custom covers. It's 100% complete for original released games, I did not make covers for PD roms. I have posted the complete set for mastershoes. Here are some examples of whats in the set:-

Hope you like.

 

[mightymuffy]

Well, my project "Get the lads back working on the SNES stuff" seems to have been a rip roaring success with Toddy doing another 40-odd covers - my work here is done haha! (still editing my personal collection with PAL covers though)

Onto the Amiga then! Many of these were done before the Mastershoes pack so don't fit with those - only the most recent one used it (and was that the US box style by the way, or something you added?) Again, usual low-quality-muffy stuff, and a couple are even PC back covers looking at them now *blushes*

Spoiler

Cannon Fodder

Cannon Fodder 2

Count Duckula (not the best game ever lol, but hey, it's Duckula!! )

Holiday Lemmings '93

Holiday Lemmings '94

New Zealand Story

Oh No! More Lemmings

Pac-Mania

Parasol Stars

Edit: 2 more

Spoiler

Agony

Akira (could only find a CD32 cover)

 

[MassiveRican]

Thanks mighty muffs I'm using a good 6 covers of the Amiga ones u just uploaded since I have the games on my drive. Really digging the Akira and Agony covers.

 

[mastershoes]

-Update 02-01-14: Big Vectrex Update! sion_zaphod has helped to bring this set from 8 covers to 33! This covers all official releases except for a handful of protoypes. Thanks s_z for knocking those out! Also an added bonus.. I gathered up all the Vectrex Overlays I could find and added a link for those too. If you don't know, the overlays go in the same folder as your vectrex roms, named the same as the rom (no extension needs to be added).

Edit: mightymuffy I grabbed the ones that fit the current template (Akira, etc) and will add them to the next Amiga update.. if you decide to convert your others or make anymore i'll add those too Thanks mang!

 

[mightymuffy]

Ooo, cheers everyone! Found doing SNES covers a bit fiddly to be honest but I'm enjoying doing these Amiga ones! I've got quite a list I want to do so over the coming days (probably weeks more like!) I'll get cracking. In the meantime it's been lashing down all day today here in Northern England so I've made a few more.... After these I'll chuck the rest into a pack and pass them on to mastershoes (will also revert to png from now on)

All New World of Lemmings (1200/AGA though, not sure if it works but my family are big lemmings fans/completionist sake)

Clayfighter (USA)

When in doubt, EBAY, my friend! You'd be surprised the quality images you can find there sometimes!

[halen]

I sent to Mastershoes a fullset covers of PC-FX, but three games are lost and need roms. They are: Cocktail Pack, Nnyuu (2 discs) and G-Maker.
