Hey everyone, wanted to share a few things i'll be releasing in the next few days.

The custom Classic Game Boy set i released has been bugging me for some time. The back skins needed to be fixed and spines cleaned a bit and finally have got around to it. This new updated set will replace the original set, so if you don't care for what has been changed, time is running out to download the original set...

The original N64 set will also be replaced by the new skin set i posted above and i'll be releasing a new alternative 1090x458 cropped set.

These will most likely be done tomorrow or no later than Thursday, so again, the original sets will not be available within a day or two tops.

Shooting for Sunday for new Game Gear set to be completed. I already had my personal template in place while using Wally Wonka artwork released not long ago, making this go very smooth.

The artwork is spectacular (the time spent must have been plenty) and i think downgrading still looks outstanding.

After the time i spent editing, fixing and creating Genesis, C64, Amiga covers, this Sega Game Gear set is a nice change.

In the meantime, here is a GBA cover for Goodboy Galaxy.

Sega Game Gear set has been finished. Very pleased with the results myself, hopefully you will enjoy this set as much. Link is up on OP!!!

EDIT:
I made a mistake on Pengo cover. If you have already downloaded the new GG set, here is the Pengo fix... And 1 more cover added to the set GG Aleste 3...

Starting to gain some ground on Atari 8 covers. Some art is difficult to find or in very poor condition, but trying my best to clean/fix these to be worth my time.

Some of the game covers i want to include have no back art to be found, so instead of creating original art like i did for Mega Genesis, i will use gameplay screenshots with a default generic back i put together.

I had no idea the Atari 400, 800, XE games were neglected until i started testing them a few years ago. To be fair, i never had access to computer gaming growing up but as i grew older, i still always believed computer gaming was inferior to consoles.

While i still believe the NES, Genesis, Super Nintendo hold the rights to Best gaming ever, early computer gaming has its place to be mentioned and honored. ZX, Amstrad, C64 are all beautiful gaming machines and the Atari 8 is at least equal to those computers.

Saturn, PS1, N64, DC, PS2, XBOX all solid...
Love the GameCube though, last great console we have seen, maybe throw X360 a bone.

I have 200 covers completed and believe the final count will be between 850-1000 covers. Much more work to do.

Hello everyone.

On a break from the Atari 8-Bit cover set i hope to resume in the near future, i release my NEO cover set.

Please understand, this set should be an alternative to mastershoes set. These covers are very nice but not intended to represent the true art.

I do like the art very well and included some of my own creations. Many title/logos have not been placed on the art but included for preservation.

Here is a custom VC Neo cover set if you are interested. I made this simply because so many great VC Neo games were never released outside Japan for Wii.

This set is for North America (where i live) but simply change fourth letter from "E" to "P" if in PAL region or "J" if using Japan wads.

The set consists of all covers of Neo games i believe can be injected or converted (Region Free'd).
Post automatically merged:

Add/update to Neo original set for SSK4 Ultimate 11. The back is authentic and after some work looks nice, the front is not original but looks nice imo.

Hello again friends.

I have searched the internet thoroughly for authentic Sengoku 2 art recently and finally found a front image without logo. After some editing (cropped and centered) the art still needed to be cleaned.

I am still learning how some of this works, like removing/adding grain effect, removing noise, removing/adding saturation. I started with Gimp a few years ago since it is free and learned many things. I moved to Photoshop and used both to expand my capabilities, but now have removed Gimp to focus on Photoshop use.

I love photoshop and have become very capable with projects i do but some simple tasks Gimp provided, photoshop requires too much input (creating a simple black/white outline) for. Running batch actions through photoshop is beautiful and saves time that can never be given back, one of the premier features i use regularly.

It is said photoshop has many features and capabilities users are not aware of, and i happily figured out how to use one of those through trial/error. The Sengoku 2 image i wanted to remove the "grain" effect, but i am novice at this and my other pc image software cannot do this while online AI programs ask for money, which i refuse.

So, i tinker with PS settings for some time and use Filter/Stylize/Oil Paint and get a nice result. Not perfect but i love it. I wish i knew this existed for many other projects i have done but my learning experience will be used in future projects.

Here is the art...
