Update 10-30-13: A new Atari 7800 set has been added! I initially was just cleaning up RiCK420's recent contributions, but ended up re-building the majority of them from scratch (re-typed all the back text, cleaner art, re-worked the spines, etc.) and adding a few more. Some of RiCK420's work was used though. Big props to him for getting this project going! I then took the original set of 21 covers (by TCP artists) with this one and tweaked everything to make all the small details more uniform, so everything lines up throughout the set. Standard and shrunken spine set's have been uploaded.. get 'em while there hot!

ToddofWar420 - Set released, your turn! :P

I hate seeing pal on pal covers, since you don't see ntsc on others. No offense to any of my "pals" out there.

is there a way of defaulting to either the PAL or NTSC Coverset - and only using the alternate coverset where there's no equivalent from your preferred set? Or associate both NTSC and PAL titles with the same Cover. No one seems particularly bothered, but indicating the region might be possible via other means - it doesn't have to be embedded in the image - so It might avoid a lot of duplication if that's the only real difference in a cover.
:)
EDIT:btw, very offended;)

Olá, amigos!
Sou novo por aqui!
Vi o trabalho de vocês e curti bastante, na verdade, eu já havia visto em outro site. O meu foco é o Nintendo 8 bits, pois adoro esse console, porém, notei que somente possui capas "usa" e "europeu", não tem as do famicom "asia, japan e etc".

Bem, decidi fazer algumas covers de famicom system, inclusive há as capas 2d, 3d, cartridges 2d e 3d também.

Aqui vão alguns dos que já fiz:

Essas são as que fiz hoje!
Postei aqui para adicioná-las ao pacote do tópico, pois em nenhum lugar vi os cartuchos de famicom e derivados.

À medida do possível vou atualizando as capas!

Abraço á todos!

ugh, can a mod add spoilers to above post?

Also, not to be rude willkuat, but you have to use english on this forum.
Thanx though for the covers.

*UPDATE: shoving this trough google roughly translates to:

Hello, friends!
I'm new here!

I saw your work and I enjoyed it a lot, actually, I had seen it on another site.
My focus is the 8-bit Nintendo because I love this system, however, i have noticed that the "us" and "Europe" covers do not have the famicom logo like the "asia, japan" and so on.
Well, I decided to do some covers of famicom system, there are covers in 2d and 3d, 2d and 3d cartridges also.

Here are some of what I've done:

[pictures]

These are what I did today!

I posted them here so the OP can add them to the package, because nowhere else i have seen famicom cartridges and derivatives.

I will be updating the covers as much as possible!

Will embrace all! (this sentence was not clear to me so i left it after translation).

Those are all VERY BASIC questions, and absolutely ALL of that information is in the OP, as well as the wiiflowwiki. Try reading through the basics first please. :)

Well first, thanks for the contributions. Please note that this is an English speaking forum, and use a translator if you can. Also, in the future PLEASE USE SPOILERS!!!!! For the love of god it's the very first thing written in the OP. Seriously, go look at it!

Also, if you're still working on these sets and would like me to incorporate them, please send me a zip file with all the covers included. I haven't been spending any time on the 2d/3d/cart sets at all recently, as it's all about full covers these days.

ahh thank you i forgot the wiki :D im sorry for this
P.S.: you have an PM from me.

Hmm okay i taked a look at

https://sites.google.com/a/koureio.net/usbloadergx/
and
https://sites.google.com/site/wiiflowiki4/changing-arcade-roms-titles


But they're not answering my questions :(


How to use this covers ?

Which Resolution does a cover need ?

What kind of a name must have the game file ?

Where to place this covers ? On SD Card ? HDD ? Game Folder ?

Wiki explains how to "add custom titles"

But each emulator has his own folders, and why zip file ?
And i dont wanna use custom titles, i will use if its doable GameTDB.
Or simply my home made covers :D

Im have little skill with Photoshop and graphics design.


GameTDB supporting this time those games:

WiiWare, Homebrew, VC-NES, VC-SNES, VC-N64, VC-SMS (Master System), VC-MD (Megadrive/Genesis), VC-PCE (PC-Engine/Turbografx-16), VC-C64, VC-NEOGEO, VC-Arcade

So why not use it ?





I tried this

0367 - Golden Sun.gba
AZ8P - Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Ages.gbc
SLES-02781 Harvest Moon - Back to Nature.bin


Folder structure is

L:\vbagx\roms\AZ8P - Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Ages.gbc

or

L:\vbagx\roms\Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Ages [AZ8P]\ AZ8P.gbc


And where to put Cover files ? None of this wiki pages eplayins which Resolution a cover needed.




Help a noob please :D out of his confusion.

* sorry for making trouble here ^^ maybe i hold some people and threads alive :D

Sorry friends!
Is it posted fast and did not pay much attention to detail. Sorry for not posting the images in spoiler too!

I had not posted in English because I do not know much about. But now I'm using the google translator.

I'm working on famicom cartridges Asian and Brazilian (here in Brazil cartridges are parallel, I believe that throughout Latin America as well).

I'm looking for more art label cartridges to complete the letters "A", "B", "C" and "D". Once finished, I will put all in a folder and leveling! But as I said, will take a while, as there are many cartridges. So I posted a preview of some (and sorry again for having polluted the topic without putting the images in spoiler).

Any progress I'm posting here, who have some labels and want contruibuir just say!

Thanks ;).

-Update 11-09-13: A pretty GINORMOUS update to the SNES Horizontal Cover Set!!! It includes: 98 New Covers; 24 Cleaned/Updated Covers; 5 New Alternate Covers; and 1 to swap out from the prior set (previous goes to alts). Our very own cover hero ToddofWar420 has been hard at work, and has put together a massive update. I also had a few more lying around from TCP, and a recent contribution from Cypher16 that have been included as well. All I had to do was tweak all the spines and logo's to match the rest of the set. Pretty painless. Thanks for the awesome contribution!!! All folders and links have been updated, including the "master sets", and there's an update folder in the individual download's folder as usual, with an update .rar in there as well. (Under "##Newly Added 11-10-13").

Also, I moved "Creativision" and "SG-1000" covers to "2nd Generation Systems" where they belong.. Whoops! XD

Now go get your flow on.

Just to get it cleared off the updates list....

-Update 11-14-13: A very small update to the Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance sets (Thanks again Tow!). There are only two new covers for each set, so there is no update .rar. If you want to grab them from the individual downloads folder, the new covers are: Gameboy Color - Dragon Ball Z - Legendary Super Warriors (USA), and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (USA); Gameboy Advance - Pokemon - Arcoiris Version (USA) (Emerald Hack) and Pokemon - Naranja Version (USA) (Ruby Hack). All inclusive .rars have been updated.

EDIT:

-Update 11-15-13: Added an NES update. Includes 9 New, 3 Cleaned/Updated, and 2 New Alternate covers. All links and folders have been updated, and there's an update folder in the individual download's folder as usual, with an update .rar as well.
