Why GTDB doesnt have boxarts and covers from others consoles?


It would be great for loaders that support Emulators

can someone upload a full High-res cover pack?​

 

[Aractus]

What a great resource! I've just upped some covers (the quality of the existing ones were generally not what I expected), good so see a centralized solution like this and especially one that is easy to contribute to.

If I could offer one piece of advice to uploaders it is please centre the spine before uploading. You may have to crop off part of the front or back cover, but the spine should be centre!

 

[Aractus]

Well I'd forgotten about how much I love playing with covers. Here's another one for you...

Mario Kart Double Dash:



You can dl the full original image at cover galaxy.The image was not enhanced or altered in any way.

Here's my version:

1. Image cleaned using Neat Image.
2. Spine centred (image interpolation on back cover, although in hindsight it would have been smarter to simply resize the back cover separately from the front/spine to 487 x 680).
3. Contrast adjusted and saturation boosted.
4. Blacks and whites cleaned (text).
5. Specks removed from front cover (particularly on mario's kart).

For some reason, my USB Loader program is no longer downloading covers. It says it does, but the files are blank with 0 bytes. So I have been doing it manually and it is working. So 2 questions:

1: Anybody know why I can't download covers through USB Loader anymore;
2: Any way to download ALL the FULL covers, instead of searching for each separate page?

Thanks for any replies!

Aractus and Abdallah, a few JPN Wii covers are missing on gametdb.com,
are you taking requests, or would you be able to build 3D covers for some of them?
Here are the ones:
- S72J01 - Hoshi No Kirby: 20th Anniversary Edition
- SUKJ01 - Hoshi no Kirby Wii
- RK5J01 - Kirby's Epic Yarn
- R3OJ01 - Metroid: Other M
- R96JAF - Kaze no Klonoa Door to Phantomile
- RQCJAF - Tabemon
- SVMJ01 - Super Mario Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition
- RMLJH4 - Metal Slug Complete
Since I'm unable to "build" 3d covers, I hunted for front and back covers for each of those game in biggest size/quality available, I put them all in an archive : http://videoff7.free.fr/wii_covers_jpn.zip
Hoping it helps,

I have modded a PAL version of a US cover for Newer Super Mario Bros in Blue to compliment the original, but I am not sure if I should upload it.

If you could make me a 3D version of it with a matching blue case (for personal use) I would really, really appreciate it.

Here is a better working link. Looks like Dropbox does not allow linking the image properly.

Anyone have the Image Pack for the English Version of Skylanders: Swap Force? I don't have a Scanner, otherwise I'd do it myself

I searching an "ID=TITLE" list for NDS, like GameTDB provides it for the Wii.

I am not sure where to find that, I have looked before, with no luck.
Lustar told me before that when we finish more of what we have now, we can move to NDS games.

OK, I did that for you, with the SMNx40 ID, since the SMNx09 ID you listed is already in use by another game. (Sorry)

Please tell me if you want anything else done to the pages here:
