View Full Version : N64 Box Scans Wanted
Does anyone know where I can download scans of N64 boxes? If you go over to the DS\GBA cover project thread here: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=954075#post954075 you'll see slash000 made a great looking case for 007. I want to do the same with some of my games. Anyway I need scans of:
Starfox 64
Super Mario 64
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Thanks.

Not sure on the size you need. If these are no good, just say so and I will try to find some better ones to help out.

I would guess they pretty much need to be original size (of the box).

Well, in order to look good when printed out, they need to be scans of the original box at a minimum of 300 DPI, preferably 600 DPI so that they can be sized up or down without loss of quality.
The two N64 cases I've done so far were scanned at 600 DPI and then reworked in photoshop to fit the vertical orientation of the N64 cartridge cases I own. The finished cases were ultimately sized to 300 DPI resolution, which is more than enough for case covers (same resolution as the GBA boxes), then printed:

Here are the actual images I created for the covers that I ultimately printed out (300 DP1):

JKAM has found a place that sells N64 cases that a cover project could probably work well with. So, it really wouldn't make sense to create more covers for a project (if one is started) unless we knew the dimensions of the boxes we find that are best suited for the job.
