N64 game case project - live!

[Backlash]

All of my labels are fine, but I could see how some people would find this useful.

On the other hand, most everyone has access to a printer, thus making the covers a possibility for most people (except those in New Zealand :cry: ). However, most people probably will not be able to print labels/stickers, I would guess.

Speaking of which, I'll be in New Zealand on vacation from April 4-9. I can't wait to visit!

Oh wow!!

Where are you going to/staying in New Zealand?

As for printing labels .... well .... one person here was kind enough to forward me boxes showing the spirit of kindness is alive and well in the forum. My guess is if some one needed a label and covered the physical costs it wouldn't be an issue. Hang...postage of a label isn't an biggie... :-)

I'm keen on buying on of those contraptions myself at that cost just for backup.

[Backlash]

Actually, I don't know yet. My cousin won a trip for 2 people so I'm tagging along. We're flying into Auckland, but I have no idea what hotel(s) we're staying at or where we'll be traveling.

I'd be willing to try to get some game cases to you if the logistics can be worked out (can someone who already has some get them to me within the next two weeks, and then can I get them to you once there).

[Snowcone]

We are trying to build some steam for this project, can you guys "digg" this story on Digg.com: http://digg.com/gaming/Nintendo_DS_covers_for_your_GBA_games_

I hope the weather stays good for you. You're flying out of your spring into our Autumn....only 23degree's celsius here at present.....brrr.....LOL

Won a trip to NZ? How old are you guys? Should grab a car and see Rotorua [Rottonrua we call it cause of sulphur smell from geysers etc], Taupo etc.

[Backlash]

We are both 28. He didn't win it in a contest (I just realized that's how my original message looked) - he's a salesman and he sold enough to qualify for the trip. I should have said he "earned" the trip :)

Edit: wow that sounds even worse. It's not one of those door-to-door jobs - he works for a large company that does technology research.

ROFLMAO ...... you're digging yerself an even bigger hole there buddy :D

My brother lives in USA. Does work on Milit..y aerospace type stuff. But he's sooo damn busy he doesn't even email so I came to the conclusion long ago it was pointless getting him to send me boxes. Hell would freeze over before then I reckon.

How many cases could you carry in your luggage? Dont think they're heavy...just bulky. How long would it take to get a box from the vendor to you? Happy to Paypal someone but if you can only carry 10 it wouldn't be worth while getting a whole box to you.

[Backlash]

Unfortunately, it's way too late to get them from the vendor - that takes forever. I just found out about this trip 10 days ago or so. I thought some people in this thread had recently gotten shipments of 100, some of which could be mailed to me?

I probably couldn't get too many in my luggage, but I could probably just check an extra box entirely.

Does anyone here on the forum have spare cases and a PAYPAL account so I can pay them for them? And will forward them to Backlash? PM me with a costing for delivery to Plano, Texas?

Here's hoping .... gosh .... if I get a good amount of cases it'll make me all the more eager to get new box scans. Speaking of scans .... I finished SF Rush Extreme Racing PAL so I'll up that to replace the existing version. Much better colour fidelity. And Quake II PAL is coming too

I'll sort out Tony Hawke Skateboarding 3 off Gamescanners too. Never knew there was more than one Hawk game on N64. Learn somethng new every day !!!

[TheValeman]

If you logout and log back in with

--- Removed due to non-authorised use ---

you'll have access to all the label's I've scanned, along with 4tygames Aerofighter's Assault.

If you are going to contribute please scan clean labels at 300dpi. If you don't feel comfortable trimming them just lop off the cart sides as close as possible and i'll clean them up. And when naming them specify PAL or NTSC or JAP in the title. Much easier to work out what we have and dont have without having to view the file.

Please don't delete labels out of there. Just mention why something needs deleting here and I'll cover it daily.

Cheers

I think JPN would work better than JAP...

and it might be a litter easier to say go here for all the labels (http://reg.imageshack.us/setlogin.php?login=5dea18011683fc9396a54c1446fcba1 7)

Here is a great website for N64 Labels (http://n64.icequake.net/mirror/tcsr2001.tripod.com/).

[Chrono72090]

The N64 cases are the same size as the SNES ones, right?

I'd be interested in buying like 8 or so, for a dollar a piece + shipping.

PM ME PLEASE!

[TheValeman]

Here is a great website for N64 Labels (http://n64.icequake.net/mirror/tcsr2001.tripod.com/).

Great stuff. Saw that site last year then it disappeared so I thought Big N had shut it down.
Good to see it again. :D're great.

EDIT. Downloaded most of the labels. Gotta say that a lot are really low dpi and those that are 300dpi or greater look like they've been upscaled and dont look that crisp. Still....until we get new ones they're great

Man .... that site's out of date. Oct 2000 was the last news entry .... sheesh .... don't tell me I lost site of it that long ago

Zelda OOT Custom Cover! (http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/3198/zeldaocarinaoftimecustom6ih.jpg)

This one doesn't have the right resolution but I uploaded the full-sized one to Snackbar. Although the colors messed up for a reason :S Do you think Snowcone will let me reupload it? Maybe if we ask him to delete this one and let me upload it again.

If I give the original PSD file to someone, will you be able to convert it into JPG without the colors messing up? Or maybe I should try using PNG?

Does anyone have a site host that can accept a file bigger than 1 MB?

Just make sure it's under 1mb and upload it again to imageshack. Post new link and we'll have a look.

[4tygames]

I found something better than Imageshack.us today. It's called box.net and it is amazing!

You get 1 Gb of web storage space which is perfect for storing scans and final covers while waiting for snowcone to upload. It's fast too with no advertisements!

For an example, look here (http://www.box.net/public/r5toytiyra). I am going to submit some scans to the GBA/ DS cover art project.

Looks good :)

Here's my public dir of N64 labels. Haven't added the ones of the previous mentioned site as they are not the greatest. If you guys scan your labels at 300dpi and imageshack them I'll up them to this directory so it becomes a repository. I'll also keep them backed up in case boxnet goes the way of previous free webspace portals.

http://www.box.net/public/jd7u3z2nlf

Anyone here have Amorines they can scan the label from?

I am really busy right now, but I will scan in my n64 game labels when I get the chance.

Geez last time I check the project was around the 20s and now its up to 46.2%, Thanks Valeman!

No worries ..... :)

I have F1 Grand Prix II and Mickeys Speedway USA both coming from the UK.
Also trying to scrounge up funds for Earthworm Jim and a couple of other hard to find games as well

That's where I'm looking.

You see the mini icon but when you click to load it into the viewing pane....nothing.

Ok..... when you download it all looks good. Hmmm.... what program are you using to create these. It appears it may not be totally compatible with the previewer on Boxnet.

Pic looks nice. Obviously a lot of effort went into it. Good on you. My personal preference is still with the standard sideways boxes but good on you for nice alternative for those liking that style of cover.
Problem is though that there's only like one cover done..... lots to go. Still....keep you busy eh what?

[RockinX]

Well, I'm not planning to do ALL of them, only the ones I have. And by the way, save the picture and you'll see that the colors aren't messed up when you see it on your PC.

I bought MegaMan 64 and it came today, so I'm going to scan that and send it to Snackbar, and I'll make a custom cover as well.

My Dr. Mario 64 and Paper Mario covers are about 80% done but I haven't gone back to them again.

Also, I'm making a Mario 64 one, too, but I need more hi res pics, which I lack :(

[Ross84]

I can see a problem with the covers, we have a list of all of them but some of them show complete when it fact theres an AU, a English and a US version of the cover (in most cases the US and AU ones are red and the English ones are black. If it says complete then it might put other people off uploading the black UK version that some of us would like.

[RockinX]

Alright! I discovered why the colors looked messed up on a browser but they looked ok when seen on the computer.

I had set the color mode to CMYK so that it had more printing quality. So now I changed it to RGB and it looks good on Imageshack, not to mention the file size was reduced considerably.

[TheValeman]

Added 13 new labels to the Boxnet Dir for a new total of 48 labels.

I EBAYed some 47 games recently which I'm waiting on. A lot we have boxes for..a few we dont.... but it'll make a big dent hopefully in the labels arena.

Just for reference though for the N64List .... 2 of the game are definitely not mentioned in the list. Those being

F1 World Grand Prix II of which I have a boxed version on the way and
Michael Owens WLS 2000 .. a soccer game ... cart only I'm afraid for that one.

So there you go ..... 2 more games for the list and a box soon for one of them :)

Later

PS. Just purchased a N64 package including five boxed games so I'll be able to hopefully add FIFA 64 PAL, Cruisn USA PAL, WCW/NWO Revenge PAL to the Mickeys Speedway USA PAL, Rugrats Treasure Hunt PAL, Amorines PAL & Castlevania PAL that I am waiting on with bated breath. Should keep me busy when they arrive

[TheValeman]

If it says complete then it might put other people off uploading the black UK version that some of us would like.

Well .... if you contributed cover scans to the project rather than complaining about the differences between Aus/NZ covers and Brit versions I might take your comment a tad more seriously.

While I appreciate where you are coming from the fact is the N64List (http://home.comcast.net/~tcool40/newn64list.htm) is a quick guide to whether we have a US and some form of PAL cover. Note that we dont include Japanese covers? It isn't meant to be a definitive statement.

Snack-bar provide the ability to upload both AU and EUR covers. So by all means feel free to scan any EUR boxes and upload them as it'll give PAL users more choices as to which box scan they prefer. And people should look on Snack-bar to determine what's there anyway. You're just lucky I've been imageshacking them here as I do them so you can see what's going up on Snack-bar.

I would've thought you'd be happy with the fact that through Aus/NZ PAL covers I have been able to take the total percentage of game covers from 20% to 46% rather than complaining about our/my efforts to date.

Cheers

[Ross84]

Im not critisising your efforts, im very greatful for the scans youve uploaded, however i did try scan f1 world grand prixII but as im on very slow dial up it took nearly an hour to upload and then it wasnt the right resolution for the project after all. Ive got banjo kazooie, fifa 64, mickeys speedway usa, goldeneye, donkey kong 64 and beetle adventure racing in pal formats scanned in and edited but i havent got a way of uploading them at the mo.

I'm getting Mickeys Speedway USA sent from the UK at present so assuming it's good condition I'll be able to up the same one as your's as soon as I get it. Has the black surround around the edges eh!

Sorry if I sound cranky. There's been little effort from others recently so I've been pretty much contributing everything. So any $$$$lers get under my skin especially after I asked if anyone would send me some cases and only one person even offered. Feeling a tad unappreciated of late.

Hence I'm cranky. No offence

[nate1749]

hi, i was wondering what page the latest info for this project is on? I was previously involved a lot (owner of ukbeats.com), but quit my job, went on a road trip, moved and am still revamping my friends small company so i completely neglected this project. Enough excuses though....

I can provide a gallery (if it's still needed) where people can upload raw pictures too, I know the finals are being stored over at snackbar (if it's still being updated) and since I can now allocate time to this project (again) an updated list of what we have and what's needed.

Just basically looking for all the info on this project (i see that pg.1 hasn't been updated since last dec. - but perhaps that's still the latest) and what's needed (other than I'm sure boxes).

Nate

[nate1749]

valeman - you can't get cases or the print outs out on legal paper or what? I'm a bit confused (just skimming some of the pages) or maybe I'm way off. Let me know what you need, I'd like to help anyone whose been active in this project while I've been gone. =)

It's ok..... I was just letting off steam.

I asked if anyone was able to send me some cases as I've uploaded some 85 covers to Snack-bar and I dont have access to the cases in New Zealand as Mediashelving dont ship out of continental USA.

However, one person here kindly fired me off some boxes..... only one person mnd you.

If you size the cover to 180 x 280mm the fit perfectly whether you use letter, legal, A4 etc.

So dont fret .... I was just miffed at a member telling us that Aus PAL isn't the same as Brit PAL where boxes are concerned.

As a matter of interest though.... on my 3rd attempt I got an email back from Videoshoppers re sending to New Zealand. Get this ..... the postage alone is $92US to ship 100 box .... holy shite!!!! So I'll be waiting a while to build up enough funds to cover the extra $40 I hadn't counted on.

[nate1749]

ahhh i see, mediashelving doesn't ship international? that's surprising, shipping international is a pain indeed, but they should still offer it.

well if you want mediashelving ones I can order them and re-ship them to you. I'm not sure how much s/h would be.

[TheValeman]

Here's FIFA 64 PAL.........

http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/6750/fifa647cn.th.jpg (http://img55.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fifa647cn.jpg)

Upped to Snack-bar as usual. On the subjetc of Snack-bar they seem to be up to date once again as my Excite Bike 64 cover is now available for download. Way to go Snowcone :D

4 more PAL labels added to my Boxnet Dir http://www.box.net/public/jd7u3z2nlf .

Note that you need to sign up to Boxnet to download anything you want but it's free so no big issue. I'm scanning the N64 game manuals into better condition pdf's than are available on the net at present. They'll go up soon but there are a couple over 10mb's which I cant upload as there's a 10mb limit for free files on boxnet

Sorry I've been checking the thread regularly but I've been really slack on updating the OP. I'll try to do that today. 4tygames made a new improved version of the list you were updating - check the last few pages for the link (I'll add it to the OP soon).

Basically what happened was that after you left and your site went down, we didn't have any people uploading scans to convert to covers. That's still a problem, except that theValeman has stepped up majorly and bought a ton of games and made covers for them, rather than waiting for other people to scan the boxes they already have.

[nate1749]

awesome, yeah my webhoster updated some database and then the gallery thing went down and i never spent the few hours rebuilding it... what a nightmare, thanks for the update.

so there is still not a place to upload raw images?

[TheValeman]

shipped on Monday from the UK so in a week or so I'm going to be a happy gamer with 35 more games to look at. :)

I decided to list one of the mediashelving boxes I got sent on the local auction house in NZ. Thought it might be interesting to see if other people are keen on protecting their carts and look good at the same time. If there's plenty of interest I'll order that box from Videoshopper sooner rather than later. Oh.... I think I used your piccies from the early pages on this forum Backlash as they're perfect for showing people what they look like and my digicam's busted at present.

Don't worry ..... I'm not looking to make a wholesale profit out our efforts .... just recoup a few of the hundreds of dollars I've spent buying the boxed games to scan for the cause.

Nate .....Getting that site to upload raw scans going again may help in getting people not too comfortable creating covers but who have a scanner and boxes to at least contriute to the project. So sooner is better ......

[CYRiX]

haha TheValeman takes charge!

N64 List Updated (http://home.comcast.net/%7Etcool40/newn64list.htm)

I added the two PAL games to the list.

I have been really busy, not having time to scan my n64 game labels. Once I get a good five hours of free time, I could do it.

Thats great that Videoshopper is now offering international orders.

[Ross84]

It's ok..... I was just letting off steam.

So dont fret .... I was just miffed at a member telling us that Aus PAL isn't the same as Brit PAL where boxes are concerned.



I stick to my point though, why is there a list for PAL AND NTSC? I put to you that it is because people would like a cover that is accurate to the game and country of origin. You have done some sterling work by uploading all these covers for us but as a British user, i would like all my covers to be british, not simply a very similar version of the NTSC ones with the word PAL stuck on them, as a fully qualified designer i am perfectly capable of adding 3 little letters if that was the issue. I am NOT suggesting that you buy or upload anymore covers, i would simply like it to be recognised in the list that most of the games are not in fact complete and would like to add another column if possible. I own 62 games of which i have genuine PAL(UK) covers for 12, 4 of which i have downloaded thanks to others efforts and 8 I have scanned and edited. If another column was included i would like to try and find a way to get these 8 covers online.

If my point was not valid then we would simply have one list column rather than two. Its the same point purists in the US made when they asked that a NTSC version be included rather than a PAL.

[TheValeman]

What? ..... do you think I text in the words PAL on a US box and then submit it as PAL? Don't be daft! Have a look at the back and you will see AUS/NZ in the wording.
I'll state it again. The list is NOT a definitive statement and shouldn't be read as such.
Snack-bar is THE definitive statement of what we have as it nicely seperates EUR from AU and so on. If you can look at the list then surely you can browse the images at Snack-bar?
And if you can submit those EUR covers with the ugly black borders around everything go for it. The more choices the merrier. I was under the impression the first UK games were just like the AUS ones and it was later in the N64 life that they started re-issuing games with the black bordered boxes much like the player series in the States. I have several boxes coming from the UK and not all have the borders which tends to support my view.
So maybe it would've been better if you said " I prefer the PAL boxes with the black surrounds ". That's a personal preference statement and that's fine.

Does anyone else here have an opnion one way or the other?

[KaiserWAVE]

I've been searching for N64 covers for 2 1/2 years now until I found Snackbar and this site. Since there were mainly Ntsc covers I just downloaded them because I never thought that there would be any PAL covers. But even now that TheValeman stepped up and is uploading tons and tons of PAL covers I'll stick to the red NTSC covers although I have only PAL carts. This is mainly because I like the red much better. I guess thats one of those personal preference statements :) It's great to have the choice, the more the better, but I kind of doubt that there will be PAL covers for all my games considering the pace of this project before TheValeman joined and gave it a kick in the behind. So I guess people are and should be happy with what they have here.

[Backlash]

Yeah, let's not lose sight of the original goal - having a nice way to display and protect our cart-only N64 games. Having the exact original matching case is just a bonus for some people. Heck, at the very beginning of the project people were making custom verical cases that didn't match any boxes!

[RockinX]

http://www.box.net/public/kc94e2d5kq

I uploaded the Megaman 64 cover to Snackbar, and a copy of it is in the gallery, check it out.

(Sorry I took so long, I always have a hard time asking my brother to scan anything... But it's his scanner, so...)

And about the PAL issue, I cannot say much, as I am not from Europe, thus I can't say I have memories of seeing the black border or something like that.

[TheValeman]

Exactly.

And there are games out there which we may never end up with scans of the boxes. So home created covers may be the only way to go for those.
Hell.....just using plastic boxes is unauthentic.... hehe. But so much better for keeping carts safe yet usable.

Hey... I'm more than ready to let other people take up the reins and create covers and I'll happily take a back seat. If they can do a better job... kudo's to them. Not that anyone has to date though. I suppose that's why I got annoyed and let it spiral out of control.

Everyone's entitled to their view. I should've let it pass. Apologies to everyone for that. Still ...... at least we got some dialogue going again eh ...:D

Does anyone else here have an opnion one way or the other?

Many boxes over here dont have black surrounds its true, as far as i know though none of them have a red right hand side, they just have a full front image. I see your point about not needing a list, i can just download them. I dont want this to get out of hand, i was just putting across my viewpoint, i still think your an absolute legend for uploading all these covers. I think my reasoning is that i want to regain my childhood and have the boxes for games how i remember them if that makes sense? Ive just bought a job lot of manuals to make my games thta bit more accurate. No offence intended.

[Chrono72090]

Hey, I want to buy around 25 of those cases from someone.. I was wondering if anyone could help me out? I don't want to buy 50.

being F1 World Grand Prix II, Mickets Speedway USA and Fighters Destiny.

Which means you may see box scans of F1 and Mickey's Speedway when I get around to editing them. They suffered compression damage in transit which I'm annoyed at as now it'll take a fair amount of work to clean them up.

Everything should be back up right now, I haven't extensively checked really any features except the basic ones, but it should be working now, same info as before.

Are all of the raw scans already done? Probably, but like I stated a few months ago - no info/files were lost =)

Any chance you may be able to host raw SNES scans?

THATS GREAT NEWS!!!!

Thats means that some games like Automobili Lamborghini and Star Soldier are not lost! Awesome! That gives us like about 5 more covers to complete!

[TheValeman]

with those black borders someone's been dying for :)

Best I could do with the crushing it got in the post. Sigh

Another one of those black bordered jobbies someone here likes

I think that's about contribution #90 up to Snack-bar now.

[Ross84]

with those black borders someone's been dying for :)



Thanks ;) hopefully my cases will be arriving from the US any day soon

[TheValeman]

bringing it up to 65 scanned for prosterity.

I'll have some more box scans up soon too. :)

EDIT. First up after a truckload of cleaning up ......... Rugrats Treasure Hunt PAL

2nd EDIT.... Next we have Quake II PAL wif the luvly black sidebar. Taken off a brand new still sealed box [ I removed the seal though ]

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/1629/quakeii2jz.th.jpg (http://img208.imageshack.us/my.php?image=quakeii2jz.jpg)

Dont worry about the cut off Quake sign on front cover. I saw it and rectified the full size copy submitted to Snack-bar. Just cant be buggered resubmitting a small pic to imageshack

Next up we have WCW NWO Revenge PAL....again with black sidebar as opposed to US red version........

All upped to Snack-bar for Snowcone to do his thing

[TheValeman]

for those of you interested in my latest purchases for the project.

I have Dark Rift PAL, Extreme-G PAL, Extreme G-2 PAL, Bust a Move 3DX PAL, Turok - Shadows of Oblivion PAL, Robotron 64 PAL, Nascar 99 PAL, Amorines-Project SWARM PAL, Earthworm Jim 3D, Castlevania PAL and Carmageddon 64 PAL all paid for and awaiting arrival. That should bring 4 new covers into Snack-bar and off the "None" list.

And no ... I'll probably lose money reselling them to get all new games.

Maybe we should set up a "contribute to my Paypal" fund. If everyone committed just $5 I could EBay a whole heap more boxed games we dont have covers for. I know some people cant afford to buy games etc but even a small contribution would make it considerably easier if pooled together to make it feasible to make a big dent in the "no scan available" list. For instance ... I have Rugrats in Paris PAL available on Ebay ... only one I've seen anywhere .... but no funds at present until I get these others scanned and on-sold. If I miss it it's highly unlikely we'll see it again. And I've access to some USA boxes not yet scanned too.

And it doesn't have to be me. I'd happily contribute if someone else who's been consistently around on this list wants to do it. I'm already paying out heaps anyway but I'm in too........

Food for thought anyway ...... any opinions or idea's?

[nate1749]

when the project first started there was a few auctions with 100 n64 box lots on ebay, i just thought they were a regular thing on ebay so i didn't purchase them at the time... Well I was wrong because i'm still waiting for another large box lot on e-bay. Hopefully if one ever comes up again I'll just buy it, scan em all in, and then resell it again...

As for your donation idea, i can donate $10 to you purchasing games for boxes, but honestly anytime I donate money people always email me back saying thank you you're on of the only ones.... donating via internet just doesn't seem to work.

It's a pity everyone .... well almost everyone .... is from the " I'll take that thanks very much but contribute? No Way" variety. It was abundantly clear when I asked if anyone would send me cases as I was having trouble getting them shipped to New Zealand. And only two people fronted up... one offered covers and the other offered to bring them over personally as he's on holiday here. That's it ... period. BTW I caught up with him and his cousin in Auckland today. Great guys. Had an excellent chat. Alway's good to put a face to a name :)

So? Where to from here?
Maybe I'll just scan boxes for myself and provide the two guys who've helped me out with a copy if they need it.
Or maybe I'll contribute one scan for every scan provided by someone else as an incentive for people to get off their butts.

Rest assured though that the full version of Duke wont be appearing on Snack-bar at the present time. Nor will any others until I work out what I'm happy with.

If people think I'm blackmailing to get money .... nope .... contributing covers will do just nicely thank you.

It's time for people to change their attitudes.

[KaiserWAVE]

Too bad you're not going to put your new covers on snackbar. Earthworm Jim and Duke Nukem Zero Hour are 2 of the 8 covers I still need.

I understand why you're unhappy with the situation as it is right now but I think you should not blame other people. Nobody ever said that you have to buy so many games on ebay to scan the boxes and now you're complaining that you have spent so much money and nobody else has.
Also I don't like to think that I'm from the " I'll take that thanks very much but contribute? No Way" variety. I have no credit card so I can't send you money via Paypal and a normal money transfer to your bank account would have insane fees. I don't have access to the boxes everyone is using here so I can't send you any of these either. I don't have any covers to scan or contribute, this is why I came here in the first place, to get covers that I don't have. And I won't buy any games just for covers because I don't have a scanner, nor does anyone I know.

I'm not trying to give any excuses, I just tell it as it is. You know I'm thankful for every cover you did, I told you numerous times, so did many other people here. I know and everyone here knows that you're the major player here, and that nobody has uploaded as many covers as you have or put as much enthusiasm in this project as you have with buying all these boxed games. rest assured EVERYONE knows that and EVERYONE here hopes that you stay around for a long time.
But not all people can contribute as much as you have for whatever reasons. I told you mine and I hope you can understand as I don'tz think I'll have to change my attitude. If I have something to contribute I will do so the second the chance comes up. Trust me I'm not happy with the situation either, just getting what I want and not giving anything back but as of right now it can't be helped. :(

I DO hope that you can work out anything you're happy with and if you don't I want to thank you for the covers you've done so far.

[TheValeman]

Game Over!!!........................................... ......

[SMMM]

Looks like I'll have to save your guys' asses. I'm currently watching around 5 or so auctions for games we don't have, so let's hope for the best here.

EDIT: So far, I won the following(All US):

WWF War Zone
NFL Quarterback Club 98
WCW Mayhem
WWF Attitude (list said a better-quality box was wanted so I grabbed it)

I'll try to get more to please Valeman

[TheValeman]

I never said I was unhappy paying for buying the games.

I said I was unhappy that even with all of that contributing etc when I asked if someone could ship me some cases.... at my cost as I was happy to pay.... no-one fronted up except one person.

So that sort of gives you an indication of the level of helpfulness that exists here at present. No-one even had the guts to PM me and say they didn't have any or were maybe ordering some at a later date. Nothing.

So get off the high horse on telling me no-one wanted me to buy boxed games to fill in the gaps. Most everyone here has benefitted at my expense. And I was okay with it until no-one helped me.

So....why help others? Do unto others what they do unto you.

[nate1749]

Sorry you had a bad experience valeman. From my experience with internet projects you have dozens (or more) reap the benefits, but really just a handful pulling the reins of it all. I actually thought this project had great contributors. We've received scans from quite a few people (at least 15), and there have been people who've broken out case lots to others, also anyone that has drawn more attention to this project (via other forums or even the mod who pinned this topic), and let's not forget about snackbar. Even at one point I was buying boxed games and giving the boxes away to collectors in exchange that they scan in covers I didn't have. Perhaps you just needed help at a slow point in the project.

Regardless, we all hope you stay and help, and if there's something I can do let me know.

Back to the project though.... do we still have photoshop guys that can doctor up all the raw images? I assume we do, but not 100% sure.

Nate
ps - I think (to respond to your somewhat rhetorical last question) you help others because you want to, not because you expect something in return.

[TheValeman]

ps - I think (to respond to your somewhat rhetorical last question) you help others because you want to, not because you expect something in return.

Yeah ... well ... I got grumpy.

Since December when I found this forum SMMM provided Mystical Ninja raws, 4tygames provided a few raw scans and hardly anyone else. I enjoyed taking them and creating the covers you see on Snack-bar. And just maybe I got carried away with the fact I had access to sooo many unscanned games that I lost the plot. I think 90+ scans is testament to my helping others. I just didn't expect to get shafted when I needed help. As I was happy to pay for everything it wouldn't have cost anyone anything other than a little time boxing some cases up and taking them to the PO. Sheesh....

I also bought a Convertor cart off EBAY so I could buy US games to get some of the more esoteric games like Dual Heroes, Deadly Arts and Aidyn's Chronicles. Then I could play the games which is always a nice diversion from paintshop pro'ing.


But that's taken a backward step now while I evaluate where to go from here. Realistically ..... I'll have to sell off the games I'm waiting on arriving to cover any further purchases. That's why I asked if any one wanted to contribute... so we could get these reasonably difficult to find boxed games off the market and onto snack-bar.

So as the contribution thing crashed and burned I'll settle on option 2. When someone contributes a scan to the cause I'll reply in kind with one. I'll advise what I currently have so people dont duplicate and that's as good as you'll get from me at present. That way I at least get something out of this myself.

Cheers

[TheValeman]

This will be the message store point for all the box scan's from games I have purchased for the project that HAVEN'T been uploaded to Snack-bar. This will save duplication of effort and anyone else buying games I already have scans for....unless they want the game to play of course.

All pics here are of the box scan ready to upload... minus the "not on snack-bar" wording of course.

Here's how it works. Someone uploads a NEW box not already available in another format gets a new one from this lot uploaded. Someone uploads a variation on one we already have and I'll reply with another one in kind.

I think that's a fair way of getting other people contributing but at the same time avoiding them buying one already available. And I'll always put up here games I have purchased and are awaiting delivery.

So ...... Currently I have ready the following games ..... All PAL .....

N64 List Updated (http://home.comcast.net/%7Etcool40/newn64list.htm)

I do not know where to classify Bust-A-Move 3 though, as only 2 versions of the game were released in the US.

TheValeman: Could you upload the Pokemon Stadium scan to snackbar?

Also, I know N64 Game Boxes are hard to come by. Many people threw these away. Even gamestores like GameStop and EB Games throw away boxes and manuals customers bring in when they trade their games.

I have been really busy, hence I have not checked this thread in over a week and tons of things happened!!

I think the best way to contribute to this thread, even if you do not have any n64 game boxes anymore is to reach out to people and introduce them to this thread. Friends, people on ebay, etc. are great contact sources to get game scans.

When I get some free time, hopefully soon, I will scan some n64 labels.

[RockinX]

I thought someone had already uploaded the Pokémon Stadium box :S There is a scan at Gamescanner, but its resolution is not very high, I'm going to make it a box and upload it. If you don't like it I'll get my brother to scan my Pokémon Stadium box.

By the way, I uploaded the Megaman 64 cover on Snackbar, and I posted the image of it, why isn't it on the list?

[SMMM]

btw, I also bought some SNES games to bring the SNES project back to life. I posted raw scans a few days but it looks like so one's interested in making them into covers. I'm not trying to soliciate(I bought some boxes for this project as well), I just need that Fatal Fury cover >_>

[RockinX]

Ah, I thought those were finished covers, I can help here.

[SMMM]

Thanks.

btw, would the Vigilante 8 scans from http://ukbeats.com/n64/raw?page=2 be possible, even with the torn back? Some slight customization might be in order, but I wouldn't mind.

[RockinX]

Is there another Activision game in there? We could just replace it with another game's copyright info and presto! all done.

I can work on it tomorrow.

[4tygames]

We have the Pokemon Stadium 2 cover, not the original Pokemon Stadium :).

I uploaded a scan of my box a couple of pages back and TheValeman did a cover and sent it to me through a PM. That was a work-in-progress cover, but I have yet to see the final cover on here or snackbar.

You didn't like the Nintendo logo and I haven't had spare time at work to redo the spine. It's on my work PC so I hope the admin boy's haven't found it. Oh .... my label site now has 72 labels .... 1 USA and the rest PAL .... so it's coming along as fast as I can buy games.

On the Vigilante scan on UKbeats site ... the rear cover can be doctored with my PAL cover and a red rear sidebar from another box to get you red lovers a satisfactory alternative to my black PAL cover. Use a little creative cutting & pasting :D

If you want I can take a look at the scans on UKBeats. I will upload any of those I complete as I didn't contribute the scans so they haven't cost me anything but a bit of time.

EDIT. OK .... Here it is.........

EDIT. Here's what I whacked up for 4tygames re Pokemon Stadium. Had a fair bit of work on the spine as they're double width. I put the little Nintendo logo in there to break up the huge green gap between the edge and the pokemon wording and help mask the squashed Pokemon creature.I still have the full-size pic if everyone wants it as it is. Otherwise it'll take a while as I have to redo the spine again.....

http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/1010/pokemonstadiumsmall3tx.th.jpg (http://img300.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pokemonstadiumsmall3tx.jpg)

No no, I think I saw that someone had posted the scans for Pokémon Stadium 1. I wonder why I thought that :S

[MorPhiend]

The only N64 boxes I have that are not done already are:

Mega Man 64
Pokemon Puzzle League

Both are NTSC. I am going to try and find a scanner to help you guys out and then just upload the raw scans. How perfect do the boxes need to be? These are pretty good, but I just want to make sure before I go to the effort.

[SMMM]

As long as they aren't torn to shreds, they should be ok. Valeman really knows how to work his magic.

[MorPhiend]

Oh yeah. This may be a dumb question, but I am not familiar with scanning and such. Do I have to unfold the boxes, or is there a way to scan it without it being flattened?

[SMMM]

It depends on what type of scanner it is. But, I would generally say to flatten it, as it would probably give a clearer scan.

[4tygames]

Awesome MorPhiend.

RockinX did a Mega Man 64 cover (RockinX: Did you upload it to Snackbar?), but we do need the NTSC Pokemon Puzzle League. If you are having trouble finding a scanner, you can always go to Kinko's or some other local print shop and I bet they would be happy to help you out.

[TheValeman]

It depends on what type of scanner it is. But, I would generally say to flatten it, as it would probably give a clearer scan.

And scan the box at 300dpi.

Flatten them so you scan one spine and front or back at the same time. Try to get the scan straight and level if possible. The straighter the less the software interpolates when correcting so the the better the final result.

And dont .... please dont .... scan too close to the edges. It's better to have a bit of blank space outside the box than to have to cut down the scan because it had a portion of picture shaved off. Auto-scanning is terrible for that especially on light coloured boxes. I alway use manual scan and allow a generous area around the box as a precaution as it's easy to remove afterwards anyway.

Cheers

RockinX did a custom cover, I think.

[4tygames]

Really? This is a custom cover (http://www.box.net/public/kc94e2d5kq#f636573:6979132) (Login first)?

[SMMM]

Nope, guess I was wrong.

[Backlash]

You can also not flatten the box and just leave the scanner cover open. You have to scan the front, back, and spine separately but it usually works fine. Just make sure to scan everything completely, as ValeMan said.

[TheValeman]

Really? This is a custom cover (http://www.box.net/public/kc94e2d5kq#f636573:6979132) (Login first)?

Nope .... legit cover that one!!!!

I was looking at EBAYing it. Don't have to now. So now I'm looking at Hydrothunder [US version] on EBAY instead ... :D

Hey ... I want the game and I have a convertor to run US games on my PAL N64 at 60htz so it'll be faster than the PAL version anyway.

No one answered my previous question. Do you want me to submit those covers I created off the UKBeats site or has someone else done them already? What about Pokemon Stadium?

[RockinX]

Really? This is a custom cover (http://www.box.net/public/kc94e2d5kq#f636573:6979132) (Login first)?
I'm currently working on the custom Megaman 64 cover and it looks nothing like that :p The custom cover I have uploaded (for N64 anyway) has been the OOT one.

And I did upload the MM64 cover to Snackbar, but I announced the uploading here.

Indeed you did. But as usual Snack-bar is a bit behind on the updates so it isn't available there at present.

[snowmunkey91]

Wow Valeman, you are so Fucking active and nice contributions! :applause: I just thought of complimenting on your efforts to help to move this project at a faster pace.

[4tygames]

Yes, please upload Pokemon Stadium to Snackbar. I didn't understand why the Nintendo logo was there in the first place, but now I see.

Vigilante 8, Star Soldier, and Fighter's Destiny all need to be uploaded to snackbar.

Thanks!

N64 List Updated (http://home.comcast.net/%7Etcool40/newn64list.htm)

We have pretty much reached the half-way mark! CheapyD needs to announce this on the front page!

[RockinX]

I didn't understand why the Nintendo logo was there in the first place, but now I see.
Maybe it's because it's late and I'm very tired, but what Nintendo logo are you talking about?

[TheValeman]

Maybe it's because it's late and I'm very tired, but what Nintendo logo are you talking about?

I placed a small Nintendo logo on left side of the spine ... the little white & red oval one ... to try and break up the huge swath of green on the spine. Very small ... 4tygames didn't like it ... I thought it rather good personally.

And I've uploaded Auto Lamborghini to Snack-bar. Got to be the worse box scan I ever laid eye's on ... sheesh

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/7641/automobililamborghinismall7fb.th.jpg (http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=automobililamborghinismall7fb.jpg)

Have a look at message #825 for some good news. Someone offered me some cases today. I don't have the funds to pay for them at present on account of buying all these boxed games recently so I had to pass ... but ... it restored my faith in another person here and along with the new boxes on UKBeats and SMMM getting into buying a few boxes I figured it couldn't go unrewarded.

Enjoy!! well .... when Snowcone gets these new ones online anyway .. hehe

[TheValeman]

How about this....

There's a mint boxed version of that namco classics for sale.

hehe .... may be your only chance.

[Backlash]

Heh heh, you're still mixed up - I have Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits, not the Namco collection. :)

Also, I got the game at a yard sale for $1 and it was barely worth it. I don't think I'd spend any money just to get the box for it. Unless we can find someone who has the box (e.g. on Digitpress or somewhere) I'll eventually make a custom cover like I did for Space Invaders 64.

I say potential because until I get them I have no real idea on the state of them. It was an issue getting them. The guy would only ship to USA destinations only so I had to ship them to my brother in MD. Boy is he gonna get a shock when a box of 28 boxes turns up on his doorstep :D
I'll get him to forward them to me. Probably I'll have him remove the inserts,flatten them out and put the outsides in a small box to save costs. So it will take a couple of weeks I guess.
Asteroids Hyper 64 ... now that sounds like I might want to get the game myself.

Later

[TheValeman]

btw, I also bought some SNES games to bring the SNES project back to life. I posted raw scans a few days but it looks like so one's interested in making them into covers. I'm not trying to soliciate(I bought some boxes for this project as well), I just need that Fatal Fury cover >_>

Hey SMMM .... if you know anyone interested in SNES boxes .... point them to this...

Good opportunity to grab another 40 odd boxes for scanning maybe?

N64 List Updated (http://home.comcast.net/%7Etcool40/newn64list.htm)

Thanks a bunch TheValeman, I really needed that Automobili Lamborghini cover.

ONE COVER TO THE HALF-WAY MARK!

[RockinX]

Still no Megaman 64 in the list :(

[4tygames]

Fixed the N64 List (http://home.comcast.net/%7Etcool40/newn64list.htm)

That Correction gives us the 50% MARK!

CONGRATS EVERYONE!

O_O

I'll keep an eye on it. Speaking of which, I created a SNES Completion list similar to 4tygames's(in fact, I just ripped it off with a few changes haha). Anyone have any idea where I can host it?

oh, and the guy I bought the N64 boxes from finally sent me a total today, so I just got to pay him. Should be here in a few days.

[TheValeman]

and move to the NTSC empire.

I'm selling my PAL games off so I can buy US games as there's so much choice over there. And games like SF Rush 2049 which sell for $100 and I can pick a US one up for $6. Conker sets us back $70+ as opposed to $10. Paper Mario $110 vs $6 .... get my drift. Even allowing for postage I'd probably save 60-70% which means I can get more games :)

So you may see even more US boxed scans from me as I get my collection sold off and I start purchasing more. Just bought Twooie for $20 incl postage instead of paying $90 for PAL version. It's a start.

That is a great game. You should forget about scanning and just play it for awhile :)

[TheValeman]

Yeah ... I wonder which will arrive first though... the game or the adapter to plug it into my PAL console?

I really need to get a US N64 sent over...then I'll be cooking :)
I might see if someone on EBAY will send just the main unit over...dont need controllers or power adapter as my ones plug straight in no worries at all.

I had the PAL version of the game but sold it to help pay for all the recent purchases for the project. Dedication huh?

I have an extra n64 unit laying around, message me your information and I'll make it to the post office this week. I have to slam my games in the system (on both my n64s), so I'm guessing the games are just dirty and it's not the system itself - i don't have any cleaning stuff either (need to get some obviously). I'll cover the shipping too, consider this the help you never received when you needed cases before =)

i got all the info from digitpress.com (they don't care if you use their database information so long as you give them credit, as I did at the top of the file). And then I dropped it in excel and have a formula to count the yes's and no's and sums them up and then divides them to show the %'s. Since 4ty just took it from the web, he didn't get all those nifty excel formulas, although he may have gone in and redid them...

if you would like my excel spreadsheet (anyone) just let me know and I'll put it online for download. The formulas in excel aren't hard or complex by any means, but if you don't know it it can be frustrating to try to figure them out.

Nate

[TheValeman]

Heh heh, you're still mixed up - I have Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits, not the Namco collection. :)

Also, I got the game at a yard sale for $1 and it was barely worth it. I don't think I'd spend any money just to get the box for it. Unless we can find someone who has the box (e.g. on Digitpress or somewhere) I'll eventually make a custom cover like I did for Space Invaders 64.

Hehehe....... how about this....

WOW!!! .... after picking myself off the floor I thought that deserved an answer in the best way possible. See message #825.

ALL OUTSTANDING GAMES HAVE BEEN UPLOADED TO SNACK-BAR

Oh .... I just purchased Nascar 2000 NTSC from a local guy so I'll have some Nascar scan goodness soon for anyone who needs it. And I got confirmation that the 24 box of US games I mentioned in a previous post is being sent to my brother tomorrow. There's several boxes that haven't been done to date so we should leave the 50% mark behind well and truly. Oh .... depending on the answer tomorrow I'll probably be buying Wipeout 64 NTSC version mint and still factory sealed tomorrow.

That's all folks

EDIT. Just bought both Wipeout 64 NTSC and NFL Quarterback Club 98 NTSC.... both still factory sealed ..... yippee

[pimp tyranny]

What would be really great would be if you had a look at the n64list and let us know if you have any games not already scanned and let us whether you are willing to scan them for us.

We have a site you can upload the raw scans to if you want someone else to convert them.

Any help getting the gaps filled is appreciated heaps....

Cheers

[Backlash]

Yeah that would be awesome Triggerman! Please scan some boxes in for us if ya can. We can convert them to covers for this project. :)

[guinaevere]

Excellent work and a great idea for a project, guys. I'm printing out the current list and will scrounge through my old stuff to see what I've got to add.


I'm going to ask the next question without reading all the pages, so flame away if it's being discussed already. Any chances on an GB/GBC/GBA project of similar magnitude? Boxes have always been most important to me, and it infuriates me that EB Games/GameStop now instructs their employees to throw away any GB(P/C/A) game boxes away if one is traded in with the game! If there were a respectable looking alternate, I wouldn't mind purchasing a used box-free game, as I'd be able to provide my own case art.




(reason for not reading every page: I do voluntary work, and the only internet access I can afford is dial up. The lines around here stink big time, and it takes me years to load what should load in under a minute. So forgive me. Please.)

[Backlash]

Ha ha ha! Actually, the GBA project is the original project that this was based on! There's a thread around somewhere on it, but just go to snackbar-games.com and click the tab for gba covers. There are hundreds of them!

Edit: Here's the page: http://www.snackbar-games.com/gbacovers.php

It's kinda slow though IMO so it might not be great over dialup.

[TheValeman]

Dialup? What's that? Ahh ..... thats right. It's like surface mail :D

[TehTriggerman]

Id love to Help! But I Dont have a scanner, When I got married and moved I never unpacked it and God only knows where it is. Is there some otherway to capture the images?:-k

[TheValeman]

Not really. We need the boxes scanned at 300dpi....front,back and the spine with the name on it. Any other way yields too lower images to do anything with and invariably are not consistent in colour, angle etc.

Find that scanner buddy

And they're only 30 bucks over there aren't they? Gotta be a fantastic excuse to get that new one you always wanted :)

If you could go to your local print shop and have the boxes scanned that would be awesome!

[Machikunas]

Well, I'd like to get a bunch of cases, but not a hundred... anyone want to go in on it with me?

[DustBoogie]

Well, I'd like to get a bunch of cases, but not a hundred... anyone want to go in on it with me?

I need about 10, and I know Chrono72090 was looking for somewhere around 25 or something like that. Did you need 65 cases? :P Maybe if we can find one more person we can do it.

[SMMM]

I need around 40 or so.

[pimp tyranny]

do y'all by any chance need the Limited Editions of Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time?

[SMMM]

do y'all by any chance need the Limited Editions of Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time?

Collector's Editiion of Majora's Mask is the default one, so we actually need a normal version of that.

We could use the Limited Edition of OOT, though.

[botticus]

Hmm... those cases look rather nice. I'll have to see how many N64 carts I have (which would be every N64 game I have).

[TheValeman]

cheers

[jeffreyjrose]

I just briefly looked through the list, and I have about 8-12 scans that I can add to the cause. Almost all of my games were removed straight from their respective boxes, and the boxes were then placed in storage. They should all be sun damage free.

The catch? I'm in San Francisco right now, 2500 miles from my games. Someone will need to remind me 6 weeks from now, or I will forget. :)

This is just a test. But I was hoping to contribute something while I try and find my scanner. These were taken manually. I really hope this helps in the mean time if so I can start doing this for now.8-) When I find my scanner where do I host the images? Post the URL here?

Nate1749 has set up a place to upload raw scans for your covers.

Go to http://ukbeats.com/n64/raw?page=1

and click login in the upper right hand corner

login:n64covers
pass:n64covers

Once those covers are uploaded, we can work on them and create n64 game covers.

See message 881 for more games with boxes purchased....

[Machikunas]

Allright, about buying the N64 cases.

DustBoogie wants 10
Chrono72090 wants 25
SMMM wants 40

Which leaves 25 for me. That sounds almost perfect.

Can everyone confirm? I'm willing to order them and mess with sending them out to everyone so long as everyone can pay their fair share and then whatever the cost is for me to ship them out to everyone.

[nate1749]

TehTriggerman - Msg me your mailing address if your in the continental USA. I have an extra slim canon scanner (either 1200 or 2400dpi, either way works fine for this project) that I can mail you. I just ask want to make sure you've got a bunch to contribute and will (you seem motivated so great!). Thanks,

Wow that would be freaking sweet for the SNES project. He has a few I need that I figured we'd never get, like Rampart. If we could get a bunch of people to throw in a few bucks each and ship them to someone who would scan them in I'd certainly contribute some $$. That would be hard to organize in 3 days though.

Yeah ... I don't have a SNES and I'm maxxed out financially on the N64 purchases recently but I thought it was an interesting auction nonetheless :)
Otherwise I'd been happy to contribute towards it.

EDIT. Just purchased a 9 game bundle with 5 games not yet scanned. See message 881 for the gory details....

Here's Hydro Thunder NTSC .......

http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4927/hydrothundersmall4ko.th.jpg (http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hydrothundersmall4ko.jpg)

Crikey. Just got the Visa bill and I've overspent getting all this stuff by $500+ so absolutely NO more purchases until I'm back in the black.

[nate1749]

im also not interested in the snes project, but ill buy all those boxes and scan them in and resell them again, id probably lose some cash, but whatever i don't care. He's got a reserve on it though, so i messaged him asking what it is... aren't there like 700+ ntsc snes games though? I mean 268 would make a dent, but not even 1/2 way there. Plus I can't convert them (don't have the photoshop skills), but I'm sure someone would do them eventually if I uploaded th raws.

If anyone sees a large (50 boxes that we need) n64 lot please let me know, i check ebay every so once in awhile, but im still regreting when I passed up on some huge lots right when I got involved with this project.

See message #881.
I brought a 28 box lot and a 15 box lot a few days and a 9 lot today. Hence my Visa account looking like crap :)
Just waiting on them arriving but I did get Hydro Thunder today along with Nascar 2000 and Knife Edge- Nose Gunner so you'll see those shortly here and on Snack-bar.

In N64 systems on EBAY there's a 41 game box system lot due to end in a few hours but it's over $100 already and I haven't added up how any of those we dont have. I'd love them...they look fab condition and there's a couple of rarities like Ogre Battle 64 & Spideyman.

Alas .... I cant contribute financially at this point until I get my deficit cleared but it's better for our cause to get those vs the SNES one's..... SMMM may disagree though :D

EDIT. Here's Nascar 2000 NTSC for all you red box lovers......

Yes, I would since the SNES project is currently at about 5%...those boxes would be a verrry nice dent. Besides, it's almost impossible to find boxes for games like 3 Ninjas Kick Back and Rocko's Modern Life nowadays. by the way, I love you nate.

also...those N64 games I ordered have still not arrived. I'm getting a bit worried...

I suppose those 268 covers would get the SNES project to 30% which is a huge increase although I think Nate might be scannered out by the time he finishes. Then you'll have a fair bit of conversion work to do SMMM

Maybe I shouldn't of let you guys know about that auction.:)

Anyway .... here's Knife Edge - Nose Gunner NTSC ......

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/7020/knifeedgenosegunner0bz.th.jpg (http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=knifeedgenosegunner0bz.jpg)

Looking forward to that N64 arriving. Hydro Thunder wont work with my Ultra64 SFX adapter on the PAL machine. Sniff sniff ... get a dreaded "Not designed for your region" message.

All the covers have been upped to Snack-bar for Snowcone to do his thing. Has anyone else noticed that there is no directory for numbered games. I had to search for 1080 to list them which allowed me to then get to them. I wonder if it's a mistake on their part or maybe I'm not doing something quite right?

EDIT. Here's the link for the 43 game N64 pack for sale on EBAY.

Quite an impressive lot for someone wanting to get into N64 actually. However, if you look at the games there's not too many we dont already have. The biggie is Shadowgate 64 ... I haven't seen a boxed version of that anywhere else.

[nate1749]

he wouldn't tell me what the reserve price is for the snes, i bid 100 and hope no one else does and then they offer it to me at that price.. I can scan boxes in at work since i run a small company with a friend and do whatever I want =) So I won't get sick of it, I already scan every dvd disc cover I get that isn't a "rental only" one. I also bid 150 on that n64, but it ended at 250, forget that. Seems like everyones got their tax money back and eBay junk is insane.

Nate

[SMMM]

If you want, I'll bid on the SNES lot if you promise to outbid me.

[TheValeman]

7 more NTSC cart labels added to my Box.net directory.

$250 for that N64 lot ... that's insane alright. Add $100 for postage and 40% for the total value on top means it would've cost me $600NZ for that lot. Wow!!

I wonder how much those SNES boxes will go for. It's a huge lot so even if the reserve is set at $1.00 each .... phew .... big pockets required. :roll:
Holy cow thats a huge load of boxes they're packed in. makes the $35 postage fee look pretty reasonable...hehe

[TheValeman]

I already scan every dvd disc cover I get that isn't a "rental only" one.

Nate

Crikey ... you got those online somewhere? :D

Well at least 4 people (myself included) have offered to chip in $10 each. We can probably get a few more. If you then resell them after scanning it shouldn't be too bad financially in the end. Hope you win! :)

[nate1749]

oh I'm fine on cash, but thanks for offering to chip in. I sold my g35 (http://ukbeats.com/2003infintig35.JPG) after my road trip that was costing me a grand a month (payment, gas, insurance, tickets) so I've got more disposable income... If anything donate to thevaleman, he needs it.

it's just the principle... I'm not willing to spend $400 on some snes boxes if I believe they're only going to resell for $50... That auction just has a monopoly over snes box scene, haha... Not to change the topic to snes, but let me know what you think is fair for that box lot and then I'll probably bid that.

Nate

[nate1749]

Crikey ... you got those online somewhere? :D

in reply to scanning on dvd disc covers...
I recommend you use cdcovers.cc and I've got a bunch of images to submit to them, but I never seem to get around to it. They've got some annoying image standards so I hate having to modify my scans to conform to them (which I don't 100% agree with). My labels are all NTSC though, on cdcovers.cc you'll find PAL submissions, also they have a message board you can request covers or there are tutorials on how to make your own (e.g. vcd's) and have them look professional.

Nate

[TheValeman]

I think $1 per cover isn't unrealistic so a $200 bid for 268 boxes is probably what I'd go if I had all that dosh and no supercar to spend it on :D

The big value of the boxes however, will be realised by someone owns truckloads of carts they want to sell and no boxes as it'll make them a more attractive sale item if they put the two together.

So although a $200 bid sounds like a possible winner I think you will find the big name gameshop players will come out towards the end if the N64 auctions I've bid on and lost recently is any indication. With a box adding several dollars to the sale price...specially for rarer carts I wouldn't be surprised to see $300-$400 on this lot.

But that's just my opinion. Always happy to be proved wrong :)

The N64 Label Vault (http://4tygames.googlepages.com/home2)


Tell me what you think about it. I will scan my cartridges soon.

[TheValeman]

How much space does your site host give you?

I have 85+ labels on my Box.net dir ... most PAL ... but I'm now collecting US games thanks to Nate and his N64 offer so I have some 40+ games coming a lot of which are boxed and not as yet scanned so it'll mean a whole lot of labels too in addition to the covers.
So you can download them and transfer them onto your site if you want to.

EDIT. I looked at googlepages and your site is limited to 100mb's. My labels currently take 36mb's of space so I think you wont be able to host all labels on your site. Still....at least I'll be able to get them off there and up them to Box.net

[SMMM]

I have a google pages account as well. Perhaps we can split up the alphabet and have A-M on his and N-Z on mine.

[4tygames]

Please Digg This: http://digg.com/gaming/N64_Cover_Project

I have been working on the labels. I think there needs to be one central location for the website, but if you want to host labels N-Z, that would be awesome. Just PM me the links and I'll post the links up. Hopefully, I can get little mini picture links to work on Google Pages, if not, then we can make the labels into 2 pages or something.

[TheValeman]

The problem with Box.net and googlepages is that only the owner can update them.
What we really need is something like UKBeats or Snack-bar where submissions can be made by anyone logging in.

I'm not too happy with giving access logins onto my personal accounts going by the things I've seen uploaded to my alternate imageshack site ... items not anything to do with the n64cover forum.

So whatever you guys do is okay but I'll continue to update my Box.net dir with any submissions to the other sites anyway. Good to have a backup in case something happens to the sites like what happened to UKBeats last year

[4tygames]

Point taken.

So... I will create a Google Account for Googlepages and share it with everyone.

EDIT:

All right, here is the googlepage account for anyone that wants to help out and create this awesome website for N64 Labels:

Just go to googlepages.com

Email: n64labels

Password: cheapassgamer

I haven't done anything yet to it, but if someone wants to take the time to upload and design the website, feel free to go ahead and do that.

Just remember, PLEASE SIGN OUT once you are finished updating the website.

[InfiniteStill]

To everyone involved:- This is an awesome project and thanks to all of you for your time. I have all of my N64 games already in plastic cases that perfectly fit these covers and like everyone else regret throwing away those boxes.

With that said, where do I download all of the covers!? I've read through 18 pages from this thread and still can't find a link to go fetch the most current archive of all of the covers.

Thanks again and keep up the great work.

It's in the very first post, under the heading "Existing Covers." They're up on Snackbar Games (http://www.snackbar-games.com/gbacovers.php) (click the N64 tab).

[yoshidude81]

Do you want us to submit boxart if we have it? I'm pretty sure that I have the Majora's Mask box, and a bunch of SNES boxes.

[4tygames]

Check the list (http://4tygames.googlepages.com/newn64list.htm) first. We already have a cover for Majora's Mask NTSC, but I think the SNES cover project would be grateful if you scanned in your SNES boxes.

[yoshidude81]

Ah, I see. I was looking at the Snackbar Games site. I'll check to see what boxes I have, I might have some other N64 ones and I don't have all the SNES ones memorized, but I should have a decent amount to contribute.
This is a really cool project, very good idea. I'll probably get some when I can.

[nate1749]

yeah there's no limit on space on my host, i mean it's like 10gigs or something i dunno, but even if i go over then I just have to pay a little more or something, whatever. The gallery function on ukbeats works fine. For whatever reason 1 person has been having trouble with it, but I've tested it with multiple computers at multiple locations and it's a-ok. I've also set the gallery permissions so anyone can upload, but only I can delete.

The reason my gallery went down last year was because my web host did a databse upgrade and then had to manually fix a bunch of sites with gallery installed... I initially was trying to fix it myself because I didn't want them to see the covers and perhaps complain about copyrights or something, but after failing I just contacted them and they fixed it in 5 minutes.

Nate

[TheValeman]

UPDATE:
I have now converted ALL the box scan's curently on UKBeats and as such you can probably delete those images .... or at least move then to a different directory so that all that remains in there is yet to be scanned art. That way I don't have to trawl thru multile pages looking for new stuff.
As space isn't a problem I suggest creating a "Completed" dir and placing that art in there as an archive.

What do you think Nate?

I am currently uploading battletanx Global Assault to Snack-bar along with corrected versions of Quake II and Shadowman with the NTSC spines. Someone needs to get hold of Snowcone to advise him to replace the existing US versions with these.

[TheValeman]

I just opened my front door to find a HUGE load of goodies sitting there.

First there was my box of 24 N64 boxes sent via my brother as the seller wouldn't ship International.

Next up was a box containing 6 Brand New never opened wrestling games 5 of which we dont yet have covers for so these will provide excellent scans for them after removing from shrinkwrap

Then my Aerofighters Assault boxed game came out of the next package.

Lastly but the best by far was the N64 console courtesy of Nate. You're a legend buddy and I'm going to be busy in the next couple of weeks creating covers for a ton of games thanks to your generosity. Oh ... the little extra's were fantastic too:D
I plugged my NZ PSU and controllers into it & away it went. Hydro Thunder works a treat on this baby.

So expect a big contribution of new covers from me shortly. Any new covers on UKBeats will probably take a back seat while I trawl thru this humongous lot but never fear ... TheValeman will get there ... eventually.

[RockinX]

I checked Snackbar and it doesn't have my Megaman 64 cover :S

By the way, Valeman, congratulations! that stuff must have been awesome to get.

[4tygames]

That's awesome TheValeman!

Can't wait for that Aerofighters Assault cover :D

[TheValeman]

That's awesome TheValeman!

Can't wait for that Aerofighters Assault cover :D

hehe .... seeing as you put up the label I gathered you'd be interested in that cover.

However...... here's a teaser ....

WCW Back Stage Assault in all it's glory.

and WCW Mayhem. These are pristine meaning no huge corrective work so it's easy to get them up fast....

http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/525/wcwmayhemsmall5jy.th.jpg (http://img453.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wcwmayhemsmall5jy.jpg)

Still running hot. Here's WWF No Mercy for all you wrestling fan's ..........

Another one hits the mat ..... Wrestlemania 2000

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/4643/wwfwrestlemania20005uz.th.jpg (http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wwfwrestlemania20005uz.jpg)

All have been upped to Snack-bar.

[nate1749]

My "completed" directory is the final gallery, I delete them from the raw after they've been finalized. Initially everything was ran thru me, but then snackbar joined in and that's the primary now, I will try to update my final gallery to mirror that of snackbars so there's a backup.

I'm surprised your n64 came that quick, that's great to hear it only took a little more than week to get there. It sometimes takes almost a week to get my netflix movies and those are mailed in the same city I live! (chicago).

Always the way isn't it. Taken longer to get a game sent local as well so all Postal Services are same everywhere.

Working hard to justify the generosity though

I'm down to three wrestling games to go and I then think we've pretty much got every wrestlefest on N64 scanned and delivered.:)
Then it's on to better things. Maybe Aerofighters ...although that needs a bit of work. Superman box is stuffed though with huge part of the front ripped off :cry:

Although it's a crap game I'll look at buying a mint copy but it won't be happening any time soon until my Visa bill's not so huge. Working on that though as now I have that N64 I can finally sell of the remaining PAL games so hopefully that'll make a dent in it.

Wrestling round 2 ....... ECW Hardcore Revolution

http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/3326/ecwhardcorerevolution8wd.th.jpg (http://img240.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ecwhardcorerevolution8wd.jpg)

Ding ding ......... WWF Attitude ..... Sorry SMMM but it might be good to go with the Mint copy I got.... Upped because the list said we needed a better copy.

http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/2225/wwfattitude4oe.th.jpg (http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wwfattitude4oe.jpg)

And lastly we have WCW NWO Revenge to complement my PAL scan. I know we already have it but I prefer the green spine and the colours are truer to the box on my scan so take your pick of which you prefer.

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/7127/wcwnworevengesmall0an.th.jpg (http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wcwnworevengesmall0an.jpg)

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/5415/fightingforce64small9rd.th.jpg (http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fightingforce64small9rd.jpg)

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/157/asteroidshyper648wi.th.jpg (http://img211.imageshack.us/my.php?image=asteroidshyper648wi.jpg)

And especially for 4tygames for his helping me out with cases etc ..... Aerofighters Assault. Quite a bit of work required as box wasn't as good as the auction indicated. Still .... better than zero .......

http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/4505/aerofightersassaultsmall1mj.th.jpg (http://img162.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aerofightersassaultsmall1mj.jpg)

And the last one for the night is ..... Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. And yes .. the colour on the front is pink compared to the back and no it isn't sun faded as all the other colours are vibrant.

http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/7623/srainbowsix9rw.th.jpg (http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=srainbowsix9rw.jpg)

I'm all scannered out so that's all from me tonight. See you all for round two tomorrow.

[Snowcone]

I'm posting all the newest covers right now. We are well past 1000 now.

[RockinX]

I'm posting all the newest covers right now. We are well past 1000 now.
What about the Megaman 64 one? was it just not showing up? Or should I upload it again?

[TheValeman]

I'm posting all the newest covers right now. We are well past 1000 now.

Hi Snowcone. Good to see you around here.

Can you replace the existing WWF Attitude with the version I uploaded yesterday. I think the previous one was low res or something and a better copy was requested.

Additionally the Quake II has been resubmitted with a proper spine so the US version of that needs to be replaced with the one uploaded yesterday with the green spine.

We may as well make sure they're identical to the original boxes eh.

Cheers

[Nintendud]

This is a great project! I still have all my N64 cases in excellent condition. I currently have three NTSC box scans that I will submit to the raw scans collection (since I am no good with graphics programs): Space Station Silicon Valley, Banjo Tooie, and South Park (if I can get this sticker off the box cleanly x_x). I'll talk to all my N64-box possessing friends and see what other boxes they have.
I wish I had more to contribute, but oh well! See ya!

[TheValeman]

First up is a corrected version of Turok 2 - Seeds of Evil with the proper spine.

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/773/turok2seedsofevilpropersmall5j.th.jpg (http://img255.imageshack.us/my.php?image=turok2seedsofevilpropersmall5j.jpg)

I always knew there was a possibility that US versions wouldn't be totally the same as the PAL versions but everyone wanted red spines so this is the result where I finally figure the correct one out when changing to US games. But I'm a stickler for correctness/authenticity.

Next up is "Hail to the King baby!!!" .... Duke Nukem Zero Hour to add to the PAL version I have already submitted.....

http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/7619/dukenukemzerohoursmall7pp.th.jpg (http://img290.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dukenukemzerohoursmall7pp.jpg)

Followed by Carmageddon 64 ..... another that can be marked off as Complete .......

http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/5858/carmageddon64small0vm.th.jpg (http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=carmageddon64small0vm.jpg)

Yet another in the complete basket ..... Snowboard Kids

http://img276.imageshack.us/img276/909/snowboardkidssmall5xa.th.jpg (http://img276.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snowboardkidssmall5xa.jpg)

Last for today is ..... NFL Quarterback Club 98 .... mark it off as Complete as well.

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/2797/nflqbclub98small2rn.th.jpg (http://img257.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nflqbclub98small2rn.jpg)

After that run of scanning & converting I am now left after removing boxes we already have covers for, a total of four boxes remaining in this lot yet to be scanned. They are Madden 2002 , Tony Hawk 1 & 2 and Waialae Country Club. I'll get to those in the next day or so.

Hope everyone's got something they need out of this lot. Look forward to next 25 odd games coming in shortly hopefully.

[TheValeman]

I still have coming WWF Warzone and WCW Nitro at which point I think we will have every wrestling game about covered.

Speaking of WWF Warzone though, looking at Snack-bar the black spined PAL _Eur version by Slash000 is incorrectly listed as the USA version. So Snowcone ... if you read this can you change the existing one to _EUR so I can load the red spined US version when it arrives?

Has anyone noticed that that particular cover is all over the place quality wise with blurry writing in some paragraphs and almost too clear in others. It has the feeling of a hand made cover especially on the rear. I think we may want to look out for another PAL cover to replace that one to be honest.

EDIT. Nighty night ... Oh ...something to think about ..... Madden 2002

http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/1549/madden2002small6ka.th.jpg (http://img95.imageshack.us/my.php?image=madden2002small6ka.jpg)

Wow ... my imageshack dir tells me I have upped 126 covers to Snack-bar. Holy cow!!!

[Nintendud]

I'll get to scanning when I get home from school!
I managed to get the sticker off the South Park box, but a little section of the box has small remnants of it. I don't suppose that it would be very hard for someone to fix that in PhotoShop in something? Since it IS a South Park cover, the building that it is on is a solid color, as well as the other parts it is on.
Also, there is a small... how do I say this... crease? on the box where I was rubbing to get the sticker off. All of this goes through sections of the box with solid colors. I hope that it can be fixed :)
My other two boxes seem to be well. By the way, which spine should I scan? The green one, or the blue one? Or both? If I don't get a response by scanning time, I'll opt to do both.

I have a South Park coming as well so it's not an issue if it cant be cleaned up as we'll have a backup.

I prefer the green spines myself but whatever takes your fancy.

Just scan the front, back and whatever spine at 300dpi and post them on UKBeats site ... the link you'll find on page 42 or thereabouts.
Try to scan them as straight as possible too and dont try cropping too close to the box. It's easier for me .... as I do most of the converting .... to clean it up anyway.

I look forward to seeing Banjo Twooie :)

Great to see a new face providing scans for the cause.

[Jewelz23]

I bought a N64 off the strength of this thread alone...as a favor to all cags who want covers I am going to Zip up all the files that are uploaded and put them on my site so people can download.


thanks

[Jewelz23]

if anyone can upload Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero that would be awesome.

[Backlash]

Just scan the front, back and whatever spine at 300dpi and post them on UKBeats site ... the link you'll find on page 42 or thereabouts.

The OP on page 1 is also updated with all the correct links (at least as far as I know).

[Nintendud]

So I scanned all three boxes like I said I would, but.. the scans looked like utter crap. It looked like all the ink dots were enlarged and everything. However, I found that I could make it look better using this "descreen" option in my HP Scanning program and turning the sharpening down to nothing. I hope that the result is acceptable! I'll be uploading them now. Please email me at nintendud [at] gmail [dot] com if anything is wrong. I also want to note that there is some dust on my scanner and probably some fingerprints.
I didn't cut the boxes at all, really. I left plenty of space. The area around the box is progressively darker because I have a flatbed scanner, and I had to hold up the lid for the two sides (I scanned both sides, just in case one looked better than the other) and rest the lid on the top of the box for the top and bottom scans.
Anyway, I hope that these turn into decent covers! I made sure they scanned in 300dpi. :)
Check for them in the raw scans section!
(Also note that you can clearly see a crease in the South Park box on the front and one side, and also some remnants from that evil sticker on the top).

Edit: ALL UPLOADED! I also have Sega Genesis, Atari 400, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color, GameCube, Nintendo DS, 1 NES, and 1 DC box. Are there similar projects like this for any of these systems?

[TheValeman]

The dots are generally caused by crap on the glass. Mine does the same. I'm opening it up tonight. Usually I clone them out but unless they're really big they aren't noticed on a printed copy for the cases anyway. Gives it an authentic look anyway. I hate descreening though as it has the potential to lose finer detailing so I avoid it.
Better to just clean the glass with water and dry with a lint free cloth.

I await them with bated breath :)

EDIT> Got them. Good condition too. I'll take them home on my portable hdd tonight and convert them & upload to Snack-bar. Nicely done.

[Nintendud]

Good. I thought they came out rather nice too. I think some of the dust is inside the glass, but since the scanner isn't actually mine I don't have the right to clean it.
I await the final product :)

There's a huge one for GBA and GCB - check out Snackbar. There's also a minor effort around Sega Genesis going on here I think. Again, just check Snackbar to see what's already done. The Genesis thread should be in this forum somewhere.

Thanks for the scans. The Southpark didn't look too bad at all, and, as you said, it won't be hard to Photoshop those creases since they're on solid backgrounds.

[TheValeman]

Thank goodness for the good ol cloning tool. Actually .. Photoshop's version is way better than Paintshop Pro's but it's a real pain to use every other way.

N64 List Updated (http://4tygames.googlepages.com/newn64list.htm)

Once I saw that Aerofighters Assault cover, I printed it out and put it in one of my cases! Thanks for the Automobili Lamborghini one too. Looking forward to the Tony Hawk cover :D.

EDIT: I'm sorry Backlash, but could you change the URL for the N64 Game list. I moved it over to GooglePages because it is faster and I have unlimited bandwidth on it.

[Schenley]

Hey, Guys!!

Sorry for my absence - real life stuff...

Anyway, I finally went through all my games and what needs boxes, what doesn't etc...

I've already uploaded raws from all the boxes I have that were needed.

I have the following that need covers:

Army Men - Sarge's Heroes 2
Blues Brothers 2000
Bottom of the 9th
A Bug's Life
Duke Nukem 64
FIFA '99
Madden 2000
Madden 2001
NBA Courtside - Featuring Kobe Bryant
NBA In the Zone '99
NBA Jam 2000
NHL Blades of Steel '99
NHL Breakaway '99
Triple Play 2000
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey

Now, I don't want to sound like a leech, so I have the following offer...

If anyone needs any covers, I will check out my my favorite gaming store (www.digitpress.com/store) for requests of N64 covers. I will purchase requests and scan the covers for this project. I usually purchase games every time I'm there for this project, but I can take requests...

[TheValeman]

Good. I thought they came out rather nice too. I think some of the dust is inside the glass, but since the scanner isn't actually mine I don't have the right to clean it.

Hi Bud ....

Special request ..... can you rescan the red/pink sidebar on the back of Banjo Twooie again. The Small writing is illegible. Note that the TM sign by the Nintendo seal is just a blotch. I have a feeling the despeckle routine did what i thought and killed the finer detailing. Just a feeling but if you could rescan that part with no enhancement and up it it'll give a clue.

Cheers

Oh ...... and Schenley .....

I have Army Heroes 2 coming so that'll be one down for you.

EDIT. Oh well .... even allowing for the text on the back which I sorta nullified a bit by filling the sidebar with a single colour it doesn't look too bad at all so here it is .....

I have Gex 3 - Deep Cover Gecko coming and we have South Park on UKBeats which I am converting at present. Vigilante 8 2nd Offensive is really hard to find boxed in good condition so that'll be a great addition. See message #881 on pg 45 for a list of what I have coming.

EDIT> I have converted SPace Station Slicon Valley as well but I'm at work so cant upload it until I get home. I cant help feeling though that the descreening option has decreased their quality. It's especially evident when you're editing as zooming shows a way more blocky/messy image. Still .... I suppose for the size of the printout they'll probably look ok. I think it'd be better not to use those options on future scanning though.
Someone want to print out Banjo or South Park and tell me what they look like? I would but I've run out of cyan toner for my colour laser printer. Gee ... when it rains it pours ....

[Backlash]

Yay South Park Rally! I still need that one. I made a ghetto cover from that one scan site, but I did a horrible job and the scans were at a really low resolution so I never even mentioned it.

Those should all be NTSC. Most are from the same seller, and it's cheap shipping. Anyway, I thought that might be helpful to post. I hope they don't go up too much in the next few days >_>

[TheValeman]

I'll rescan it today. I'll edit this post once it's up. Also, if hosting is needed for scans or the scan list, I can supply it, since I have hosting with plenty of bandwidth and space.

Everythings ok except the sidebar which has really really small text. You could scan that @ 600 dpi and post and I'll overwrite the sidebar on my copy to see if it makes a difference.
Don't fret too much. I'm just a tad picky :)
Just want to prove the theory ...that's all.

Not sure it'd be worth uploading a new version as in all fairness I don't think anyone would give a toss about that back writing on the sidebar anyway. But until someone prints one and let's me know I can't say one way or the other.

Cheers

[Nintendud]

Well, I did upload a new version. No descreening. It actually looks good too. Makes me wonder why they looked so crappy before. I hope this helps. I'll scan it again at 600DPI in a second and upload it.

Edit: 600DPI scan of bottom bar uploaded.

I already have both Tony Hawk 1 & 2. See message 881 on pg 45 as to what I have or am expecting delivery of soon. It'll be up soon.

You need to email the seller and quantify the quality of the box before even considering bidding. The aution states it comes with a box but in a lot of cases they use a stock photo rather than one of the item you are purchasing.... sometimes for a good reason....eg....it's crap. Got Superman like that .... front had huge part ripped off where they'd removed a sticker with "Maximum Power ......." ...er ... sorry for the Wave Race quote ... but you know what I mean.

[TheValeman]

Edit: 600DPI scan of bottom bar uploaded.

Got it. Yep .... 600dpi made a HUGE difference to the sidebar. Also no descreening made a difference on the standard 300dpi as well. I think the text is soo small on the sidebar etc the the filter actually thinks the text is crap and does exactly what it's designed ..... minimize it out... resulting in crap text. Note the Nintendo gold seal? the TM after it is a blotch as a result of descreening yet on others without filtering it's legible.

Seriously though .... we should leave the rescanned sidebar etc on UKBeats for a while and people can subtitute the better quality version over the first IF they want to. Then we dont have to muck around trying to get Snowcone to delete the existing one on Snack-bar etc.

Me? I'm gonna drop that 600dpi scan over the top as soon as I get home and resave it for the new and Improved Banjo Twooie. Dont care about file size :D

[Nintendud]

If you want anything else rescanned, just tell me. I'm going to call some friends and see what boxes they have.

[TheValeman]

If you want anything else rescanned, just tell me. I'm going to call some friends and see what boxes they have.

If you want to .... just the sidebars for the other two boxes would be great as I can incorporate the better one into Space Silly Valley prior to uploading it to Snack-bar.

Seriously .... it's great to have you onboard. See message #881 pg 45 for what I have coming so you dont duplicate effort. BUT .......get a list of what your friends have because if any of mine turn up and they're crap like Superman was ... or they dont turn up at all ...... we will have a backup.

All good news. :D

[Nintendud]

I'll rescan those sidebars tomorrow. One friend had no boxes D:
I have one other person to call... >_>

[TheValeman]

Sweet!!

Hi Nate if you're around. What happened re those SNES boxes?

Did the seller give you a fixed price offer after it ended?

I cant believe no-one else bid on them. Just goes to show when things old they dont intrinsically increase in value. EG ... N64 is better selling than SNES where gameshops etc are concerned going by the bidding wars on EBAY for wholesale lots of boxes/ boxed games.

Look what arrived in the post today ..... Hydro Thunder PAL for black sidebar lovers out there. Another can be ticked off as complete ....

Brand new shrink wrapped in Mint condition makes for an easy scan I tell you.

Man, 300 some-odd boxes and still no Super Mario World or ActRaiser.

[Nintendud]

Okay, bottom bars uploaded. Do you want 600DPI scans of the front red bars?
Also, none of my friends have any boxes! Argh! I can list my N64 games though.

Edit: Here are my games for N64:
South Park
Space Station Silicon Valley
Banjo Tooie
Perfect Dark
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Collector's Edition)
Mario Tennis
Donkey Kong 64 (with Expansion Pack INCLUDED! message on front, and says Collector's Edition Yellow Gamepak)
Super Mario 64 (Player's Choice box)
Pokemon Snap (Haha, just noticed text on that back that says THIS IS A GAME PAK, NOT A CAMERA. in a box)
Pokemon Stadium 2 (Pretty silver/gold shiny box)
Pokemon Stadium (HUGE ASS box; it came with the expansion pack)
Mario Kart 64 (Player's Choice box)
Gex 64: Enter the Gecko
Banjo Kazooie

And those are the games I have. All have boxes. If any of those need to be rescanned, or there's a variation I have that's needed, tell me! All of my boxes are in excellent shape and perfect scanning condition. I'm going to check out the scans of this game now and see if my boxes differ in any way ;p

Edit 2: Okay, there is no scan of the Super Mario 64 Player's Choice box, and no scan of Pokemon Stadium (even though I believe the list says it's scanned...) Also, due to the shinyness of the box, the Pokemon Stadium 2 box scan came out a little dark. I could try scanning all those if you need them.

[TheValeman]

Got them. Excellent stuff.

I'll take them home and overlay on to Space Silly Valley and South Park tonight.

I think all the other titles you have are already scanned in good condition so don't work your butt off unless someone tells you a particular one is in need of replacing .... much like WWF Attitude in the N64list.

I scanned it again off my mint copy ... uploaded to Snack-bar and no sign of it. Oh well .... cant do any more than that. You knocked three off our needed list so great stuff anyway. Keep checking if mates have mates with N64's though ...

EDIT> I'll get Tony Hawk 2 up tonight for all you sk8tbd luvers out there.

Here's Space Station Silicon Valley with the higher res sidebar. Looks really nice too ........

And the last for the night is .......... Army Men - Sarge's Heroes 2. Man this box was pretty screwed but I got a reasonable cover out of it I think ....

http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/2264/armymensargesheroes2small3hd.th.jpg (http://img106.imageshack.us/my.php?image=armymensargesheroes2small3hd.jpg)

N64 List Updated (http://4tygames.googlepages.com/newn64list.htm)

[TheValeman]

wants to spend $3 + postage for a game box .....

http://stores.ebay.com/GameGurusPlanet

This guy has game boxes for sale for games like Monster Truck Madness, Battlezone and heaps of others. It may be a way for people here to contribute as $8 [incl postage] isn't a big outlay and if everyone here took just one it would probably make a big dent in the yet to be scanned list.

He doesn't ship internationally unfortunately or I would've got a Battlezone box as it's my fave PC game .... well .... and I'm broke at present from buying all that other stuff I contributed recently :cry:

If anyone does get something scan it and upload to UKBeats (http://ukbeats.com/n64/raw?page=1) and I'll do the rest.

[Azatera]

N64 List Updated (http://4tygames.googlepages.com/newn64list.htm)

How do I go about downloading some of these covers? When I hit the link, it takes me to the page with all the games listed....but I can't do anything.
Awesome job Btw. :applause:

[TheValeman]

That page lists every N64 game released and whether we have / dont have covers for it.
To get the covers go to Snack-bar (http://www.snackbar-games.com/gbacovers.php?cat=n64)games where you can get covers for a whole heap of other systems too.

And if you like what you get then consider contributing to the cause by buying a box / boxed game for one of those we dont yet have a cover for and scan it. Or you may already have boxed games in which case check if any aren't yet scanned and if you do have one scan that and submit it.

Cheers

Dude, I appreciate all you do for this cause. So, in addition to the 11 boxes that I mentioned above that I bought, I picked up the Battlezone box from the guy you mentioned.

I got your back!

[TheValeman]

Dude, I appreciate all you do for this cause. So, in addition to the 11 boxes that I mentioned above that I bought, I picked up the Battlezone box from the guy you mentioned.

I got your back!

Wow!!

You got 11 games coming? Fantastic. Which ones are from that list you gave?

I have no idea what Battlezone looks like on N64 but I still have BZ2 on my PC to this day for the odd game when I'm BF2'd out. Never saw it in PAL so when I got Nate's N64 I thought ... yippee ... let's grab one. But man ... is it difficult to find. Manual? .... no chance by the look of it. Boxed? ... about the same.

Then I find that guy but he won't ship internationally.

UPDATE: One guy has just put a copy with manual up for sale so I'm watching that like a hawk. If we get that box of your's converted I reckon it'll be the toughest game to get off the unscanned list.

And ...yep....still broke ...but I'd sell my soul ...er ...maybe wife ....for Battlezone ;)

Just so everyone knows ..... I'm still expecting a box with the following games:

multi racing championship .... will be able to mark off this game as complete as I have provided PAL cover
nba live 99 .... already have
wheel of fortune .... New cover not yet scanned
quake 2 .... already have
nfl quarterback club 99 .... will be able to mark off this game as complete as I have provided PAL cover
forsaken 64 .... already have
south park .... already have thanks to Nintendud but he wasn't around when I won the package
1080 snowboarding .... already done
blast corps .... will be able to mark off this game as complete as I have provided PAL cover
starfox 64 .... already done

So that's another 4 covers that are needed. That's essentially my last until I get rid of those PAL games I have. Other than getting that Battlezone Cart/manual :-)

[SMMM]

arrrggg...the boxes I ordered still haven't come. Oh well, doesn't matter. You already got the ones I ordered now lol

Awesome, thanks man.

It sucks though, until recently I had about 20 boxed N64 games, but I tossed the boxes to fit the carts inside a cardboard box to free up space...now I regret it, hehe.
You guy's probably have all the ones I had though. It was basically all the most popular N64 games.

BTW.....I always wished Nintendo would have put N64 games in nice hardshell cases, but I guess everybody did. Those crappy flimsy boxes needed too much care to keep up.

[Nintendud]

BTW.....I always wished Nintendo would have put N64 games in nice hardshell cases, but I guess everybody did. Those crappy flimsy boxes needed too much care to keep up.
Yeah, I wish they did too, but the boxes weren't really flimsy. As long as you had room to store them, you're all set. My boxes have stayed in mint condition because I just stuff them in places where they fit. Currently I house all my games in their original boxes now :)
I guess that's just me though. I basically keep all my boxes. I still have the box to my Sega Genesis, a controller for it, N64, controller boxes for it, Atari 400 system box, Atari 400 game boxes, an N64 steering wheel box, a GBC box, a GBA box, a GCN box, all of the paper that was part of all GCN peripherals (the paper inside the plastic), DS box, E-Reader paper stuff, manuals for all the games for all those systems, and also the boxes for all the other stuff I have bought (hard drives, PC game controllers, etc). That's why I was excited that I could use my boxes to help others.
I would scan my other boxes of games for other systems, but I don't know where to contribute them to so people can convert them.
I guess this hoarding is the reason my room is filled with paper and other junk ;p

Thats alot of boxes man! I'd have to move into a bigger place if I had all that.

[Backlash]

I kept all my boxes for NES, SNES, and N64 for years, from like age 11 up through college. And then when I moved to Texas 5 years ago I thought "Why the hell did I keep all these? I don't need them" and threw them all away :(

[Schenley]

Dumbass ...... how could you away that wonderful box for the Midway Arcade Hits .... its like super rare now dont cha know? ROFLMAO

Just kidding around .... but seriously .... that garage sale story's getting old. I reckon you just dont want to own up to being the only person who ever bought it. I reckon the rest are sitting in that landfill beside ET for Atari 2600:lol:

[TheValeman]

arrrggg...the boxes I ordered still haven't come. Oh well, doesn't matter. You already got the ones I ordered now lol

Did you get it sent with Insurance? If yes then you should be covered.

What was the feedback like for the guy you got them off? [Assuming ebay]

I had 2 games not turn up and the guy said no insurance as I didn't ask. But it was my first EBAY from UK so I learnt my lesson and all stuff coming from USA has Insurance now so I don get a repeat of it.

Painful though as I lost Castlevania and Amorines PAL versions which would have given us 2 more Complete games. Now there's no chance unless someone in UK like Ross484 gets them as I'm into US games now.

Yeah .... I hust stumbled onto 3 auctions with multiple games .... and got them for a good price. Great getting all those wrestling games brand new. Not that I'll ever play them....cant stand wrestling. But they look good on the shelf

I hate it when they ship to Canada,US and nowhere else. I've asked the question...just waiting on an answer... as Turok and Namco Museum could both do with scanning. Chameleon would be a neat buy too but it has BIG Walmart stickers on it and it would be 50/50 whether they come off without damaging it.

Don't you hate it when games come up when yer broke ... LOL

Heh heh. Of course I have a few games that I got used and never had the box for, which are the ones we still don't have scans for anyway (e.g. Midway Arcade and Space Invaders). They'll show up eventually.

And I have ET for the 2600 right there in my living room. Nothing to be ashamed of there. Cart only of course.

[TheValeman]

E.T for 2600 in the living room? Ahhhh ..... I see ..... suppose with the right frame it does look pretty cool mounted on the wall ..... hehe

Is Space Invaders any good? Just that I see it for sale brand new on EBAY all the time but $15-$20 so wondering if it's actually good enoughto justify that price? Same for Midway....

If anyone's interested in a really really difficult to find game ..... look at this....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8279861435&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

I've seen it cart only like 3 or 4 times and once or twice boxed ... most of the time the boxes in pretty bad condition. This one looks nice. Might be of interest to someone. No idea about the game....never seen it in PAL either...

Note that I only put these up as a matter of interest in case someone has been looking for the game. Not putting pressure on anyone to buy if they dont actually want it or anything like that. Just that in my obsessive pursuit of new games as yet unscanned I occassionally stumble on a game I've never seen before so it makes sense to advertise it here in case someone's given up looking for it due to it being "uncommon"

I bid on it

[ZForce915]

Request for Pokemon Stadium and Snowboard Kids 2

[Backlash]

Space Invaders is fairly fun but it's really short and easy. My wife and I enjoy beating it together occasionally, as it's one of the few fun two-player co-op games on the N64. I think I got it cart-only for under $10 on ebay though.

Shadowgate 64 - I don't know how fun this one is, but I really enjoyed the original when it first came out, despite some really horrible game design flaws in one or two places. I still have it, in fact.

[Azatera]

I know this is offtopic....but I'm going to try here because the PS1 thread seems to be....dead.

Anyway, does anyone know where I can download DVD covers for these?

Tomb Raider 1&2
RE 3
Silent Hill
Dino Crisis 1&2
Gran Turismo 1
Twisted Metal 2

[Backlash]

If the other thread is dead (though you could bump it with your question) then start a new thread. This is pretty far off topic for this thread.

But, I think there's some site called cdcovers.com or something like that you can try.

It's www.cdcovers.cc (http://www.cdcovers.cc)

Request for Pokemon Stadium and Snowboard Kids 2

We don't take requests ....... :)

Seriously though ... I upped Pokemon Stadium to Snack-bar a while ago and it's disappeared into the ether so I'll re-up it when I get home from work today.

Snowboard Kids 2? Yeah .... I want that game but it's incredibly difficult to find on EBAY. Because we dont have the cover I've been looking at boxed games only. Most of the time it's turned up as part of a large collection only and I lost out bidding on the last lot ..... sigh!!

[Schenley]

OK, to update... Here's the ones I'm looking for - if anyone can help.

Blues Brothers 2000
Bottom of the 9th
A Bug's Life
Bust a Move 2
Duke Nukem 64
FIFA '99
Madden 2000
Madden 2001
NBA Courtside - Featuring Kobe Bryant
NBA In the Zone '99
NBA Jam 2000
NHL Blades of Steel '99
NHL Breakaway '98 (I have the box for this, and I thought I already scanned and uploaded it)
NHL Breakaway '99
Triple Play 2000
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey

NHL 99 is already on Snack-bar .... is that different to NHL Breakaway 99? American Sport games are so confusing being named so similar :roll:

I put up NHL Breakaway 98 PAL but if you have the box for the US version if you re-scan it we can whack that off the Incomplete list.

I was going to buy Triple Play 2000 once I've got my Visa bill under control as you can get it boxed for dirt cheap.... $5-$7 on EBAY. I'm interested in getting Duke Nukem 64 and A Bug's Life too. But Battle Zone - Rise of the Red Dogs take's precedence over everything [ including the wife ] .. hehe
