how long does it usually take before the covers show up on the snackbar list?

yeah the owner has an actually job and does it when he has free time. when you upload it though you can still access it just not through the little interface thing.
I've been kinda working on Evil Zone.

Here's what I have so far...I'm really not too happy with it for a few reasons, so it's definitely not the final version..

the spine art is isnt as wide as the playstation part on the spine.
the spine art is isnt as wide as the playstation part on the spine.
That's the case for a lot of PS2 games. The logo thing kinda overlaps it and shows on the front a bit. Or maybe only the ones I have. I dunno.

All the spines. Top 3 are PS2 games for comparison.

Evil Zone and PS2 game
The backs look terrific as well, but too lazy to do more pics at the moment. As expected, a few slight changes need to be made, but for the most part they look pretty damn good. Also, these are all in dusty, old cases. They'd probably look better in shiny new ones.

before you put them in i found folding the sides on the spine make it look a little better, it kinda hides the spnies's ps2 black bar a little. Did you just use DVD cases? Some of my ps2 games are like a little blue which annoys me.

Do we have a master list of what is done and what still needs high resolution scans? I have a scanner sitting here not doing much currently.

Anything you have will probably be of use somehow. If you have any of the games listed Here (http://club.ign.com/b/list/custom?&lid=100045&objt=1&grp1=20110&owner=SuperMegaMarioMan&mode=vown), those'll be of the most use to me. I also might buy a few of those DVD cases off you.

I just bought Gran Turismo ($1.00!) and my room mate has Xenogears so I scan those two up. I'll let you know when the cases arrive and we can work out some deal.

I have a handful of PS1 covers here that haven't been converted yet, but I have an ancient scanner and no editing abilities. I'd be willing to send them out if you (or anyone else for that matter) has the desire and ability to scan and convert them. What I have:
Mortal Kombat: Mythologies
Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
Iron Man/X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
Power Rangers Time Force
Let me know if anyone wants to take these cases, as it's the best I can do to contribute to the cause.

So, I am trying to scan Xenogears (Gran Turismo actually only has the manual) and I am setting the scanner to 300 DPI but the images come out with that ugly dotty pattern because of how it is printed I guess. There is a auto filter for magazine type scans, but it makes the image really soft, could be called blurry. Auto sharpness enhance doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Any tips to try? I am using a Lexmark X8350

Try scanning at 600dpi with the filter on. It probably won't look as blurry when reduced to 300 that way.
AkumaHau did a beautiful job on the Rival Schools box.

Still need to add/change the small stuff, but I'll do that later.
Nice! Now, why not try Street Fighter Collection :bouncy:
Also, do you use photoshop, and what do you think about my A-Train cover a few pages back? Keep in mind I have to use MS Paint 8-)

I could probably Street Fighter Collection. There's a ton of SF2 artwork out there, so it shouldn't be hard.
And the A-Train cover isn't too bad. It could definitely use some cleaning up, but I like the direction you were going with it.

@rival schools, any reason why the logo isn't centered? i think it might look a tad better with it centered, just a thought.
I found a huge, beautiful piece of Castlevania: SOTN artwork that I know I had to turn into a cover. Soo, another BETA ready. Like Rival Schools, it's done for the most part. Just need to add/change the little things that are a lot less fun to do than the big stuff...
EDIT: It's done.

Please dont forget that Alpha 2 Gold is part of Street Fighter Collection, IMO the art from Alpha 2 is superior to Street Fighter II.... btw do you use photoshop? I find it a bit hard to work with MS paint. Here are two of my other custom covers though, all made with MS Paint:
