        Wow dude. That's awesome. Did you make that? I'd be honored to feature your work in the set if you did.

        I wanted to get as close as possible to the originals I posted, but I really love what you did there. I agree with @darknior that the "Pirate Series" logo is great.

        I'm going replace the old one from my collection tonight and add that for any games that need it. Right now, 46 out of the 60 Pirate games in the collection are without actual covers, so you just upgraded the Box Art for 46 games. :)

        Thanks again!

        EDIT:

        I just added them and realized that I also had 7 Pirate carts that have been translated as well, so unless I add more games that single box just upgraded 53 boxes in the set. :)

              @chelochelini2014 Awesome man! These are excellent!

              One thing though... Could you change the "Pirate Series" for the Prototype image? I wonder what a "Prototype Series" icon should look like?

              It's fine for the Pirate Fighting games since they're Pirates that I just split off into a different category because there are so many VS Fighters that came out of China.

              Maybe for the Unlicensed box the "Unlicensed Series" icon could be a sillohette of a drivers license with the "no smoking"/"ghostbusters" sign around it? :)

              I'll let you know how many games these upgrade when I integrate them. I might not be able to do that until tomorrow, but know that this work is greatly appreciated!

                @chelochelini2014 great work :)
                If you use Photoshop, how to you do to enlarge your little NES image, without smooth and with all the pixel perfect and square ?
                I search for this option.

                  @chelochelini2014 I integrated the Pirate Fighting boxes for another 18 games upgraded. A total of 71 games with two boxes so far. I'm likely adding another 18 Pirates and 4 more Pirate Fighters as long as they work after testing so that total will be up to 89 games if I can't find any legit box artwork for them!

                  Thanks again man. I hope you don't mind doing a few more. These look so great.

                    @darknior you have to change at image menu - the mode- to indexed color mode, but when you save as jpg you lose the index quality because is a mode to work with png pics. anyway is good trick to create or convert pics as pixelated image

                        @chelochelini2014 Hey bud. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be away from the computer quite a bit in the next week or two, so if you get around to making any more of those boxes don't think that I'm ignoring you. Totally looking forward to seeing anything else you make!

                        Take it easy and thanks again.

                        EDIT: OH! I just noticed that you re-did the prototype with the "Prototype Series". I'm going to add those to the collection before I go to bed. I'd give you another rep point, but I can't do it twice for the same post. :)

                            @chelochelini2014 Awesome work again bud. Once I put this in the set I'll give you a count of how many times these you've done so far are used. Needed quite a few for the Unlicensed games, so the count for all 4 so far should be well over 100. :)

                            Thanks again!

                            EDIT: Just did a count of all of the games upgraded with your new boxes and my total so far is 106 :)

                                @chelochelini2014 Awesome work man. Amazing as always. Thank you so much. :)

                                I just went through everything and all generic NES covers are now accounted for. If you had a chance, I hope you might find the time to create the FDS ones. These are the ones we have now:

                                Adult Games:
                                alt text

                                Famimaga Series Games:

                                alt text

                                BTW... I forgot to add this one, but I just went ahead and upgraded it myself since it was a simple thing I could handle :)

                                VS Arcade Games:
                                alt text

                                    @chelochelini2014 No problem man. Whenever you have the time. :)

                                    I'm going to be away for a while again, so I'll message you back if you get to them before I'm here. I'm still going to be adding some more games to the collection and most of them are going to use those covers you made. I'm figuring that about 150 of them will have your boxes when I'm done.

                                    @darknior

                                    Hey bud. I think sometime next week I'd like to start integrating your awesome boxart into the set as well. I've been putting that off since it's going to be a big project and I've had so many other things I've been working on, plus it seemed like you were still in the middle of making a lot of the images.

                                    I had two questions for you.

                                    1. Could you give me a package of the NES/Famicom boxes you did in a zipfile so I don't have to individually scroll down and save them all here?

                                    2. Are you doing any requests? On my spreadsheet I have all of the large good quality images in black. The ones that are medium sized show the dimensions in 'ORANGE/BOLD` and the ones that are either really small and/or have some watermarks or pricetags or other defects are in RED/BOLD.

                                    There's only a few that are red... probably less than 10 of the 2,000 games. I was hoping that maybe you might be able to make some awesome images for those. It will pretty much be perfect for boxarts at that point, since the ORANGE/BOLD images are good and are really just noted as being smaller than I'd like them to be for the future of emulaton and larger TV screens.

                                    Thanks again guys. Have a good weekend if I don't see you by then.

                                      Arg i don't to tell you no, but not for the moment.
                                      I must finish my NES set first.
                                      Today i finish the DAPHNE one, and i work also on SCUMMVM and i must also made some stuff on SNES and SMS and GENESIS and N64 because we have finish all theses best of ... i don't have the time for the moment.
                                      But maybe your games are also on my set and will come with my new covers i must made quickly.

                                        No worries. I'm in no huge hurry man. I'm still a LONG way away from even being close to a full NES release. Tons of things to do first, including making about 500 videos for new translations, hacks, pirates and others that weren't in teh Rx1.0 set (and possibly just re-doing all of them in HD with a uniform volume and a standard length in an "attract mode" arcade style format.

                                        Hope I don't come off as rushing anybody on any of this. I just get excited about ideas all over the place and throw things out there while I'm thinking about them. There's no way this work will be done before the year is over on my end. I'm hoping for a full NES release some time by next summer. :)

                                          I do the same lol ... so bad we are making the same work :(
                                          We lost many time for nothing ...
                                          We really must work together, a best of pack is compatible with a full pack project !
                                          It's like if we made the top list of your full list, but we use same covers, videos, etc ...
                                          And we can have a full size covers directory, and a resize one smaller for 1080p max resolution.
                                          We have all our stuff in full size before i downscale it, and we don't use it ;)
