        Some news covers i made to have a better Cover set :)
        I use them to cover my Translated and Hack games, to not use the same cover two times ;)

        Adventures of Lolo (Japan) -> EggerLand in Japan, maybe the number two because it is different than the other Eggerland - Meikyuu no Fukkatsu (Japan) [T-En by Kapow v0.9]
        I completely invent the cover... impossible to understand how is the real one.

          As always, looking great man.

          I tend to use the exact same cover for a translation or hack in my packs as whatever the original game was based off of, myself. The only exceptions to that are if there are high quality fan art or official art made by the author of the hack in some cases.

          I'm glad you're liking some of my suggestions for games to add. I'll let you know if I come across more that you should add. I can't remember, do you have both of the D-Pad Hero and Battle Kid games in the set? Those should be added if you don't.

          It's kind of hard to make suggestions sometimes. It's all pretty subjective what makes a game worthwhile to add. That's why I'm making the collection I'm making that will have just about everything in it. I figure that way people could make their own decisions on what games are their own favorites. :)

          I figure as long as you have great boxart and Xtras to go along with them, sometimes all that extra work is more enjoyable than the games are.

          EDIT: I just found a must-have translation here that you've got to add. http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1032/

          They call it "Castlevania II English Re-translation (+Map)", but I'm calling it "Castlevania II: Ultimate Re-translation" in my collection.

          Check the site they link to on the patch page. It's a more in-depth look at the patch and it gives you the ability to download a patch in many different languages (including French), as well as allows you to select different options for the patch.

          The Angry Video Game Nerd would have loved this game if it played like this back in the day. The day to night palette fade instead of the text box was smooth and amazing.

            Yes you are real, it is enjoyable to work on Photoshop to make all this extra wirk :)

                    Hey darknoir

                    Did you actually try that Final Fantasy IV hack/translation?

                    I'm taking a look at it now and it doesn't look like much was done with it other than translating the characters names and the battle commands. Is that right?

                    Bummer if it is... I thought it was a full translation of the game.

                    I thought you might save me some time trying to patch it if you've already tried it out and could tell me if the story is translated or not.

                    EDIT: Add Tetris Zero if you don't have it.

                    You'll thank me later ;)

                      I understand, but the game is a .NES
                      And the patch are for NES version : http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1032/
                      It is strange ...

                      https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1306/

                      This hack fixes the poorly made battle sprites for the characters as well as translate the battle commands and character names.

                      No story, it is why i don't like it too.

                      https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1797/

                      This is a stupid two player hack ... it is an alternative battle game, there is no interest to use it :(

                      Easy to know if i have it now, make here a CTRL+F on my list and search :p
                      I don't have it ...

                      So cool your hack, i love it :)

                        Yeah... After I said that to you I actually had to look into it a bit more myself since I was figuring out what boxart I was going to use yesterday. Unlike a standard translation it uses the US rom. I guess that's why it's called a "re-translation" and it was in the hacks section instead of the translations section.

                        Yeah... bummer. I was excited about that one and couldn't figure out why you didn't like it. Then I noticed the no story too.... :(

                          @used2berx Here's another one. It looks like it's even better than the straight translation of Final Fantasy VII http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1657/

                                I've collected what I believe are the best quality images

                                Does these include any high res images of the Parodius series games ?
                                Also looking for high res City Connection cover.
                                In case, could you share them ?

                                    Was that all the games in the Parodius series?

                                    Let me know if there were more you were looking for, or if you had any trouble downloading them.

                                      That Parodius cover is really high quality; I'm tempted to create a vector version (when time allows).

                                      Was that all the games in the Parodius series?

                                      I really like the Parodius series, both the games and the funny artwork.
                                      There are many versions on different systems; you can see all covers and other info on this page on the Hardcoregaming101 website.

                                        @udb23 No problem man. Glad I could help out.

                                        When I put my spreadsheet out, you'll be able to see the resolution I'm working with for all of the boxes and carts. I'm just a few games shy of having 2,000 games for the NES and FDS now, and every single game has a box and cart image.

                                        I'm somewhat familiar with the Parodius series. I've done extensive testing for many different systems over the years, so I know it pops up on quite a few of them. I was just wondering if there were any more NES images that you were looking for in that series. I did a search for parodius and those were the only two that came up, but I thought maybe you knew of others that didn't have that in the title name.

                                            I found some good res cover scans of the Super Famicom Parodius games. They still need some restoration (added to my long long to do list..) but have good detail.
                                            If interested just let me know.
