@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.Life is game, just play it !

@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. :)
-
is the time, you know my friend, i take some of my free time to check the forum and do this things
-
@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:
Famimaga Series Games:
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:
-
just give me a few days because i need to do another template on illustrator to do the new covers.
-
@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.
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.
-
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?
-
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. -

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 ;)My last finished system : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/13440/my-created-daphne-covers-for-not-use-flyers/17
Life is game, just play it !

enjoy man, but maybe you need a big sd card http://www.thecoverproject.net/index.php you can donwload tonts of covers at the same time using the donw them all plugin to firefox , you can find a guide to use, i used this tools to rip some page years ago XD

Yes. It is a shame we have both doubled up on so much work man. I'm glad I learned how to do a lot of the things I did in Paint.NET, and a lot of the things I did will still be usable because they were not games you're going to add and/or they were a lot of cart/disk images that I don't think you guys are concerned with using in your sets. But I've seen at least 30 boxes here that you've done for Japan games that are way better than what I can do with my limited skills. It pains me to remove the stuff that I worked on, but if we both did a box art I'm going to be using yours because you're so obviously more talented than me at the artwork stuff.
About videos... Have you done any yet? I'm hoping that you haven't. I would like to talk with you about doing them all in the same manner before we start. I'm open to suggestions if you have any better ideas, but I want a few main things when creating them.
- Uniform sound/music volume levels on every game.
- Equal length for every video. (I was thinking somewhere between 20-30 seconds would be the sweet spot.
- An arcade-style "Attract Mode" to the videos. Basically a 15-20 second clip of action from the game followed by a 5-10 second title sequence.
For the attract mode, it would always be action and not the boring text talking you see in a lot of RPG game videos today. Also, I would want it to look like whoever was playing the game actually cared about playing it. Too many videos I've seen have the people mindlessly dying in them because they really don't care when making the videos. Finally, we'd have to decide if we wanted some sort of fade between the action and title sequences to the videos.
Whatever we choose, I would want that to be the exact format for every single video we made.
I originally thought I'd have to do all of them myself to keep consistancy, but if you and gilles and waal are down to collaborate on it we could work out a few kinks at the beginning and make sure that we're all on the same page before we start making them. It would sure save me tons of time if you were eager to do it at least for the "best of" collection that would be about 1/4 of the games in my collection.
Let me know what you think about it :)

@used2berx Yes i have already made some videos :)
I have made them for the 8 systems we have finish.
SNES, NES, GENESIS, MASTER SYSTEM, NEC CD, NEC Supergrafx, 3DO, DAPHNE.I take all the EMUMOVIES video they already made, and complete with our games they don't have.
Like them i made 640x480 video.
I capture the game video in real size and full screen without black bar, and scale it to 640x480 and compress it in MP4.
If i don't know the game, i play a little before recording video, to not die and have some skill ;)
All videos have same sound too.I think we are agree for all, except one thing !
I don't make the fade at the end with title 5sec.
All my videos are 32 sec, the PI player made a little 1 sec fade at start and end.
Adding the tital will really take me so many time, and we think it is not important to see if a game is cool to play or not.Life is game, just play it !
