Hi Guys

I've noticed that in most titles.txt and on almost all cover sites that the RMPE54 and RL8E54 both are listed as MLB Power Pros 2008

RMPE54 is not 2008 but 2007 and should have a different cover image
Not sure the what the rules are for this site and posted links to other sites but the correct image that should be used can be found here
hxxp ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLB_Power_Pros

If someone could make a 3d cover using this image it would be greatly appreciated

one suggestion i have is to allow for alternate boxarts, for the games that have them (Okami and the New Play Control or Wii Play Control series come to mind)... some of us prefer the alternate box arts (aka without the borders, or without the ign logo

)
other than that, great job on the site and collection!

EDIT: Also, the cover art for Pikmin is not correct for NTSC-U. I have a proper boxart for it if you'd like to upload it (only the Alternate, non-bordered version though). Just let me know!

Any covers that are seen to be incorrect can be overwritten - just do a normal upload and it will say the box is already there and give you an option to send it to a moderator. You can explain why you want a change and a moderator will approve or reject the request fairly soon.
Ive done it this way so that everyone can help out and upload , but anyone messing about gets weeded out in the moderation process.

Massive thanks to whoever spent time uploading 58 or so more full covers - ill mod a few of them now so they should be on the site shortly.
Keep the full covers coming

Same goes for you - just make the new cover and upload it and a moderator will approve the new image - you can explain about the name in the comments and that can be fixed as well if its incorrect.

 

[MJMan]

Well, what about an alternate image slot for some of the games? possible? or would that make it too cluttered?

I wish I could. My photoshop skills do not exist

edit - I've found the correct image already on the site $$ RMPE00 has the right image for RMPE54 with the 3d boxart
I have resent the boxart to be moderated but there was no place to upload the 3d image

3D images are only uploadable by NeoRame - its to try to keep some order for that section as he is excellent with images in general.
I had 1 image for RMPE54 but it was corrupt so i kept the site image instead.

Ill check later , but can someone confirm the ID of the image thats in there now for that ?

Whomever is uploading the full covers... can you please upload them in a higher resolution/size? Or do you have them available elsewhere?

 

[djbubba2002]

[BlindDude]

i have been upping the pack bubba sent me and have had to resize some to get under the 2megs limit but have not gone under 1000pixels on the wide side.

The covers are uploaded at a really large size , but the site resizes the covers on the fly for the loader that they are developed for.
The uploaded images are JPG , but the site returns PNG files at the size required by Hibers loader which is who asked me to put them on there.
If people want larger images then i expect 2 things - 1 would be a donation for the bandwidth usage on the site as its up to 900 gigs a month now , and second would be a reason they want the larger covers - if its personal im not interested , if its project based id like to see more and what its about and i may do something for them.

Thanks a million bubba , and of course blinddude for upping them all - There was a load of covers on the site this morning waiting to be moderated when i looked.
Hopefully people will break out their scanners and scan some missing covers and help us all out.

One they are all up we will also need people to let us know what covers are incorrect - theres always going to be incorrect covers , but we have to start somewhere.

Mario Power Tennis shows a pal cover under the ntsc section. Also Pikmin is different under the ntsc section like MJMan said. Can you replace the original cover, the 3D one and the full cover for mario tennis and replace the Pikmin original and 3D cover? You could use the ones that are here and crop them.

 

[djbubba2002]

BlindDude & djtaz I dont know how to resize them .. I hope you guys can , i will upload the covers then , you guys can put them on the site .. Enjoy more to come

wooooot !!
there is a huge number of covers in HD on this site !!

 

[djtaz]

Yeah we found that sites ages back but the problem is having to rename the images to the Game ID which can be very time consuming as no loader can use them with the name format they have.

Great for printing covers , useless for loaders.

 

[djbubba2002]

Thanks DJbubba - your a great resource for these covers.

 

[Pakatus]

Do we need to rename them?
I'm currently sending covers to your site...using the (+) button.

Does it need to have the id.png as name?
