Everdrive cover design

[Yakumo]

So, some of us lucky buggers will be getting an Everdrive cart soon but it will be without a case. Getting a new case isn't a problem though. I already have a few 100 yen JPN MD games bought from Hard Off ready for gutting. But what about the label? Well, that's where this thread comes in. Let's make a few designs for others to print out. I'm going to make one for Japanese MD carts but a few other designs would be nice.

[ASSEMbler]

Hmm good idea.Thing is, will it fit in a case? The board seems too big to fit.

[BM-Viper]

I think it'll fit in a normal megadrive case w/ a slot for the SD card cut out. At least Krikzzz page says so.

[f2bnp]

I used this one as a reference (only made it Everdrive, duh) http://eatonclublambs.com/images/overdrive_logo_ctqx.jpg and put it on the cartridge. Might upload a picture, it came out pretty nice, considering I suck big time drawing anything :P

[windjammer]

I quite like these ones which were used for one of Krikzz's previous efforts.

Not the best shots I could get but anyway. I might color it , but I don't know which color I should pick.

[windjammer]

Quick and nasty MS Paint job based upon Krikzz's old designs.

here we go with a first and far from complete version of my cartridge cover.

The colours still need to be fixed and logos added and so on.

yakumo, warp the design so that on the curving part on a md cart, the hole for the sd slot matches the cart slot on the graphic?

[link83]

I had the exact same thought! but the SD slot on the Everdrive is on the left, and the cartridge slot on the sticker would be on the right. You can see the SD slot position in relation to the casing in this sega-16 thread:-
http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11013

[Yakumo]

Yeah, I had the idea of using the cartridge slot for the SD but as link83 pointed out the SD slot is to far over. I'll add another card slot graphic just for the SD. Like I said, it's far from finished. I still need to bump out the actual console image to give it a more 3D look live the 16 bit text.

[hl718]

Replace "Mega" with "Ever." ;)

-hl718

[Yakumo]

Here you go. One Everdrive MD cartridge cover! The red areas are where you need to cut holes for the SD card and button. The ;abel is designed for use on Japanese Mega Drive carts and fits perfectly.

[Yakumo]

I finally finished my Ever Drive case today. Looks very nice if I do say so my self :)

Need to buy a new cheap Sunsoft game though for the case. The one I'm using is a bit damaged and dirty.

As you can see, the SD card is held nice and sung. No worrys about it sliding all over the case.

[f2bnp]

That's a great job there Yakumo!

[Codeman]

Thats so awesome Yakumo!

Anyone care for a PAL cover/label? I might give it a try as soon as I reinstall PS, I doubt I can make it half as cool as Yakumo's xD
Those sunsoft cases rock!

[Yakumo]

The Cartridge lable I made should fit on a PAL cart. You may need to trim the top a little though.

[Codeman]

I was talking about layout, not just the size!

I would love to create a full PAL insert, preferably one with the newer blue-spine layout

[vectrex_rox]

humm little spell error: FAVIORTE ;)

[Johnny]

Great work Yakumo!


humm little spell error: FAVIORTE ;)

Yakumo used some engrish to make it perfect! :lol:

[Greg2600]

Hope you don't mind, but I converted your label to befit us "Genesis" folks here in the USA.

[antinull]

how would one print a label like this to scale?

[Yakumo]

how would one print a label like this to scale?By using a quality printing software. I use photoshop but I'm sure MS Paint can print to scale.

[mdmx]

I finished my case for the Everdrive today. I used windjammer's label. I don't wanted to tinker with scissors and glue so I printed it on an old Inkjet floppy disk label paper. The floppy disk label is just a bit smaller than the label of a Mega Drive cartridge.

http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6151/everdrivecoverandlabel.jpg (http://img707.imageshack.us/i/everdrivecoverandlabel.jpg/)

[antinull]

I have created and printed my own labels
let me know what you think
the pause button is so flush under the label, you just press the red dot and it works :P


the cut on this one was pretty rough i have cleaned it up with a new label

[Yakumo]

I like it. Very nice!

[Rabid Peanut-Butter]

Oh wow, great work Antinull.

[klargon]

Been messing around with some sprites to make my own label. Still some way off finding something simple that works, but here are a couple of examples.

http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3727/gunstar.png http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7476/ristar.png

[Yakumo]

I like the idea of using game sprites. Looking forward to seeing what it's like when finished.

[cyrix]

For the guys who are just poking holes for the CF card I'd suggest cutting a |---| shape where the slot is so you can just fold them under onto the insides. Would look a little better.

[klargon]

Took far too long to say it ended up decidedly mediocre, but I like the creative talent to make something decent out of it. Here's my label design. I'll hopefully stick it on the cart some point over the weekend

[Treamcaster]

Great stuff guys, keep it up!! It's also making me want a MD and a flash cart =O :D

[Greg2600]

FINALLY I finished my classic style Genesis/Ever Drive Label!

This is mine, for the PAL dudes. Please keep in mind this is a WIP. Will post it when finished, along with the newer, blue-style version.

Let me know your thoughts about it.

[antinull]

The label paper i used does not like to stick to the cart plastic
does anyone have a suggestion for better paper?

[Johnny]

Very nice covers.

By the way, why EA games had a differently shaped cartridge? (at least in USA). Here in Brazil, since all games were manufactured by Tectoy, all EA games had normal MegaDrive/Genesis cartridge shape. But was commom to see those EA carts at games stores / rental places.

I think Accolade and Codemasters had different shapes as well.

[aleomark]

Hi, I've done one for snes super everdrive, here it's

http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/5268/35677.jpg

[eugene19]

I see many US Genesis and EU Megadrive lables and case design for the Everdrive,
but I could not find any with Japanese Megadrive design,
so I made one myself.

I hope you like it :redface:
All character artwork except for Comix Zone,
was taken from actual scans of games popular in Japan that I have.
SD slot is customized by me so that it doesn't disturb the Megadrive design.
I put a new "Push in"/"Push out" SD slot in the back.


description:
1. Case Cover
-Front top: "Rent A Hero"
-Front bottom: "Comix Zone"
-Next to title: "Ristar"

-Spine: "Sonic the Hedgehog"

-Back top: Arlu and Lara from "Madoh Monogatari I"
-Back bottom: Red and Blue from "Gunstar Hero"
-Screenshot top: "After Burner II"
-Screenshot bottom: "Shinobi"
-Background art: SA-77 from MEGA-CD game "SILPHEED"

The comment in red "FOR MEGADRIVERS CUSTOM"
is taken from "Alien Soldier".
In green letters it says "We hope SEGA will come back" or similar.
In small gray letters it says "We don't need to blow breath at our carts any more!,
Everdrive will hold all the games that you ever wished in to one".
It is a famous fact in Japan that little kids blow at there carts to get them to work ;-)

2. Cart Lable
-Sonic and Tails from "Sonic the Hedgehog 2"
-Arlu from "Madoh Monogatari I"
-Tiki from "New Zealand Story"

Sorry my native language is Japanese, so my English is not so good.
Maybe my translations are not perfect,
but if someone likes this artwork I am happy :cur_sonic:

[Eke]

I love it, the best looking one so far in my opinion. Well-balanced design.
Thank you for sharing.

[MasterOfPuppets]

Took this one from Stone Age Gamer and did a little Photoshop work to it. Yes, it's small but it's the correct size and looks fine when printed out..

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn99/RulerOfPuppets/SuperEverdrive.jpg

[raylyd]

Could some one sell me a sticker for my ever drive please thanks.

[eugene19]

You can find A4 size stickers that you can print on, then cut manually with some paper cutter easily at some electronic stores.
At least that was the case for me in Japan.
Cutting was easy, I did it in 5 minutes :)

[DC_Lov]

Hi , eugene19! I also have a Japanese MD1 and MD cart so can I get your Sticker design? I really love it!

[eugene19]

Sure, here is the link to the JPEG files for the case cover and cart label.
If anyone wants it in different file format please inform me.

[DC_Lov]

Thanks a bunch man!

[eugene19]

Hope you enjoy,
Cheers

[ave]

Yeah, thanks a lot for uploading your design. I really like it and it will blend in perfectly with my jpn-only MD-collection.

How did you change the SD slot? Did you take a picture of the board after the new slot was set up? Personally I would rather not fuck around with the PCB, so I'll probably leave it just like it is although your cart looks really nice now with the centered slot.

[eugene19]

I'm glad you like the design :)
As for the SD slot, I didn't change anything on the PCB.
What I did is to make a sort of SD slot extension.

1. cut micro SD adapter in half.
2. solder the pins to cables where usually a micro SD card would be.
3. solder the other end of the cables to a new SD card slot (I bought for 140 yen / US$1.40).
4. using a glue gun (hot glue), I glued the new SD card slot directly to the JP megadrive cart.

All this method is not my idea, it is originally done by someone I found through random googling.
So all the credits for centering the SD slot goes to this person.
You can find detailed photos of this in the below link.

[RetroRepair]

Very nicely done, think I'll have to do this for both my Sega and Super Everdrives, gotta love those spring loaded slots! :)

[analogmonkey]

Any idea where you can get the sd card slots cheap in the uk? Looked on ebay seller wants £5 for delivery! There is a psp one but it has 10 pins, and 9 seems to be the standard.

Is there any reason to take the sd card out much if you loads all the roms on?

may be cheap cardreader as donnor?

[eugene19]

I have no idea where you can get them in the UK.
I always buy my electric parts in Tokyo Akihabara or at the below online store of Akizuki Denshi.
Maybe they ship international, but I'm not sure...
If you want me to read the website, please let me know.

Krikzz - Yeah good idea was looking at some cheap ones on ebay.

eugene19- thanks for the info, i'll try and sort one locally or hack up a card reader like krikzz suggested.

[MasterOfPuppets]

Here's my case for my Super EverDrive, all I need is the EverDrive itself now!

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn99/RulerOfPuppets/DSCF0640.jpg

[StoneAgeGamer]

MasterOfPuppets where did you get that label?

That logo was designed by me and I don't remember giving people permission to use it for their own labels.

If someone sold this to you I would like to know who they are. If you made it yourself I ask you not to distribute it.

Not trying to be a jerk, but I work hard on this stuff and I don't appreciate people taking it for their own profit or use without my permission.

[StoneAgeGamer]

BTW, just to be clear I obviously can't stop you from making your own for private use. However, I do not want anyone selling these or giving them away, that is my main concern.

[MasterOfPuppets]

I made it myself (not the logo of course). I was searching for "Super EverDrive" and a forum came up that had the logo as an attachment.

I completely understand, I have no intentions of giving it out. And if anyone asks where to get one, I'll send them to your site.

Does someone have done a super everdrive insert for universal cases? and that he/she could share it.

[goombakid]

I've read through, but dunno exactly what type of paper everyone is using to make the labels. Is there one available with adhesive backing that someone can recommend?

Also, anyone made a Super Everdrive label to fit on a Super Famicom cart?

[aleomark]

I used adhesive glossy paper, it needs to be glossy cause mate doesn't looks good, the only thing is that it's to delicate, so any scrape can mess your label.

And for the inserts I go to a printing house and pay for a digital printing, but you can have the same result if you've a laser print and using couche paper.

[StoneAgeGamer]

Does someone have done a super everdrive insert for universal cases? and that he/she could share it.

If you plan on making an insert that fits perfectly the universal cases we use for the Deluxe you need an insert size of 7 1/16" x 11 3/16" for a good fit.

So technically the regular size piece of paper will be slightly not long enough. However if you don't care about that last 3/16th of an inch a regular piece of paper would work.

[aleomark]

Thanks man, I'm not so skillful for design one of my own but maybe I'll try, or ask help from a friend

Thanks man, I'm not so skillful for design one of my own but maybe I'll try, or ask help from a friend

Are you looking for EverDrive-MD insert or Super EverDrive insert?

If you are looking for a EverDrive-MD you can order one of our Genesis-sized inserts (on sale for $2.99+free shipping) and just put in the comments section of the order that you are aleomark from Assembler forums and to give you a universal-sized one instead.

The reason they are on sale is because we have redesigned the insert and label for EverDrive-MD slightly and are just trying to get rid of old design.

If you are looking for Super EverDrive insert we can sell you that one too, but it would be more expensive. If you are interested in this version PM me.

Our inserts are high quality professionally printed. I am assuming you are using the same universal cases we are.

[aleomark]

All right. PM sent, I'm looking for a Super Everdrive insert, cause there's no one there, also will be better if I buy a case from you too cause I'm out and for to be 100% sure that it would fix, I don't need an insert for MD Everdrive, but feel free if you want to include it and I'll take the pics with your insert for my next MD Everdrive review and I would redirect people to your site if they look for Everdrive covers.

I think Accolade and Codemasters had different shapes as well.

I know this was asked a long time ago, and I'm sure we've covered it before, but in case you're still wondering...

Sega licensed the games. That included the shells. If you wanted a game, you had to pay Sega for the blanks. EA turned around and said, "Sod that! We'll make our own and save money!" So they did. Of course, they couldn't make them look the same, or they'd get sued.

[jensrobot]

hai all. great stuff!
Gonna go with Eugenes. THANKS!

I also really liked yakumo's idea, but am i the only one that cant get my eyes away from the mspaint style grey/black paint brush strokes in background? i don't meen to be rude, it's usually a monitor contrast/brightnes thing, but even the photo of the final case shows it... clearly.

Anyways thanks all

I'm working on a Master Everdrive cart label (http://www.gamepilgrimage.com/sites/default/files/Miscmovies/SMS_EverDrive_Cart_Label.png) (link here!). Here's the concept design, it's 1200 dpi but the dimensions should be right. I don't know where else to go with it as the original Western carts aren't all that fancy.

There's no need for a flash card slot on the label because it comes out the back piece of the cart case. I added a top label that should just fit and allow me to leave the cart without a case on one of my Sega shelves. I might go hog wild with sprite art, or I might not.

I was initially inspired by antinull's design (on page 2) for the MD cart, then continued it over the the SNES box design. I went with a landscape box for the SNES to be more in-keeping to the originals. The cart labels are printed on sticky-back glossy photo paper.

My Everdrive....No I didn't design the cover.

[aleomark]

we still don't have game gear everdrive label, didn't note before

[derekb]

it would be nice if someone posted all the print dimensions for the various labels

[angelwolf71885]

it would be nice if someone posted all the print dimensions for the various labels

or you could take a piece of twine or string and measure the outside of a n64 label spot

same for all other carts just measure the label spot

[sanni]

N64 is 6,2cm (height) x 5,4cm

[veganx]

It would be nice a cover design for the box of the master everdrive.

[aleomark]

I think these front part of the cover is kind of too simple, mabe later I'll update the front part

Cover for SMS everdrive:

I recommend to use it with Sheat's label:

WOW THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! =DDDD

can you share the photoshop file ?
I think it would be nice to have a square box around the text on the back =))

edit: you should leave the lines around the text, or put the text in another color.
but good work :)

I just did a quick changes to make it more visible, right now it's the exact design used for "great Baseball" just with sms everdrive info, I know is strange it doesn't have a text box, but I prefer to leave as they used to be.

I Made a cover for snes everdrive:

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8940/67787200.jpg (http://bo-anime.com/sousuke/CASESNES.jpg)

BTW I Fixed the old SNES label, now it does says "everdRive"

And for Everdrive MD too

http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6653/casegenesis.jpg (http://bo-anime.com/sousuke/CASEGENESIS.jpg)

I recommend using the label by eugene 19 is really cool, I modded the name for USA Sega Genesis:

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/7870/57528204.jpg (http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/7301/labelsg74x67cm.jpg)
If you're using windows 7 maybe when you open eugene's label you'll see a black background, don't worry is a windows thing, just open it with a program besides browsers or the included picture viewer

[Teancum]

Wow Aleomark your covers get better and better as you go along keep up the good work!

[zodiac1968]

This might just be me nitpicking, but on your super everdrive box cover, you've got a screenshot of yoshi's island. This is one of the few games NOT playable on the cart. ;)

[aleomark]

mm you're right I'll change it, also added one cover for gg everdrive in the old post with ggeverdrive label

[veganx]

Nice one aleomark =))))

I've bought the game gear everdrive but I still don't have the game gear or a cartridge to mod so I won't be able to reproduce your cover in a real life but I'll do it with the master everdrive and take a picture to show my appreciation :))

But, I must insist, I'm not going to steal your work, honestly, I don't post about everdrive anywhere else on the internet so, can you please, share the photoshop file for personal modification ?

[aleomark]

you can download free templates on thecoverproject.net

I had complete forgot about this website =)))

Thank you very much.

Hello forums,

today I had enough spare time, so here is my attempt to create a cartridge label for the everdrive md.

The design is quite minimalistic:

But when you turn power on the little guy on the label gets really angry and his eyes flash up:

N64 is 6,2cm (height) x 5,4cm

So N64 label is 6.2cm height x 5.4cm width. Genesis is 6.82cm height x 7.49cm width.

What's the size Super Famicom and SNES labels (since they must slightly differ from each others)?

[batroxsunrise]

My cartridge came with the cover of Eugene, then I made ​​the cover art to go in conjunction with the cartridge. The text is 100% mine (Spanish), I hope you like it.

I would appreciate it if you give me a PM in the case that you want to use this design for something. Thanks!


I see many US Genesis and EU Megadrive lables and case design for the Everdrive,
but I could not find any with Japanese Megadrive design,
so I made one myself.

I hope you like it :redface:
All character artwork except for Comix Zone,
was taken from actual scans of games popular in Japan that I have.
SD slot is customized by me so that it doesn't disturb the Megadrive design.
I put a new "Push in"/"Push out" SD slot in the back.


description:
1. Case Cover
-Front top: "Rent A Hero"
-Front bottom: "Comix Zone"
-Next to title: "Ristar"

-Spine: "Sonic the Hedgehog"

-Back top: Arlu and Lara from "Madoh Monogatari I"
-Back bottom: Red and Blue from "Gunstar Hero"
-Screenshot top: "After Burner II"
-Screenshot bottom: "Shinobi"
-Background art: SA-77 from MEGA-CD game "SILPHEED"

The comment in red "FOR MEGADRIVERS CUSTOM"
is taken from "Alien Soldier".
In green letters it says "We hope SEGA will come back" or similar.
In small gray letters it says "We don't need to blow breath at our carts any more!,
Everdrive will hold all the games that you ever wished in to one".
It is a famous fact in Japan that little kids blow at there carts to get them to work ;-)

2. Cart Lable
-Sonic and Tails from "Sonic the Hedgehog 2"
-Arlu from "Madoh Monogatari I"
-Tiki from "New Zealand Story"

Sorry my native language is Japanese, so my English is not so good.
Maybe my translations are not perfect,
but if someone likes this artwork I am happy :cur_sonic:

I decided to take a shot at an Ultra 64 style cart label myself and it took a little longer than I wanted it to. I'm not entirely satisfied but here it is.

I love the Krikzz seal of quality.

[dragonstrap]

My Everdrive 64, Super Everdrive and Everdrive MD stickers. I don't have the image files with me and it's slightly possible that they're lost forever (broken hard drive) but I'll try to find them if anyone wants them.

I don't like the Everdrive being so big so my labels focus on the consoles themselves, with only a small Everdrive mention at the bottom. Seeing as Megadrive is backwards compatible I also added Master System to the label. The Super Everdrive has the SD card insert backwards so this was the motivation for the little SD icons on all my labels, it also indicates whether or not SDHC is supported. Finally, the N64 logo colors don't line up perfectly, this is due to a problem with my printer and Ican't be bothered fixing the alignment / reprinting.

I'm especially pleased with my "Unofficial Nintendo Seal of Quality" ;)

[probotector]

boah, those are awesome @dragonstrap (http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/member.php?u=63247)! shame they're lost forever :(

[dragonstrap]

boah, those are awesome @dragonstrap (http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/member.php?u=63247)! shame they're lost forever :(
I copied them into a Word document for accurate printing, there's a chance I still have that document around somewhere - I'll look into it :)

[pablomaldito]

I haven't found any Super Famicom themed labels, so I made a simple label with colors inspired by Seiken Densetsu 3.
(edit: replaced with most recent version)
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c121/pablomaldito/Super%20Everdrive/SuperEverdriveSK3test.jpg

And going in the total opposite direction of the simple label is this one I made by slapping some logos & text on a nintendo montage wallpaper

Heh heh, quickly threw that one together, using that image cuz it was a Nintendo montage that easily fit within SFC label dimensions. I also made a typo on the katakana for "super" (should have been スーパー, not スーパ ). I ended choosing the less busy Seiken Densetsu 3 style.

[dragonstrap]

Late response, but I was able to find the covers again ^_^

I think since making them Igor has added SDHC support to the Everdrive MD (possibly the SNES one too?) so you could cut and paste that part of the cover over from the N64 one.

Free for personal use but don't go slapping them on everdrives and then selling them please.

[probotector]

I can't help you too much, but these back labels are custom. We had to get a custom die made for these labels. You may be able to find a avery label that's close I am unsure.

[sdekaar]

don't post your cover in jpeg format.
it just ugly for printing.:hororr:

[YAGRS]

How is the jpeg format "ugly for printing"? Many stock imagery companies supply their images in jpeg format for both Web and print design. It wouldn't be very easy to do sell these images if jpegs were unsuitable for print production.

There may be other issues that perhaps you're associating with jpegs. For one, if the image will be printed, it should be saved with a very low level of compression. Also, because many jpegs are intended for the Web, they are saved in RGB, which has a color space that is outside the range of printers (switching the image to CMYK will give you a better idea of how the colors will look when printed, but this can still be quite different, due to a lack of color calibration). Finally, jpegs are often saved at 72 ppi (again, because they are often intended for the Web), and the standard for images going to print is 300 ppi.

So, your issue isn't likely with jpegs, but with the way those jpegs were created.

Just like with the MD, I've spent way too long working on the label for the SNES. This time I worked completely in vector with illustrator. Working on some colour variations and general tidying, and I might throw some sprites in, but I've done about as much as I can be bothered to. It's for a PAL cart, if it wasn't obvious. Now onto the N64...

Please respect the amount of time and effort taken and my ownership of the design, and only use the images for personal use.

EDIT - Few random sprites sporadically thrown in:

[sdekaar]

i have a idea with snin/sfamicom logo.
maybe it's possible to put the led of the sd2snes in the logo.

[spoonTRex]

Here's how my artwork for my EverDrive64 turned out. I toyed around with a bunch of ideas before settling on this one, that is based on Super Mario Galaxy, so, not exactly in line with the appropriate generation, but I'm happy with it, and happy to share my artwork with anyone that wants to use it. I can also upload PSD files somewhere if anyone's interested. Also, these are all 300dpi, so perfect for printing.

I saw a logo for KRIKzz on everdrive.us, and so I recreated it in Illustrator to use on my labels. I hope that's alright. Otherwise, I'll remove it from these one's that I've put up here.

I also messed up my black cart, so I have another coming soon. (Yeah, I originally installed the board backwards and cut the SD slot out of the wrong side of the shell. Whoops.)

The sum of today's work on an ED64 label. No points for guessing which label it's based on. It's odd - the work on the Nintendo labels only serves to identify how inconsistent the layout of the core elements (the logos, serial numbers, etc...) is. I know they look a bit messy on my designs, but I measure the position and size from the original.

Looks Awesome!!

Please upload the PSD files!! I want to change the size of the SD Card because mine is 8GB

And here's my rear label if anyone like it:

Thank You!!

[spoonTRex]

I put together the PSD files for the front label and the SD label. I also included the font that I used to make the "16 GB" on the label. Most layers should be (hopefully) labeled and clear enough to see what's going on. Any way, enjoy!

Hey i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on printing out spoonTRexs labels. Ive attempted to print out both the front and back labels he provided but they always come out way to big and im having trouble getting the print out at exactly the right size. I was hoping to get some advice here before i waste anymore ink. Thanks in advance for any help!

[xan_racketBOY_fan]

N64 is 6,2cm (height) x 5,4cm
Found this a few pages back. The first page should be updated to list various measurements for the different carts.

[xan_racketBOY_fan]

I just got my universal game case and decided to create a nice sleeve to compliment spoonTRex's beautiful EVERDRIVE64 cartridge label. Threw in sanni's neat Seal of Quality for good measure.

Sorry I missed this. These labels are 300dpi, but, it's possible when you save them straight off the site, here, they are saved as 72dpi. Use photoshop or the gimp to get the labels back to 300dpi with the same width and height they currently have and you should be good. :)

Hi,

I signed up to the forum to contribute to this thread. I've been practicing the art of label making for my Everdrive 64 & Mega Everdrive. Here's one for N64 I based off 8bitplus', which I liked, but I prefer it to be simpler looking so I took out the starfield and lines in the background and used all vector logos and fonts then exported it to 300 dpi lossless png for good printing.

4511

This one's a bit of a work in progress for Mega Everdrive. I use MicroSD so I don't have an SD card slot and my reset switch punches right through the top letters, but thought I would post it to share ideas and get some feedback. The main image is a screenshot of the Sonic title screen from an emulator that can turn off the layers of text that cover it. Suggestions for improvements to the design are welcome :) I need to reprint this one.

[gamefan1984]

Since I haven't seen anything for the turbo everdrive, I decided to make my own. I made them large and scaled them down to keep the image quality. I believe you'll want to scale the cover down to 62% and the label down to 32% for printing.

I hope this is okay to post in here, since this is an Everdrive thread, but I just got my SD2SNES and am excited to show off and share my artwork (in case anyone else is interested in using it).

First, here's the family shot, Universal Game Case insert, Front & Back. I used a Charcoal Vinyl Die for the color. I also opted not to cut the top of the cart, which meant cleanly removing the USB (that at this time isn't being used), and reducing the height of the SD socket. I'm also using these fantastic microSD adapters (http://www.theminidrive.com/) that I'd highly recommend for anyone looking to do the same with any of their EverDrives (look at the end of my post, I redid my ED64). Quick review: I bought the three for $50 option, and 2 out of the 3 worked. I had great communication with the guy making these, and he's sending out a replacement all on his own! Fantastic customer service, and the two that do work are exactly what I needed.

5993

For anyone interested in the labels, here are the labels at 300 dpi. I've got three versions: The SNES-style without Nintendo Logos (for those who wished to avoid those, like I did for some reason), SNES-Style with SNES & Nintendo Seal on label, and a full label with no SNES-style whatsoever.

The Super Nintendo is my favorite system of all time (don't tell my PS1 or PS2 that), despite never having one growing up. I snuck over to friends houses all the time to play the system (my parents were very much against "Nintendos", which they've now gotten over and even own their own Wii). I wanted to create a label that showed the breadth of the catalog and the amazing titles on the system—most of which I discovered via emulation well after the 16-bit generation was over—without drawing the attention to them, and keep the focus on the name of the cart itself. Hence, emblems for Mario, Zelda, Metroid and more were used to hint at the potential of the cartridge. And, after some time playing around with concepts, I opted to drop any attention being drawn to an SD card itself. There are others out there designing that way, and they look great, but I felt like I was rehashing the same thing others have done for this label, so I simply chose to ignore it all together and go for a semi-retro Mario Bros look (apparently I get all my inspiration from Mario games). Well, I'm pretty happy with it. :)

5995

5996

5994

(And, yes, that black "01" in the last label there is on purpose. It looked really weird with the purple striping in the background when it was just knocked out [hollow].)

***SIDE NOTE: I spent some time at a used game shop picking out carts recently to shuck (making USB HDD shells out of them), and noticed that on US SNES labels, the long rectangle on the top right is either purple or red. If red, they usually accompanied a 3rd party logo under it, but if purple, no other logo was featured. It seemed to me this was a way to tell apart titles released by Nintendo (purple) or by another party (red). I never noticed this before. Any one else notice this and have any sort of comment?

Here's some back labels. I have black text on white (in case you want to print on silver like I did), white text on grey, or white text on black.

http://themediadeli.com/sd2snes/sd2snes-cover-940.jpg

After making this, I recided to redo my EverDrive 64 cart, and use a miniDrive microSD adapter as well to keep it a clean, uncut cartridge shell. No modifications were done to the EverDrive 64 board, it went in just fine. Consequently, I have a black and a grey cartridge sitting around that are fully labeled, doing nothing, if anyone's interested. The grey cart isn't cut, and the black cart has a slot out the top for a full size SD card. I'm not the handiest with a dremel, so it's not the cleanest work, but it's far from the worst (or scariest) I'm sure some of you have seen. ;)

http://themediadeli.com/sd2snes/everdrive64-full.jpg

Also, just now realized that I've provided all of these files, but these only work with those using North American SNES carts. :/ I guess if anyone's interested in any of these labels for a PAL or Japanese cart, let me know, and I can go about resizing them. Sorry in advance.

I just wanted to thank you for these. They look great, and better than anything I came up with. I'm currently using the universal shell that shipped from the retrogate shop, but considering I have no plans on using the sd2snes on a super famicom, I'm probably going to switch to a US cart.

Also, one request: Is it possible to have a vertical format cover of the UGC cover? I only ask because that's how the rest of mine are at the moment.

[wilykat]

semi-glossy or glossy adhesive label should work and should look close to real products. It largely depends on your printer as well. I use color laser printer which doesn't suffer color bleeding on cheap paper like some ink but there's less gradient and most low to mid range color laser are limited to 600 dpi. It's fine for most people though.

[spoonTRex]

Here's the sticker paper (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VKV2H4/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I bought. The price was right on it vs other paper, so I could afford to screw up on labels and not feel each mistake was costly. Reviews mentioned it tends to smear, so I spray mine with a few coats of a clear, glossy top coat (something like this (http://www.krylon.com/products/crystal_clear_acrylic/)) to help protect it.
