Title: Megaman X label scan
Post by: 133MHz on November 14, 2007, 05:34:43 pm
Hi everybody! ;D

Could somebody get me a good resolution (~300dpi) scan from the Megaman X NTSC SNES label? I've got a Megaman X cart in pretty bad shape and I want to 'restore' it. And if possible, a similar scan from the back of the cart (the label which says Important: Power must be off before loading a game pak etc).

Thanks in advance! :D

They've got the box scans so it might help if you really can't find the cart....but Megaman X is a pretty common SNES game so I'm sure someone will help you out.

They scan labels yes, but so far only N64 labels are offically part of the project - there's a push to add NES labels, so I'm sure there'll be a push for SNES ones as well.

If you're still interested, I've got a good quality cart, I could scan it for you, just let me know.   :)

I've printed new labels for carts a few times, and they have all come out pretty well. The only sticker printer paper I could find though was not glossy, so it lacks the shine of  a real label. What kind are you planning on using?

Yeah I'm still interested ;D

I have access to some professional printing equipment at my mom's job, so that is not a problem ;).

Alright man, I will scan that for you either tomorrow or the next day. Post a pic of the final product if you can, I'd love to see how it comes out.

Hey man, I haven't forgotten about the scan, but I've just been unexpectedly busy with school this week. I'll get it to you on the weekend for sure.

Also, sorry to get your hopes up when you saw a new message in this thread.  :P

Okay, here we go!

It took a little longer than expected because the family computer got a reformatting a few months ago and I never reinstalled the scanner software. Then I couldn't find the CD, so I had to go online and find the software, etc, etc.

Anyway, here it is:

The direct link to the full size version is http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/johnberger87/megamanxlabel.jpg

Hopefully that is good enough quality. There are some things you might want to clean up on there. I'm not a scanning buff, so if there is a way to optimize picture, just let me know. All in all, I'd say it's a pretty good scan though.

Cheers!

And remember to post pics of the final product if you can.

you should post this on the cover project as well. They've been redoing N64 labels and a few NES labels so there's no reason why SNES lables shoulnd't be added.

Seeing as how I'm a cover guru, I've got access to the raws:

theres the direct link. Looks like it could stand to be cleaned up a bit, but good effort.
