Are any of our members out there artistically skilled that could possibly help me out in making some custom Famicom cart labels :question:
Im making a few reproductions and need labels for the following: Blade Buster, Titan Warriors, Bio Force Ape, and Metroid Deluxe. I need these labels to look as if they were legitimate. High Quality, official famicom and game company logos, etc. Anyone who can help will be rewarded greatly! ;D Im hoping to see some of your artwork and label making skills! :star:

maybe this could be used as a template?
(http://s7.postimage.org/48zo51wzv/famicomlabels.png)
Freakin' Awesome!!!!!! Thank you so much! If you can come up with the other labels I will send you a cart free!!!! ;D
I love the Bio force ape sticker!! Thanks, will come in handy!
I like making labels, I have made labels for 6 of my Famicom pirates that either had wrong labels or no labels. I always use clear packing tape over the printed label and glue it on with a craft glue stick. They tend to look quite nice.
Funny you say, I'm actually doing this at the moment for a whole bunch of carts. Just make sure you print hi res and to the right size.
Also, rather than use the image preview I posted - please use the Photoshop file - I also have a vector file if someone wants/needs that.
The Bio Force one is great I think and that's official art. The Metroid one is also good but it's squished unfortunately.
It also depends on how far you want to go with this. Technically, all Nintendo releases use the same format - but that format changes in turn throughout the lifespan of the Famicom. For example, Compare the labels of the early games like Tennis and Super Mario Bros to later games like Joy Mech Fight.
I find it all really interesting, whcih is why I'm doing hundreds of them. They're just not ready yet!
I just finished making a label for "Titan Warriors", It only took me a little over a 1 hour and I will upload it soon enough.
[image removed]
That's really great I think. It's very compressed though - I hope it's just a web preview version :)
It's been shrunk to half-sized; so yes it's just a preview version. It's based on the arcade game.
That's a much nicer Metroid Deluxe label; nice work!

Blade Buster ;)
These are great guys!
@punkpolitical Could you maybe swap the text From your Titan Warriors label with the actual game text like on Uninvited Gremlins label?
I cant thank you guys enough, this is a huge help as I have absolutely no artistic skills or editing/photoshop skills. :-
whoever can make the most labels that look high quality and official, no squashed or stretch image, etc... will receive a famicom reproduction cart of their choice! ;D
Anybody up to giving these labels a try??
Blade Buster
Super Mario Bros. Hanshin Tigers Giabbit Hunting hack
Sun Man
War on Wheels
Rockman No Constancy Hack (in style of original famicom rockman game labels, please no super fancy rockman art)
Donkey Kong Pie Factory Hack
Super Mario Bros 2 (USA) Christmas Edition Hack (since the season is almost here!) ;)
Thanks again guys! ;D ;D ;D youre not just helping me out but everybody interested in making famicom repros! Keep the awesome labels coming! Even if there is a game that I didnt list but YOU would personally want a repro of it, well, post that label up! ;D

Awesome Blade Buster label Ryo!!!!! :D
Blade Buster graphic kicks ass Ryo...
By the way folks, something I should have mentioned - that label template will only fit a regular Nintendo cart properly. Check the size of the cart you're printing onto and adjust accordingly. Same for the back, which is slightly smaller.

Anyone in this thread makes Famicom Repro? I want some game but don't know who to contact.
I remember seeing a repro done by a member here but I forgot who did.

I'll see what i can do about replicating that Super Mario Hanshin Tigers Giabbit Hunting label.
YESS PLEASE!
stupid question. what is this Super Mario Hanshin Tigers Giabbit Hunting?
It's a SMB1 hack, a nice one actually. NROM. IPS patch won't change the rom size so it's perfect for a repro. Google and youtube it for details! There was a thread here too: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=4928.0
Patch here: http://smbarchives.run.buttobi.net
I made a War on Wheels NES label back when NintendoAGE was doing repro's of it.
I am gonna convert it into a Famicom format sizing, it's very nice and based on original magazine articles showing the concept box.

I think the SMB2 Xmas hack is really fun, and a blast to play around the season. I mean, its a subtle hack with just the addition of snow, Xmas hats, and a few other holiday things but I feel its a nice touch! ;)

Don't stop, those labels are extreme! Do you want some challenge? I would appreciate if you try to make a label for the Bad apple!! demo
Link: http://www.geocities.jp/littlimi/bad_apple_2_5.htm
I might also get in because i am crazy label maker too :P ( i can also HD old labels etc :P ) for example if you have a label that it is bad just take a picture of it or a scan and i will fix it :)
can anyone make a label for "Chaos World" that is based more off of the box art? (unfortunately I cant find my box scan! maybe someone has one?)
Can anyone do a label for the Gryzor version of Contra?
Can anyone make a Dungeons and Dragons: Dragons of the flame using this image and the original D&D text?

Here is something i did quick because i have to go out now but later when i am home i will make another one and easy to be printed because this one is not in the cutout :)
That Atari DK one is a big jump in quality.

Your labels looks amazing.
Anyone has a label for super fighter 2' (an street fighter clone)?
I would also need a good quality sticker with the list of the games from this page (picture 3)

Others labels i would be interested in:
Tiny toons 2
Built to win
What is the best way to print this labels?
myfreelog, I print out labels on ordinary printer paper on the vivid/high quality setting; then I place a layer of clear packing tape over the top then cut it out. I then apply a generous amount of crafting stick glue the the none taped side of the label and attach it to the cart. Hold down the label in place with your hand for about 5 minutes and you should be fine.
Doesn't that packing tape yellow over time?
If not, great idea!
actually, best bet is to find sticky printer labels and print on those, I got good results that way on my Batman cart.
That reminds me - I need to make an Arkham City one, I guess.

Hmmm... Good question, my oldest label is a little over a year and no yellowing. How much time are we talking about?
If it didn't yellow after a year it might be okay I guess. :)
I think my labels look pretty quality; they atleast look like quality pirates.
hhhmmmmmmm Batman! All "Batman" pirates I have are sprite-hacked versions of Monsters in my pocket :D
..but your sticker looks great!
I have my objections to the Gryzor label though... it should be Contra, no matter what. No "original Gryzor" pirate cart has the name Gryzor in game, only on the label (AFAIK). The only Gryzor hacked one is the patched version that Jedi did.
That looks great!
YESS! That's wonderfull!

That's great! But the subtitle comes underneath in English for western games.
Also, the Sunsoft thing is cool but I think the right logos should be on there for maximum POW :)
I like the yellow, but I pictured something white on red like the whole (yawn) marketing art style.

And wich program should be used to print the labels?
Btw if any of you knows where i could get a good label for super fighter 2' or master fighter or just street fighter 2 please just tell me.
Thanks !
These images people are posting are just previews right? The real deal + template are actually bigger? I ask because most good printouts need at least 300 DPI and just by guestimates, it seems these images are kind of small.

It's using official artwork from a magazine, the artwork was very small; I increased it's size greatly and color enhanced it. Also I made a piratey looking ANN: SMB label for my repro a long time ago, and posted a article about it... So... Lol.

Would you be willing to help me create a special label for 2-in-1 cartridge? The games are hacks of SMB1 - Giabbit hunting AND Excite Mario Bros
(http://www.vizzed.com/videogames/nes/screenshot/Excite%20Mario%20Bros-1.png)
..and the other one you already did.
I need some idea to put both games on one label.... wanna take the challenge? :D Thanks!

That is so PERFECT! You are truly a master labeler! Your labels should be somewhere collectized and publicly available!
Thank you for this one, this is going straight to my printer!

Another request....can you make a really funny label for the Super C pirate Hack, Darkwing Duck 2? I mean the original label is funny As hell with crocodiles and orangutangs holding M-16s....but I want something extremely ridiculous.....

Nice work punkpolitical, I really want one of these for my copy of that game, how do you guys go about getting these printed? I would like to take it somewhere rather than doing it at home, on self adhesive paper, do you guys get turned down if you take it somewhere and they notice the Capcom or any of the other logos?
Confused????? YES!!!!! But that does not stop me.......................

I do it at home (at work :D), so no worries, adhesive paper + transparent foil = perfect finish. I only need to work on my cutting ability, or get somewhere some better cutting tool (using small office scisors right now).
hey dude, any chance you could make a label for the new SMB hack, Super Mario Unlimited? ;D
and also could you make a weird pirate style label for Brave boy kung fu Pokechu? :-[
Been so busy...........

Bumping an awesome thread...
keeping this on top.....can this become a sticky? its too awesome of a thread to get lost...
I made this for an unreleased famicom game:
Super Dog Booby: Akachan Daibouken no Maki
(http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af118/punkpolitical/boobyfamicomgame.png)
Not my best work but it will do.........................I dont think this game has ever been released and doubt it will.
Booby? wow never heard of that one. Boby (with one 'o') is a common dog name here ;D
Super dog Booby. Unfortunately its never been found......maybe one day.
Hey punkpolitical, can you alter that super mario unlimited label? its actually Yoshi you rescue and the princess isnt even in the game. Thanks! :)
Also can you come up with a classic style label for Excite Mario hack?
Hey punkpolitical. I have a HUGE favor to ask of you. I need a label for the Taxan version of GI Joe.....Can you make me a label using this artwork? I even found the official Japanese GI Joe Logo, maybe you can cut it from the pic and use that???? ;)
(http://s9.postimage.org/4vwsd4q7z/gijoeprimeart.jpg)
Feel free to use a different image if you can find a better group shot. I liked this one cause it looks like the artwork from the old toy packaging. I think it may look better if the image was flipped for the label.

Hey Dude!!! I will try to make a label next week. My Bro passed away on Sunday and i am busy with planning the funeral. It will
keep my mind off things. i will make it for sure.
Oh man, that's so sad to hear...
My condolences. :'(
It seems this is not a good week for FW members...
:'( Very sorry to hear that my man. My condolences to you and your family.
and thanks again for making all these great labels. Did you see the finished castlevania chorus of mysteries cart a few posts above?
Please accept my condolences punkpolitical. :'(
sorry for your loss, that's really sad news :(
bumping this thread...

awesome, awesome stuff man! hoping The Japanese Monster party ROM is dumped soon, so we can put that sick label you made to use.
Glad to see your back buddy!
I have a request.....have you ever considered making Disk System obi's and sticker labels? Unfortunately I don't have templates for either, maybe someone here does? perhaps you already do punkpolitical?
I ask because Ericj runs a nice Disk re-writing service here and he has some titles that are otherwise unobtainable. Heres a couple Im going to need soon:
Legend of Zelda, Prototype Version
Aliens Prototype
Castlevania Mario Hack (Just a weird hack where Mario is now the vampire slayer! hahaa!)
did not have a template for the obi but had a good pic of one. So i made a zelda one.
Hope that this works! EDIT MODIFIED THE TEXT SO IT SAYS NOT FOR SALE
(http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af118/punkpolitical/ZeldaObi8.png)
I LOVE that! There are higher quality version of the Disk-kun logo around though, even some vectors :)
Would be great if you had prototype and NOT FOR SALE in Japanese too :P

that would be great.....can one of our Japanese fluent friends type out the characters for "Prototype" and "Not For Sale" that way punkpolitical can maybe use them? ;) 8)
By the way, "Not for sale" is written "非売品" in Japanese. ;)

Quote from: famifan on March 30, 2012, 11:43:25 pm
what about RECCA's label?
Recca already exists. This is for hacks, prototypes, and otherwise unreleased stuff. We try to avoid the confusion of reproducing items that already exist. It is dishonest to the famicom collecting community. Of course if punkpolitical was to make entirely different artwork, then thats a different story.....but please do not request the label art to a rare official release.

I might just slap that label on some white cart... solely for fun! It's that awesome! ;D
Hey PP, now that you have the "Not for sale" Japanese characters, any chance you can make a FDS Obi for the unreleased Aliens game? Im sure you can come up with something great, theres a ton of cool Aliens images out there! Also, its one I really need bad and am dying for! ;) Thanks my friend!

Aliens was for FDS? I didn't know that. Thought it was going to be an FC game.
Learned something. :P
Yeah it was only released on the MSX and a port was to be made for the FDS, was completed and then never released.
I have a copy in the office.
what about IMMORTAL (Will Harvey) label? :)
What do you guys use to print your labels on? I have a couple carts that could use a new label :redcart:
at staples they sell a specific "glossy photo sticker paper" it works perfect. Its a little thinner than an official label but not by much, and has the same shine. Really hard to tell the difference...some people just use regular paper and then packing tape cut to the correct size and laid over it....this is a terrible idea as the tape will eventually turn yellow and become brittle.
Packing tape does that after a few years I can confirm, at least for what I used to use.
Thank you for the labels
punkpolitical!!!

How do you know? Did you try this yourself? Did you use acid-free tape? You seem to be against this method hardcore. ::)
I have a few pirates that they used this method for the labels, as well as an old repro that someone used tape for the label. Its just all around terrible, starts to yellow after a year-few years, its hard to lay it down without getting any bubbles, etc...just a bad idea in the long run.
jpx72 - LOOKIN' GOOD BUDDY!!!! what do you use for your labels?? is it the sticker photo paper? (thats what it looks like)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!! ;D
I love it!
Why not just stick them down with glue and use clear contact on them (ya know that stuff for your schoolbooks) should look legit :D
Me using adhesive label paper and a clear adhesive foil after printing. I am very satisfied with the result!
Using HP ink printer, it does make a difference when it is a big and expensive one, but the main ingredient is the adhesive foil on top. It's thicker than normal duck-tape.
Printed using the same technique: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=6808.msg106326#msg106326

Really? :-\ I think I've been doing mine since '06, & I haven't noticed anything yet. :-\ Don't want to find out, though.
I'll start using glossy photo sticker paper if I ever make one for somebody else. What sizes do they usually come in?
and a bump! :D
Im not sure, I buy solid letter size sheets and usually print two to a single page and cut them out.
I don't like glossy as much as matte. Print quality aint as good...
I think people choose glossy to look more like official labels, but with a glossy seal does it matter? :-\
If you're really fussy - you can get prints on metallic paper, with metallic inks and glossy seals and all sorts.
Of course it's more expensive, but nothing looks as factory finish as that. It's better quality than back in the day!
If you want to go the route where no-one can discern, you can do that but it'll cost about the same as a RetroUSB cart.
I have it planned for a couple of specials.
@punkpolitical - any chance you can do a FDS obi for Castlevania Mario Hack? Im thinking maybe using the original artwork for Castlevania, but somehow replacing ol' Belmont with Mario (with whip in hand!)? Any chance you could do something like this man? Thanks in advance!

so why should that matter with dreamworld pogie? Thats an unreleased game and could have been released in Japan at some point, or at least, on pirate cart like all the dizzy games.
amazing labels. Especially overflow toilet.

Just in to say that this Akira label looks better than the original IMO. ;D
I agree, but I'd like to see a version with the art in colour as well. I've seen that image so many times and think it needs to be in colour, but it sure looks stylised as is!

Hey PunkPolitical....any chance you could take on some NES style labels? Id love to see what you could do for Castlevania: Overflow of Darkness, All Night Nippon SMB, Spelunker 2, Time Zone, Wily and Lights Rockboard, Kung Fu II - Spartan X2 - the translation is out there as well as the original Vidpro card art. Id also love to see a mock up NES label for the yet to be found unreleased game Ultimate Journey! The vidpro art is out there for this as well. Thanks dude!

What happened to this cool thread? It can't die! I won't let it!
I'm a huge Rockman fan and I've always admired the design of the Rockman 1-6 Famicom label art. I whipped this up in my spare time yesterday after browsing through all of the neat custom labels in this thread:
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/RainLink/VERSION2revised.png)
I tried to mimic the simplistic style showcased on most of the Rockman Famicom carts, yet add a dash of elegance to it. Yes I realize that Rockman 9 is only available on Wii/PS3/Xbox, but I think it looks cool to see what it would have looked like had it been released on our favorite 8-bit console.
And this is just a rough mockup I threw together in five minutes what the label would look like on an actual cart:
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/RainLink/Rockman9Cart.png)
Let me know what you guys think and I look forward to seeing more custom labels! :)
That my friend is called an ART! Awesome work! Very, very nice!
Thank you jpx72! :D
I'm thinking about making a Rockman 10 cart label but I'm having a hard time finding a high quality "Rockman 10" logo. hmmmm...
You could always create one... That's what I had to do. I think it was only called Megaman 10 as well, I couldn't find a Rockman 10 (unless I'm imagining it)!
Following the advice of L___E___T (Thank you!), I had to "recreate" the Rockman 10 logo. And here's the finished result of my Rockman 10 Famicom Cart:
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/RainLink/againt.png)
I also was messing around on the net and stumbled upon the holy grail of Rockman collectables: "The Golden Rockman 4 Cart". See here: http://www.rockmancorner.com/2009/11/behold-gold-rockman-4-cartridge.html (http://www.rockmancorner.com/2009/11/behold-gold-rockman-4-cartridge.html)
So I thought "Wouldn't it be cool if Rockman 10 could have something similar?"
Behold! :D

Thanks again L___E___T!

I made a Final Fantasy VII Famicom label based off of that horrid pirate with the same name. I modeled the overall structure of the label from the cover of the Final Fantasy III cart. As you can see below my FFVII label fits in quite nicely with the official labels.

And I made another Rockman label, this time for the popular rom hack "Rockman No Constancy".
I love doing these labels they are so much fun! If anybody has any requests I'd be more than happy to oblige and see what I could do.
Wow RainLink that is awesome, I see you like Rockman, would you try to make one for Rockman 4: Minus Infinity?
http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/910/
(Would be awesome if you can do this one for the bigger cartridge since it's a MMC5 hack and all MMC5 games are big format (LINK (http://bootgod.dyndns.org:7777/search.php?region_op=%3D%60%40%60®ion=Japan&ines_op=%3D%60%40%60&ines=5&field=2&order=asc&rfa=1+2+11+3+9+20+41+53))
Wow, damn :o, those Rockman labels look super sweet! ;D
Thank you guys both! And jpx72 that Rockman 4: Minus Infinity looks fun to create! I'll see what I can do :D

How does this look? I didn't have a proper template to make large MMC5 carts, so I just kinda messed around with the dimensions of the regular famicom cart template to match the proportions of a larger MMC5 cart. Please forgive me if the dimensions aren't 100% accurate.
I once again had a hard time finding a good quality of the Rockman 4 logo, so I ended up making it from scratch like I did with my Rockman 10 cart. I thought the addition of Dr. Cossack in the Minus symbol and Dr. Willy in the Infinity symbol was a neat little effect and I liked the way it came out personally. I ended up making the text underneath the Rockman 4 logo "Minus Infinity" in Japanese as opposed to English because I thought it flowed better and looked more official. I made the little design in the background orange based off of the original famicom cart color of Rockman 4, as well as the cover of Rockman 4: Complete Works on the PS1. Let me know what you think jpx72! :)
Man that is so PERFECT!!!!! That one goes straight to the printer! Don't worry about not accurate dimensions, I can adjust it slightly whenever I need it (have to measure real cart first).
But the idea and whole concept is awesome! I love the black background and orange crossline, you have both of my favourite colours right there! And the "minus infinity" is exactly as the author of the hack meant it! It's perfect that you haven't used the words rather than symbols! And of course the idea of both evil doctors is great! Although I don't know if Dr.Cossack is in the hack present, don't worry about that, it still fits the whole concept perfectly!
THANK YOU
You guys are awesomely talented! I love seeing all the art. The closest I can get to designing something like that is scribbling on MS paint. lol
If you need better "translations" for English subtitles, you can send me a pm if you want.
Online translations are terrible. :-[
Ok so big cartridge format label should be 9,1 x 5,5 mm ;)
2 RainLink requesting custom label for Elite (http://bootgod.dyndns.org:7777/profile.php?id=4538)
Thanks in advance
jpx72: I'm happy you like it! I haven't had time to really play this romhack all the way through so I just assumed since it was a romhack based off of Rockman 4, I thought Dr. Cossack was in it. But thank you! I really appreciate your kind words! :D
Butcherdeliz:Thank you as well! Don't worry, if you are dedicated enough and practice thoroughly, you can design anything you want. There are always classes you could take or online videos that can help you. PM me if you ever need any help.
Manuel: I would love some help with translations. I don't know a lick of Japanese :-[ I'll be sure to keep you in mind.
80sFreak: Cool this looks interesting! You want this on a famicom cart correct?
Yes, for Famicom, please. This title was not released officially outside of PAL territory, so it's kinda specific.
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/RainLink/elite.png)
Is this to your liking 80'sFREAK? I had a hard time finding that golden ship emblem so I found a scan of the front of the NES cart and had to edit out the background and improve the quality of the colors. I hope it came out alright?
That's looks awesome, can't see anything wrong, thank you so much :)

Offtopic:
80'sFREAK I think I'll be buying a Famicom from your shop on this forum soon, I just need to get my paypal information all squared away. I'll send you a PM when I do.
you should design the label for his flash cart
Ummm, thats another request ;)

Hmmm...do you have any suggestions for what it could look like? It's hard to design something with barely any materials or a base template.
EDIT: 80sFREAK I think I have an idea for one design. Tell me two of your favorite colors, or colors you think would go well together.
It was already one suggestion to make label "pulse line" alike. As for me color map doesn't really matter, just don't add much pink on it :) Also not sure which color will go for the shell - black, white or gold.

How about this? I hope the Japanese text is correct, but if it isn't, it can be easily changed. Let me know what you think 80sFREAK, criticism is appreciated as always.
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/RainLink/Flashcart.png)
Looks good, can not see anything wrong with design, just have to check "HVC-FC" code, if it's not reserved already.
Definately will looks good on white shell, but for black one i suggest narrow border of background color. This would help to separate pulse line and left top area with code from the shell.
Not sure, how it will looks like with gold shell. Let's wait for few more comments.
That looks very nice.
Japanese transcription is also okay. :)

Okay! I look forward to what you have in store for us 80sFREAK, and I hope all goes well with the PayPal situation.

Wow! Thank you so much 80sFREAK, it's an honor! I really appreciate it :D
Im in the process of making my own boxes to store my loose carts (I realized I am too cheap to afford original boxed games lol) and as such am also 'trying' to design the box art for it. Since I am only going to use it for personal use and I am in no way making money off it, Is it okay if I copy art from the net and modify it for printing to my box without putting credit to artist or the website?
I see no harm in that, I would just remember which artist did what. The only thing I could see bad with it is if you claimed that you yourself did it, which doesn't seem like what your doing. So I think your're okay :)
Duly noted Rain! ;)
Errr and I am also in need of ideas or help touching up a box cover Im trying to make. I just dove into GIMP without any prior experience and I am having a hard time editing stuffs lol. This is what I have so far:
https://picasaweb.google.com/103621071075490462624/ReproContraBoxInProgress?authkey=Gv1sRgCNWUqumTtsmCXg
I like how the front cover came out, though it needs some enhancing I think. The back cover seems a bit too blah for me and I am simply not artistic enough to think outside of the box for awesome design options to put there so whatever anyone can come up with Ill be very interested and thankful to see... and oh that goes for the spine too. ;D I do hope to include the two screenshots somewhere in the back as well as some captions to go with it. I have some boxed games for reference at home but theyre all in Japanese so I dont know what the texts at the back usually mean lol.
P.S. Im pretty sure I saved the full size picture but I dont know why the box cover design is small when uploaded? o.O
What do you guys use for editing? Is Gimp just not user friendly? I am having suuuuch a hard time even looking for the tools to make basic shapes and the text tool I find is also absolutely and horribly limited. :-X
GIMP is a nice free alternative to Photoshop but it is a bit confusing and I prefer Photoshop. I don't get what the idea with a ton of separate windows is all about. I heard there's a variant of GIMP called Gimpshop with a Photoshop like interface though.
First of all, all I can say is WOW! That front cover is really sexy, I like how they both kinda "pop out" at you. As for the back, I like how you were trying to incorporate the font that's used in the game, but I think you can go with something a bit more..upscaled. Like do you get what I mean? If you look on any back of game packaging you see they always use a generic nice looking font. Like here's 2 examples:
(http://i.neoseeker.com/boxshots/R2FtZXMvTmludGVuZG9fRW50ZXJ0YWlubWVudF9TeXN0ZW0vQWN0aW9uL1Nob290ZXI=/contra_backcover_large_1VH3uEhPkvW3C65.jpg)
(http://image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/9/519689_119495_back.jpg)
If you look on the back of any NES or Famiom game box, you'll notice they MOST of the time they all use a very similar font, try to match it. A very good place to figure out what font is used in pictures is whatthefont.com, where you can upload any image, albiet it is a very clear image, and it will give you a list of fonts that is a direct match or others that look similar.
For the spine I would keep it as simplistic as possible, I would just add the logo and maybe a contra enemy to the left or right or even on both sides of the logo.
I mostly use photoshop, but gimp is also pretty good. I think in all honesty it depends on what your most comfortable with- each program have their strength and weaknesses alike.
Good luck Butcherdeliz, hope this helps and we all can't wait to see the finished product! :D
Youre right. Modern styled fonts do look better at the back. Thanks again for the advice guys!! I would surely post the finished product here when Im done. I am also switching to Photoshop in the hopes itll be more noob friendly hahah. ;D
Can't wait to see the finished product Butcherdeliz, and I'm interested to see how you're faring with photoshop. :D

And with that I'm done making Rockman labels. I promise! :-[
AGH! Rockman 7 label using Rockman & Forte artwork! Can't unsee! :)

Thanks Rain! It was fun dabbling in CS. Ill probably PM you more about effects and such soon :P

Here's my crappy dream up of what F1 Race would look like if Nintendo bothered to release it as a black box game:
(http://i.imgur.com/To1gi.jpg)
Ooh I really like that design Flemishdog- out of all the various designs on the NES, the blackbox design is my favorite.
I've been bored lately so I just threw together four random cart designs:
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/RainLink/pack4.png)
Top left is a "Return of the Jedi" cart design based off of the Namcot Star Wars cart.
Top right Is just something I completely made up called "Air Man Challenge", based off of that youtube video "エアーマンが倒せない / I Can't Defeat Airman".
Bottom left is a "What if Animal Crossing was released on the Famicom?"
And last but not least is a Spider-man Dynamite game based off of that Sunsoft Batman Dynamite game.
Love the animal Crossing one. I've been designing a lot of what ifs myself, I love them.
Thanks L_E_T! What kind of "What If"s have you been designing?
I have a list of hundreds... Pretty much anything that sprang to mind!
Oh wow...that's really impressive. I'd love to see some of your ideas :D
Hey folks,
I'm having a friend put the cool NES homebrew/port of Streemerz (http://www.fauxgame.com/) into a Famicom cart for me and I made a simple cover art for it:
(http://i.imgur.com/f3OO5.png)
It's pretty much just a copy/paste job of images from the official site, but maybe it can be useful to someone else as well. Of course, if someone more artistically inclined wants to make a cooler label for it, that'd be sweet as well.
I love Streemerz! But how does that work? I thought it was made in flash?

Just click the link (http://www.fauxgame.com/), it's been ported to NES. Works great.

Obviously, but still I wish they were real.
And I agree with Butcherdeliz, I love the template you use marchshort.
It looks like a photo from FamicomFreaks website with a few masks, or am I horribly wrong there?
I love the Pigmon one!
The template pic is mine. I will print these labels when they all are done. So they will be real. But until then i do mockups to get a feeling for hows they going to turn out. :)
They look great! By the way I wasn't implying you stole a template or anything, just wondered if you tool the pic yourself or got it from google.
All FamicomFreak's photos end up looking like that with stacks of carts in the background :) just made me chuckle is all.
Sorry for sounding harsh. Enlglish is not my main language. :)
Here are two new labels I made yesterday. :)

Love the Ice Climber and Baloon Fight ones! Are all your templates of fictional games? Because I can imagine hacks that will go with these labels perfectly (for example exchanging the player sprites from BF with something small red and weird looking :) ).

Hey RainLink! Would you please be so kind and try to remake the Rockman Minus infinity label to fit a standard NES cartridge? I don't have the measurements at the moment...
I figured a direct Famicom to NES label looked a little bit odd, so I did a few tweaks to make it look like an offical Mega Man label.
Is this to your liking jpx72?
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s288/RainLink/rockman4nes.png)
And, if you want, I can change the logo from Rockman 4 to Mega Man 4 if you prefer, with the "Minus Infinity" in English if you want, I just left it the same due to the origins of the romhack.
I'll post the template once I finalize it after some suggestions from you jpx72! Just let me know and if anyone else wants comment, feel free! :D
Looks awesome!
Couldn't be better RainLink!!! Thank you so much! It's really extra ordinary!
Fom the hardware side, it's just a concept. I don't know if this will be working as a real (NES) cart one day, but I am serious about trying to do it.

No no, the hack is from a Japanese author and for a japanese game Rockman 4. So no english names please. To be completely honest, one thing I don't like is the "USA" under the Capcom logo :)
Looking forward to the template, can you please think also about the part of the label that folds over top of the cartridge?
L_E_T Thanks again - you're always so kind and supportive. :D
jpx72 - Thank you too! For the "Capcom USA" box, do you want to just take out the USA and just leave it as the red box with the capcom logo, or do you want me to use the more common blue and yellow Capcom logo and put it in the top left area? (Where the black part is, not the dark blue part)
As for the part of the label that folds over the top of the cartridge, I completely forgot to do that, and I'm not even really sure of what the dimensions would be of that either. The template I used was courtesy of "Deluxive", a wonderful website Butcherdeliz pointed me in the direction of. Making it would be easy, but I'm just not sure what the dimensions would be of that. I'll look around for more templates.
Option 1:

Guys you are fantastic! RainLink, both versions are totally awesome, I will print one of those and show you how it looks! The top part is also great!
And punkpolitical..... WAAAAAAAA! That's so... cute and futuristic at the same time! You did a great job too!
I think I will try to print both! ;D
Awesome work RainLink!!
Here are some new fake famicom labels I made yesterday. :)

Thank you marcshort! It's always a treat to see your artwork. I especially LOVE your Rocktape cart design, I'm a fan of Rockband I must admit.
After seeing all this artwork, i might give "minus" a try(i guess everyone knows, i'm not a big fan of platformers).
One more "weird" request - Exolon (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0001686) label for Famicom

Ooh! Wreck it Ralph! I really want to see that movie- I like these carts too! You should have your own showcase or something.

Saw it yesterday and Wreck it Ralph is awesome! Its a nostalgia filled trip to the by gone years which most of us still live in, but being in a theatre with the same aged people around enjoying and loving the film just like I did was a great experience. Thumbs up to PIxar/Disney for that one. I dont normally buy dvd movies or so but Im definitely going to buy Wreck it Ralph for my library. :D
I always thought gimmick had the worst cart art. And the pirate version Pipe V is even worse. So I made this in case anyone wanted to make their Pipe V look better.

Nice label, I hate the EU Gimmick! art though...
Then again I like the JP Gimmick! label.
Nice work! I agree with LET that the character design on Mr Gimmick is horrible. He looks frightening!
Oooh I really love that label punkpolitical, the more colorful the better!
Yes it's awesome punkpolitical! I love the kind of distortion/filter that makes it feel more like official label!
I finished up my Famicom Art Project yesterday! :)
(http://www.marcshort.com/famicom/famicomartproject.jpeg)
I think Rocktape is the best, but they're all really great!
My monitor broke down for several weeks and office work has kept me busy and Im only left with very few hours left to dawdle with photoshop but heres my updated covers :D

That Turtles cover is totally awesome! :o

Is it necessary to put the 'Ultra Games' logotype on there?
& having the classic Shredder & April apart from the current TMNT is a break of style. The Shredder shadow is a nice touch however I'll shut the hell up now. :-X
Oh no worries Jed, I actually want comments so I can update them, theyre always works in progress so critiques are always welcome!. :D Youre right, the UG logo does seem out of place on the spine, Ill see on removing it later. As for the pics, I had to do some kind of compromise between retro pics, actual game sprites and modern updated images for the covers. I actually didnt think most people would notice the difference but I guess youre one of the most avid fans that do. :D
P.S. Also many many many thanks to Manuel for all the translation help I bugged him with. :D Hopefully you dont mind, cause there more to come. lol
Ooooh I really like that boxart for TMNT Butcherdeliz! My favorite part of it is Master Splinter on the back standing on the Famicom controller haha!
I've been busy with a few requests and I wanted to see if maybe other users on FamicomWorld would like to see/use these labels!
I redid my Rockman 7 + 8 labels:
(http://i.imgur.com/8n3hE.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/ygCRt.jpg)
And then I also made a label for the infamous "Bad Apple!!"
(http://i.imgur.com/q1xgi.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/pdd3I.png)
I also have two other color schemes (green and yellow) for the Bad Apple label; if anyone is interested in them I'm just a PM away.
And then I made more "What If" carts that really serve no purpose but to marvel at:
(http://i.imgur.com/Ml8Kn.jpg)
Very very awesome!!!! And Thank you again ;) hope this answers your question lol ;D
I love all these! I lost my big list of what ifs when my PC died, but it was basically all my favourite games from the last 20 years, great to see some like Starfox in there as I had those in mind too. Can you think what an 8-bit Starfox would look like?! I imagine a pseudo 3D shooter could still be really good done in the right way.

Thanks again everyone, especially you Star_Scream! You know I was thinking the same thing about Starfox L_E_T. There are just so many possibilities for all of these demakes on the Famicom and I love making these sort of cart labels. Who knows what the future will bring for demakes?!
Looking at that Starfox cart just conjures up sooo much emotion inside me. I also have a fave retro game character come to mind, Ill try to make a famicom what-if box later too. :D
My Punch Out box! :V

I redid my Rockman 7 + 8 labels:
Those look great! Have you made any Rockman 9 or 10 labels? I was thinking of doing my own actually but was having trouble finding high res artwork for the Rockman 9 and 10 logos.
Also I wasn't able to find the right japanese text for the label too to make it look official like you did. Where did you get it/what font did you use?
I have some high res logos, took me ages to find as Rocman 10 I believe was officially Megaman 10.
I'll dig it out and post in this thread.

Fantastic work punkpolitical and RainLink! How do you go about making sticker labels of them for putting on Famicom carts?
Whew it's been a while since I've been on the forums! My last computer finally conked out on me. :(
I'm appreciate your compliments lemons, and welcome to Famicom World! I'm not particularly good with printing out and applying the labels like some other users on here are; I just have fun making them. To answer a question you had like a few posts ago I think for the font below the "Rockman" logo I used a font called "Meiryo" Bold but I'm not 100% content with how it came out. I'm still looking for other fonts to make it look better.
punkpolitical I like that art you chose to use for that Rockman 10 label. Genius!
Oh and Butcherdeliz I freaking LOOOVE that punchout!! boxart! Punchout is easily one of my favorite games from the NES/Famicom.
RainLink vs Punk political Rockman label battle! You guys both do beautiful work ;D
Can you do Costum NES Labels for the Famicom, Like
Super Mario Bros. 3
Kirby's Adventure

Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but where do you get the template for these? I'm having trouble finding it. Also, how do you print these on a sticker? Kinkos?
Just google "Mr. Splash famicom" the template I posted here is just a PNG, you want the PDF version for best results.
If you can't be bothered with that just check the first post, it's around there.

Thanks, but it looks like all the links are dead. Would anyone be able to get me the .psd template?
I just create a new document in photoshop with 43.5mm height and 90mm width. Those are the exact dimensions of a standard famicom game label.

Thanks. The stickers have rounded edges. Do you guys use the rounded rectangle shape tool, or is that shape a result of the sticker paper you print on?
I'll upload the PSD template again soon, but my main computer died so I have to retrieve everything from it this week hopefully.

i print on full page sticker paper, laminate the label with clear packing tape. i cut out the label with a good rotary paper trimmer, then round the corners with a 2mm corner rounder : http://www.oregonlam.com/CR2MM_2mm_3_32_Corner_Rounder_Cutter_Punch.html
I always do rounded corners with scissors only, it's pretty easy.

Cool. I've never seen those rounded edge punches before. I'll have to pick one up. Thanks!
This obviously needs a lot more work, but here's something I threw together with the dimensions you provided:
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RIMFadcJsYM/UOnXyuyO_UI/AAAAAAAAAgM/0sspewOAKos/s550/Farmer-Mockup.png)
if you decide to buy one of those corner punches...get it from their ebay listing here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2mm-Corner-Rounder-Cutter-Hand-Held-Heavy-Duty-Steel-ID-Card-Cutting-Corners-/370683399676?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564e73cdfc
they accepted my offer of $20 when i bought mine couple months ago. they might not go that low now but should still be able to get it lower than regular price
Yup. They auto-denied $20 and $25. $42 shipped just seems a lot for half of a hole punch :-\

You can also get lamilabel from Kinkos its a laminate that that has an adhesive backing a lot of people use it to put art work on the joysticks it won't turn yellow over time like tape tends to do.

I found it, so I can post here when I get a free evening spot this week. I'd actually like to upload the full .PSD to the site, if any mods see this and think that'd be ok? If I can find it from the website I got it from I'll link there instead.
Actually scrap that last bit - ProjectFonline appears to be gone entirely :(
Can you do US NES Arts?
I might need one for Mighty Final Fight
Sure, but if you do why don't you just use the regular NES art:
http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/9/93156/2362068-nes_mightyfinalfight.jpg
All you gotta do is get the capcom logo on there at the top[ and it's exactly the same:
http://gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_NES/Cart/big/Mighty_Final_Fight_-_1993_-_Capcom_Co.,_Ltd..jpg
Or go here, you're covered :)
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=5227
That what I ment, use the US Mighty Final Fight Art
It's there, you just need to print it out...
I mean to fit the the Art on the Famicom..I don't thing it will NES Cart art will fit on it
So you want US MFF art on a famicom cartridge? If I understand correctly, I'll happily do that.
But, I'm a little confused - why wouldn't you want the famicom MFF art? Just prefer the NES one? The colours are great I admit.
I gave you a PM
this one I just made for my new repro cart. :)

Nice label. It's a 3-in-1? How come Hebereke is in Cyrillic but the others in English?
I think this thread is about to get overloaded with Everdrive labels!
yes, it's 3 in 1, but the games are switching by hardware switches.

Excited for my Everdrive to arrive! ;D
I designed my own simple and stylish cart label in preparation:

How is the FDS support?
Don't have mine yet, but FDS games ARE supported, and Krikzz is responsive to improving the implementation.
Label is very clean - I like it! I think I'd have preferred it on black though.
I haven't tried out the FDS support yet but VRC7 didn't quite work unless I have a bad dump of Akumajou Densetsu.
It had the audio channels, they just didn't sound right at one point - that could just be my TV though.
I'll compare with a real cart in a couple days. I'll test FDS games tonight.

How about multi disk games?
What are some multi-disk games? I'll try now.
Famicom Tantei Kurabu: Kieta Koukeisha and it's sequel Famicom Tantei Kurabu Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shoujo are both on two disks each. The disks are marked 前編 (zenpen - former volume) and 後編 (kouhen - later volume).
Another example is Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima that spans three two disks I think. Yuuyuuki and Time Twist also seems to span two disks each.
But I think it might be hard to just test this out since you usually need to complete the first disk and have it still in RAM before you can continue on the next disk.
I think it can be done, because it seems to save RAM or at least some data every time I turn it off and if you press reset it keep the disk image apparently.
Oops I checked out Shin Onigashima on internet and it's only 2 disks.
Sounds like the same as a real FDS. If you press reset in some FDS games you reset to the games title screen and don't need to load the game again. That is if the disk side with the title screen (side A) is already loaded. If that was what you meant?
It should be possible as long as the cart understands when it's time to switch to the "third disk side" (side A on disk 2). Powerpak apparently doesn't.
I'll have to try that - but I am not too fussed if it doesn't work. I plan to get an FDS as well later down the line.
Yeah me neither actually as I have an FDS already.
I want to see L___E___T pulse line label of the Famicom EverDrive N8
They're coming! :)
Found out gumshoe was a western only release, and when I found the european box art for it, I knew I had to mock up a Famicom label for it. Tried making it like the other Zapper games (full illustration, red lines on top) but it didn't look good, so I went with the standard Nintendo label design
(http://i.imgur.com/90KHSfq.png)
Enjoy!
Looks great! What font do you use for the katakana?
Looks good! You probably don't need the mid-dot separating "gum" and "shoe" in the kana written title though. Not even English uses a space between them. Unless this is the official way of writing the games title of course.
That GumShoe label is awesome!!!!! Can you do some other Western only releases? Like Low G Man, Kick Master, Frankenstein, California Raisins, Silver Surfer, Uncanny X Men, and Toxic Crusaders? Those would be really cool to see in Famicom form! :)
Gumshoe makes sense in this format because its a Nintendo game. Those others are not, so I think that'd look odd. Better to follow the publisher norms for those.
First 'FamicomWorld' version of my Everdrive label is nearly done:

The logo needs cleaning up and retracing I suspect, plus a few more details to go in. I'll update here with final files for everything when finished. Critique and feedback is welcome - how can I make it better?

Yeah it would look odd, I wasnt implying for him to do it in the Nintendo label style, just make Famicom labels for those games.

Thanks, put gum and shoe into google translate and hoped for the best and didn't bother with removing the dot in case it was important
I see, then it definitely shouldn't be there. Mid-dots are mostly used instead of a space to separate two foreign words or names (like first name and last name) written in katakana.

I like it! I would add the title in Japanese "エバードライブ" like on real pulse line cartridges. The most common Japanese font is probably "Gothic" (eg. "MS PGothic" that ships with windows). I have no idea what Nintendo used on their cartridges though.
I actually already had the title added, I disabled the layer before saving somehow :)
I have the same katakana you have there, so good to know I got it right first time (but I should hope so!).
You can see the gap where I left it in.
Gotta admit though, I wanted to keep the made in Japan and Nintendo copyrights. Doesn't seem like a proper pulse line cart without them. I could change the date to 20XX and say 'made in Ukraine' but that seems a bit knock-off.

i bet it was made in china, but engineered in another country.
The pulse lines ratio is totally wrong.
It's Ukraine, home of Krikzz. The pulse line ratio is a recreation (Nintendo Logo Resource), the placement is correct but I noticed it has a funny ratio on the lines. Still, it's the best one around and I don't feel like retracing it just yet (I probably will later).

enjoy the ratio (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/Themes/famicomworld/images/smflogo.gif)
What does that mean? Don't use FW for comparison, use a real pulse line cart. The homepage of FW doesn't use an accurate pulse line ratio for starters.

as you can see the lines ratio is okay, but the spaces ratio is wrong!
look closer and you can see:
there are 5 pulse lines with 4 space lines between;
the total pulse lines width is very closer to 1/2";
the 1st pulse line is really close in width to 7.62 mm (3 lines!)
the 2nd pulse line has the same width as the 4th space line
the 3rd pulse line has the same width as the 2nd space line
the 4th pulse line has the same width as the 1st space line
the 5th pulse line has the 1/2 width of the 4th pulse line

Hahahaha! I never even saw that - I guess it's a logical step though. I have many more colours and variations, plus some other designs on the way.
On the pulse, I might just delete that last line or start again. Not sure.

when i saw it for the first time i thought these space lines were made from mirrored pulse lines but it was not
Yeah I've fixed it as good as I could for now. I went back into the vector and noticed that it's actually a little off in rotation, in angle and a few other ways. When I have time I'll use a high res scan and recreate the whole thing.

Hi all,
Got a pirate of FDS all night Nippon and was wondering is there any chance someone could make me an obi for it. It can be as pirate looking as you like I'd just love to have an obi instead of a stack of disks with no labels and I've found the obis for the other games I own online.
Cheers,

Im sure you can find the actual obi at full size and high quality by doing a google search.

Is PunkPolitical still here? those labels earlier in this thread look amazing. If hes here still, or if someone is up to the challenge, How about Famicom style labels for Low G Man, Frankenstein, Silver Surfer, Uncanny X Men, and Toxic Crusaders? The more Japanese they could look the better. I have the correct Japanese text/characters for Toxic Crusaders, X Men, Silver Surfer, and Frankenstein if anyone wants to take on the challenge! 60 pin pirate carts exist for all these games and the labels always suck. Id love to transfer these boards into a official famicom shell and put a nice label on so it looks like if it were an actual release! ;D
You can't find All Night Nippon scanned at a good size, just low res. This has been covered in other threads.

Its unplayable if you dont know Japanese. Also fairly common. Id gladly chop one up (which I did) to make a Rockman No Constancy repro :D
eugh.
I have quite a few cartridges without any label, and I have decided to try making custom labels for them, but I have some questions about it.
1) What program is the best to use for designing custom labels?
2) What should be the correct size of the picture?
3) What settings should be for printing that label you have made?
1. Adobe Photoshop, or Adobe InDesign.
2. Measure the label, set to 600 dpi (or 300).
3. This depends on your printer, but set the PSD/IDD file to CMYK mode.
Heres a cart I just finished for a customer. He wanted a repro cart for Super Mario Bros. Special. But I couldn't find a famicom game with a SAROM pcb. So I took his NES repro with a nes to famicom adapter and fit it into a large famicom shell. Worked out great.

Whoa, I had no idea Special has been fan-ported to Famicom. I would assume it scrolls? Does it have the Special-exclusive enemies and items included?
I have an NES repro as well, but mine may not be the same ROM as the one pictured. Mine is an SMB rom-hacked to have the SMB Special level design. So yes, mine scrolls. I say this may not be the same, because the graphics in mine are exactly the same as the original SMB (and Mario seems to be wearing the alternately-colored clothes from the original SMB Special in the screenshot).

I'm sure everyone here knows better, but please please please do not waste $129.99 on this "RARE" copy.
::) That's what I get for selling my games on ebay with good quality photos...
I wouldn't get upset about it. Repros are repros, the art is not yours but you're right they cloned the design for some reason.
He has other label designs and sells a lot of carts, so nt sure why he specifically copied the design. He has been making and selling these for a ling time, I think I even bought mine from him a long time ago. Sure they're overpriced but so is a lot of other stuff on eBay. I personally hate the VGA 'scene' way more than what this guy is doing. It may not be official, but it's still a rare cart to some degree. It's not much diffent than an overpriced Starfox 2 repro in m eyes.
I'm sure he copied it because my mine sells on a regular basis and wants in on the action. Hard not to get upset when you spend alot of time trying to design something unique to differentiate your carts from others. I mulled over hours on little details like text placement, color, layout, and even flipping mario around so that his 2 fingers are next to the 2 in the title so that it doesnt look like he's just throwing up a peace sign. Maybe I put too much effort in my work (Jay-ray can vouch, i'm doing his monster party cart right now) so that when someone just right click-save-print's to call it a day, call it "rare" and put a stupid price on it, it stings just a little. /rant
Now to see how long it takes him to take my No Constancy label too ;D
But yea, VGA scene makes me sick as well.
1st fuck VGA.
2nd Yes I can vouch for gcfernandez he gives an unreal amount of tender loving care behind his labels they are great craftsmanship.
3rd fuck retrohouseThailand he exploits his repro talent to try and rip people off who dont know any better.

1st fuck VGA
2nd fuck "repros"
Every time I step into the Nintendo side of things, I get sick, vomit in a can, and then get the hell out of there as fast as I can, which is funny, since I grew up on NES, and collected NES before collecting became trendy. With the "repros", just so much modern garbage is being churned out by the bucket load, being advertised as rare, and people are buying it for insane prices.
Maybe it makes me a hypocrite to feel this way about those "repros", seeing as I am collecting multicarts from Bit Corp and the extensive line of bootleg games from Whirlwind Manu, their "L Series", but owning a cart catalogue from them printed in 1990 just helps show me that although not legit, there is some historical value (though little I guess) to those boots, while the modern boots (repros) are just modern crap with no historical value at all. Fuck it all.
Would you be tempted to show some pics of the catalogue? I'd be really interested to see it and the text included. :)
I'm resurrecting this topic to show off a few custom labels I've done recently.

Could you please tell us how you go abouts to make these labels??
Like do you use an Inkjet printer or laser printer,what kind of paper do you use ect..
I recently bought a huge lot of FC games and they all pretty much have damaged labels so I would love to fix up my top picks so they dont look like they just came out of someones trash can.
I tried making a few labels my self using an inkjet printer and some standard printer paper but they all turned out like total crap and you could see the dotty look that an inkjet printer prints when printing images on paper.
I look at your labels and I dont seem to see those dots and it looks like they are real factory pressed so how do you do it??
Please share with us please please please with sugar on top!!
Thanks lots for any and all help.

I need to make a Salamander label myself at some point - but it's for a hack not the main game, it probably won't be what you're after and probably won't be soon...
In total, true, but I wanted to be as close to the original label :) I have to think about it.

Looking for this label but in good quality printing.
The genuine game label is a clear label on a translucent cart - so that could be an issue :P
You could recreate that pirate label though very easily with the links I provided. It's just art + logo + product code on white.
So guys...challenge mode. I just received my copy of the bootleg Rockman 1-6 cart in the mail today from a very nice "YAKUZA" here.
well, as expected...its that awful bootleg plastic feel. So I want to put the board in an ACTUAL famicom cart. and give it a new label. So here's what id like. I'd do it....buttttttt Im awful lol
so
Rockman 4 label. replace the picture of rockman on that cart with the one attached. And add SAGA from the other attached photo into the empty space below "Rockman" logo.
Thus a label saying Rockman Saga with a cute ass little rockman
Anyone up to the challenge? :) Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

That could be done quite easily - the tedious part would be erasing around the logo on the Rockman 4 label.
Are you sure you wouldn't prefer a cuter Rockman though?? I've seen some even more kawaii / chibi than that even.

Oh I see it now - LOVE that Dezaemon cartridge, is it switched mapper or something? How did you get it on to a smaller cartridge?
My favorite game of involvement with 70+ was creator and designing for "Maximo: Ghost to Glory". I also worked on the original "Crash Bandicoot" as designer, producer and co-creator.
Many others including "Aero the Acrobat" which was originally designed for the famicom! At that time I worked for Sunsoft and we were designing and planning for the the third generation of Sunsoft famicom games that were to feature the Sun 5b and 7 chips (like the second generation games were starting to be released). The Sega Genesis and later the SFC/SNES kill that and they were all cancelled.
Ah, I believe we've met then, I bought your Dezaemon from eBay I believe... :)
I had meant to ask you all sorts of questions but never sorted out a few.
Without putting you on the spot TOO much, woulf you be interested in doing a mini 'ask me' thread? There are a lot of big Sunsoft fans here, myself included.
I loved Maximo by the way, turned out exactly how I'd hoped it would play and loved the sequel too.

Also very sad to hear those plans were scrapped, albeit for the right business reasons. Would you be able to say after all these years, what kind of games they were??
Yeah, you probably did buy that from me. I have sold a ton of games over the last four or five years from my personal collection. Funny, I never intended to sell any of it but being out of work and my wife having cancer changed that...
I am being interviewed for a book recently about Sunsoft and just also turned down Retro magazine as I haven't felt well lately, but I would consider it. I just want to be part of the crowd here as I am a big famicom/SFC gamer.
I too would love to see the labels for Game Center CX, as I love those games and bought and was able to play through the second one without english. Those games should be on famicom but I suppose they are more technically advanced than 8bit.

finally managed to make small box for my Flying Warriors :star:
if someone need the layout, I will surely upload it

Could I get that layout and what kind of paper do you pint those boxes on?? I do game labels pretty good using self adhesive shipping label paper and acid free non yellowing crafting tape over the top of the paper to protect against smudges and bleeding.I for sure want to try my hand at some boxes and love the way you have done yours.
Wow. These are amazing. Bravo, people!
Now... How does one acquire a finely printed Bio Force Ape famicom cartridge with that dashing artwork? :)
First port of call would be to identify a good repro maker. There are more NES than Famicom repro makers around, but good quality labels aren't always a DIY job.
Can anyone do a Label for TMNT Tournament Fighters NES version
for a Famicom Cart, Konami Style

I used Lomond glossy photo paper 230g/cm2
Of course, the denser the paper, the better, but this is all I could find.

One more "weird" request - Exolon (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0001686) label for Famicom
This one looks difficult as well, I'll try my best! :D

I love this label,
Could you do a Zelda 2 custom label as well??
Just a quick question. Where do you guys get these printed? I've made my own for a Kira Kira Star Night cart I'm going to be making soon, but even making/printing it at 600 DPI it looks pretty, well, bleh. What are your printing methods?
Just like you, we print them our selves. you gotta print them in the highest DPI possible and make sure your printer can print at leased 1600 DPI or your lables will look like shit. Also make sure you force highest DPI printing in your settings and make sure your printer isnt lowering dpi during printing.You can use any style paper you want. I use Self adhesive paper and laminate over the top or ultra thin Ultra bright white printable vinyl labels which dont allow running or smudges but that is super super expensive like $10-20 a sheet.Hope that helps.

Hey guys could some one please help me out. I got 3 famicom carts with ripped,dirty and torn up labels and I would like to make new ones for them.so If anyone has the ones I am looking for or anyone can please make them for me and post them here for me and any one else needing them that would be awesome.Here are the games. Super Mario Bros. , Super Mario Bros. 2 The Lost Levels, and Rockman.These are games I got from fcgamer here at F/W and want to keep in my collection so this isn't something I am going to try to sell.Thank you all very much.
What program have people been using to make these labels? I'm really curious.
GIMP or Photoshop.
My titan warriors label is not 600dpi, way to small, it should probably be printed as 300dpi, does anyone have the beautiful Blade Buster label?
I have made some labels for SNES and NES games, I wonder if it would be ok to post them here?
Please post away, if they are custom designs, in this thread :)
It would be nice if more people shared their designs here to be honest, it's not just a reaource and request thread.
Something I created today. It has some resemblance with the "original" that AlexRUS (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2562) has (or has not, because it's badly damaged).
Here are two files: preview of Peek-A-Boo multicart and one reproduction label of my own multicart.
I have 300dpi printfiles also.

Did both versions. One for NES and one for Famicom

It's from Famicom Super Mario Bros. cartridge label. Just replaced Mario with some cartoony version of Megaman.
Ok, now the Mighty Final Fight

what are the uhh err appropriate dimensions/settings for printing labels like these?
a year or so ago i had some printed on plain sticker paper at fedex office but i dont remember the settings required for getting them the right size :'(
also, the corner rounders mentioned earlier in this thread are on sale (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2mm-Corner-Rounder-Cutter-Hand-Held-Heavy-Duty-Steel-ID-Card-Cutting-Corners-/161615673007?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a10b76af) (not really.. cheap but cheaper than they were)
That looks good, But it's blown up like a Bootleg Cart
Can you make it a llil smaller
By 'blown up' you mean what exactly? That the picture is covering the whole label?
Put somewhere Capcom 1993, I'm just being picky
If you can't...it's cool

Both are very nicely done indeed I'd say!
Also let's be fair with requests people - If someone is just after a 100% stock Rockman 2 label, there's Google Image search for that.
Thankfully Number 47 is very accommodating though, hats off to you :)
You are a talented dude, Number47! That custom Rockman 2 makes me wish I needed another ROM hack sequel so I'd have a reason to have a version of that label art on one of my carts.
Thanks, but the Rockman drawing isn't mine thou. I just made the layout.

Im looking to get a label for a repro im hoping to get done soon of the earthbound zero prototype on a famicom cart with the artwork from the original Mother release in japan but instead of it saying Mother it says Earthbound.. if that makes sense.. I could honestly do it myself as i am a graphic designer but i dont have the vector template
You don't need the template, just measure the area on your cartridge that holds the label and set the document size in your program.
The template used here is just a PNG I saved of a PDF template from the Mr. Splash! label. But 47 is right, it was nothing more than a measured label with crop marks, you could set it up in AI or ID in 2 mins.

That's a great label punkpolitical, thank you for sharing

They look great! What's Rockman 2 Claw? Don't think I've heard of either of those.
Has anyone made a label they'd share for Zelda: The Legend of Link? It runs on MMC5, so the label area is a little bit larger than it is on standard FC carts.

Masaya logo suggests also the JP version.
US and EU had Tradewest logo on the label.

Quick question number47, how did you make your battletoads repro?
Go to http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=7922.0
and scroll down to the end.
ah okay. so i guess i can't just desolder and bend up pin 6 of the '161?
Infact you can. If you use desoldering pump/gun or solderwick to get out all the solder. Take a few inches of 22 gauge wire, bend it to V or U shaped hook, slide the hook behind the 6th leg and gently (holding both ends of wire) drag the pin out of the hole.
awesome! I find it easier to bend up the pins anyways instead of cutting traces or breaking the pins. Can't wait to get my Battletoads on :)

Is Battletoads 1 really that rare that repro labels are being accepted?
in my area, Battletoads is pretty hard to find. Mainly because resellers are buying them all up and charging above ebay prices. Plus, Battletoads repro is for my personal collection only, but i figured i would share my label to others who want to use it.
Battletoads Famicom is an expensive game, repros of it have some demand. I'm not sure what you mean about acceptance - the label's different enough at least.
A game being expensive or hard to find isn't a good enough reason to make a repro, and I would hope to see such repros discouraged. I can understand repros of games that are literally impossible to acquire (like a Famicom repro of the NES-only Battletoads & Double Dragon...and even then you could just buy an adapter and play the NES cart), but otherwise no.
But that's just my $0.02 and probably more suited to another discussion.
I'll toss my hat into the ring as well, here's a Battletoads & Double Dragon label I made. I modeled it after the original label for Battletoads FC.
(http://i.imgur.com/FU8fIXF.png)
I think that looks really smart - and a great game to make a repro for as well - nice one!
Now you have to hack the ROM file also to replace Tradewest with Masaya :P
Here's one for Monster Party. I just used the American artwork for it.
(http://i.imgur.com/7gaYuHP.png)
Man, Monster Party had some awesome box art. Gotta love that gouache.
Screw the guache, look at that Black Lagoon Moustache!
Nice label, looks pretty authentic if you ask me :)
That label looks familiar. By any chance HVC-Man, do you know someone on NintendoAge by the username Guntz?
Yeah that's me. I just wanted a more appropriate title here. If I was better with pixels, I'd draw an HVC Man avatar, the white and red Robot Master. :-X The Hippie from Mother suits me fine though.
After i made the BTDD label, a thought came across my mind, "What other awesome games didn't get a japanese release?" Well, after doing some research, i found 2 awesome games that were suprisingly unreleased in Japan. Now, i don't plan on making repros of these, nor do I advise making repros of these games since they're not like BTDD or Suprise at Dino Peak expensive, but should anyone make repros of these anyways, feel free to use the labels! It's fun making these labels :) Also, the Batman Returns label I modeled after the famicom Batman released by Sunsoft.

Those Legend of Link concepts are pretty neat, HVC Man. I might have to use one of those. Any chance you could fit one of those to an NES-sized label?
If you mean me, I'm not sure how well my Legend of Link label would work in a vertical NES format as the art is designed to be horizontal.

Here's one I whipped up for my Akumajou Densetsu English Repro

Fantastic label, thanks.
In return, I will post your label with the correct size. I peeled and measured a real Konami label, the size should be 9cm x 6.75cm.

Awesome, thanks. My original label was torn so I kinda guesstimated the size.
Hey Guys,
Could someone make me a label for Dragoon X Omega II?
Here is the link to the game, it's a massive hack of Final Fantasy and I'm making a cartridge of it for my Famicom, I would love a kick ass label for this game.

Does anyone want to see something done????? ??? I have fun making these.
I just sent you an email! I know this is a very old post but this thread is still alive, I've got a couple of labels I would love to see you make! Your labels are amazing!

Here's some labels I made recently for everyone to enjoy ^^

Has anyone done a custom Metal Gear label?
Custom in what sense? Generally these labels are for games that didn't come out on cartridge, so that repros can have appropriate labels. What are you looking for?
Here's some useful artwork you could quickly make a nice label from:

I whipped this up for the Legend of Link repro's I create.

Pops quite nicely with those white/gold YAKUMAN TENGOKU carts. Most of my labels are primarily designed for die cutting machines. Especially if you want to keep that gold bezel intact perfectly.
It's to scale.
Anyone have or can make a Kid Icarus label in Famicom size? Preferably using the Japanese or European labels as source, not the hideous USA version.
Also I'm interested in:
Rockman 4 Minus Infinity in standard Famicom size (not MMC5 size)
Zelda Outlands Famicom size.
Can anyone make these famicom labels for me?:
TALE SPIN
G.I. JOE
G.I. JOE - The Atlantis Factor
I will compensate as requested.
Also does anyone do famicom cartridge work? Or can recommend someone to make a couple of custom famicom cartridges for me.
Thanks greatly!
Hi, I will do it for free if you send me a full brief by PM my friend. Hope all is well.
I don't usually do requests, but does anyone have a label for Super Mario Bros. Special? Or at least a lead on the cover art in decent quality.
Rockmanzallz kindly approached me concerning an updated logo and corrected copyright info for Monster Party (JPN Prototype). This is still a community ROM, so I will share this improved label.
[updated, see below]
I managed to find acceptable artwork for Super Mario Bros. Special, it'll do but the quality could be better. If anyone wants I can post it.
Much earlier in this thread, someone made a SMB Special cart using an NES SAROM board + pin adapter + tall FC shell. I think that is way overkill. The Famicom already has at least one very compatible board, SJROM. It offers MMC1, PRG RAM and battery saving, good for Dragon Warrior 1 as well.
EDIT: Jay-ray supplied me with a better artwork source, so here is a further refined label for Monster Party (JPN Prototype).

Talespin Famicom label. You can get the full 300dpi resolution file from the link. http://imgur.com/Am9u0nk

Nice! Looks great!
So, it's not exactly Famicom, but...
Has anyone here ever made a custom label for Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun AKA River City Ransom 2? I'd definitely prefer one that uses the latter fan nickname.
Is the "Ransom" in US or EUR/JP cartridge case?
It would be for a repro in a US case.
Just spent an hour looking at all these great labels! You guys have talent!
Is it ok to request some labels?
I would like following labels for standard famicom cart:
Zelda Master Quest
Moon Crystal
RockMan Exile
Thanks!

I'm working on a few english translation labels for some english translation famicom repros I'm going to be making, I'll post them soonish, in the mean time, can anyone tell me the dimensions of a namcot cart label? such as the one that Splatterhouse is on? (the kind that rolls over to the top of the cart)
Thanks!!
I hope it won't hurt to post in this thread after two years... :redcart:
So let me show what I prepared recently. This is a set of custom labels for a repro cartridge with Layla: The Iris Missions, an amazing romhack made by SupperTails66.
(https://i.imgur.com/7de9URxm.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/7de9URx.png)
Well... almost prepared, the front label lacks any sort of artwork. Sure, I could have slapped the character from the title screen and remake her with vectors but that's not what I'm aiming for. I traced all the logos and stuff with vectors to recreate design of the original label all while adding the new stuff where neccessary so it looks like an actual sequel to the original game released back in the day. All I need now is to commission some artist to make an artwork of the protagonist in that neat mid-1980s style. And that's the hardest part, I'm not artistically gifted myself to make one.
Looks pretty dandy and certainly HQ! I like it :)
I'm surprised how good this one turned out to be, I still do most of my graphic design in Paint Shop Pro 7, a very old piece of software at this point. As of the artwork itself, I've managed to commission a deviantART user pommiie (https://www.deviantart.com/pommiie) since I think she would get the 1980s anime style right, especially with the reference I provided her. I'll post the completed label here once its done.
Next up will be Blade Buster, the design of this one is gonna be modelled after Star Soldier Famicom cart.
Any updates on the Iris Missions label?
Has anyone made a custom label for Pac-Man Championship Edition yet? Kindly point me in the direction where I can purchase a couple of labels if so... :)
Quote from: famiac on December 08, 2020, 06:01:37 pmAny updates on the Iris Missions label?
It's almost done... emphasis on "almost". I forgot to tell the artist to draw the character art with a horizontal background, instead she went with square proportions which is hard to fit onto a label that is horizontal. So it's up to me to do something about it. Stay tuned at the moment.
EDIT: Finito... I think.

Quote from: tombo72 on December 13, 2020, 10:56:37 amFor the Famicom? I quickly came up with this. Can make a die cut peel and stick label.
(https://i.imgur.com/QoBzyiy.jpg)
That's pretty sweet! Are the dimensions for a Namco cart or a standard Nintendo-manufactured cart? If it's for a Namco cart, all that would be missing is an End-Label.
Thanks again for doing that :)
So here's the end result. Cartridge with the original game for comparison included.

Thanks to MaarioS (VegaVegas) for priting the label and putting this repro cart together.
I'm looking for Famicom cartridge labels for Castlevania 3, Just Breed and King of Kings. (I made English language translations)
If I get hi-res scans, can someone point me to sticker printing? (Preferably a service or person as I don't want to buy a printer)
Anyone still have a Blade Buster label? Earlier post of it isn't showing up for me.
(https://www.romstation.fr/romstation/resources/games/nes/cover/39871.jpg?1456758749)
Does anyone here do custom NES label printing with laminate seals? I'd like custom labels for RoboCop vs. Terminator and California Raisins:
https://www.retrogamecases.com/shop/nes/robocop-versus-terminator/
https://www.retrogamecases.com/shop/cartridge-labels/nes/california-raisins-the-grape-escape/
I'd prefer not to have the "Official Seal of Quality" on these, but that's not a big deal. I also don't want them to be stickers; I like to use photo glue so I can adjust the labels after I place them. With stickers, it's easy to mess up.
Am I right in thinking someone made a small program to make your own pulse line labels or did I dream it?
Hi,
I am looking for the fonts used in this label for the following texts:
- Family ComputerTM (in Japanese)
- HVC-ZL
- Copyright 1986, 1992
- MADE IN JAPAN
Does anyone have a link to those fonts? Otherwise do people manually trace these elements when creating their custom labels?

In the end I found everything I needed and finished my project of making a custom Metroid Famicom cartridge.
