Post by 2dvertical »

Cover art for case? I unlocked it from instant brain and would rather have a cover of dodonpachi to put im. Or maybe such a thing already exists? Ty

I might be able to do something that looks like the Sega Saturn version's art if you like...

It should only take a few minutes using something like Gimp though.

You can see the Japanese kanji symbols on the cover there.
They represent whole words or something.

OK...because I'm not a total jerk here is a quick mockup. If you like I can send you the Gimp file to edit more yourself.
The scans need to be manually touched up since they are kind of poor quality.

Thank you Pixel_Outlaw (and others), Gimp was somewhat easy to figure out. Nice suggestion though as I am out of free trials on most software :D

Here is what I came up with; could have been more ntsc-j authentic but good enough for me, I could not find crisp enough images for Rated Cero etc...

And an arcade stick art I made

Gimp's fairly good for being open source software.
If you're really feeling spry you can write extensions for it using Script fu (actually just Scheme) or Python.
Gives me an excuse to write in Scheme every once in a while. :D
