    @hydef - Just to let you know that there's a 2 pixel wide blue line down the right hand side of SEGA Rally Championship image...but they are great reconstructions! (good to see the left hand SEGA PAL logo all cleaned up)
  2. EASTWOOD2002
    Thanks for the call out @hydef...your reconstructions are spot on! May (or may not) be of any use to you if you do get the urge to add to the EU Dreamcast pics, but I pulled together a full set below (albeit before the likes of Topaz / Grok where around - so more "tidied up scans" than crisp). https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/4431-dreamcast-fronts-backs-logos-spines/

    Slightly sooner than I had expected, but all 60 G&W fronts, backs, spines & logo's - in 8K - uploaded below 😁 I'll start on the regional sets soon (but I've re-uploaded the 2023 4K PowerPoint versions below, but this time zipped by Distributing company....which will make it easier to replace longer term)

    mini update: Can't believe it's been 1.5 months since last update, but life and work took over meaning slower progress. These are complete: micro vs. systems - the black on the controllers seems to have depth shading Table Top - finish replacing French for English on units Re-cut "G&W", "Multi Screen", "Wide Screen" and "Panorama Screen" logos Now I'm into the "thorough checking" phase, including: All LED's - check background colours are consistent behind the black masks Mario Bros (Multi Screen Wide) - re-do logo Table Top - re-do rotated G&W logos on tops Any games with U.S.P. need the "2"s looking at DK Hockey - re-do logo Climber - re-do logo Ideally hoping to get this all done and uploaded by end of September

    Quick 1st July update: Tops + Bottoms complete (I know we can't use them in LB/BB, but if ever we can, I don't want to come back and have to do them again) Left sides complete Above two meant that I needed to do full box artwork to get the sides / tops / bottoms / front + back to match at the joins (see Zelda example below, noting that the original is 10kx11k) To Do: Right sides (was hoping that it may be a simple "rotate 180" on the lefts, but the tops/bottoms weren't that simple) Thorough spot check Submit main pack of all 60 Work on regional variants

    Quick update on first pass (2nd pass to start after tops, and really is my chance to look at each game individually and "eye ball" that I think its OK): Fronts - complete (inc. re-doing all the LCDs / LEDs all over again, and re-working the backgrounds to more closely match the original box artwork) Backs - complete (I've had to use a little AI on the Crystal Screen cartoons, but hopefully looks OK...noting there are not really any good scans out there) Sides - complete (had to re-create the Crystal Screen boxes in full in Photoshop to get the continuous shading across the sides and - still to be done - tops) Logo's complete (all 4000PX wide - taster below) Tops - to do 2nd Pass - to do Submit "MAIN" fronts / backs / sides / tops / logos Start on the variants (French, German, Australian, UK and Argentinian boxes...possibly look at re-creating the Time Out North American versions of the Silver Series)

    I happened to be updating my MAME set when I noticed ClrMAMEPro update an svg file... I couldn't believe it...the LCD files are in the MAME game files! When I did my PowerPoint recreation in 2021/2022 I checked the MAME Artwork files and couldn't find the LCDs - and I never thought they'd be in the game files (I thought they were dumps only). So to date I've been running MAME, changing the video options to screen only, doing a screen capture, modifying the screen shot then vectorising it. Whilst a tough call, I decided I needed to go back through my 2026 Photoshop recreations over the last 6 weeks and re-do the LCDs again using the proper MAME svg's. It is very annoying TBH - I had already completed the 60 fronts and 40 backs. On the plus side, I noticed on the Wide Screen series that a few of the game box fronts have parts of the LCD backgrounds in front of the LCD...so I've just completed working through that. So the Silver Series, Gold Series and Wide Screen Series fronts are now re-done (again). Need to re-do the Wide Screen series backs, the Multi Screen Series (that'll be tough) and the rest before I'm back to where I was last....definitely put me back a week or more. Anyway, a quick example of Octopus unit re-done below (that took me a whole day!):
  10. EASTWOOD2002
    Still working through the box backs. Mario's Cement Factory and Manhole (both the New Wide Screen series). The little cartoons are tough...took hours to re-cut them.
  11. EASTWOOD2002
    Pretty much there on the (tall) MULTI SCREEN box backs (Pinball back example below). Slow progress as all the letters in the text need spacing differently.
  12. EASTWOOD2002
    Tackling the backs now. Here's BALL, MANHOLE and PARACHUTE (I'll not post every one I do here....don't want to bore people with all the backs).
  13. EASTWOOD2002
    Mario The Juggler (logo re-cut)
  14. EASTWOOD2002
    To Do list now looks like: micro vs. systems - the black on the controllers seems to have depth shading Table Top - finish replacing French for English on units All LCD's - maybe layer mask the grey backgrounds for consistent background colour Maybe Re-cut "G&W", "Multi Screen", "Wide Screen" and "Panorama Screen" logos
  15. EASTWOOD2002
    Pinball Japanese variation (text only)
  16. EASTWOOD2002
    G&W Pinball logo recreated from scratch (took way longer than expected)
  17. EASTWOOD2002
    Crystal Screen logos finally recreated:
  18. EASTWOOD2002
    Super Mario Bros. Special below. I think that's all the main 60 Game & Watch....just need to work through my To Do list before submitting them all.
  19. EASTWOOD2002
    Safe Buster, Gold Cliff, Zelda and Black Jack:
  20. EASTWOOD2002
    Current "To Do" list once I've re-created all 60 (to do before I start on the box backs / sides / logo's) Silver Series - check Fire's blue colour Multi Screen All - bottom clasp (maybe needs to be extended to left 1 or 2 pixels) New Wide Screen - DK Jr - check red on Logo (maybe darker?) Super Mario Bros Special - re-cut ribbons Super Mario Bros Special - check ribbon ends Table Top - DK Jr - check brown on cartoon (maybe lighter?) Panorama Screen - Mario's Bombs Away - check logo red Panorama Screen - Popeye maybe misaligned compared to rest Panorama Screen - Snoopy maybe misaligned compared to rest Super Color - maybe misaligned (should Nintendo be central?) Super Color - Crab Grab - is the box colour too dark? Crystal Screen All - re-cut logo Crystal Screen All - maybe create a black LCD window (as opposed to drop shadow) Crystal Screen - Balloon Fight - maybe thicken LCD characters Crystal Screen - Balloon Fight - model number letters too thin Multi Screen - Pinball - re-create logo micro vs. systems - Donkey Kong 3 / Hockey - re-cut DK logos (also used else where) New Wide Screen - Mario The Juggler - re-cut logo micro vs. systems - the black on the controllers seems to have depth shading Table Top - finish replacing French for English on units All LCD's - maybe layer mask the grey backgrounds for consistent background colour Maybe Re-cut "G&W", "Multi Screen", "Wide Screen" and "Panorama Screen" logos
  21. EASTWOOD2002
    Squish and Bomb Sweeper. Mainly cleaned up the front artworks, but re-created the Pocketsize/Game & Watch artefact and the game logo's.
  22. EASTWOOD2002
    Crystal Screen games below. Definitely WIP! (but I am making progress). I've isolated the plastic unit and split the border, buttons and LCD surround so that I can perspective warp the front and LCD in). The Crystal Screen logo probably needs to be made from scratch. Getting there though.
  23. EASTWOOD2002
    Spitball Sparky and Crab Crab
  24. EASTWOOD2002
    Donkey Kong Hockey
  25. EASTWOOD2002
    Donkey Kong 3. I have noticed that the controllers seem to have some depth shading on the black circle parts. I'll look into that.
