Need a huge favor, scanning carts
« on: January 18, 2012, 06:40:46 PM »
I need a huge favor.  I'm working on creating a template label for SNES and SFC cartridges for me to print.  Trouble is no one on the internet has a high resolution clean scan of a Super Nintendo cart (front or back) or a Super Famicom cart (front or back).

I'm working on creating new labels for my SNES/SFC carts and thus I need a good quality source scan into a file that isn't compressed. 

Anyone? 

*edit*
Here's a hugely scaled down version of what I've recreated from scratch.  I shrunk it by 85% to be better visually on a forum.

The good will by my place has SNES carts sometimes.
If I get my hands on one I'll scan in the label and post it here.

Thank you.  The update to this topic is myself and someone else are working on becoming "experts" in restoration of SNES/SFC carts.  Right now we are getting together some preliminary SNES cart front labels together as well as I've made a good starting template.  I'll be checking into finding a good suitable color matching paint for both Super Nintendo and Super Famicom carts as well. 

The major thing I need right now are high resolution high dpi scans of a few SNES carts both front and back as level horizontally or vertically as possible so we can clean them up for reproduction. 

I'll be trying to find a local print shop to print the preliminary labels on shiny sticker paper with adhesive on the back.  I've got some donor carts I can use to test the labels on. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I could probably draw you a vector version in illustrator with relative ease when I have some time

Someone beat you to it.  ;)  The main thing I need are the cart label scans in high res/dpi for various games.

Yes, high res/dpi scans of the cart itself.  And if possible one scan of a back label in clean crisp shape.
