Ironically it’s more noticeable as is, because there’s a gap that shows it’s been tampered with.

Officially, it would be laid up this way. I do this with Nintendo as part of my job and it’s something I’d expect to see, but I’m not married to it if it’s just me.

I’m not too fussed about it really if people think it’s unnecessary – but please, please put the maintenance on one line and the URL call to action on the line below. That would read much better. So, like this:

NEED HELP WITH INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE?
VISIT WW.PLANETVB.COM

(I couldn’t center text – but center the lower line in the red box I’d say. Also only WW. here as the website turned it into a hyperlink and changed formatting with three)

yes it’s not actually necessary to type it in, I never do – but it helps people realise at first glance that it’s a URL.

So, it’s just a readable thing, but if yopu space it properly on the area you don’t need that eitehr really. It needs adjusting though.

That Gundam is about a 30 minute drive from my hometown 🙂

Just insert a higher res VB logo (from the site) for that part. I know it’s obvious, but it should read:
http://www.PlanetVB.com
(without the underline that the site adds)

It’s generally best to write URLs that way, as they read better, but have a think about it. It’s as if people see the www. and know it’s a website, but then the eye dismisses the www. so it doesn’t look ugly. Upper and lower case mix is best practice too.

Guys DOESBENFOLDFIVE made a great looking manual cover. I’d suggest it’s best to go with that, after he’s finished te last bits. I’d repost here but I’m on my iPhone so it’s difficult…

What does the name do?

Looks good to me, but I’m no expert on US manuals.

It would be really good if you could post this in the other thread by the way, to keep things together 🙂

To be honest 1 is fine for me I think.

I’ll upload the manual when I get a chance to edit it this week. I’ll get it done in enough time don’t worry, let’s let the list fill out a bit more first.

As am I, but at this rate unfortunately I’ll probably have to invest in a hardcase instead.

Please take my slot – I only need one realistically 🙂

Hedgetrimmer, as we’re both in the UK – what’s the chance of making an extra one to order? If you did that, do you have an idea of what the costs might be? I’d be very interested in that, it looks like a great case from the render.

I’m reluctant to buy one of the US Blockbuster cases as the current going price (plus shipping to England) isn’t really an attractive deal.

Dammit I wish you could edit posts on here. I grabbed the file and will reupload later on.

I’m working on a Japanese box and manual, for what it’s worth.

No offence, but I’m really not keen on the US artwork for the VB range.
I’d still like a US box and manual example though and this is a great one.

I’ll touch up the manual if someone can host up on another site.

I’ll also see if I can get a card insert template made, it should just be a one sheet and some glue that anyone can make (or get a donor from an unwanted box game like I do).

I’m 100% committed to 2 ideally, in case one gets lost or damaged, they’re only $10-12!

However, if 2 is a no-no then please add me to the list for one.

Thanks,

Luke.

I’d be interested – what’s the box design?

I could use one!
I don’t live in the US but would gladly pay shipping…

If you look in the Released Games section:
http://www.planetvb.com/modules/games/?r

Then head to the Multimedia tab, scroll down and you’ll see audio rips for most of them, but they’re separate files and I’m not sure how complete they are.

Thanks again for your rips 😉

Like a scat movie? Yeah it’s still on.

Ok, here you go, as if looking at the front of the virtual boy image on the largest face of the box, the right way up.

I’ve measured with care, on multiple faces and sides but I can’t guarantee everyone else’s is the same, or that mine’s not warped etc.

Width = 375mm (could be 374…)
Height = 315mm
Depth = 150mm

Card is 1.6mm thick from what I can tell.

I’d measure the inners as well but they’re so warped it’s really not worth it.
You have the card thickness so you can calculate the inner space if you really want exact measurements.

Hope that helps, looking forward to seeing what it is you’re making!

If you use Photoshop to draw in ten colours, you can always fill the colours with the same dither pattern as Chris made though right? It’s best practice I’d say – it’s what I was trying to suggest all along.
