Very nice modification; I noticed one thing about your final artwork though. The horizontal "Genesis" text on the spine is too big; it bleeds slightly onto both panels.
great video thank you you helped me so much i have seen all your vids and have been a fan for some time ever since the nes and gamecube mod great video keep going :)
You got me into modding and collecting retro gaming things. I found a Sega Genesis Nomad the other day with Shadow Runner in the cartridge slot, I found it in the "throw away" pile of junk in the back of the Goodwill. It takes a 9V DC plug in so I found one and plugged it in but something is wrong with the soldering I think because it didn't power on. When I gently move the power adapter like a joystick in either direction the power flickers on and off. Awesome uploads, keep em' coming!
@Herc0gs Just a regular cheapo Canon inkjet printer. Just make sure the settings are set to glossy photo paper and highest quality. The printer will then take it's time to give you a nice quality image.
@Herc0gs yeah u need a printer with settings for glossy paper or that happens u also need to let it dry before u touch it i like to use semi gloss i find glossy to shiny if u cant get semi gloss try matte that also works great but if your printer does not have settings for these types of paper u may just want to use plain paper
@SpinTheDemon I highly recommend :). The best custom boxart I could find was from digitpress. I'll be finishing off the rest of my carts later this week. You should post a vid of your collection when it's done.
@vestibual Haha, I was wondering when someone would ask :P . The music in the first half of the vid is the Bayonetta climax remix of the After Burner theme. The second half of the vid is the climax remix of Space Harrier :) .
Smart idea, i just keep my loose games in a plastic drawer tower. Annoying how some games dont have end labels so this would work perfect if anyone had a suitable set of cases to mod.
Ive got a fat dvd case that i think would be good as it would be like the original box/case but plastic and the cover would be around the right size and there is space for instructions. if i knew what these cases are called i would say!
@crunchinjelly They're just slightly bigger than Mega Drive carts so don't fit properly. Also, original Mega Drive boxes are hard to find in good condition and cost even more than those UGCs.
nice edit to that art work

What kind of printer did you use? Ink or Laser? Cause I've noticed that when I use ink on glossy paper - the picture gets all smudgy and stuff.

That's pretty ingenious, I'm gunna sort out some of my 32x games now:) Lol at Cosmic Carnage.
What's the theme in the background though? it sounds like street fighter but I can't put my finger on what it is and it's starting to wind me up...?
