So, for those of us who are already on the list: what kind of time frame are we looking at for getting our boxes?

I need the manual cover to be finished before we do anything. Then I have to ship a box + manual to him so that will probably take a month since it is international. If someone wants to ship a box and manual to him that is located in the US that could speed up the process greatly. So it is going to take awhile.

Can you translate that, please?

Do you really need a translation?

Buy a Super Nintendo get a free Virtual Boy

Too many different opinions on this. I say we just go back to how it was originally with the phone number.

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)

The problem with this is you are getting farther and farther away from an official manual. The whole point is to make a very subtle change that is hardly noticeable.

NO WWW.

I spent some time working on the cover. Does anyone have a problem with this?

Just for the record. I am only arranging for these to be made available. I am not taking any money and I will not be shipping these to anyone. I will also not see a single cent of profit… Actually I will be about $40 in the hole.

That was the box I was planning on using but I will have to ask the creators permission first. This box will be very high quality. If anyone is interested please copy and add your name to the list but only if you are 100% committed.

I am the original creator, and please, feel free to use my camera ready box art… just be sure to leave my copyright notice on there. It’d also be spiffy if I got a freebie out of this. 😉 (but only if you want to)

Make sure you also get the cutpath file so you can know how to die-cut the box.

Thank you so much for making such an awesome box. I am having a professional make these so I will pass on the cutpath file to him. I would love to give you a freebie but I am not personally making them and am already out some expense by providing these to the forum.

Any input about which one people prefer would be great. There are manuals like the black background version for example Jack Bros doesn’t have the red background so it would be acceptable.

Just so there is no confusion the prices listed in the first post are box only. the manual if it works out will be an additional expense.

This is just to see how it would look with the regular background. If we wanted to do this someone with a lot more talent than me would need to make it.

I think it might be smart to just reuse the graphics from the box and just completely start over. I made one in like 2 mins from just cut and pasting. I’m not sure if anyone likes it considering it looks quite different than official manuals but if someone could Photoshop that red background I bet it would look pretty good or maybe it looks ok as is. Obviously it is a very crappy job just for example.

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.

Sounds good. Thanks for working on the manual. I circled what needs to be fixed on the attached image. You should have plenty of time. I still need to send in a box and manual so he can get all the dimensions and everything perfect.

Please keep adding numbers to the list if it goes past 20. I don’t think we will get there but there is even more discounts at 50+.

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).

You sure you don’t want 2 of them? I only put 10 spots out of laziness.

At this rate we should be able to hit 20 pretty easily

I am aware of a manual that has already been designed but it would have to be edited to match the cover for it to be acceptable. The ball needs to be removed like the cover and the Bound High text needs to be touched up, It is very pixelated and has white jaggies all around it.

Here it is. If someone with some Photoshop ability can work on it we can definitely get a manual to go with it for some extra cost.

Anything from inside of the box? (like a reproduction of the cardboard holder or instruction book)

No cardboard holder or instruction book but I could have a manual made if someone could design it. As far as I know the creator of the box never did.

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,

You can order as many as you like.
