They're just a solid color with a small hand drawn screen cap of the game. No fun.

Attached Image: 1318525803-main.jpgI personally like the one that I created. I think that this would be alsome if someone could program this for the 2600. I would buy a copy and my nintendo would never see the light of day again!

Maybe, but I have about 20 activison carts that could use some nice labels.

I think what you need to do is add in the abiltiy to do 5200 and 7800 labels in general. It would make things more easier for homebrew developers trying to make labels for their games. It would be very easy to add the 7800 label option seeing how both 2600 and 7800 carts where both the same size and shape.

Also, seeing all these custom labels I couldn't resist doing one myself.

So... you can't change the Text font at all can you?
I was thinking of making an endlabel, but want to match the text font.

This is completely awesome. The popularity of this label maker will spread well beyond the Atari fan community. People will make their own cart images just for the fun of it.

Me, too; matches the sig perfectly.

/edit Dr Manhattan, we must have posted at the same time. The lable maker made national news, as far as gaming goes-- joystiq and a bunch of others covered it.

It's viral :thumbsup:

But the Font still is not different.
What I mean is, if I want a Sears Text or Sears Picture end label font, it will look a bit different then the Atari end label font.

(For example: Basketball. Also... not to mention Text end labels are a lot different in some cases than the picture labels... the atari ones have a box around the words....)

I'm just trying to learn! LOL I want to be able to create pictures and labels for reproduction carts in my collection. I want to get them close to accurate, (but I want to put a big 'R' or something on there to show it is a REPRO). Perhaps like Atari had a P on the end labels to show it was PAL... I want to do something similar.
