3121px X 2089px
would be sufficient for the dimesions/size of the box.

EDIT: and if you wish to know, the spine should be 164pxs X 2089pxs,
the front and back parts should equally be 1476pxs X 2089pxs.
This may need to be adjusted slightly. When you print it off, this will translate automatically to Centimeters as far as I'm concerned.

I did say you may have to adjust it by a few pixels, remove a few or add a few untill the printing goes perfect, the dimesions allways change by a tiny bit so try experimenting more!

The specifications will change according to what type of plastic box you're using or obvisoulsy what console.
So I can't pin-point an wholefully accurate dimesion, however for a normal box, the ones I said were about right, I know this because they are the ones on most of my games.

Well, I did what you said, and it didnt work. I even measured out the actual size of a box and it didnt work. Nothing is working.

Ok copy this and reconstruct yours on top of it.
That should do it.

The data area passed to a system call is too small.

When I clicked the link, thats what it said. Sorry I didnt say that, but I thought you would know what I'm talking about.

PS: I use photoshop. What else would I use? GIMP is so confusing :P

Allright I assumed you were talking about the dimesions going wrong in Photoshop and you got a weird message.
The link was working yesterday, must've died. It had the site name on the link anyway :p

This should work, I just meant you should edit your box on top of it if you had a lot of trouble cropping and resizing things the normal way.

I like the idea...Question: Are you planning on putting the printout on an actual box, if you are that is genius...I might do this too.

ok what you can try to do is open the boxart in "windows picture and fax viewer" click print, check mark the box art, choose the printer, and then choose full page fax and that should work
