Ive tryed to get a answer in another topic, but ill try it here now.
If i have only the cartridge of a game, can i put the scan on the 1st spot (front box)? I see some in the database that have that, and some not.
-
Technically speaking, no. There are exceptions however. Games that didn't have a box would be acceptable, such as certain pack-in games, etc.
-
My suggestion in the other thread was on spot 1 and 3 the scan of the cart. I dont know how admins feel about that, so i ask before adding them.
-
Doesn't the guideline specify to use a screenshot of the Start Screen in the event of no box art?

For PC games.
For games that were released as cart or disc-only (stuff like Super Mario / Duck Hunt, or this (http://vgcollect.com/item/40146)) the media alone is fine.

Hey OP,
Please don't start doing that. 99% of games were released in a box/case of some sort. I got out of my way to find the box art on the net. ;)
If you only have the cart of the game, just add that to the "comments" section of the game when you add it to your collection. That's what I do.

More like this game http://vgcollect.com/item/36105 (http://vgcollect.com/item/36105) there is a box, but most wont have them cause they are hard to find.
Then i found this http://vgcollect.com/item/30154 (http://vgcollect.com/item/30154) and its dub http://vgcollect.com/item/32199 (http://vgcollect.com/item/32199). Two ways of adding the scan.
