Welcome back to the community showcase! I've got another batch of awesome creations from our Discord members to share. This time we've got some incredible hardware builds, beautiful card designs, and even some video demos.

Xander Hunt​

Lazarus Pascal cover tool

Xander Hunt wrote a custom tool in Lazarus Pascal (huh??) for generating card label images. Always cool to see people building their own software tools for Zaparoo.

Cards generated with the tool

And here are some cards generated with that tool.

Schlarp​

Game cards

Schlarp put together this cool collection of game cards made with the Zaparoo Designer.

tangocat​

Cutting labels

tangocat shared this nice example of using low cost tools to make quality labels. A corner cutter and some scissors go a long way with labels from the Designer.

BigBlue709​

Switch case with custom cover

BigBlue709 is back with another repurposed Nintendo Switch case featuring a custom printed cover insert. These hold NFC cards really well and look great on a shelf.

Thwonp​

Thwonp has done something sick here. They've converted an old Apple Superdrive to have an NFC reader inside. You insert the card into the disc slot! It's connected to an iMac running Batocera. The whole build is incredibly clean.

kertgartner​

kertgartner put NFC tags inside NES Mini carts and is using them to launch games in Batocera. I love this, can't wait to see it complete.

whtafck_remix​

Holographic vinyl cards

whtafck_remix printed their Designer labels on holographic vinyl. They came out looking fantastic.

Anime0t4ku​

New cards

Welcome back from the holiday Anime0t4ku! Here's some new cards from them.

Kimberley​

Kimberley has knocked it out of the park with their first batch of cards! They're printed on matte vinyl with a holographic sheet stuck on top. They look amazing.

Here are a few older submissions from the showcase gallery that deserve some extra attention:

If you've made something cool with Zaparoo, share it in the Discord! I love seeing what people come up with and I want to keep sharing here.
