If G.projector isn't working for you, you could try Flex Projector.
Disclaimer: I have never used it and don't know if it has the features you require, nor do I know whether or not it's easy to use.
I just came across this:

if you track back to the root directory, there are other planetary maps available too.

Hi guys! So I'm back at it trying to make this map again after focusing on school for a while! Unfortunately, G. Projector has still been malfunctioning for me on my computer and although Flex Projector is a great source, I am too much a novice to really figure it out. As such, I was wondering if someone could do me a favor who has G. Projector. I would like this map to go through a Sinusoidal projection, interrupted at 30 degrees. Please make the weight for both the graticule and border 0 (basically no lines). Lastly, if you could save the map as a jpeg with maximum quality and a width of 3769 I would really reaaaallly appreciate it! Thanks everyone for all your help, this has been a great community!

Hey there, just saw your request and went ahead for you:
Europa_sinusoidal.jpg
JPEG, max (10) quality, 3769 width, and 30 degree "gores". Hope that's what you're looking for! Incidentally, I had a problem with G.Projector on my computer as well (I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium on a fairly new desktop computer); I re-downloaded G.projector directly from the NASA website, and now it works for me. I don't even have to run it in compatibility mode or as admin. Hope that helps!

this is great! we need more people making globes of their worlds! now, if only i can find a reasonably-priced, large blank sphere...
Thank you x 1,000,000 kestrelgrey! That came out perfectly! I'll try to redownload G. Projector as well and see if I can't get it to work for when I do the other Jovian moons. Really, though, thank you!
@vorropohaiah: this is the site I think I will eventually use for the globes I want to make. I haven't ordered from them before, and I don't know if the prices are "reasonable," but they are some of the only people who make large spheres in light weight material! : P

Oops, sorry about that!
Balls or Spheres
i also found this, though im sure the globes arent as precise - 300mm Polystyrene Styrofoam Poly Modelling Balls Spheres Round White Craft Shape | eBay
@ Vorropohaiah - no problem, glad it worked out. It didn't take long at all, so if you need any others done, feel free to ask - I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for updates (really looking forward to how this turns out! Post pictures! ^-^v), and I can render out those sinusoidal projections for you. Hope you do get G.Projector working, though, it is a fantastic program! And good luck.
