For those of you who don't know me I'm Dijital from CAG forums, one of the many members of the CAG family.  And that is how I found about this project site, I've seen some AMAZING works and would love to know how I too can do anyone have any STEP-BY-STEP tutorials or feel like tutoring a complete n00b.

More or less just a standard one for the Playstation one games and how to do it in general like the custom art work and so forth.

As far as standard CD case games are concerned [ PS1, Dreamcast ] simply scanning the front and backs at 300dpi as all that is required ... maybe apart from cleaning up creases etc. Printing them back out at 300dpi should result in a perfectly sized cover.

Mookyjooky can probably tell you absolutely heaps about creating custom cases as he's doing that at present with Saturn games so that they'll fit into slim DVD cases. Feel free to look at the Saturn area on this board as he has all sorts of good info already there ......

Here is a guide for DS cases: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=37.0

The methods are similar for any case really. I need to get the rest of the templates/resources up for the other platforms. Been busy with console launches this month.
