Title: Request - Japanese PlayStation DVD Template
Post by: tylerbgood on May 20, 2017, 11:42:04 AM

I was wondering if anyone here has put together a PlayStation template for JPN releases? The stickied thread with the templates hasn't been updated in 5 years, so I didn't know if perhaps someone had put one together in the time since. I tried using the search function, but didn't come up with much. I see Mel was asking for raws for Japanese PS games at one point, so maybe she built a template? I know the front and spine are easy enough to put together, but the back has a number of icons for memory cards, # of players, region, etc. They mostly match the US icons but there are some variations, and of course the text is in Kanji. If nobody has one, I'll be sure to post whatever I come up with.

Is there are more updated template list somewhere that includes CGC and 3DS case templates and working thumbnails? Maybe that's another thing I could do?

I think the whole template section needs an overhaul.  I'm not sure if many of them are the most recent versions with vectored logos..

It definitely does. Most of the templates don't have vector art, and some have considerable quality issues as well. I'll start collecting what I can find in the forums and box accounts, organize it, and then ask for contributions from other users (especially the power users with well honed custom templates) Then we can pin a new, updated template list for users to peruse.

And while we're on the subject of problematic templates, I just noticed the SNES vertical template I've been using has a bit of an issue. The yellow dots down the right side of the cover aren't properly distributed down the length of the side. They only get about halfway down the gray logo but should travel almost to the bottom. Does anyone have a template they could share with that fixed? I can post an example if my explanation is confusing.
