I have two Dreamcast console packages coming from the States ..... one of which looks to contain original games Carrier, NHL 2K  & Hoyle's Casino.

Not many I know but it's a start. I have hundred's of Iso's but as I've got older I've tended to gravitate towards original games ... especially when they are a fraction of the original price. So I'll be picking up lots more ... more so than for the N64 at this point.

Ooh, I need a case for Carrier, as mine came in a generic EB slip case. You're doing a great job just as you did with the N64 covers. I know you're not a fan of doing DC games in DVD cases, just curious if anyone out there might take Valeman's scans and do DVD style cases for them?

Sounds like we may have a volunteer....     ;D

Oh I'm certainly planning on making an attempt...I'm just hoping someone out there with some sort of editing skill will beat me too it  ;)

LOL ..... don't look at me.

I'm sort of a "stick to originals" fan in regard to covers. I like CD cases for those games that come in them .. Dreamcast, PSX etc .. but I do admit that the cases for N64 are much better at protecting the carts/manuals than the original cardboard boxes provided by Nintendo. The big difference here when creating covers for those is that the original artwork is already optimally sized and shaped to fit the cases .. so no real mangling/ stretching is being done to the original art.

So I can't really see me having any interest in converting anything to DVD cases although I watch with interest the results of others taking up the challenge. Some good ones have already been submitted.

ta-da!  With a lot of time, I'm usually pretty good with making customs.  I usually do better much customs than originals (due to the fact that I usually have some ok artistic vision and my clean-up skills aren't too great, so I'll just leave that to Valeman).  Only problem being that I have a million other things to do before I can even get around to doing these...that, and I still need to finalize my personal template for DVD covers(which I've been on forever).  I think I may finally have it though, to the point where everything is very nicely detailed and should match up perfectly next to the current gen.  See here:
