Title: PS1 "8-Disc Poly Case" Cover Thread
Post by: shenske on February 28, 2011, 08:41:37 PM
PlayStation1 - 8-Disc Poly Case Cover Thread

Like our covers on the site?  A little reluctant to seeing your favorite games that were originally in jewel cases in DVD form?
There are many reasons why people on the site like to convert their favorite games from the jewel cases to DVD cases.  The DVD cases are easier to come by, look nice on the shelf and the covers are easier to create being only one image.  Finding muliti-disc housing cases are also much easier to come by in DVD cases than the jewel cases. DVD cases are also more durable and ..... well you get the idea.

But what about the people who like the original cover art but don't want to see it butchered up and dissected for DVD case use?
There is a solution ...  "8-Disc Poly Cases"  Its a solid DVD like case case with similar deminsions to the original jewel cases. Nice thing is that it shares all the same positive perks are the DVD cases without the need to rework or cut apart the jewel case cover art.  The jewel case art should be an easy transformation to these new ploy cases, the only real work is just cleaning the cover image and creating a spine. I'll make it very easy for you guys when i make the template, it should only take a few minutes to make each new cover if the artwork is already clean.

What the cases look like and where to get them
You are welcome to Google the cases and find your own or you can try the sites that i have found.  Keep in mind that the cases must be the "8-Disc Poly Cases" in order to properly fit the covers in this thread. Do not I repeat DO NOT get the "6-Disc" , "12-Disc" or "24-Disc" versions of the cases as they will not fit the covers on this thread. The other cases are much wider than the "8-Disc Poly Cases."  The following are some stock photos of the cases directly from some of the sites that sell the cases.

Here is an example of what the covers could look like. These images are just Works In Progress and only took 2min a piece to make. After the template is complete it is not unrealistic to think that we can make cover that quickly (as long as the images are already cleaned up of coarse).
..............................new images to be added soon ................................

The case is actually ~15mm but thats pretty close to what I am looking for. I think it would be a good solution since it can hold up to 8 discs (we can put the instruction manual and other goodies in the blank sleeves or just remove them).

As always, opinions welcome!

Shenske, this is an AWESOME find! You think we could use retail jewel game scans to fit into these cases? I would TOTALLY go for that. Usually what I've been doing when I buy a beat up PS1/Dreamcast game, for example, is I'd buy a bunch of Memorex's empty jewel cases, disassemble the both of them and put the game's guts into the new jewel case, and they always come out looking brand new. The only thing is, I can only find them in small quantities and they're a little expensive.

This would be a killer alternative, though! They even look like they'd have enough space to fit all of the goodies from Lunar (PS1). Do we already have a template made up for cases like this?

Yes, that is the plan. The simplest covers to make that way!  ;D

Do we already have a template made up for cases like this?

If there is enough interest it would be pretty easy for me to convert my jewel case Dreamcast template over.
PS1 would also be very easy too  :)

Awesome. Just awesome. I never wanted to put my jewel case games in a DVD box. Something about it just didn't feel right. But this is an excellent idea, I'm behind you 100% on this one.

Whats the market on these cases? (I didnt read above just fill me in lol)
Title: Re: FAQ: Where can I buy cases?
Post by: shenske on February 28, 2011, 10:22:10 PM
I was looking on the site for the cases i just linked and it said the dimensions were 6" X 5.5" X .625". That is Height x Width x Spine correct?  It doesn't look like its taller than it is wide, huh?
Title: Re: FAQ: Where can I buy cases?

I love this idea, definatly, make a template. I'll look for places to find em cheaper.

Post by: shenske on February 28, 2011, 11:49:34 PM
I'll look for places to find em cheaper.

Ahah! Getting warmer! They have options to order in increments of 10 or 50 so this will probably be  the best option for everyone. This will make it ~ $0.50 per case  ;D
http://www.meritline.com/8-disc-dvd-multi-pack-black-case---p-45030.aspx

EDIT:
I just ordered 100 of the black cases. I'll make a template as soon as i get the cases  ;D

EDIT #2:
I am so stoked to get these cases, i'm going to fire through so many covers!!! PS1 & Dreamcast fans rejoice!!! (actually these would be great for just about every disc based game prior to 2000. Turbo Grafx, CDi, J-Saturn games  ;D)

Post by: scarmullet on March 01, 2011, 01:22:00 AM
I just had a good look at what holds the games in place. it looks like the same material used in sleeves that leaves this nasty smudge on the side of the disk. A real nasty one that I still cant get out. Sometimes it affects play, and sometimes its effects are not apparent.

Loving this - if you could incorporate the EU and JPN PS1 and DC templates into your updated templates that would make me a very happy chappy.

I just got an invoice in my email letting me know my cases should arrive by Friday! I'll make a new thread with some prototype covers as soon as I get them. I look forward to updating you guys in two days :)
Title: Re: FAQ: Where can I buy cases?
Post by: irvgotti452 on March 02, 2011, 09:44:10 PM
Will that include prototype template? :D I get mine on 3/5/11
Title: Re: FAQ: Where can I buy cases?
Post by: shenske on March 02, 2011, 10:37:08 PM
The template will likely not come for a few days after that ... on my next day off perhaps. Maybe Sunday or Monday?  I switched stores this past week with a promotion so i have to wait for the schedule to be made at both stores before i know what day i'll have off.

EDIT:
This will be the new thread for covers using the 8 disc poly case. I'll clean up the beginning post when i get my cases and some covers made up.

Now that people are behind this I'm really tempted to do so myself! Also, am I the only one that has a million jewel cases lying around? The only reason I chose DVD cases was that there were no inlays/manuals to worry about ;)

I might have one of these around actually, if I can find it. Mine's green and about 2-3 DVD cases thick IIRC
Title: Re: 1/2 size "8-Disc Poly Case" Cover Thread wip
Post by: shenske on March 03, 2011, 02:33:42 AM
You probably have a different case than the one shown in the thread. The spine on these are ~15.5mm and a standard width DVD case is 14mm. The one you are describing sounds much much thicker

Post by: soundwave925 on March 03, 2011, 03:17:52 AM
aw man, now i cant decide which cases to use. I have most of my ps1 games in ps2 cases already, Im soooo tempted to recase my whole collection with these........ :(

Yeah I just think it's a similar product. It has a clear sleeve and removable disc holders like these do. I think I tossed it when I realized I couldnt buy such cases in bulk though.  :-\

Good move on making this it's own thread, Shenske. I am SO EXCITED to see the forum's support for this new casing format!! I'm going to finish my UGC collection first, and then I'm definitely going to get to work on some of these!

Finally, I can say goodbye to jewel cases!! :D

Definitely want to use these for my turbografx 16 covers, because I love the design of Ektophase's template but wasnt too crazy about dvd cases for them, they weren't meant for the hucards and they just feel wrong to me. This is a genius idea, thanks Shenske! ;D

This man is a genius!! THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. Especially for people who want uniformity with their TurboGraphx games right next to their TurboGraphx CD games! Shenske, What would you say to developing a template for PS1, Dreamcast, and also TG16/TGCD? I can't think of anything else that would be appropriate for discs. Maybe Famicom Disks as well?

Dreamcast and PS1 will be my first priority making templates with the new cases.  Once i have the dimensions and template in place i'll leave it up to irvgotti452 ektophase to convert his TurboGrafX template over. I would prefer him to handle it since he made the dvd template you are referring to and we love so much.

Famicom Disk System? ... ehh, i'd prefer to keep them in the same style case as the NES carts. It'll look better on the shelf that way.

Just got my cases! Woo Hoo, i've been messing around with them and they are awesome!  The manual does fit in the cd spot and the soft cd holder sleeves are removable inside the case. I'll have a bunch of pictures in greater detail soon!  ;D

EDIT:
Dimensions of the insert are 3690 3670 x 1560, much more info to come!

EDIT #2:
The PS1 portion of the template is almost complete, Dreamcast may have to wait until tomorrow (or the next day) after work

Post by: Ektophase on March 05, 2011, 01:30:31 AM
Cool, yeah how are they? do they seem... not cheap?
what do they look like compared to a dvd and cd case.

I think some one said in a review that cds are tight in the sleeves is that true?

Title: Re: 1/2 size "8-Disc Poly Case" Cover Thread wip
Post by: shenske on March 05, 2011, 02:18:37 AM
1: No, i don't think they are cheap at all. Sure there are more durable dvd type cases out there but these are definitely not bottom of the barrel by any means. I'd rate them 7.5/10 on build quality.

2.  I'll have pictures up later when i connect my iphone to my computer. The case is slightly taller and about 1/2" deeper than a ds case if that gives you any idea.

3.  They are only tight if you decide to put the discs on both sides of each insert. If you only use one side of the insert it fits just fine.

Shenske my friend, I love you man :)

Though I will never replace my lovely blue PAL Dreamcast jewel cases,  the second your first PS1 cover pops up here, I'll try to get some of the cases and replace my PS1 jewel cases :) At least in Europe there are 3 or 4 different variations of the PS1 jewel case and it's driving me nuts because they look very odd on the shelf.

In your distant plans for the PS1 template, will you do a grey version to? Or just the black one. I think I would like to switch all my PS1 games to the grey template.
Title: Re: 1/2 size "8-Disc Poly Case" Cover Thread wip
Post by: noclass_nick on March 05, 2011, 04:15:38 AM
Being from a PAL region the grey template just doesnt seem right, grey template would have to be for the platinum version of the games, i think in the usa you got greatest hits insted with a green template?
Title: Re: 1/2 size "8-Disc Poly Case" Cover Thread wip
Post by: juan0tron on March 05, 2011, 09:58:44 AM
Ok now that I've seen your covers I have to get some of these cases on my hands! Sadly I'm still in need of a job to support this lovely addiction of mine ;)

Edit: You guys think these cases would be a suitable alternative to DS cases? If anything I think it might be easier to fit some bigger games in these (Warioware Twist/E-reader/Mario Party E) with a bit less modification needed than DS cases.
Title: Re: 1/2 size "8-Disc Poly Case" Cover Thread wip
Post by: Arseen on March 05, 2011, 10:32:53 AM
I'd say DS cases are better for two reasons.
1. They hold carts in place better
2. Less wasted space. Important for collertor freaks like me.

As much as I want to convert to these cases for my PS1, DC, and TG16 games, I think I might have to pass. Im not liking the idea of them beeing thicker than standard DVD cases so it would take more space that Im already getting short on.

If nobody wants to make a TG16/CD template for this, then I'd be more than happy to give it a shot.

Another very long day for me and tomorrow will be no different. The next two after that i will have a lot of free time though and i will work on  the Dreamcast template (if not more than that).  I will have another post in a day or two responding to everyones questions.

There PS1 template is on my box.net profile and the link is in my signature.  I'm trusting you with my template and am asking that you do not alter anything in it or add anything at this time.  There is still  a lot i need to add and am planning to do so.  If you would like to see something in the template let me know here and i will try my best to accommodate your request.  I also ask that you do not make a Dreamcast template with this template yet. Dreamcast holds a special place in my gaming heart and i would love to take care of that myself. If you can be patient for two more days i'll deliver the Dreamcast portion.

(sorry if there is are any errors in what i posted ... i just got back from the bar  :) )
Enjoy the template and make sure to use high quality images!!!

I tried to create uniformity between the cases, that way you can scan your eyes across and not have to deal with wacky fonts....but that's just me.

I prefer all the wacky logos. That's what makes looking at my spines interesting IMO.

On the topic of FF Chronicles I like keeping them seperate as FFIV and Chrono Trigger, but that's just my OCD seeing as I have Chrono Cross and the other FF games to match up with.

Well, I am working on separate covers for the two games. I am just giving the option of being able to put them together or separating them.

I prefer all the wacky logos. That's what makes looking at my spines interesting IMO.

On the topic of FF Chronicles I like keeping them seperate as FFIV and Chrono Trigger, but that's just my OCD seeing as I have Chrono Cross and the other FF games to match up with.

I really couldnt care for ffV i wish Chrono trigger came by it's self. Like its Japanese counterpart.
Top 5 on my fav's list of games.

I definitely agree. The only variations in spines should be for each games crazy logos. It's just what makes each game their own.

Other than that, I believe in complete spine uniformity.   ;)

Now if there was alot more room to work with, I would be willing to use logos.

 A 14mm spine isn't exactly a tight squeeze lol (look at every dvd cover on the site). That's a standard dvd size. What I did notice about these cases is that they are just slightly taller than a cd jewel case and stick out about 1/3 to 1/2 inch farther out on my shelf than regular dvd cases. But they are great! *facepalm* ordered another 50 *end facepalm*

MASSIVE ANSWERING POST!!!

In your distant plans for the PS1 template, will you do a grey version to? Or just the black one. I think I would like to switch all my PS1 games to the grey template.
For right now the plan is for a black spine only.  The only reason why i was making covers in the "Gray PSone" style was to differentiate it from the PS2 dvd covers. Now that the covers are already in a much different size case i personally don't see then need. I thought about it but it would be weird to have the top part of spine gray and the rest of the spine black (i like having a solid color for the spine if possible).


Edit: You guys think these cases would be a suitable alternative to DS cases? If anything I think it might be easier to fit some bigger games in these (Warioware Twist/E-reader/Mario Party E) with a bit less modification needed than DS cases.
No, the cases are a very different size than DS cases. It would stick out like a massive soar thumb sitting next to all of the other DS cases.  If i were you i'd stick to the double wide stacked ds cases for now.


Does any one know whereto get these in Europe?
Did neither of the places i linked offer to ship to Europe?


As much as I want to convert to these cases for my PS1, DC, and TG16 games, I think I might have to pass. Im not liking the idea of them beeing thicker than standard DVD cases so it would take more space that Im already getting short on.
Its only a millimeter different on the spine.  It would only take up one extra space every 14 games. Since it's much shorter than DVD cases it should save you much more space, especially if you decided to stack them on top of each other.


Ill probably whip up a concept soon. but you can also make one and we can see what we can come up with.
Personally i'd like it if you made a template for it since you did such an awesome job with the dvd template :)


I tried to create uniformity between the cases, that way you can scan your eyes across and not have to deal with wacky fonts....but that's just me.
Personally i like to use the actual logos from the game art.  I left both option in the template and it is your freedom to do as you please.


Instead of plain arial I suggest matching the font. Simple copy n paste job. ;D
EDIT: on the spine that is.  ;)
Even though its not a direct match i always use arial in my templates so there is no font dispacement. You are welcome to use whateve font or logo you would like  :)


But they are great! *facepalm* ordered another 50 *end facepalm*
Yeah i'm debating on getting another 100 cases (on top of the other 100 i already have) for myself  ;D



Whew .... Alright, next up more covers and pics of the cases  ;D

I was going to make some NTSC recreations of the japanese art for the standalone releases of Final Fantasy IV (http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/7659/finalfantasyivfront.jpg), V (http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/5898/finalfantasyvauc9.jpg), and VI (http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/9915/finalfantasyviaau2.jpg) for this template if nobody else minds. I'd started to do some jewel case ones a long time ago but never finished it up, so I already have most of the needed art.

After all, we don't have enough Final Fantasy covers on the site.  ;)

No offense but a different case type would be better suited for the "FAQ: Where can I buy cases?" thread or its own thread entirely.  I chose this type case since it could be bought in bulk, cheaply and accommodate as many discs any ps1 game has. I saw that type case on quite a few websites but with my personal experience they are kind of cheap.

This thread is exclusively for the 8-disc poly cases as the insert would not fit any other type of case

im not to worried About the manuals, ill keep those in the original jewel cases, in the closet.

i love the cover design for the 8 disc poly cases, so i think i may just squish the spines for mi own personal use, and any that i make for myself, i can just upload a version with the thicker spine.

case preference aside, this is the first project to really get me pumped in quite some time.

i love the dvd style cases, but they lack a certain nostalgia (for me at least)

Hey Shenske just wondering, but you dont think the template should have the ridges on the left side like retail PS1 games do you? to make it look closer to the original. Since youv made all these covers already, not sure if you wanna go back and stick that in or if you even care about it all. I'm not really bothered by it personally, just a thought though.

Shenske, you say you'll put the manual in one of the sleeves, my concern is ive come across games with manuals at least 1cm thick, and im doubting the sleeves can hold something that thick? what ya reckon.

BTW, im from down under, and im looking at doing this, myself, again after a failed attempt a year and a half ago due to lack of suppliers. Ive got a different brand that supplies, 1,2,4,6,8,12 disk cases, ive got some 6,8,12 samples but havent measured them up yet. Gona order some 4 disk ones and see if there a lil bit smaller and closer to the original cases ps1 games came in.

Yeah, the Alundra manual comes to mind. Do you have that game, Shenske? It came in one of those 4-disc jewel cases specifically because the manual was too thick to fit into a regular jewel case.

If it's too thick just put it in the back behind the sleeves. There's a lip around the edges, so it shouldn't fall out.

By the way, Ektophase, your tempate is LITERALLY just as I imagined it. It's like you took the ideal image right out of my head. GREAT job!!! This will definitely be my main method of storing my TG16/CD games from now on.

@Everyone

If you are able to get DS cases to house your GB, GBC & GBA games then do it! Don't mess around with these cases unlesss there is no other way to get the DS cases. If you live in the US then just get some DS cases from nintendo's shop.

I understand but they might be good replacements if you do not want to cut the DS case, i have around 35 GB and GBC games and i rather scale covers to a larger size than cut the ds cases, is there a template for the size? Even if the GB and GBC does not catch on, I would still like to use it. Most of the games i got do not have covers on the site. i have a few PS1 games ill make so im at least being helpful covers of including:
Interactive CD Sampler disc vol. 9, Castlevaina Symphony of the night, Twisted Metal 4, MDK, Crash Team Racing, Asteroids, Speed Punks, ANIMANIACS 10 pin alley STAR WAS Ep 1.

hey argobeat, just throwing this out there. Do you think the spine label would look better if it were matching the front label? Like instead of black have it be gold like the front. I personally think it would look more awesome but its your template. What do you think?
I'm totally gonna have to agree with this. Gold on the spine would look totally badass.

.... Errr ..... so i guess i barely mis-measured the size of the insert for the 8-disc poly cases. I ended up being about 10pixels off on the width.  Personally i just trimmed a bit off of the edge when i was cutting out the insert. It was almost entirely unnoticeable what i cut off.  It would be a PITA to resize everything and remake the template for 10pixels.  What do you guys think i should do?  I could always just add slight white lines to each side of the covers from here on out?

Wait, the cover is 10 pixels too WIDE, and not 10 pixels too THIN, right?

Honestly, I think that's fine the way it is. Shaving 5 pixels off of each side while cutting out the covers shouldn't be a big deal at all, and barely noticeable. As for the white lines, I think I would advise against it, because not everybody working with your template is going to know to do that. So for consistency's sake, I'd say just keep churning them out the way you have been. Maybe it might be a good idea later on, to update and fix the template, but I really don't think anyone will be bothered by a slight bit of modification needed to be done after printing.

Well since the jewel case inserts are the same size regardless of region they should fit with this case. I do agree with you that the NTSC style looks nicer but you can still use PAL scans for PAL covers.


geez the number of ps covers that have already been made (mostly by shenske) are mindblowing
Thanks, using retail scans to make covers are 10x faster than custom remade covers for dvd.  Don't get me wrong, i'll still make covers for dvd cases too but for now this is my priority.


yup - if only Shenske lived somewhere in Europe, and collected PAL games...................  ;D
Sorry, Colorado is a little far from Europe  ;)


Are you in need of PS1 raw scans?
Sure, i've decided to tackle my own personal list first though.  I noticed the other day that roughly 20% of the covers i have made so far (the entire time i've been with TCP) are not for games i own.  I was thinking that i should probably work on my own collection. I'll take requests with scans once i've completed all of my games. I'll get a list of scans i need soon  :)

As soon as Snowcone adds the case type i'll add them to the site.

I would have to make a PAL version of the template first before i made the Platinum Games collection.  Its not in my immediate plans to add the greatest hits and other variations yet.  Personally i would case all of my games in the black normal template style to maintain uniformity but i'll eventually add GH & PG variations.

These cases look amazing all of them.  They look insanely cool next to each other.  I love how the slightly wider then DVD spines make the artwork look.  I would love to use these for Turbo Grafx 16 chip games.  These wonderful cases would be great to store Virtual Boy games, the manuals and any other papers included in the original package.

But after re-reading the whole thread I only found one mention (that was never answered) of how the sleeves will affect the CD games.  I have read before (on TCP) that putting your CD games in sleeved CD binders  would eventualy scratch them.  How is this going to be different?  The sleeves on these cases appear to be made of the same material as the CD binders.

On another note... can you imagine the possibilities?

Pretty minimalistic. I wanted to use only original art, no advent children stuff.  I ended up liking the cover with out text on the back but if anyone would like a texted version I could make one.

All 39 of the covers i have made so far in this thread have been uploaded to the site. Also important to note they have all been reconverted to have the new template dimensions (that was a lot of work :P ). Hope you guys like them  :)

Wow, that must have taken a lot of time! Sheesh.

Great job on these, bud! I can't wait to see your Dreamcast template! Once that gets done, and the TG16/CD template is finally finished, I will definitely be buying at least 200 of these poly cases for my PS1, DC, TG16/CD collections. ;D Glad you found these cases, man! The TCP community is definitely showing an awesome amount of support for this new medium.

Just curious what kind of paper other people are using for these covers seeing as they are to long for letter paper. I have been using 11 by 17 inch, 67 lbs. cover stock which I cut lengthwise in half and get two covers out of a sheet.

Definitely. If you're printing these covers out at a print shop, like I am, just tell them to print on Legal sized paper (8.5 x 14). I use that for ever cover I've ever printed from this site, and I've never had a single problem.  ;)

I have been trying to get my blacks to print more blackness. It looks decent but not quite as deep as a commercial printing job. Looking for some larger glossy paper to try printing on but the stores around here don't have very much variety in anything larger than 8.5 x 11.
Title: Re: PS1 "8-Disc Poly Case" Cover Thread
Post by: SonicAdvDX on April 12, 2011, 01:04:13 PM
I always print on regular old legal paper. No gloss or anything fancy. It really depends on the printer, whether it's inkjet or laser, the printing resolution, etc. Are you printing at a print shop like Kinko's? If so, be sure to mess with the quality settings when you're about to print. I always try to print with a laser printer, 600dpi with "Fine" printing speed and "Best" image quality. Don't just open up the program and hit print, mess around with the settings and pretty much just change everything to the best quality possible.

I do my printing at home on an inkjet and always mess around with the settings. It may be my ink because I do refill my cartridges. Some day I will upgrade to a color laser.
Title: Re: PS1 "8-Disc Poly Case" Cover Thread
Post by: SonicAdvDX on April 12, 2011, 02:13:27 PM
I'm not sure that refilling your cartridges is the problem. I'm thinking that it's because it's an inkjet. A good portion of the people on this forum, myself included, would advise against using inkjets. Unless you have a badass inkjet, but from the sound of your experience with it, it doesn't seem to be very badass. :P  I would definitely hold off until you can get your hands on a laser, if I were you.

Great job on this Shenske! I'm in on this recasing of sorts.

I had one of these smaller cases a long time ago and completely forgot about it, such a better alternative. The version I had was a single disc that did fit the instruction manual and was the same width and depth as a normal DVD case just shorter. I like these ones on there as well because you can use the sleeves to store and protect the instruction book as well as store multidisc games in one case effortlessly.

The best part is that after I transfer all my discs to the smaller size, I will have extra DVD cases for the rest of my games that I have left over! The collection shall be coming closer to custom completion. If only I would stop getting new retro games....

I have always used standard paper for printing. Is that maybe why my UGC covers always seems slightly smaller? I compensated and just have a small white border around all my UGC games which works because my paper cutter skills are a bit lacking.

That's exactly why. When you print on standard paper, you have to scale it down to fit on the page. Only legal or bigger can fit a 100% sized cover print-out. I'm pretty sure that goes for all of the covers on our site, DS ones included.
Title: Re: PS1 "8-Disc Poly Case" Cover Thread
Post by: thesubcon3 on April 15, 2011, 08:50:56 AM
Well Son of a Batch! LMAO....

The DS and DVD cases have printed fine, maybe only losing 5-10 pixels, but the UGC ones were much smaller. I can't believe I never thought to search or ask about that. Now the question is, do I reprint 200+ covers or not.... lol  :o
I'll likely start the PS1 covers the right way and print all future covers properly. Being that custom covers is a favorite hobby of mine, I'll likely do it eventually.

The other issue is that I would have to re-download them all off the site and I know bandwidth is a premium here for some reason. A little FYI to the webmaster, I host my website through justhost.com and for a little under $100 a year I get unlimited bandwidth, so that might help you out with costs. Another option is that you guys can PM me and we can work something out through my site, so you guys can save on bandwidth.

I set the cover type to "DVD: Standard" and then click the button for static view. Once that loads up, select style 4, and then export to png. I then open it in the GIMP, then go Image > Canvas Size..., unclick the proportional link and chop the height down to 562. Then Image > Scale Image..., unclick the proportional link and set height to 400 and then save it.

Looking very nice.

What kind of case you are using, how well does the manual fit and would the case be able to hold multi disc games up to 5 disc like myst, or 4 disc games like FF8 plus manual?
Would you take pictures of the case opened and what is the width of the case?

Post by: soundwave925 on August 29, 2011, 02:29:15 PM
I'm using the poly cases that shenske showed us in the first post. I got the 3 sleeve cases rather than the 4 sleeve ones he suggested because they are the same size only cheaper and they still have more than enough spaces for discs and manuals of any game. theres room for 6 discs and the manual just fits into one of the sleeves.

The 4-disc Final Fantasy games are the covers that I want someone(shenske) to make the most right now, cant wait for them.

the cases are 6 inches wide, 5 1/2 inches tall and 15mm thick, a bit thicker than a standard dvd case.

There are some pros and cons with these cases but honestly I personally love them and think the pros outweigh the cons

Pros:
-more durable than cd jewel cases
-Has up to 6 inserts for discs, manuals or whatever
-gives off a clean and sleek appearance
-closer dimensions to a cd case (which helps making covers easier) with the features of a dvd case
-You can add a bit more personality with spine logos instead of just white text

Cons:
-they are bigger in hight, width and thickness compared to your standard ds or jewel case
-they take up more room on the shelf
-for most games you'll need to remove a sleeve or two

Seeing these cases next to jewel cases makes me think, man, I wish they were smaller. I'd like these poly cases better if they were the same size as DS cases

ya i know what you mean, but they have to be bigger due to the binding of the pages inside

I have to agree. I mean, I understand why it's almost an inch wider than the UGC case (let alone whatever difference in width compared to a DS case), but that's the one aspect that seems least attractive to me. I can remove sleeves, no big deal. I won't lose sleep over that or anything. But the width would be something I'd have to get used to, I think. After the UGCs, I doubt the thickness of these cases would faze me, and the height isn't a big issue either. It must look ackward though having these PS1 cases next to PS2 cases and PS3 cases right after. The sizes would be everywhere.

The case really isn't a whole lot different in size. Its only 1mm wider than a standard dvd or ds case ... meaning it only makes the difference on the shelf 1 of every 15 games.

It must look ackward though having these PS1 cases next to PS2 cases and PS3 cases right after. The sizes would be everywhere.
As it stands right now all the PS consoles already are not in a uniform case, putting these in the poly cases wouldn't really make any difference. Substituting the the CD Jewel case for the poly case is a major upgrade in my opinion.
PS1 - CD jewel case
PS2 - DVD Case
PS3 - Bluray esque case
PSP - UMD size case

I agree with shenske, they are much better than jewel cases by far and storing them in dvd cases, though they blend in well with a ps2 collection, would really feel wrong to me, plus their harder for artists to make.

I store my ps1 collection on a separate shelf from my ps2 and ps3 collections so they dont look awkward in comparison at all, in fact, the size difference doesnt even faze me

Not right now but I think I can get both (I usually didn't scan titles that already had a cover on the site, but looking back it would have been nice to just scan everything, didn't occur to me a new template like shenske's Poly Case would show up). I have a few of the others on the list. If you need any, let me know.

Just discovered this whole poly case approach and I'm very impressed. I need to track down my PS1 games - most of them are Digimon or Star Wars games. Unfortunately the Star Wars games don't have cases, so i cant contribute there. Here's what I know I have and can scan if it helps:

-Star Trek Invasion
-Digimon Rumble Arena
-Digimon World 1 & 2
-Tomorrow Never Dies

I've noticed that it's also easy to take the front, back, and spine art from these covers and scale them a bit for a DVD case. Much better than taking raws off the internet. I already have new "PSOne" style DVD covers for the following;

Spyro 1-3
CTR: Crash Team Racing
Crash Bash
Tomba 1-2
Croc 1-2
Monster Rancher 2
Gex 2-3

Just wish the cover uploader would get back online, as I can't seem to upload these via imageshack.

... They are all together. PS1, Black DC, White DC, Blue Pal DC & Orange JP DC are all in the same template. The other template's layers are not selected to be visible. Check the little box next to the layers. When an eye icon shows it means the layers are now visible.

I am also interested in placing NES in the 12 Disc Polys.... I just finished covers for all of my SNES and N64 games and was going to order some more UGC's for my NES games but I like this idea much better... saves a lot more space and looks to be easier in actually acquiring the desired quantities.

i guess i'm going to go with 12-disc cases, then.  i was hoping they'd be deep enough to house a Genesis cart with some foam around it, but it's sounding like they're too shallow.  what's the depth measurement on these anyway?

I've read that review too. I personally have not had that problem but i also don't put discs on both side of the sleeve. I just put one disc in each sleeve.  There are 4 sleeves so i doubt i'll ever need to hold more that 4 discs.

I don't have a list anywhere but i have personally made & all are on the site:
3xtreme
Area 51
Armored Core
Army Men 3D
Breath of Fire III
Bushido Blade
Chrono Cross
Cool Boarders 3

I made a few a while back when this was new, Download (https://www.box.com/s/ifo3cgxgcf2h4yzj9js0)
Castlevania SOTN, Hercules, CD sampler, MDK, Speed Punk, Spongebob Super Sponge

I think I read somewhere here that manuals fit well in the sleeves too, how thick of a manual can fit?

I'm also going to use these cases for GB/GBC games, and possibly GG if I ever buy one.
How well do the carts w/ manuals fit in the cases?

"normal size" fit just fine. I can't fit some of the RPG or RPG Maker manuals in the sleeve area. There are only  a few manuals i have that don;t fit.

I know you are against using DS cases for your GB/GBC games but i would recommend that. There would be a lot of wasted space using the 8-disc poly cases. You could fit pretty much any handheld cart in the sleeve with no problem.  You should have no problem fitting both the cart and the manual.

My largest game i have in one of the cases still fits. I have two copies of crono cross (4 discs total) and a manual in one case and it isn't even tight.  Its a pretty nifty case and is good and at hiding how much it can hold.  :)

EDIT:  Thought i might share one of my most OCD storries about one of my games.
My case 8-Dsic poly case for Spyro the Dragon has:
1 - Manual
2 - Manual (Greatest Hits)
3 - Disc
4 - Disc (Greatest Hits)
5 - Demo Disc for Spyro the Dragon
6 - Advertisement from OPM for Spyro merchandise
7 - Folded up Spyro mini-poster

...and it all fits  ;D

I probably wont buy some cases until I get a job, because buying things costs money, but I got a few interviews coming up, so we will see how that goes. I hate Jewel cases and how fragile they are, And how annoying it is to replace the art.

I don't think the Poly cases are that much bigger than the DS cases, and I may end up storing mutable games per case.

Just a thought,  maybe it would be a good thing to store loose NES manuals and such. I have mine in a binder currently and they occasionally slide out.

Thanks for the Info, I'm going to make a few more covers eventually, I scanned all my PS1 games that have cases.
On the topic of covers, I have made 100 - 300 covers and i think few are on the site, mind if i send you a RAR of them all to look through?

I sent you a RAR with my Nintendo covers and Templates.

I decided to go with 3DS cases for GB /GBC games, they require no modification, other than some foam to keep them in place.

If someone's already answered this, I'm sorry, but 18 pages is a lot to sift through. Are these 8-disc cases the same ones used for holding NES games after taking the pages out?

I think thicker ones were used, I think they were 16 disc cases. Let me look.

Oh, c'mon; you know you don't like sifting through tons of pages, either.

Its taking you way more time being lazy than it would take to actually look through the pages  ::)

Would these be able to hold NES games without cutting away plastic, like you must do on the UGC?

I thought about this years ago when I was listening to a CD teaching from my church, and the case that held the DVDs was like a short version of those DISNEY VHS Clamshells, and they were PERFECT for fitting NES games. I never could remember to ask the church staff about where they purchase them, or purchasing just the cases...that would be too smart.

I made the template comprehensive enough that anyone can make a cover with it. If you already have a cleaned scan just copy and paste, change the product number, change esrb rating and throw a logo on the spine. Done
