Title: Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: shenske on August 01, 2007, 09:07:41 AM
Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread


I have huge collection of dreamcast games and i plan to case all of them.  ;D
It will be a combination of my own created covers and other user's covers reformatted to my template.

MY STYLE:
What i try to go for with the Dreamcast DVD covers as well as all the covers i make is a rereleased look.  The Dreamcast games were never released in DVD case form (in the USA) so all my covers are themed in a way that SEGA just recently decided to rerelease the dreamcast game.  That means new company logos, new company merger logos and new artwork.  just to let you know  ;)

FYI: All my covers i make will be in the NTSC-U (usa) template, even though some are NTSC-J (japan).  
Upon request when cover is completed, i can easily (for most covers) switch it to the PAL and NTSC-J Template for you.  :D


FOR COVERS NOT ON THE SITE BUT THE LIST SAYS I HAVE MADE IT
You can download them at my box.net profile @ 300dpi!

Emulation
(this is a touchy subject, if needed i can remove)

Emulation is not a touchy subject at all. If Japanese companies like Hamster (responsible for Konami PS2 retro compilations) can rip off the MAME team's hard work without abiding by the licence, then I think it's alright for us to make custom covers for emulators. :)

Wasn't your template to be supposed all-white spine? Or is the all-white spine just for US releases? In the latter case I wonder if a poll was needed at all instead of just adding the all-white spine option to the established template...

Don't take this as criticism. I was just wondering.

No No, not for all regions.  white spine (and white back) for US, the rest i don't care about since 90% of my games are american.

Also: I request that my name not be placed next to the "white" template. (idk Just Put Artist as "Community")
The template i submitted is lumberjack's template with different color arrangements.  The only real work i did to the template is cleaned up each individual icon on the back and rearranged the layers. 
I've been upfront about this the whole time. 
I just don't want anyone to think that i "stole" lumberjacks template in anyway.

thats just the default color from the artwork i got.  I guess the artist felt that it makes sonic look more sadistic.  if you would like i can change the color of the eyes to green.

Taking the same cover and slapping the JP/EU template on it does not make it a JP/EU cover.  Don't please.

It was a test, sorry i should have clarrified that a little better.

I was just experimenting with the other regions.

I don't even intend to make Pal or Jap covers (as stated in my first post).

It's fine, do what you want. I'll never use it, so there's no need to change it.

oh ok, just a question.

is it you won't ever use it because you don't like it or because your not casing dreamcast games in dvd cases?

if you don't like it thats alright i won't take offense

Like what? Looking on metacritic, stuff at the top is stuff that probably wouldn't get that score now. (THPS2)
I bet Soul Calibur is good, but SC2 is on Gamecube if I ever have a craving for it.

But if someone were to offer me a free Dreamcast, I'm unable to be immune to free stuff...

Shenmue, Power Stone (well, there's the PSP I suppose), Virtual-On Orotario Tangram.

A lot of first-party Dreamcast games have been ported to other platforms, so if you're not too concerned about whether or not they live up to the originals you're golden.

To this day I still think Soul Calibur looks better, plays better and feels better than Soul Calibur 2. But that's just me.

You might want to take that crap about Half-Life: Decay off the back, since it wasn't in the DC version. Maybe replace it with a Blue Shift screenshot or something.

ok, thanks for the info there.  :)

i honestly haven't played the dreamcast version for more than 5 minutes so i didn't know.  I just assumed it was the same as the ps2 version.

i'll fix that up hopefully before i go the work today

Yeah. Blue Shift was originally made for the DC version (although it got ported to the PC when the DC version got canceled). Decay was only in the PS2 ver.

Also, you're uploading these to this site, right? Because Imageshack downscales everything to some really low dpi.

i haven't uploaded either of my sonic adventure covers yet because i'm having a mental block of what to put in the bottom right hand corner of the back cover.  I was considering having a VMU with a choa in that area but i'm really not sure what i want yet.

if anyone has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated

Wait, the bottom right? Just move the Sonic Team logo over a bit until it's next to the ESRB rating and call it a day.

My only other critique, if you will, is the logo on the Sonic Adventure covers. For some reason, using the SA2 logo bugs me. I have a high-rrez version of the original log if you want it.

i really appreciate that, but i really like the SA2 logo.  I didn't like sega's choice on the first SA logo (brown border   >:( )

i understand why it bugs you though i just like the newer logo thats all.  :)

maybe i'll take you up on the offer some other time if i decide to make some more alt covers for SA.

to keep credit where credit is due, i recomend when uploading the cover for artist put:

your covers converted to white template
Lumberjack - Sh

my covers converted to your orange template
Shenske - Lj

does that seem fair to you Lumberjack?

yes, but its not just the spine.  Its completely a different template, the cover that is up on the site doesn't match all of my newer covers.

I uploaded the old one some months ago right before the template war took place.


Also, I changed the logo to look more like the actual marathon logo.  :)
Side by side the newer one (in the previous post) looks much better.

It's very....green :) I like it so far. I think it would look better with a light blue background color though. Like in the opening credits of the show when the Simpsons title emerges from the clouds?

You have to admit, the new Simpsons cover looks so much better than the green one. maybe it's because I'm colorblind but yellow Simpsons on a bright green background really hurt my eyes (no kidding :D)

this one was a little more difficult.  i tried to keep it close to the original cover.

i tried to do a little artistic "logo on logo" on the front cover because the original logo was too big.

well anyways here it is ...

MK Gold looks really good. The UFC cover is a bit bland but not bad in any way. Maybe use some custom UFC "artwork", like photographs or stills from actual UFC fights. Some that look a bit more, well, fierce, to represent the nature of that sport.

i was looking for some better pictures for the ufc cover.  most of the still frames i found were pretty low res. i'm not totally happy with this cover so far but its a wip.  :)

i'll make a chaos field cover for sure but i'm not sure when.
i'm probably only going to take requests (unless its on my list) when i finish the list i have on the first post of this thread.

also, i noticed on lumberjack's thread you requested a gta2 cover.  i'm going to make one (not sure when though) thats themed more like the new games.
similar to these ones i made in ms paint a while back

You could upload the covers which you think are borderline to megaupload or the likes. That way anyone who needs the cover could grab it and doesn't have to wait for it to be added (which in this case is unlikely :) )

But don't take this as criticism. There's always someone who needs a cover like that. So show off whatever you have :)

no critism taken, i understand why the cover can't be hosted.

There is no GC template. It sucks too, because the GC doubled the DC sales! :'( May I reccomend using the custom Pac-Man Vs. cover as a template? That's what I did. Remember that custom cover=not having to stick to a template.

TIME! a lot of it!
(on photoshop)

i found high resolution pictutes of the sky at night and during the day. 
(i messed with the color properties of the sky full of stars for a while.)
I rotated them 45 degrees, set them next to each other and merged them.  I took the smudge tool and smudged the picture in the middle for at least 30 minutes to get the correct fade effect.

thats the short version of what i did  :)

a while back someone requested one of my covers in lumberjack's orange spine template.
i'm doing the opposite.
these are lumberjack's (for the most part) covers placed in my all white template.

obviosly its not all of them, but its a start.  :)

i'm not sure who i should put fot the artist on these covers when i upload them.  :-\


i noticed when lumberjack placed eightcell's "Marvel vs. Capcom 2" cover in his template he listed the artist as himself.

i don't want to confuse people or steal anyone's thunder by only putting my name as the artist.


mods, what do you think i should do?

Actually, when I uploaded that cover I did put Eightcell-Lumberjack42 in the file name. It just got added to the site as mine. I didn't even notice that had happened until now.

I do know how to ive proper credit where it is due.

Post by: KaiserWAVE on November 09, 2007, 06:13:12 PM
The admins have to add a cover artist to the database. After that, when adding covers, you choose the artist via a drop down menu.
So to allow "double artist"-thingies we'd have to add that name to the database (e.g Shenske-Lumberjack42). Imagine how much the database will be cluttered if we added those combinations like Shenske-KaiserWAVE, Shenske-Doom and so on. It would make cover adding a chore and pretty time consuming.
So if you have created a cover with someone else's scans or took a certain part of an existing cover, just make a post giving credit. The cover itself will be posted with your name. That way everybody's happy :)

The only problem I have with this is the fact that I've made over three times the DC covers than shenske and it just seems weird to me that just slapping a white dc spine on it is enough work to get the main credit. Also, the white spine backs I've seen use the exact same rear text and barcodes where mine are actually accurate to the retail packaging. That's what holds up making overs for me is making sure that I have the right legal text and barode for each game I make. Maybe that's being too anal, but it's a sticking point with me. Maybe I'm off base on this but I'm just not comfortable with it.

i really don't want to take credit for your covers because i have not done much to modify them.

all my dreamcast covers use the same legal information and barcode (most people don't look at that).
Warlock made a good point a few months ago, the text is so small on the back information that it is illegible (for the average printer) when it is printed.
(Please lets not talk about "accurate to the retail packaging" because that is one of the reasons the war started and i don't want to dig that up)

i love the covers that you made so much that i wanted to add them to my library (which is all white) and they don't fit  :( .
i converted them a while back and decided to share them with the community that might be in the same boat as i am.

in the end look at it this way, more covers for everyone.


edit: i don't know if you noticed but i modified my template to have both spine/back color options.  All the DC covers i have done lately and in the future will have both all white and orange spine/black options.  you might want to look into it  :)

Just moved back to college and got most of my stuff set up.  now time for an update.  :)

These covers NEVER were released on the dreamcast, they were all emulated. 
Because of that they will not be uploaded to the site.
I will most likely set up a filefront profile and release them that way.


Also, in time if people want i will port them to my Playstation Template.

I used the Final Fantasy covers for the PSP as my ispiration and ran with it.


well here goes... Final Fantsay Collection


Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy V

Final Fantasy VI
(http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/4121/ffviprecw4.jpg)


Yes i used the most recent released logos for a "Rerelease" feel for the covers including some brand new logos for FFV & FFVI.

I am also working on the bleemed PS1 covers too (FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX) but the logos don't look good in this style.  I can show you what i mean if you would like.

FYI:  I DON'T EVEN LIKE FINAL FANTASY but i thought the covers would look great

when you port these over to the playstation template, will you do ones in the same style for VII, VIII and IX? since i have them all, it would be sweet to have this all as a matching set, cause i love the look of each of these.

i would do VII, VIII, VIII but they just look really off and there is way to much dead space with the way the logos were designed.  :(

yes they did, sorry it was very late when i wrote this info, i didn't clarify.

On my rapidshare profile it has
     Unofficial covers
     Emulated covers
     Additional ones that can't be hosted
          (all the ones you guys pointed out use someone else's covers or a part of the covers reformatted to the all white template)

how about some Aussie/ European love ...
surpisingly enough there are no PAL dreamcast covers

well here is one

Fighting Force (PAL)

(http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/4153/ffpalpregi5.jpg)

tell me what you think  :)


feedback for this cover is very important to me as its the first PAL cover.
should i continue to make PAL covers?

my reasoning is that i probably won't make that many. 
Also, i think some of our PAL users are already using the American version covers and the covers would clash.

Europeans/Australians what do you guys think?

Well, that's mainly because there's really no other option :) Most people make US covers and don't bother with PAL covers. Personally I like the thick and wide PAL DC cases but if you have your collection lined up on a shelf it looks like ass with JAP and US imports in between. If there were PAL DVD covers it would look a lot better with all the cases having the same design and only the upper spine being  in different colors depending on what region your game is.

if i'm going to make more PAL covers i'm going o need some help.

I'm American, in America we don't learn other languages because ..... not sure .... stubborness maybe.

i need help translating any random info on the back of the covers.
i think PAL covers need:

English (i know this, obviously)
German
Spanish
French


anybody willing to help me with the translations?
(please don't recommend that i use a shitty online translator.  they are all horrible)

Don't saddle yourself with too much work. Keep the English on the back for the PAL covers that should be enough. In pretty much all parts of Europe English is the first language you learn in school after your native language. Keep it English and if someone wants Portuguese text on the back he can request it and provide you with a translation :)

Homebrew: Should be obvious. These games weren't made for DC. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

 Homebrew: is not necesarelly all original. Some people have made ports of games made for other systems and categorize them as "Homebrewed". In the case of DC this is most of the homebrewed games.

If it were up to me then yes, I'd choose all blue for PAL. But I guess most people would disagree. Living in Europe I have mostly PAL games with a few US and JPN games mixed in between. If I decided to recase my collection, the way the covers are right now with an orange upper spine or white spine for US games, a red upper spine for JPN games and a blue upper spine for PAL games are the best solutions for uniformity. That way your import games have all the same style with just the upper spine portion being different depending on the region. If there was an all blue spine the games would look like ass on the shelve next to US or JPN games. For someone with PAL games only I guess all blue would be very sexy though.


Nice work on the CVS covers. If you don't like Dan (and shame on you if you don't ;) ) then put Joe Higashi on the front. He was the other added character.

I like your PAL template for Soul Calibur. I'm not a big black and white fan so the artwork is not my cup of tea but that's just my personal taste and by no means criticism.

The second version of your Vampire Chronicles cover is way better than the grayscaled one. Not only does it look absolutely great, it just suits the game better.
Title: Re: White Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread by Shenske
Post by: Jigsaw on May 08, 2008, 12:32:10 PM
I like your layout for the Vampire case, but personally I think that Mark Brooks artwork you used for the background is pretty hideous... I like the B&W version better than the full colour one, but either would look much much better with actual Capcom art if you ask me.

The Soul Calibur cover looks pretty good, but I think the pictures of Kilik and Taki look quite jarring. I think if it had a uniform CG look it'd look a lot better.

On another note, although I guess it won't bother a lot of people here, alot of the text on the Japanese version covers looks really hokey, if not downright broken. They would look a lot more appealing to me at least if they were more modeled after the original Japanese covers. Also, I dunno if it's a template thing, but the bottom of the spine shouldn't say SEGA for non-SEGA games. Most Japanese game cases (Dreamcast included) has the developer or publisher's logo on the spine, not the hardware manufacturer's (SEGA, in this case).

The PAL template looks good (far better than the atrocious actual PAL cases), but you need to lose the SEGA logo on the top right beneath the Dreamcast logo. Soul Calibur isn't a SEGA game, and it's quite an awkward place for a company logo, anyway.

Great work all in all. Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you.

i like the current artwork i have for the background.  Most of the other artwork on the net (in high enough rez) is from other VC titles.  I really didn't want to use artwork from one game for a different one.

The Soul Calibur cover looks pretty good, but I think the pictures of Kilik and Taki look quite jarring. I think if it had a uniform CG look it'd look a lot better.

I don't have any artwork of Kalik, i think you are refering to Seigfried in the upper right. I understand why you would think a uniform CG look would work better or maybe uniform sketched characters.

On another note, although I guess it won't bother a lot of people here, alot of the text on the Japanese version covers looks really hokey, if not downright broken. They would look a lot more appealing to me at least if they were more modeled after the original Japanese covers.

Most Japanese game cases (Dreamcast included) has the developer or publisher's logo on the spine, not the hardware manufacturer's (SEGA, in this case).

Many times with Japanese DC covers i don't have any raws to work with.  I assure you the text isn't broken, i had someone who can read japanese on my floor help me out.

Yeah its a template thing with the sega logo at the botom.  I am well aware that generally Japanese covers have the developer logo at the bottom of the spine but its a custom cover with a custom uniform template.  We are trying to keep all the Dreamcast games uniform throughout all regions.

The PAL template looks good (far better than the atrocious actual PAL cases), but you need to lose the SEGA logo on the top right beneath the Dreamcast logo. Soul Calibur isn't a SEGA game, and it's quite an awkward place for a company logo, anyway.

Great work all in all. Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you.

Soul Calibur may not be a Sega game but its on a Sega console.
(just check out how many nintendo logos there are on a Gamecube case for example)

About the Sega logo location:  1/2 of the PAL DC covers i come across have the sega logo under the dreamcast swirl.  So once again just keeping it uniform for all the PAL covers.

last hope was available in GD-ROM format.
It came out in January of 2007

Karous was actually the last offical DC game.
It came out in March of 2007

I didn't know they had a Castlevania game for the Dreamcast.

officially there wasn't any Castlevania games for the Dreamcast.  This is an unofficial game that is a "Beats of Rage" mod.

Looks nice, but you spelt 'Alucard' as 'Alcurd', and the art technically isn't relevant to the game :P

thanks i'll make sure to fix the typo. Since the cover is for an unofficial game i wasn't too picky about which art i used (plus i had no idea what artwork fit with the game).  I'll keep looking for my castlevania art

This one is the bonus disc that came with Capcom vs. SNK 2 in japan.

(it makes more sense for what is on the disc and looks more uniform)

It may be a very slight detail, but it seems a little off to me that the Dan cover has SNK characters in the background while the Haohmaru one has Capcom characters. Other than that though, they look great and I think you did a really good job on them.

Yeah its loads of fun, i never play it for too long though. 
The disc puts too much ware on the dreamcast and it will actually end up ruining you laser (over very long use).

its the way the dreamcast reads the information.  It bounces back and forth from the inside of the disc to the outside constantly (as opposed to the information being right next to each other like most games).

Two friends of mine have had their dreamcast laser go out after playing a bunch of Woms World Party. 
You can hear the laser constaly shift, its lounder than normal, Chu chu Rocket isn't as bad but eventually it could destroy your laser.  :'(

The local game store stopped selling worms for that reason.  The owner told me that people kept complaining and returning the games for "breaking their console".  They could have just put a new laser in but that can get annoying.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand... if I make white covers using the same template, can I show them in this thread? Or is this thread only for Shenske's work?

Well, here goes a shot in the dark.

Tech Romancer

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/the7k/ggx_preview.jpg)

Looked all over for a Tech Romancer cover for a while, and finally decided I'd give it a shot myself. The GGX cover is just a copy-paste of the PS2 cover I scanned with small edits; I didn't know that Shenske had already made one until I found this thread. (It never showed up when I searched up "Guilty Gear X" in the search bar, so I just assumed it didn't exist.) I personally use slim-line versions of these, but it's just a matter of making the spine thinner.

The thread is for anyone who wants to make white dreamcast DVD covers. 
Your covers are more than welcome to be posted in this thread.

Your Tech Romancer cover seems to use a low rez pic for the logo.  If i were you i'd find something else to replace it.
good job though, i look forward to seeing some more white dreamcast covers from you  :)


EDIT: After looking closer at the template you are using i realized you have an older version of the template.  Not a bad thing by any means but if you would like to there is a newer one with more editable layers.  The template can be found in the "Templates" thread.
Title: Re: White Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: the7k on July 04, 2008, 03:17:34 PM
The Tech Romancer logo was actually the hardest thing to find. Despite how it may look, that  logo was actually far better than any of the others I have found. If you know of another, though, I'd be happy to replace it.

that could help, i use vector magic quite often with logos and old covers. 

If you do decide to use vectormagic, run it through a few times with different settings to find the best results.

Do you have the background picture in full colour? I think it would look much, much better without the blue tint, or at least with Batsu in colour. I'm also not completely sold on the black-on-yellow text on the back, readability could be better... Other than those things though, it looks great! The layout is excellent.

the original cover does both those things.  I just tried to recreate it.  It had black on yellow text and a blue tinted front.

Project Justcie and Rival Schools are one in the same.  The cd cover artwork i had from the "project justice" is way too square to work for a vertical rectangle canvas area.  So i had to go custom but the art fits the game.

Anyhoo, I was looking for some orange DVD cases to put my Dreamcast games in with these covers but I can't seem to find any multi disk ones in that color. Anyone know if it's even possible to get orange multi disk cases? Gotta put Shenmue and Alone in the Dark somewhere!

thats actually one of the main reasons i switched to the good ol' black DVD cases.  You can find cases that hold up to 4 discs pretty easily, i couldn't find any orange multi disc cases.  :(

I guess he feels the relationship with my girlfriend over the past three years was an exstensive cover-up.

For those people who get fed up with the same styles and characters on SF cases, the Japanese version of SF Alpha 3 is certainly different... ;)
Different indeed. "Do any of these people resemble the one who mugged you?" :)

LOL :). If this is anatomically correct and allowing for the perspective, Ryu is pretty short....maybe i could take him! ;)

See Dan on the upper left between Sagat and E. Honda? He's huge. There you have it proof from Capcom themselves, Dan's the man :D

T.Y :). I got lucky. Because of the white background, i was able to cut and stretch the text out and put a couple of pictures in between. As you know, this is not allways the case. I find DC covers the most difficult to work on.

@KaiserWAVE

I allways suspected that!! ;)

Title: Re: White Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: Grumbleduke on February 23, 2009, 12:58:12 PM
Well as you probably discovered, when you slide the jewel case into the template, both the front and back take up only about half the size available. So then you have to get a bit creative with the stretching so as not to lose proportion and start finding stuff to 'pad them out'. For some reason, the fronts normally work out ok but the backs are allways a pig to do. Luckily there's quite a bit of info/pics floating around the net for DC...and if i really have to, i draw some stuff in but that takes waaaaay to long. :) I just finished doing a fully Japanese version of Samba De Amigo 2000 that took at least 10 hours of solid work and was, so far, the most difficult i have done. And if im correct, it should be right underneath...

Fixed the logo issue (to a degree... It's still covering the logo a little, but I still wanted to give Millia that 'popping out the box' effect, so it's a compromise), along with a better Sammy logo.

Quick question about the templates.  Most of the White US covers have white information areas on the rear.  Some on the other hand have Black information areas on the rear towards the bottom.  I've noticed this is also true on games that have been converted the white from the original "black theme" of the later Dreamcast games.  Why not just all white for each case?  By the way, the SFIII case is beautiful Grumbleduke.
Title: Re: White Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: the7k on March 27, 2009, 09:42:57 PM
It's just a preference thing. I actually prefer the black box on the back (although I don't care that much about it), and I usually copy the Japanese orange strip onto the spine for those that don't have it. Without the orange, the case looks to much like a Wii case to me.

A friend picked me up a copy of this last year while he was in Hong Kong. It was disc only, which is a shame as its going for £80 odd pounds on e-bay at the moment. Anyway, it has remained coverless as a good quality scan has been difficult to find. Hopefully, someone will donate one at some stage but untill then, this one will have to do.

Grumbleduke, have you thought about doing a template/artwork for backup CD's?  Something that could be printed, applied, or lightscribed?  I have 2 separate collections.  Original and backup.  This would make my backup collection superior to the original.

That is exactly the kind of stuff we are against at TCP. If it truly is a "backup" collection, it shouldn't matter how they look, because you have the originals. If I had a collection of pirated software I would probably keep it in a cd wallet with my real collection on my shelf. Unless DC games came on CD-R's I fail to see how a lightscribed or whatever disc would look better than the originals.
Title: Re: White Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: lordpenguin on March 30, 2009, 08:58:08 PM
Hmmm, I guess I can see that logic.  But if you have a DC jewel case with the original CD, and a custom case that's empty, I feel like one is a little useless.  Regardless of the philosophy behind TCP, we are still pirating IP every time we exchange, create, download, and print custom covers.  Still, I am behind TCP %100, but I am interested on your thoughts.  This is the best appeal I can make.   ;D

Title: Black Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: shenske on April 30, 2009, 03:31:18 AM
Black Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread

We at the TheCoverProject had a big debate a few years ago about a standard Dreamcast DVD style.
Our consensus was that the "All White" and the "Orange Upper spine" were the standard.
I have no intentions on changing the standards here just adding another option.

The Vertical black bar on the front takes up almost the exact same amount of space as the current white one.
     (This will make it very easy to convert pre-existing covers to the black template)
I still have every intention on making the All White style my priority but i'll be releasing a black version as well.

Many of the dreamcast game I own came in black CD cases and a black side bar with the dreamcast logo on the manual.
With this latest alteration of the template i tried my absolute best to mimic the original style of the dreamcast covers.

Normal
(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8973/dcbpre.jpg)

On the front because the DC logo is on the side it allows the online logo to be in the correct place up top.
You may also notice on the spine above the Sega logo the product number is listed for accuracy from the original CD case.

Sega All Stars
(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/9823/dcbsaspre.jpg)

The Sega All Stars version was purely based off the the original CD style.
The color orange was matched to the degree with the original orange.
The spine was one constant orange color with a black logo, pruduct # & Black text for the game name.
On the front there is a vertical bar with the SAS labeled vertically to signify the inlay you can see on through with the CD case version.

All Regions Together

Looks nice no question although the black curve on the front is a little too prominent for me....

Only an increase from 2 to 3 styles.  Its good we have the standards and all but it does kind of limit the artist from his/her own personal preference.  I think that everyone should still make the two standard template versions and if they feel like it they can make another alternate.  Think about if we had to tell the PC covers artist they had to use the "games for windows" template even though some of the original covers came in the "PC-DVD" style.

About it standing out too much its mostly the illusion of the color.  Dark colors really stand out next to light backgrounds.
Here is a comparison of how the space the front part of the template takes up.

Also, on a random note LJ42 shouldnt mind at all because he almost released a slew of black dreamcast covers too about a year ago.

Really like this new Sonic Adventure cover. Every time I think I`ve got the covers I want someone comes out with something I like even better. :D However there is a small typo on the back. Where it says ``Sonic the Hedgehog will propel your Dreamcast to warp-speed``, should be ``into warp speed``. Great job, and keep it up!

I like it a lot, Shenske.  So, the sega all stars is equivalent to greatest hits on other platforms, correct?  I've never seen the point in ever printing those off, but I guess for those who want it you've certainly accommodated.

I've mentioned this before, but I am an ex-dreamcast owner.  I owned a dreamcast when it was released, and then it broke on me after about 6 months.  The issue was with the unit itself, since it wouldn't read disks.  After that I gave away my Dreamcast.  I'm looking to eventually replace it since Dreamcast had a lot of good exclusive games.  I really, really want to get a copy of Mars Matrix, and maybe even get a sanwa stick.

I see myself getting a dreamcast again in the future, but I've been undecided on the type of casing.  I like both the white and the white/orange spine dreamcast layout.  The one disadvantage with the all white spin though is that it looks too similar to that of a Wii cover.  The thing I like about this black layout is that this gives it a little more distinction over that of a Wii cover, but still has that simple and very aesthetically pleasing look.  Another thought I had with regard to dreamcast was that it would look really cool to see Dreamcast games either in an orange or blue case.  Really, what I guess I'm getting at is, as someone who is very likely to get a Dreamcast and print off covers, I'd lean towards this case style or the white dreamcast case with the white/orange spine.

Once again, nice work on the cover template.

Yeah, Sega All Stars is the equivalent to a "platinum hits" or "greatest hits". 
There are quite a few downloads for greatest/platinum/allstars in general so if only ~30 people download it at least some is using it.

You should replace it, the Dreamcast is one of my favorite consoles and there are so many great games out for it. 
I also like only paying $1-$5 for each game  ;D

Just use any color case except white and it wont look like Wii cases.

When i get all the cases i need i think i'm oing to put my pal games in blue cases, my japanese games in orange cases and my dreamcast games in either black or white.

I'm glad you like the template  :)

Hi everyone,

Brilliant work going on in this thread.

I've been working on a Tokyo Bus Guide DVD cover which I thought I should share.

Obviously, feel free to make any tweaks or adjustments to it.

It's an import game so you'll probably want to make the spine and stuff orange. Although I personally prefer it as it is to match the rest of my games.

If I had the technical ability I would have considered adding a background to make it look less white, although there's barely any artwork to work with, with this game.

It's still has a bit too much JPEG artifacts - not in the screenshots or the template, but in the rest of the art.

You might be able to work something out by using Vector Magic. It's kinda tricky - and not always helpful - but it is worth a shot. Give it a Google search and you might be able to find a free trial.

Probably Never.  :-\
If they were to be an alternate version of an artist's cover it would have to be altered by that original artist.

So in order for their to be a white version of Lumberjack42's cover then it would have to be made and uploaded by Lumberjack42.

Sorry bud

Plus, this isn't even that big of a deal.

I've used tons of stuff that Shenske and LJ42 posted in White or Orange/Black style, and I've always changed the spines to look like the Japanese covers. It's just a matter of cutting the top part of the spine from the template you want and pasting it on top of the cover you want - no big deal. Should be more than possible even in MS Paint, and definitely in Gimp, for those that can't afford Photoshop.

Anyway, I just posted it here because for anyone with the game, it's better than having no cover at all.

I don't have Photoshop or GIMP - did it all in paint, so if you guys want to improve it or start from scratch then go ahead. I'm not knowledgable in the field of cover making.

After finding that one of my favorite artists, Genzoman, shares my love of who is, without a doubt, the best and most under-appreciated female to ever grace the Street Fighter series, I had to do some covers with his art.

Wasn't really sure what to call this... all the other covers have simply called it KOF '99 (Because, that is basically what it is), but it was actually released as King of Fighters EVOLUTION... so, here it is. Went with the Japanese title, because it makes more sense.

That KOF 2k cover is great. I love the artwork. Had it as a desktop wallpaper some time ago :) It really looks great in the all black version. Wil you do the others as well? KOF 2k2 has a butt ugly cover art for the DC version, the Neo Geo version is much better and would look awesome in the all black template.

Thanks! In my opinion, you'd really have to try hard to make Kula not look beautiful...

Hope someone else can use this - it was UBER hard to find images for the game. There is nothing for this game out there on the tubes - not even searching its Japanese name helped. Not even Pixiv helped.

I was just using the Neo Geo CD cover, with the Dreamcast template placed on top of it, for a long time. Now that I'm re-doing all my covers in black, it was about time to give it the proper treatment.

I didn't go with this image at first because - honestly - I don't think the art style goes with the series. The characters look far too angular and sharp in this pic. But, when it comes to the Cotton series, I don't have a whole lot of images to choose from.

While I do agree with you that anyone could easily find worse pictures online in a matter of seconds, It still doesn't make it appropriate.
Even though there is not a rule against it and its "not that bad" I will personally not be adding it to the site. Someone else is welcome to, its just not my cup of tea.

Its like when a parent comes into gamestop and gets her 7 year old GTAIV.  She is warned about the content in the game but disregards it because "there is worse stuff out there."  Doesn't add up to me.

You Don't have to but I will.

I was opposed to this cover when it was first previewed on the forums but like i said there is no rule against it being hosted I just personally dont like the artistic direction it is going (my opinion).

@the7k
Please dont take this as criticism against your skills as an artist.  :)
The cover still took time to create and I'm sure everyone is very thankfull for that, I just happen to not agree with the chosen art.

I understand your position, it's just that the image is - at least in my opinion - cheesecake. A good deal of cheesecake, sure - but still. You see more cheesecake than that at the start of every Street Fighter IV match featuring Cammy. I thought this was coming down to us just not allowing cheesecake on the site, which would not only mean official covers would be barred (like that X-Blades cover), but also we'd have to weed out the beefcake as well. I personally still have hopes of doing some Cho Aniki covers, as well as what is sure to be this classic Wii game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hcElGydzb8. =P

Speaking of beefcake, it's time to do a cover dedicated to the manliest of manly men ever.

Just always liked this image, and wanted to use it for a cover. Sucks if you are a Marvel fan, but I kinda assume more Capcom fans liked MvC1 better than MvC2 than Marvel fans. (After all, Capcom fans are more likely to make a fuss over how horribly unbalanced MvC2 was than Marvel fans will, especially considering the God Tier - Magneto, Storm, Sentinel and Cable - consists solely of Marvel characters.)

I know the logo on the front is really small, but the only way I could make it bigger is to flip it 90 degrees - which could work, I've seen DVDs that are read like that, but I didn't know if I really wanted to experiment with it like that.

Hotaru is an interesting choice for a Garou cover. If I were thinking about a Garou custom cover my first choice would have been B. Jenet. Marco as a close second.
Title: Re: Black Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: the7k on June 15, 2009, 12:47:58 PM
Shenske: Jigsaw nailed it - all of these characters are in Marvel vs Capcom 1 as either Playable Characters or Special Partners.

KaizerWAVE: Hotaru has cross-overed a bit more than B.Jenet has. Hotaru was in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, as well as KOFXI (console ports). I was considering using B.Jenet, but couldn't find any good art of her with a background.

I was planning on using this as a front (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/bjenet-flower.jpg), and this as a back (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/bjenet-bg.jpg)... the problem with these images is that Fighter's Generation does not provide artist credits, and unless I can confirm that this is official art (which I doubt), I'm not comfortable putting it on a cover and not crediting the artist.

As for Marco/Khushnood - there is practically no art featuring him suitable for a cover. This is the best image of him I could find. (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/marco-student.jpg)

I also looked for good images of Terry and Tizoc, but again, nothing cover worthy.

Of course - there is a lot to be said for me simply liking Hotaru...
Title: Re: Black Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: KaiserWAVE on June 15, 2009, 01:23:11 PM
I don't know, maybe it's her character design. She would make a fine addition to the Samsho series but for some reason I thought she was out of place in Garou. On the other hand B. Jenet would have made a fine addition to the roster of a World Heroes game as well so to each his own I guess. :) Yeah, Marco does not get the spotlight he deserves. He's badass, and if there is room for an Afro Samurai why not a black Kyokugen Karateka :)

I like the choice of art, but the SNK logo on the front is placed really awkwardly. I'm assuming it was already part of the picture, but I think if you retouched the image to take it out, and put it in the upper right corner instead (preferably with a slighter bigger margin), it would look at lot less distracting and improve the overall look of the cover.

I noticed that all your JP covers have ESRB ratings. You might want to remove them or the covers will not be added to the site.

I know that previously some covers have been added this way, but it's something the admins discussed and we are trying to prevent.

It was decided that if JP,EU and US covers have rating, they should have the corresponding one.

You know.. you can jsut leave the US one.. the JP covers are not very JP... Other than the UPS and game code, they have nothing from the JP game.... Not the art nor text..

The JP version is not even called Last Blade 2.. it's called "Bakumatsu Roman Daini Maku: Gekka no Kenshi Final Edition "
Title: Re: Black Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: the7k on June 21, 2009, 06:05:29 PM
Well, I personally have the Japanese version because of all the cut content, and this is the cover I wanted to use for it. Perhaps others would like to refer to it as Super Bakumatsu Roman The Second Act: Moonlight Swordsmen - The Flower That Blooms in the Moonlight, the Flower That Dies and Falls Apart; Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless Army II Turbo Revival HD Remix, but I know a lot more people will just call it Last Blade 2.

Rainbow Cotton (NTSCJ)

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t289/Grumbleduke/rainycott.jpg)

the7k allready made a couple of versions of this in a U.S style cover so i attempted a JP look with this one. Great graphics but possible the poorest of the Cotton games. Overlong levels, horrid re-centering controls and some 'cant see what im shooting at' problems...well i thought so anyway (and it cost me a lot of dough, even without the cover. But not as much as it is nowadays)

Trizeal (NTSC-J)

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t289/Grumbleduke/trizeal.jpg)

Tracked down a copy of this with front cover only(still expensive). That was not worth the bother of converting to DVD case so this one is a modified PS2 version. Did a load of work on Yu Suzuki Gameworks too but what i thought was original packaging ( i know it came with a book but thought it had a standard JP jewel case too) i now believe is a custom so as i dont want to nick someone else's design and as i dont have the disc anyway and was doing it for fun, production has ceased at about 80%. ;)

Soulcalibur (NTSC/J)

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t289/Grumbleduke/soulcalidvd.jpg)

So we allready have loads of really good Soulcalibur covers on site, but i was trying to emulate the grid style background of the original, as well as keeping the original front with this. However, the original rear jewelcase proved to be difficult to stretch to the template so i added a different picture instead. The style has remained the same, well i hope so anyway! ;). And as we are on a drive for jewelcases at the moment, here's the original for good measure.

Shikigami No Shiro II (NTSC/J)

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t289/Grumbleduke/shikiboom.jpg)

A friend of mine is currently in H.K and reckons that he can get me a copy of this from a shop he uses there. He reckons it looks genuine but is totally cover free (that makes me a little suspicious). So i got working on something to cover it, should he do the business. Has to be said there is very little stuff out there to use, hence a custom back. Still, at least its something. I allready have the 'Charlie's Angels' version on PS2, but thats somewhat lacking to the DC version. And a alt front too...

Actually, you probably know this, but the "Charlie's Angels" Mobile Light Force 2 game is really Shikigami no Shiro I (not II). Castle of Shikigami II came out in the US and Europe in a mostly intact form later. Mobile Light Force (1) is a PS1 game and it's really Gunbird.

I'm just at one of the university computers so i can't look at the dpi settings right now.  But ...

- I'm unsure if the site can host it, there was an official release of MGS Bleem but not officially by Sega. It should be ok but I'm not sure.
- There is a great deal of pixilation
- the bleam logo is pixilated
- konami log on the front is partially chopped off
- there is some white crud above the bleemcast text on the front
- the back artwork is a little rough next to the spine
- there is something weird about the shadow around the white curve on the front
- the cover you used under the template was not originally made by you

I know thats a lot of things but those are all factors as to why it wouldnt be uploaded to the site under its current state.
Title: Re: White Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: Priestess Paula on October 07, 2009, 05:15:40 PM
Just checked it all out...yeah, those are all true...
well I don't see the oddness around the shadow of the curve, but still.

turns out I forgot to set Seashore to 300 DPI as well...on all of my covers.

well I guess I'll remake this unless you don't want me using your template.

I'm just refereing to the MGS PS1 cover you used. You can still use that cover just mix it up a little and make it more of your own.

(http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/281/bleemcastmgspreview.jpg)

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn169/High_Priestess_Paula/bleemcast_MGS.jpg

Couldn't find the Bleemcast text I used previously, so...yeah.
It may still be a bit pixely in some spots, but...I tried my best.
No more Bleem logo sense I can't find one that won't be pixely if used.

Sense Bleemcast is technically a boot disk it wasn't rated so no rating.

I used the case I used as the background as it's basically the official one transfered to DVD, I believe.

I think there are a few black dots and stuff on it, but it may be my monitor. ...anyways I need to get some sleep I'll finish this after school if it looks any good to me then.

Once again, do not use any links in the threads, actually just don't pay attention that they are even there.  The covers are on the site in the Dreamcast Section on the left hand part of the page.  There is an alphabet across the top when you get redirected. Click on the Letter "C" for Capcom vs. SNK, after that you can click on the game name and there is the cover to download.

This time around the cover took me A LOT longer to make and four different images to recreate the two characters on the front. I think it looks much better now.

@shenske

I was just browsing through the covers, love your Segagaga cover but you forgot the dakutens on the カ's

It says セカカカ (Sekakaka)

it needs to be セガガガ

No disrespect intended! Just a heads up! Keep up the great work!  ;D

I updated my old version of this cover and replaced it with this one. Its a much better design, more eligable and looks a lot more like the retail version.

To everyone especially the other Admins, is it necessary to have both a "White Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread" and a "Black Dreamcast DVD cover thread"?  I know i created both but i think it would be better suited to have them merged, what do you think?

Well we don't have separate PS1 cover threads, so I don't think it would be a bad idea to merge. I think the only other thing we have multiple threads for is PS3 anyway, and that makes a little bit more sense.
Title: Re: Black Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread

Yeah, I'd be in favor of merging all the cover variation threads. I usually just post in the same thread anyway to save time.

I agree, merging would be beneficial.

It doesn't help that SEGA was ALL over the place branding-wise during the Dreamcast era...

Although, I guess they've never really been able to make up their minds when it comes to case styles.  :P
Title: Re: Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread

The ALL White Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread and the Black Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread have been merged to create the colossal Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread.  

Everyone is completely welcome to post any variation of Dreamcast DVD covers.

ADMINS:
Should i also merge the Orange and Black cover thread and the Blue Pal cover thread?

Are you guys sure this isn't going to get too unorganized, what about having something like child boards.
I kind of like the different templates separated.

edit: like have a  sub board for each template ( Im guessing most people just keep track of the one they are using)
                                 white
 Dreamcast    <        black
                                  orange/black
                                  blue
Title: Re: Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: Drakul on July 21, 2010, 11:37:13 AM
I think it's fine to merge. If you're looking for specific covers then you usually don't use the forums but the database so it should be fine.
Title: Re: Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread
Post by: juan0tron on July 23, 2010, 09:57:29 PM
Merge away. It'll help make the site a bit less cluttered. I don't think sub boards would be necessary if you guys are posting multiple versions of the same cover all at once. They might further satisfy my OCD of subcategorizing everything, but overall I think it makes more clutter.

Absolutely! I just like to print my DC covers in their retail colour and these 4 use black. Considering it only took about 5 minutes to convert each cover, it would be wrong for it to be uploaded under my name.

Hello,

I am new here and I have a couple covers I made for Shenmue I and II on dreamcast before finding this place.

I started making them because I recently got my games out of storage, and the old Jewel cases were so brittle they pretty much started crumbling in my hands.

Instead of just stretching the original image, I decided to make my own.

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6102/shenmuedcdvd.png (http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6102/shenmuedcdvd.png)
The Shenmue 1 front, I think I got the image from the Shenmue II GD_rom. The back is from the OST

http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/8341/shenmueiidcdvd.png (http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/8341/shenmueiidcdvd.png)
With my Shenmue II, I tried to capture the feel of the DC Shenmue II cover, but make it something my own.

These are some of the first covers I have made, so I don't care if you don't like them. They were made for my personal consumption.

We've had some talks about this in the past (privately?). Anything designed for piracy / homebrew loading is probably not going to be put on the site anymore. Action Replays and other retail releases with legitimate, non-piracy purposes are fine, so your covers should be allowed.
