Looks great man! Very nice! Youve been quite thorough on all these templates.

So are all your template psds updated with the aligned game title text and ready to go?

I'm looking at doing a TurboGraphfX template... but Ekto's current template intimidates me a little bit, so I'm hoping Ekto finishes off the 8-disc poly case so I'd have an easier conversion time.

All of the .psd's I upload to my box account should have the game title text (which I doubt I'll use much, think i'll use actual logs more, but it the text at least gives a nice centering place). Also, all of the .psd's should have the tweaked upper spine portion.

Everything upload is ready to go, some of them .psd's may be updated if/when I finish additional templates for the platform (ie PAL Mega-CD, PAL PlayStation, GH PlayStation, etc).

I'll get the current 3DO and Neo•Geo CD templates up hopefully tonightl.

Printed out my first two covers with inserts, and they look fantastic! I made a cover for Digimon Rumble Arena for PS1 and adapted one of my Star Trek PC games to the Windows template. I might take pictures when I can.

Also upgraded Imandix finally, so I can do much better previews including previews of New Poly Case covers. I'm really looking forward to getting some Sega CD/Saturn covers and inserts printed to see how they turn out.

Well, got my solution to using the CD Poly Cases for holding UMD's





Need to do a little sanding around the cut out part to get rid of all the little jagged edges, and then will probably do a quick coat with a clear sealant to prevent any foam from flaking off.
Also want to try a better way of breaking the center hub (I've lent out my snips to a friend and am hoping I get them back soon as I think that'd be the easiest solution -- for the sake of trying this last night I simply whacked it with a hammer)

@Soundwave925 - I think you may have given me the wrong Mediafire link - it just takes me to the main Mediafire page.

@Velmeran - Very cool solution! The ingenuity on these boards never ceases to amaze me...

Gotta give a thanks to Wiggy for the solution I got -- I was striking out finding a foam to use for the inserts (between the thickness I needed, the overall amount I needed and a price point I was looking at, I was coming up empty), but asked Wiggy what he used for his Memory Card holders and got the foamboard/foamcore suggestion.

Worked like a charm, and I got a piece big enough that'll allow me to do about 20 cases for a single dollar.

That worked.

i have a few "greatest hits" ones in there, but i was hoping you could just replace it with the black ridges like on all the other ps1 games.

theres also some with adds on them like tomb raider 3, dont know what you want to do about those. you could put your own artwork if you like or leave them the way they are, they're kind of charming.

[TyrannicalFascist]

Yeah, I was just planning to make them all black spined. I've never been a fan of Greatest Hits variations on any of my games personally.

Finished the first batch: inlays for Crash Bandicoot 1, 2 & 3, Spyro the Dragon 1, 2 & 3, Spider-Man 1 & 2, Mega Man X4, Mega Man X5, Mega Man Legends 1 & 2, Syphon Filter, Pac-Man World, and Digimon Rumble Arena.

I'll probably finish up the others you provided very soon.

Keep this goin, i just got my first 100 cases

[TyrannicalFascist]

Batch 2/3 is up, finishing up Soundwave925's single-disc game inlays: Ape Escape, Bushido Blade, Bust A Move 4, Castlevania, DDR, DDR Konamix, Legend of Mana, Ridge Racer 1, 2 & 3, Silhouette Mirage, Strider 2, Tomb Raider 1, 2, 3 & 4, Tony Hawk 1 & 2, and Twisted Metal 1, 2, 3 & 4.

Same download as my last post.  

Next up is the inlays that have art on both sides. I'll need to experiment with how it will look across the whole thing, since it won't have the black PS1 spine.

EDIT: Also added Star Trek: Invasion and Digimon World 1 & 2.

[TyrannicalFascist]

Here's my go at Chrono Cross and Dragon Warrior 7. I'm thinking that I'll have a black and a white version of that spine gradient, and pick the appropriate one based on the art. What do you think? If you want it done another way, let me know.
