Don't get me wrong.. I'm not saying that I hate vertical for the way it looks. After all, look at all my templates (SCD, SAT, 3DO)... They are all vertical.
But in the case of PS1 (were most of the games come in square CD cases), the top logo template works better. You can fit a lot more of the original cover into the, and it matches the PS2 cases.

Thanks for the cover, and covers, VT!

Yeah..i agree they are a bitch to fit sometimes. But there's something about them that looks good.

Just working on the Ridge Racer Hi-Spec demo disc now - but finding it difficult to find decent images...................

Nice job, sheep; I'll have to get a vert of that Ridge Racer, but it should be easy enough to do for myself.
My whole deal with the horz/vert situation is that I went with the vert specifically because it was different from the PS2's horz orientation. I can tell from just a glance at the front cover that it is a PS1 game, which is nice considering that my PS3 is the cheap ol' "PS2-uncompatible" model. Also, the vert feels more retro, and it fits the spirit of the old jewel case template they worked with back in the day.
I do share the sentiments about it being a freakin' hassle to format the retail covers with though. It's the reason so many of the vert covers end up being custom. Just a small sacrifice as far as I'm concerned though.
