PS1 Jewel case Memory card Holder

[TDIRunner]

Well I started to mod the double CD jewel case to fit the VMUs. 

First I cut out the center of the middle section of the case.  Original case on the left, modified case on the right.





Next, I removed the piece that holds the disc in place.  I'm only removing the back piece since the foam insert will go here.





Next, I cut the foam to fit and cut out slots for the VMUs.  I need a little more practice since the foam looks like crap right now.  But I will get it right eventually.  I'm going to glue the back half shut so you can only open the front.  This will hold the back inlay and foam in place when it's opened.  The front inlay will be held in place in the same way it would in a normal case. 





I checked and the microphone will fit in the case in the same way.  I just need to cut a different piece of foam and modify another jewel case.

nice, excellent that both (VMU's and microphone) fits in the Double jewel case

that looks pretty good. What kind of cover art will you be using for them?

That's where e_brugal comes into play.

I don't know if it helps, but there is a VMU cover for a Euro DS case hosted on this site.

This is one of the ideas i have in mind, but still need a photo of the vmu with better resolution (the spines are not yet done  )



Ohh and a Dreamcast logo too, but still in search

I like that a lot.

I'm wondering if we will be able to find any good images of the microphone

[TDIRunner]

I can scan my microphone if that would help.....

I think good photo would be better.

[e_brugal]

yep, maybe the photo

[TDIRunner]

You mean an actual photo of my own microphone? 

If so, I'll see what I can do.  I can use my wife Cannon instead of my crappy iPhone to see if I can get a better quality than what I normally post.

That's what I mean.

Take few photos on different monotone surfaces so editing the background away is as easy as possible = resulting Microphone only image.

Took a few pictures with my wife's Nikon.  I hope these help.  If not, let me know what I can do different.  The last one is a picture of two VMU's doing the nasty if you into that sort of thing......

How does the mvu works, it's the same as a Ps memory card, does it save by blocks, how many blocks does it have? This is to know what should I do in the back, I have several options for the front that I will post tomorrow
