Hi there, welcome to the site.

I regret to inform you that DVD Style PS1 games usually never get completed nowadays.  You can't stretch the CD style artwork into a DVD case.  This results in work that is completely custom, and most of the artists here spend most to all of their time preseving covers, not making new ones.

I hope that someone helps fulfill this request, but DVD cases for PS1 games are really not worth it in the long run.

Might have some luck searching the forums with the search bar on the top of the page.

Um Im pretty sure there are several ps1 custom art covers in dvd style that look amazing on this website.
Its ok if you dont want to help but discouraging others is pretty lame.

[ShoothimNow]

Um I'm pretty sure those covers are also from a decade ago.
Its ok that you are new and want some help, but not taking the advice of some of the other members is pretty lame.

All I am saying is...

But smoothin, I did read your response, and it has nothing helpful to say

I hear you cry.

lenoxseer's Treasure of the Deep DVD case is right there on the first search result.

Constructively
Do you happen to have any of these games strategy guides?  The dimensions of a strategy guide closer resembles the front of a DVD case (be it, rectangular).  Only problem with strategy guides in order to create a cover is unwanted wordings


Otherwise, if you hate the idea of having black bars on the front of a case, the only other solution for retail artwork is to stretch (and nobody wants to do that and proudly show off their work).


We don't know the style you are looking for (completely custom / partly custom / as retail as you can get it).  Pictures help on what you are looking for.  Using the search function on the forums as well will also net you results (as it is not tied to the main site).

This is not towards you, but I would LOVE to know the context behind PS1 DVD styled cases...
Personally, I see little to no reward to converting my PS1 collection to DVD styled cases.  I would have to store the original jewel case and artwork, but also have a separate case altogether (that is larger than the jewel case) to hold the game.  If I then buy 15 more PS1 games next week, do I... come back here and request 15 more cases for each of those games?  What if you happen to find 100 games this week for a steal.

Practically you are taking this [75 games with TONS of vertical space]


Going to this ultimately store the cases away




To then swap to this [53 games]


I've done this in the past, converting PS2 games into Slim-Line cases.  About 3 years after I did that, I hated myself for doing it.  Such the waste.  I'm down to these games left to recover


But again, that's just what I've done and my opinion.


I mean... more power to you... but I can tell you that a majority of the contributors here... won't do this... and seeing that they won't do this, there is no reason for them to make a DVD styled case, seeing that they know if they purchase another CD jewel case game, they will ultimately have to generate another DVD styled case.  Which is, to me, stupid.

But again, that's just my opinion, but I've seen way too many of these DVD styled PS1 posts never get fulfilled.  Figured I would let you know sooner than later.

This is not towards you, but I would LOVE to know the context behind PS1 DVD styled cases...

I can provide an anecdote.

I use Ikea bookshelves in my gaming area to store and display all of my games. I don't have much space, so I've utilized it as effectively as I can. If I split the shelving space as evenly as I can, I end up with 8 shelves that are perfectly-sized for CGCs, UGCs and DVD cases.

In the beginning I tried to put all of my PS1, Dreamcast, Sega CD and Saturn jewel cases on those shelves as well. But I quickly found that the irregular sizes of these cases (compared to UGCs and DVDs) limited where I could put them and how much space I had left for other game cases. If I arranged the shelves perfectly, I could replace one DVD-sized shelf space with 2 standard CD-sized shelves (though it was a tight fit for some games). But I didn't (and still don't) have enough standard CD cases to fill up those shelves horizontally, meaning the rest of that was wasted space that I couldn't use.

The Sega CD/Saturn-sized jewel cases presented a different problem: being taller than DVD cases required additional vertical space that encroached onto the shelves above them. Adjusting the shelves accordingly left me with less space to put new games, plus they take up increased space horizontally as well.

By putting all my Sega CD and Saturn games alone into DVD cases I saved a ton of both vertical AND horizontal shelf space. And by putting PS1 games into DVD cases I was able to standardize my shelving dimensions AND take up less horizontal space on the shelf. How, you ask, when DVD cases are thicker than standard PS1 cases? The answer: multi-disc DVD cases are thinner than multi-disc PS1 cases, which I had a lot of.

So in my anecdotal scenario, using DVD cases for pre-PS2 disc-based media has actually saved me space in the long run. Which is why I use the DVD covers.

Don't forget PS1 had longbox cases as well.



All I am saying is that it's a lot easier to make a rectangular cover fit a rectangular case.


My mini NES cases are of my own paranoia and I wouldn't feel right continuously asking for more and more covers, which is why I've learned how to make them myself.  All I am saying is that... PS1 DVD cover requests... don't... really... get... filled...

If all of the PS1 games were in longboxes (instead of CD jewel cases), F yeah, people would be all about helping!  But... they aren't =\.  Heck, it's hard enough for asking people to scan the BACKSIDE of the PS1 cover, so that when you print the cover out, it's not pure white staring back at you.

I'll help in any way I can man, I'm not a pro but I can make you SOMETHING decent enough to display your collection if you need/want.

🙄OK we get it! You're the king of the New Troll movement, good for you! , but I was seeking help from people who didn't actually live on there mothers couch, posting to 4chan all day. You can spend every waking minute of the day posting your 2 cents to every forum you come across and still never be memorable or respected. You offered no help and therefor you're useless and I'm pretty sure that statement extends beyond this. I have no interest in reading anything else you have to say. Moving on now, your posts will not be read [

Like I said, welcome to the site.  Maybe one day someone will help fulfill this [completely custom / 6% of TCP will use] request.  Hoping someone will provide some awesome covers, but... it's going to be slim... especially with an attitude like that bro.  Merry Christmas, Happy new year.

You are wrong... He ain't new... but we lstill love you shoot.

[ShoothimNow]

Oh I know he's not new (he has posts with poor grammar back in 2018 that I am not making fun of) (or this will be the third unfulfilled request he has had).  With a low post count, that's a newbie in my eyes, though yes, lots of people lurk.

Looky at me, not posting on 4chan, not spending every waking minute of the day posting my 2 cents to 'every' (lulz) forum that I come across to actually be a troll and not scan these for you


Way to bite the hand that feeds you, bro.

Oh well, time to put them away so roid rage here can keep hoping on someone else to help him.  Careful, he might explode on you too.

If you read more carefully... I was joking about you...
But now you ruined it

Insulting and calling a well established member a troll is definitely not going to get you the results you want.  His posts are sometimes a little snarky (that's why we love the guy), but he still explained pretty clearly why you might have trouble with this type of request.  He is trying to help you understand why DVD style PS1 cases might cause a lot of aggravation long term. 


I mentioned elsewhere that unless you only plan to only have a very small PS1 collection, I would recommend not going with DVD style cases.  If you still believe you want to go this route, I would recommend learning how to make your own cases.  Years ago, I decided to make very specific PC Engine cases for my collection in a style that only I was interested in.  Because I knew my collection was small and no one else would probably use that style, I didn't want to waste anyone else's time in requesting those covers, so I figured out how to make my own. 


As an act of good faith, I can offers scans of Croc 2, Pandemonium and Treasure of the Deep if you want to take a shot at making your own DVD style covers (Croc 2 is already in my scan thread which is linked in my signature).  Just let me know if you are still interested.

[Beta464]

Hell, I posted a link with a DVD case style Croc 2 cover AND Ghost in the Shell cover for him, dude still hasn't downloaded em or even acknowledged their existence, so it doesn't really incentivize people like me who DO use DVD cases for their PS1 and Dreamcast games to provide him with covers lol. So it would seem he'll either need to learn to make em himself or just deal with jewel cases.
