Hi everyone. I apologize if there is something obvious I have missed but I have been both Googling and searching this forum for a couple days, and I am coming up empty handed.  Is there some site similar to this but for CD jewel cases, specifically Saturn Japanese ones?  I'd like to make a few new CD covers and I love much of the Japanese cover art.  I did find a post here from someone who made a bunch of US-Style CD Jewelcase artwork which is cool but I'd like to find Japanese options too.

Thank you in advance for the help, even if nothing exists.

Japanese covers are bit rarer but some of us have them and might scan them if spesific ones are requested.
I don't but if I had I'd gladly scan.

I did however download humangos collection of ready raws but 25000+ of them are unnamed I'll have to go thru them preview image by preview image on my computer.

Which ones are you after?

I appreciate that. I honestly don't know at this point. I'm just starting my Saturn adventure so I was trying to figure out where I would look when I know more specifically what I want.  I have some REALLY nice ones already that came with my Saturn lot, all repro cases from some repro vendor. They look as good as artwork on real manuals and back inserts! Guesing they made their own artwork from originals they scanned?

Is the giant dump you mentioned available anywhere, like as a Torrent file or similar? I'd gladly sort through on my own time later if I could acquire the cache. I'm attempting to get the torrent file with all kinds of unsorted stuff from the CoverGalaxy dump I found on this forum (also to reseed as it seems they dont have many people with plentiful disk storage)

Edit: I see you were posting in that thread too, so I'm guessing that's the same dump you were speaking of? Whenever that completes I'll see what I can find in there for Japanese Saturn.

Yep that is the one I mean.

There really is a se4ction that collection that has 25k+ covers of various consoles and PC all mixed up sized 53 gigs... and another even more mixed section of 117 gigs with sub folders with unknown amount of covers.
One sub folder was Saturn but it had only 20 scans, non of them were Japanese.

SegaRetro.org is probably your best bet.

Here's a link that I think might solve your problems:
https://segaretro.org/Category:Good_Saturn_JP_box_scans
If you don't want to hunt through all of that (2400+), it's a wiki, so just search for the game you want and find the "Physical scans" section on its page.

Thanks, I definitely will look through these. Seems their site is having issues currently though.
