Ugh. Between this and the DC thread I think I'm going to be deleting some posts soon.

Cant wait for uploads to work again.....
But! While we're on the topic  



Because I'm sure we all have one to play our imports. Because i work with the music industry and we do not support piracy  .

I don't have this model, but I do have something close.  Hell, i'de buy this for the 4MB RAM.  No more slow framerates

Honest, Doom - I just wanted to show off my template!

YES! I like your template too. I have a bunch of Japanese Saturn games for cheap!  I made these before i joined the forums (and no wonder it wasnt accepted lol).

By the way: are you any good with japanese? I have a bunch of japanese fonts. I can help you make some nice high rez template. Such as the little green square on the front covers (which is in KATAKANA [i believe]) and i can only pick up some hiragana.

I'm a Japanese major, so I know my way around the language. most of the Japanese I retyped but then just started copy/pasting to get my idea across.. if it ever takes off, i'd like to retype everything.

Which model do you have? if you have a pic i can place it on the cover. Make it your own  . Plus these things are dirt cheap right now. Dont fall for a hype about them being super rare. At most brand new you could pay 30-35$ TOPS. I seen a site tryna sell the same one i paid 7$ for about $150!!

So i say we collaborate. I vector, you type. At least for some of the common smaller logos to start. what do you think? i'been going crazy looking for 1 character in that huge list of characters lol. like they say 2 heads are better than one

Sounds great, whatever you need me to do - as long as we get these Japanese games cased, I'm all for it!!

The past month or two, Irvgotti452 and I have been working on a Japanese Sega Saturn template. We've finished the template and put a few covers together to showcase it.

Here is a link to the template!
http://www.box.net/shared/fun58s5rt7


It's a fairly comprehensive template - all logos, company info, and Japanese text has been retyped and has a translated title (in the layers list) for those of you who aren't familiar with the language. The yellow info box on the back includes layers for every genre, accessory, etc all clearly labeled and ready to go. It even includes the サタコレ (Satakore - basically Greatest Hits) branding and all of the SEGA ratings.

I'm big on retail, I understand that sometimes (especially CD -> DVD case conversion) you have to just make it work. I love the style of all of my Japanese cases, so I wanted to keep that as close to a retail feeling as possible.

The spines are up to you, I love that the spines are different on Japanese Saturn releases... some are just white with black text (Vertical or Horizontal), while some (Grandia and Christmas Nights) below have their own styles. I love this, I feel like it gives each game it's own character - but I understand some people like the consistency of making the spines white with black text - it's in the template regardless of which you choose!

I'm fairly sure uploads are still down, so these are only IMANDIX previews - but here's 5 I put together over the past week. The only Satakore branded game I could find in the raws was Saturn Bomberman (I don't own any Satakore games myself) it's not finished but I uploaded a preview anyway to show everybody what the Satakore branding looks like!

Phew! Thoughts? Comments? Criticism?

Baku Baku Animal


Christmas NiGHTS


Grandia


Radiant Silvergun


Snatcher


Saturn Bomberman (サタコレ) INCOMPLETE!

Hello Argobeat,

I just saw your Saturn JP DVD case conversions.  I think they look awsome.  I was reading that you like the original factory package.  So do I, which brings me to my next question.  Do you have a coppy of JP Bug Too?  That is the only game that I am missing a back for.  I have the manual, but need the back case and spines.  If you did have a copy and could throw up a rear scan it would help me a lot.

No, I'm sorry I don't :/

Post it up in the request forum, I've posted there before with some success.
Looking for JP Policenauts, though - if you have it

Glad you like the template!

I got this one (same thing, just another brand)

Excellent work on those covers! Glad to see my raw scans getting put to good use.

I have the PlayStation version of Policenauts (which I am incidentally trying to get scanned today), if that would be of any help...

That would be a start Jigsaw!

And, to be honest, I've been waiting for a chance to bust out your raws!

So when do we get a link to this template?
