Hello to all. I've just joined recently and have been enjoying the covers provided here.
I wish to re-case my entire PS1 collection into DVD cases, and so far I've found a great number of cases here for my games already!
Here is my list of games I'd like to request custom covers for. My preferences are for horizontal (PS2 style) cases either custom or retail is fine by me. NTSC US format, please.
- Alundra
- Alundra 2
- Bushido Blade
- CTR(Crash Team Racing)
- Dragon Valor
- Guardian's Crusade
- Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu
- Star Ocean The Second Story
- Tales of Destiny II
- Vandal Hearts
- Warhawk (Raws: Back and Front Cover (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Sony%20-%20PS1/mazut.retail.raw_ps1_ps1_warhawk_back.jpg), Instruction Book (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Sony%20-%20PS1/mazut.retail.raw_ps1_ps1_warhawk_front.jpg), Spine (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Sony%20-%20PS1/mazut.retail.raw_ps1_ps1_warhawk_spine.jpg)) (Raws uploaded by Mazut, not by me.)
- Wild 9 (Raws: Back Cover (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Sony%20-%20PS1/diazflac.retail.raw_ps1_wild9back.jpg), Disc (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Sony%20-%20PS1/diazflac.retail.raw_ps1_wild9disc.jpg), Front Cover (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Sony%20-%20PS1/diazflac.retail.raw_ps1_wild9front.jpg))
These are the only games I have left that I did not find covers for on this site. The other 40ish I own have been taken care of already. Thanks to the creators and their efforts thus far. :D
Now some notes:
Guardian's Crusade - If anyone else is looking for this, check here http://www.cdcovers.cc/view/394288/front/guardians-crusade-ntsc-custom (http://www.cdcovers.cc/view/394288/front/guardians-crusade-ntsc-custom) That's one less one for my list. Thanks to Mick Dundee, again! :)
Warhawk - This appears to already have raws scanned for it. The reason I'm even asking for this one is because my copy of Warhawk is a cd jewel case version, and not the original long box format like mazut has uploaded.
Well I guess that's about it. I really appreciate anyone who's willing to take the time and effort to create something for any of these games, whether my scans prove useful or not. I hope to one day have my entire PS1 and PS2 collection intermingle side-by-side in DVD cases, and I'm getting close to that goal :)
Thanks to: Mr. Ben, Mick Dundee, and M47R1X, for your help thus far.
-
I need a cover for Dragon Valor, too, since I have it, as well.
-
I'm afraid I can only say one thing about your raw scans... DESCREEN!!!!!
-
I apologize in advance for the moire problem, but apparently my scanner is unable to properly utilize the descreen effect.
I even tried at 200dpi as a test....and nothing.... :(
I also don't have photoshop or any knowledge to use it, and no other scanners available at my disposal. So...that's about as good as I can get them, unfortunately.
Are they all totally useless basically? I tried following the scanning guide best I could, but the part about manual descreen didn't really help me much since I only have Paint Shop Pro X, and paint.net at my disposal. I'd glady fix them if I knew of a way.
-
I'm Glad someone can use my Guardian's Crusade cover. I added it to their site because its not good enough quality for here. My skills and programs aren't up to par with the CP crew.
-
Woah, that was yours? Much kudos for that. It's awesome. I already have it saved, just waiting on my new dvd cases to arrive so I can print it out. It looked really good to me...and good resolution and everything too (most of the stuff on there I've run across is like...72dpi, really low resolution, and even worse than my raws I scanned above).
I'll definitely use it. Thank you for making it. It's too bad they wouldn't accept it here though. Oh, and don't feel bad, your skills are a lot better than mine... if that makes you feel any better 8)

well...if you tolerated Guardian's Crusade.....

And I Might have a few more, but not for a while...I'm re-casing my ps1 games into half height DVD cases. But I'm lazy and lack motivation

I can sympathize with that. I sat down this afternoon to re-case a load of DC stuff and ended up playing Neo Geo games instead. Re-cased a grand total of...zero. ;)

This (http://www.cdcovers.cc/view/184966/front/star-ocean-the-second-story-dvd-custom) is more of an example of something I would have to 'tolerate'. No offense to the creator of course. It's better than having nothing, and I may use it given a lack of alternatives, but...
So, yeah. That Alundra one works just fine for me. Thanks again! ;D
I realize there are standards that need to be met to ensure only the highest quality designs will be presented here. Honestly though, anything like either your Guardian's Crusade cover or this Alundra one I would appreciate. They look very nice to me, and I will be using them both. They may not be up to the standards for this site, but they are more than enough for my own.
-
It might not be the scanner but the software you're using? You could use different programs besides the ones your scanner comes bundled with.
-
Yeah actually I think I just found something a few minutes ago that is helping quite a bit.
It figures it would take me this long to find the "Moire Pattern Removal" function in Paint Shop Pro ::)
I'm currently editing what I have so that I can replace what I've already uploaded with new versions.
EDIT: Okay, I've replaced the files I uploaded previously with new, hopefully better versions. Links in the OP should still work.

Yo, I made a Star Ocean Second Story (PS1) cover. Two in fact. Over on the PS1 covers thread, page 53. You're quite welcome.http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=1058.780

I second that request for CTR :P
-
Most excellent Star Ocean covers M47R1X. I will certainly partake, and make good use of them. Thanks for your trouble!
For what it's worth, great job on the recent Legend of Dragoon and PE2 covers you made also. I like them even better than the ones I was using previously.

My Effort on a Dragon Valor (Theres not much material out there)
I know the front looks a bit empty, it was intentional, hoping it will look quite good when it's in a box.
any thoughts?

hmm...let's see...my thoughts would be... "sweet!" :D
Seriously, that's pretty nice. It took me a second or two to get used to the front, but honestly the
simplicity of it really kind of adds to it in a way...I guess it's one of those 'less is more' kind of things... if that makes any sense. I definitely like it. Thanks for your trouble.
I'll be seeing firsthand how it looks in a box here in a few minutes, though my gut already says "great!" if that helps any.
-
I've been waiting for a cover for Dragon Valor. If you could make that vertical, I'd be a happy guy.
-
And a Verticle version, although i dont think it came out as well as the horz.

Alundra 2 on the ps1 DVD covers thread for you as well
EDIT
And Jade Cocoon as well
-
Awesome! Much thanks. Grabbing those two up as I type this. The Dragon Valor cover looks great when cased btw :) It's sitting on my shelf now.
Where did you find that awesome logo for Jade Cocoon? Did you make it yourself or was it from something else? I never noticed anything even remotely close to that style for the logo in the official packaging, but I really like it.
-
it's actually from the japanese soundtrack, it's nice isn't it?
thanks by the way, good to know i can make some worthwhile covers ^.^
-
Vandal hearts awaits you in yonder ps1 DVD thread
-
Another one? Man, you've been busy! Much thanks again. I like what you did with it. The logo looks nice too.
Too bad the back inlay is such a crappy "bleh" kind of picture...not much to work with but you managed to make it look pretty nice regardless. The front inlay is one giant Suikoden ad, so that doesn't help much either :D
-
haha, yeah, it was kinda an 'underground' release at the time, and 10 years down theres very little art work around :(
i'll have a crack at your others tomorrow, but for now it's pub time :)
*EDIT*
Tales of Destiny 2 done. only a few left now ;)
*DOUBLE EDIT*
Bushido Blade too
3 to go :D
-
Wow, thanks again. Seriously. This is awesome. I think they all look very nice so far. You've done a ton already, so if you don't feel like continuing I'd totally understand and I'm grateful for what you've given thus far. If you don't mind doing the last couple on my list though while you're at it I'd appreciate it very much.
I'm sure I'm not the only one using these covers you've made either, especially considering there aren't any dvd style covers for most of these on this site (or anywhere else I know of for that matter). Printing 'em out now. Thanks again for your help.
-
I'll finish them off, just give me a day or two, got a bit of a frantic schedule coming up ^.^
i'll message you links when they're done :)
-
Really? Thanks very much. I really do appreciate it. I'm sure at least a few others besides me do too.
No worries about the time it takes, there's no deadlines or anything, and I'm not in a hurry :)
-
Sorry It's been a while.
CTR for your inspection :)
