Is it the quality of the camera, or are the covers actually pixalated like that. If they aren't and it is the camera, nice job, I can help with getting some scans if you need them.

It's the camera....its like 1 megapixel and my hands were shaky wen i was taking them (doesnt have a fast shutter speed)....ill try to get a hold of a better camera to show u how they really look.

also I have scans of almost every cover whether JAP, US, or PAL...if i find any i need Ill see if you got though....what I'm primarily looking for is cd scans....cause they're aren't many of those availible.

Also before someone brings this up...i realize that on thecoverproject.com they have dvd size cases like mine...but all they do is take a full scan of a cover and shrink the side bar.....and that's it....i i have a template so that the side bar and front bar are always a perfect white with a brighter sega logo then the original. I also dont like the little brownish greyish...w/e color they...diagonal bars that are on some saturn covers so I always get rid of them. Plus thecoverproject.com doesnt have many covers even there...I made th Sonic R one first becaus ei had that game and needed a case as to not wreck the cd <.<

Plus i think mine are a higher resolution.

Very nice. I personally don't see much use in converting old games into DVD shells, because then you got all the old cases laying around, serving no purpose.

Thanks! However I'm not doing it just for old games that have cases...its for games that I have that dont have cases and for burnt games to keep them organized and professional looking. I printed out and inserted two more into cases tonight, the radiant silvergun one and guardian heroes. As you can tell I modified the radiant silvegrun one with some fo the US pictures...like the 1-2 players...and i added a rating K-A....the most pointless rating ever =P You could slap that thing on any game and it'd be a-okay. Guardian heroes is a cross between the PAL front cover and the U.S. back cover...cause in my opinion the U.S. case look awful along with the logo for it....so i edited the back of the U.S. case with the PAL logo and put the pal logo on the side. Hopefully I'll be able to get some high quality pics up tonight. Gotta finish the homework first though <.<

I'm gonna have to repost all this info im posting here in the other forum....lol...this forums much more active...that one is a netlink league....which I'm sure everyone's figured out.

I think it is a great idea for people with games that have missing case. Personally, I like mine just the way it is, in its original case as it was meant to be. That's just a collector's mentality I guess. Also, for the Japanese version, I like my spine card with its CD case. I like its uniqueness.

I like original cases too and I keep game sin their original cases...but i don't wanna play the originals and wreck them...so I make backups and thats why I'm mostly making these cases...so my backups look less....sloppy.

I keep it inside the case with the booklet. The spine is held together using the top and bottom inner taps that hold the booklet in place.

Man I wish I could make copies for my Saturn and Dreamcast games. I just don't know how. However, if I can make copies for them, I won't pamper them like you do. No special treatment for them because they don't deserve it. Only the original deserve all the worshipping. HE HE HE.
