The Cover Project - Manuals?

Post by SpaceBooger »

I have been printing out some of thecoverproject.net's DVD covers for my Saturn games. I love the idea and how nice they look, not to mention more sturdy if my kids get their hands on them, my only problem is the manuals do not fit.

Does anyone know if there is a site where templates for manuals that are either condensed or made to fit into DVD cases?

If not... I think we have an idea for a nice RB community project, since I plan on making a simple template for my own games if one does not already exist.

TCP forums have a lot of unfinished projects in them because of their relatively small userbase. might want to dig through there. shenske and lumberjack42 are two guys that work super hard over there on templates and the like, so i could see them getting behind a project like that.

i've thought more than once that if TCP and racketboy merged it could be a match made in heaven.

Knowing how super paranoid they are, they'd probably insist we completely cut our Emulation section.

IIRC there was someone there who actually did scan in the front, back, and manuals to every single Saturn game they owned...
