Dreamcast Cases with covers?

[tenchi ryu]

Anybody knows where you can get Dreamcast CD cases with covers from? Or somebody who creates replica's? I found out that K-mart sells the dreamcast Jewel CD cases, but I still need covers or booklets

The guy who Adam showcased in that video about custom CD cases said he only does custom stuff, doesn't like to do replica's.

I would really like to have some nice looking cases, and I currently don't have a printer on me...so yeah.

Funny story, I have MVC 1 the game, but no case. So I walk into the play n trade store, and there is a MVC game case staring me in the face...so I ask if I could buy the case only, and he says you have to buy the game, even though the game will probably just sit there. 40 bucks just to get a case wasn't worth in IMO, especially since I have the real game....yea, I was pissed leaving that store lol

You think buying replacement cases for NTSC games is hard ? You wanna try and replace PAL cases !

Mind you, recently I bought twenty DC games from a pawn shop for £10-just for the cases.

I swear I never have any luck. Maybe Adam knows some places, if I'm remembering correctly that he's also in the chicago area.

If I did want to make covers

would 800 x 800 px be the correct size? Cause thats the most common size on dcisozone....

The size of a standard jewel case cover is 12 x 12 cm (+ 0,5 cm to cut). 300 dpi (1417 x 1417 px) should be the minimum for good quality. Save it with a .JPG quality level of 10 or 12 (out of 12).
Everything else is too blurry/undetailed. Unworthy for a great collection.

I can send you a link to a website with high quality DC covers.

I actually had better luck bundling my single discs or incomplete games in sales, then taking the money and repurchasing a complete game. You will spend a bit of $, but you would if you were going to make a reproduction of your case too.

The best luck I had was with an ebay retailer, who accepted trades. I literally traded him all of my dreamcast games that were disc + manual only, and in return I got a few complete games, but also negotiated for some official disc/inserts for game discs + manuals I wanted to keep.

That route cost me a few games in the trade, as it obviously had to be tempting for him or he wouldn't deal. But that was probably the absolute best luck I've ever had - EVER! I tried for a month to find someone willing to do the same with my Saturn goods, but those cases are just too delecate.


I'm 99% done doing this to my entire library, which I used to keep in Vaultz cd cases with manuals in flat press storage. Now, all I have to do is find a new Resident Evil Dead Aim for ps2 (the one I repurchased sadly had reproduction artwork inserts, and the seller refuses to accept it back), and a few titles that I wouldn't miss for a few months (thunderforce 2, xmas nights, ect).



Also...if your a serious game collector, do consider reading up on disc-rot. If your going to be revising your collection, this would be the absolute best time to swap game discs if your given the opportunity.

If your just a casual gamer who probably won't care about this stuff a few years from now, then its no biggie.
