Long story short, I can find fuckall online about how to safely disassemble these later PAL region PS1 cases. Anybody have any experience with it? Already totaled one getting a damaged case off my copy of Ace Combat 2, I'd rather not destroy the replacement too. Only resources I can find online are talking about either earlier cases or US ones.

I just use a knife as a wedge to slowly remove the CD holder part. It's exactly like dealing with regular jewel cases, except you need to be more careful.

Unless you're dealing with something different?

I see, I'll have to give that a shot when my replacements get here. I've also got a spare CD tray so if worst comes to worst, I can snap the tabs on the old tray and just replace it. Also curious if the donor game is any good. Never played 'Guardian's Crusade' but I may as well while I'm at it.

Thanks. That's what I was doing to disassemble my PAL case but it just broke. I might have been using an NTSC knife though. I'll try to find a PAL knife and try again.

At least you weren't trying to use a SECAM swiss army knife, I hear that ends real poorly.
