i used to doodle on papers and the discs with sharpie

[Anonymous No.9125169]

>>9125042
Yeah, I made cases for all of my burnt Dreamcast games. I also made cases with art for every game that I bought loose, just so they can all be safely and uniformly stored.

nice psot some, do you do custom spines, also do you have a particular place you get art from ive been having trouble finding good scans for some stuff

[Anonymous No.9125282]

>>9125256
I custom made my own covers. Unfortunately I'm mobileposting and don't have any photos of the finished products on hand, but pic related is a (downscaled) case cover I made.

I got all of the scans I used from different places via extensive Googlefu. There's no good resource for a wide variety of quality images for most platforms. I did get a lot from gamesdb.launchbox-app.com when I was making covers for my Gameboy games though.

Why print art for a burned game?

Also who the hell sets games on fire? It's a new trend?

[Anonymous No.9125392]

>Why print art for a burned game?
So you can easily identify the game from it's case whenever you've stored it. You could always just put a name label on it, but printing cover/spine art is more visually appealing.

Yeah this, I was storing them in one of these folder things but I noticed a couple days ago that a bunch of my discs have started rotting around the edges, they aren't event that old so decided to start putting them in cd cases hopefully they last longer

It's a cloth map that was sold in '89. I found it in a secondhand shop in Japan. I wish I had a good photo of it to share because I love the neon colors it was printed with. I don't know if this map originally came packaged with the game or what.

[Anonymous No.9125467]

Nah. I used to have a thing that let me print onto my discs, I used that for a few DC games back in the day. But making cases? Why bother when you can just put them all in a folder or on one of the disc stacks? Too much effort for a larp, the joy of cases is the manual anyway.

[Anonymous No.9125483]

>>9125042
Nope, but I do draw art on the discs.

[Anonymous No.9125484]

Yes, I have made up whole repro cases and manuals. It's worth it.

Once you get the whole case, disc, and booklet done up it's amazing how it will set off that same dopamine hit that owning the real thing gives. In some cases it even feels a little surreal when you do it with a Japanese game. You feel "what the fuck? how did this get here?" even though you just made it.

Anyone know a service that print one-off full color thermal disc printings ? Preferably ones that don't care about copyright. Thinking probably going to be a guy in China somewhere.

Cool thread.

I'm planning on making combination manual/art book/cases for each game in my burnt collection.

>front and back cover are the game's box art
>front of the booklet is the complete manual
>middle part filled with promo and concept art i track down online
>the back is a plastic CD holder glued to the inside of the rear cover

I'm infatuated with the idea right now, and I have the ability to make them, but tracking down the art and etc is what feels daunting. And it's a LOT of games too. So kind of off-putting

Tou don't have to do that. There are all kinds of custom CD cases with literature wells.

I rarely burn games, but I like to use a program called "@icon sushi" to make custom icons for all the games I emulate.
It takes a long time, but it's a great way to add a personal touch to a digital collection, and it looks awesome on a desktop.

Made a recreation of the asuka 120 cover using some upscaled parts, and some higher res parts. text at the bottom doesn't look great, I couldn't find hi res pics for that. Managed to find a magazine scan to get the artwork from

A quick look turned up this link for a decent scan of the bottom text. Should be an easy enough swap, it's on most of the Japanese boxes and this one looks to be half decent and not the 300px shit you find everywhere else.

Oh, it's a sick game. The gameplay is pretty straightforward as I'm sure you could guess; it's like Parodius, Darius or Cotton. Great music and artwork, cheesy voice acting and cutscenes.
I haven't played the sequel and honestly didn't even learn that it existed until a year ago, but I can imagine it's pretty good if it's anything like the first one.

Is it worth buying a Mega Drive over? Not on its own. The Mega CD is getting pretty expensive nowadays too. Emulate it first and see what you think about it.
I love the Mega CD but I won't pretend that there are more than like ten games I really care about playing on the thing. If I spoke Japanese I'd probably want to play like five more games on it.

[Anonymous No.9127446]

There a third one for ps1 also i haven't looked at that at all though, the second one is more of a platformer than a shmup it does have some shmup levels tho

No clue. I don't really know much about Mega Drive clones. M2 is releasing another mini Mega Drive soon that's coming with some Mega CD games but it's not exactly cheap either.
