About This File

As I own a European Dreamcast, this started as a project to get the EU covers sorted out so that BigBox would look good. There are a lot of good quality scans in the LB db and online, but most of the backs have the spines attached and a notch where the back slotted into the EU case. As we don't yet have an EU case (deeper than the NA and JP cases with a notch where the hinge is) - I decided to split the spines out and fill in the notches. 

This isn't limited to just EU, I have also tidied up the North American "Exclusives" that the EU didn't get, and included some notable Japanese games that are English "friendly" :) 


Specifics:
(noting that for the default EU, NA and JP cases to work by region, you'll need to set the region within the games metadata first)

European

  • Where necessary, front covers have been tweaked to remove damage and roughly colour matched
  • Backs have had their top/bottom right "notches" filled in
  • Spines have been separated out and edges cleaned up
  • A lot of logo's created / modified to match the EU fronts
     
  • Shenmue and Shenmue II became a sub-project to get their spines to accurately reflect the box end showing the 2x cases inside (thanks to @goofers for your template assistance). I've included a separate 7z with the other end of the Shenmue cases if you prefer the flat edge version i.e. not the 2x jewel cases inside end (hopefully one day we'll be able to assign left / right / top / bottom images to boxes and then you can use both).

    If you do want to replicate the look - override the default case to a box, force the Box background colour     [ R:65 G:106 B:160 ] and uncheck the "draw image logo" top side option...oh, and don't convert the front / back Shenmue / Shenmue II box images to jpg (from png) otherwise you'll lose the transparency effect of the cut outs
     
  • ...and finally - I've modified the LB Platform Dreamcast logo to have a blue pixel to reflect the EU console model look :) 
     

North American

  • Not a lot done with the fronts or backs
  • Spines cleaned up - or where the resolution was low - recreated in PowerPoint
  • A few logo's created / modified


Japanese

  • Fronts and backs colour matched. Some AI upscaled
  • Spines cleaned up - or where the resolution was low - recreated in PowerPoint
  • A few logo's created / modified

    Japanese game specifics:

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon DX - should have the default case over-ridden to a Jewel case with Solid Spine

  • Cosmic Smash / Karous / Triggerheart Exelica / Under Defeat - all should have the default case over-ridden to a DVD case

  • Last Hope: Pink Bullets - should have the default case over-ridden to a DVD case and force the background colour [ R:235 G:67 B:158 ]


Ad-hoc Updates

  • For the odd update - such as the updated "NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC" logo - I've added it to the screenshots to save re-uploading the whole Clear Logo 7z (plus saves everyone from having to download the file again for one new logo)
  • 15th August - added Nightmare Creatures II updated logo to the screenshots
  • 16th August - added a separate 7z file for "Golf Shiyouyo: Kouryaku Pack" as (I believe) you would need this game to access the "Golf Shiyouyo: Course Data Shuu: Adventure-hen" course data disc
