PS1 Custom DVD Cover Art - Calling all artistic CAGers!

[Ruined]

I have made custom PS1 DVD case artwork for the following games. However I need help with a batch of new ones. First, this is what I've made. I will provide pics in the following pages. If you come up with one off my "need" list, that would be cool. I will post the pics in the reply after this.

wow, great job on the dvd cover art! i really like the castlevania:sotn cover :D

[Backlash]

Nice work! Very impressive.

However, wouldn't we want to use CD cases for PS1 games (since they were all originally released that way)? If I had a bunch of disc-only games, I'd prefer to use cd cases so I could display them along with my other PS1 games that are in the original cases.

I guess that some people like to have all their games in one type of box, so that they're all even sizes on a shelf.

Those look pretty nice, though a couple, like the FF9 box, are a bit sparse. Keep up the good work.

Yeh, as the poster above stated with DVD-sized PS1 cases I can put my PS1, PS2, and XBOX games all on the same shelf. So I can have all the Final Fantasy games together, all the street fighter games together, all the Rayman games together etc. I already have original CD art for all the above games, idea was to resize it so it matched the boxes of modern games. Looks nice for a collection :)

[erehwon]

Those are very nice. These could be very good for the people who got tons games from that sale at game crazy.

[cthcky33]

i would love to use these, tho some of the 4 disc games are gonna be too hard to get into dvd cases

[Mr. Anderson]

Yeah, how do you expect to get 4 CDs into a DVD case?

[cthcky33]

obviously some of those covers are made for the multi disc dvd cases, but i have yet to find anywhere to get those cases one at a time, just like 50 at a time

[Scahom1]

Awesome job!

[doodle777_98]

great job. I have a disc only chrono cross and apperciate the image.

[doodle777_98]

Do you have any templates OP?

[Ruined]

i would love to use these, tho some of the 4 disc games are gonna be too hard to get into dvd cases

The 4/5 disc covers are specifically designed for the dimensions of the Alpha Multipak 5 disc version

The multipaks hold 4 pr 5 discs depending on the configuration of the hard plastic "pages" you insert and they have a spot for the instructions :)

The FF7 cover is designed for the Alpha slim 3 multipak

[js1]

Do you have any templates OP?

that's what I want to know. Also I always thought we should try to do custom ps2 covers/ or at least use the art work from diffrent regions(with proper us ratings & english back side)

[js1]

I would LOVE to get involved in this but, I don't have photoshop or any art computer tools needed for this.

[megashock5]

I'll try to help. I've used Photoshop professionally for almost ten years. It's late tonight though, and tomorrow's my wife's birthday party so it might be a day or so.

Also, I don't have the games listed but if I can find some hi-rez images online anywhere I'll definitely contribute.

[taiidanx]

I'll have the time in the coming weeks (read sunday onward) to put some effort into this project. I've got the soft ware and such, just no scanner.
Ruined, if you have templates or raw pics to work with I would be happy to help.

[Ruined]

edit: TEMPLATES MOVED TO FIRST POST IN THREAD

Just worry about the cover/spine/rear artwork. I can throw on the little logos like the NTSC, ESRB stuff, # of players, and whatnot. For the games I need artwork for I have no images atm, I usually hunt on the net for pics or scan text from sequels to get the right font. Or I find the japanese art, or I crop the CD art.

I will probably start work on SFA1 and SFA2 next.

[Ruined]

So anyone working on anything? my SFA1 cover art should be up in a couple of hours.

Also, I accidently uploaded and old, lower quality PS1 single DVD case template, which is now fixed in the above link. Modified SFA3 cover to match SFA1 as well.

[erehwon]

I would like to help, but I've never really done anything in Photoshop. Could you do this work in the GIMP? Also how have you been doing these covers? Are those just the covers from the psx case and stretched to fit on the DVD case and that template placed on top of that?

You need to have a photo editor capable of cropping, bilinear resizing, and cut/paste functions. Since most PSX covers are CD-sized, just stretching the cover would look terrible. So you have to find art on the internet and mess around with the case to make it look cool somehow :)

[erehwon]

I think the GIMP can probably do that. I might mess around with this in my spare time. Do you have any good sites to get art from?

[SuprTnr2]

Are you printing these on your home computer, or like taking 'em to Kinko's?

This morning I've been trying to learn how to use the GIMP and find some images. I was trying to look for art of Legend of Mana and Einhander. There's not that much. I've also been trying to find wallpapers, which I could use some of the art from those.

That Street Fighter one is pretty good. I just wish I could find some more art like that front cover.

SFA1 was pretty much a straght scan from the box with the appropriate logos added.

SFA2, the front picture was art from a fansite, which I superimposed the SFA2 logo on that I copied off the NA cover of the game.

I've got a template of this PSD if someone can host 35mgs.

[DMFunk]

Currently Working on:

Darkstalkers 3: Done, May need to fix the back up a little bit, and needs proper sized ESRB Items. (Cover art is beautiful on this one.)
Brave Fencer Musashi: Front is done, back needs some work

I'll put them both up when I get back to my place on monday.

[erehwon]

I'm working on a Legend of Mana cover right now. Here (http://img66.echo.cx/img66/1729/lomcaseexample0im.jpg) is the cover so far. I really only have the front cover done. I just added the back part to see how it would look. I need to work on that.

I've been using the GIMP. I've had to figure out how to do somethings for the first time. The legend of mana logo was on a white background. I put it on a separate layer from the front background and erased the white background. That was quite tedious to separate that logo from the white background. Does anyone know an easier way to do that? The only way I could enlarge the image was to use a tool that stretched the image.

I think I did pretty good for my first attempt. I just need to work on the back now.

[erehwon]

I did some more work. How's this?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/TheDMFunk/ds3.jpg

[Mookyjooky]

I dont see why anyone would want to make PSone games look like PS2 games.

I've modeled mine after the PSone long boxes...if you wanted the true feel...you should host my .psd and you can make them look like an actual PSone game except a PS2 knock off.

[Mookyjooky]

Plus, your rez and size on those are way to low... use mine as a template for size and rez.

they're gonna print like crap.

The PS2 mockup matches better on a shelf than the long box mockup.

The xenogears cover is nice. I do have a question on how you do the back cover. How do you do that? You mentioned that I would need a photo editor that had bilinear resizing. Do you know of any programs that have that? I'm not sure if the GIMP has that, or atleast I haven't found it.

[Scorch]

Sweet Xenogears cover. How about some love for Parasite Eve 1 and 2?

If you printed some of these off, I would most definately buy them from you. The spine on the earlier ones (Final Fantasy) seem big, though.

Yeah. If they were printed on high glossy paper, i'd definately buy some of these from you. My brother would love something like this.

I thought the same about the big spines also, but Ruined mentioned that those are for the Alpha Multipak(sp?) DVD cases. From this link (http://www.inetdvd.com/store/tmp_product_new2003.asp?id=16208) its a multiple DVD/CD case.

Also MookyJooky did you ever release your custom art for the ps1 games? I'd love to have some of those on my wall.

I had a bunch of non finished and only one finished.

post #34 in this thread is my only finished one. But if someone wants to host the 35 meg .psd file and use it as a template thats fine by me.

It's modeled closely to the orignal PS1 longboxes.... but I'm all about nostalgics.

I put up links to stores you can buy the actual cases in the first post in the thread:
http://cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1039269&postcount=1

The FF cases have big spines because the cases hold 3-5 discs plus the manual depending on the FF game, while a regular sized DVD case can only hold 1-2 discs plus the manual.

As for purchasing, I cannot sell the cases because the would be copyright infringement. Also, I do not use high gloss paper because the gloss sticks to the plastic of the DVD case and looks terrible. I recommend using Epson Matte Paper Heavyweight, when in the case it looks the same as original artwork. For cutting the paper I recommend the Dahle 507 rolling trimmer, much better than the choppers or low quality trimmers. For a printer I would go with one of the Epson Photo inkjets.

Basically, I took the back cover, cropped it cutting off the right half of the rear cover that had screenshots, resized it and superimposed the ESRB teen box over the Squaresoft logo that was chopped in half.

That'd be sweet, but then we run into issues with instruction books and whatnot..

but you're right.. that would save me a ton of space!

[evanft]

Hey, could you possibly upload some higher-res versions, like png or tif? JPEG compression kills the pics when you look at them really close.

FANTASTIC work though. I would immediately start printing these out and ordering cases if I had a nice printer and 234234 cartridges.

Yea that's the only problem, but I still think I might start the project, as I'm quite bored atm, what with becoming unemployed later today.

[punqsux]

im all for it, i freakin hate dvds cases

to make things easier though, we should leave out the "behind the disc" art, because it would be hard to line it up properly, and it would be more expensive to print

this could be fun though, the whole "downsizing" aspect of the artwork could allow for an esier use of custom covers.

[CouRageouS]

You don't like DVD cases? But CD cases always end up cracking and what not. They should make DVD cases around the size of NDS boxes, that would save up some room.

[magius360]

Argh... I keep trying to make a cover for Digimon World but GIMP 2.2 keeps freezing...
and my computer is built for heavy cpu usage like this!

One question - are you re-typing the text from the boxes or are you reusing the text from the boxes? I found reusing the text would cause a blurry mess, while re-typing it stands out more.

[bmw86model]

I think someone already asked, but covers for both Parasite Eve games would rock.

a small note on yours sneaky, could we move the ntsc/uc logo to under the ps logo on the top of the side banner?

im attempting to emulate ps1 cases fully in my design, unless you like it better over on the corner ^^

also, since you said that was your template, there are quite a few small white pixels on the sidebar

man, im a real slave driver!

i guess this would sorta be the most appropriate place to put it - i was looking for a good dvd cover art for my swapmagic 3.6 discs - i tried that cdcovers.cc place, but most look pretty unprofessional. there was one nice plain b and w design, but they only made a dvd one, and the cover had a little too much stuff still needing to be touched up on (odd black smudges and such.). would anyone be willing to whip up ones for the cd and dvd discs?

Has anyone thought about using some of the artwork from Saturn cases for the games that were released on both systems? Might save some time, but I don't know how available Saturn case scans are...

I don't know about needing to use them for the playstation cases, but some Saturn DVD cases would be cool as well. I was bored and did a slackjob one for Croc on Saturn. What do you think:

It is surprisingly easy to get the Saturn case artwork to fit on the DVD size artwork with just a little skewing of the image dimensions. Maybe this could be another new project?

This is something I've been kicking around in my head since May when I got a Saturn and some disc only games. Seeing the mockup, I'd say let's do it! :)

If I can help (file hosting, etc), let me know.

The thing is though, I don't actually have any Saturn games though. I just like working on cases, I thought it was time for me to come up with my own original.

Hello,

I'm new to the site and was wondering if there were any more PS1 DVD covers on the way (because you guys are doing a magnificent job). I too have a few that I might be able to add to the collection as well if there is interest.. Anyway, thanks for your time.

Scott

[erehwon]

It's been awhile since I've seen this thread. I don't know what happened. I think most people stopped work on it. I did some work on one, but I never finished it. I just never decided if I liked these more than the regular style ps1 cases.

[mbright220]

I think they look great and it helps line up all those series that are on both systems like Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy etc.

[Gary_Oak]

These covers are all great ! Someone please continue doing more of them.

[CYRiX]

If anyone could provide some longbox-type scans of pictures/logos of a game I might be able to compile a decent cover for you.

[peteloaf]

Just found this thread and I'm realy enjoying it - I'm currently working on a cover for Persona 2, though I can only get so far right now. Tomorrow, I can use the scanner at my work and get some realy good scans for it. As soon as it's done I'll post it here.

[peteloaf]

Here's a start - I just used what images I could google - I took a little artistic liberty with it and rather than just do a straight conversion I did it in the style that atlus has been using lately (Magna Carta, etc) Let me know what everybody thinks. Also if anybody wants a higher resolution version PM me and I'll send an uncompressed PDF. (Imageshack won't let me post an uncompressed version...)

Only non-RPGs I thought were worth owning on the PS1 were the MGS games, Castlevania SOTN (best game ever), and Metal Slug X. I love RPGs though so I got my money's worth out of the system.

If needed, I can try to get some artwork for these.

[ShimSham]

So I'm new here, had some friends from PA I knew that posted here and I got started making these covers. Not that great at it right now but yeah. The few I've made are a little rough around the edges at parts.

I took down the hi-res version of my green VR Missions case. There were a lot of mistakes that I couldn't really see until I printed it out. I'm going to fix it then repost.

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c279/ShimSham2/VRgrnsm2.jpg

(high resolution version has the spine text positioned slightly differently from preview above)
I also noticed this one looks awful printed in black and white. I'm going to print it in color tomorrow. If it doesn't look right after that, then I might just scrap it.

I hope Ruined doesn't mind but I took his FFVII cover, which I loved but changed the front and added the 3-discs to the spine.

By the way, it seems there are a lot of covers in this topic so far, do you guys think Snowcone would like to host them at the SnackBar?

[CYRiX]

Doesn't really matter. Plus theres only like 10 people who use these.

[4tygames]

I think it does matter. There are sooooo many PlayStation games I find at garage sales and game stores without a case. I like the DVD case idea. Go ahead and give a PM to Snowcone. Just remember to upload your covers to the website.

How much would that cost, and should I use a special type of paper they might have there? I'm pretty clueless :D

At my Kinkos it costs $0.20 per minute to use their computer and then $1 per color printout. Sizing is the key part, make sure you know beforehand what program printing under what options will give you the right size, otherwise you'll go there and waste money. Information on the right paper is on the first page.

Sounds complicated o_x

[peteloaf]

My suggestion is to go to a local print shop rather than a Kinko's, as the people behind the counter will generally have a better idea of what you are doing and what you're looking for.

[4tygames]

If you can find one. These days everything is turning into Kinko's. But yes, I think a local print shop would definitely be more helpful than Kinko's.

For those of us waiting for Resident Evil DVD covers.. this may be a stroke of genius (at least for those of us who need RE2 and RE3:N).

Take the GameCube DVD covers for those two games and just copy the stuff onto a PS2 template. You'd have to replace a few things, like the Nintendo seal of quality, but I bet it could be done rather easily. I suck at image editing, otherwise I'd give it a shot myself. I might even make a lameass attempt later.

[4tygames]

There is a high quality Resident Evil 2 scan from the Nintendo 64 Cover Project that could be used - Click Here (http://snackbar-games.com/images/gbacovers/n64_residentevil2.jpg).

oh snap I just realized all of your case have a Black background on the PS logo on the spine when it should be a white...

[gamerdude5]

oh snap I just realized all of your case have a Black background on the PS logo on the spine when it should be a white...

yeah, i actually did that on purpose. it helps to make a distinction between the psx and ps2 games.

i.e. -

ps2 games have the white background
psx games have the black background

now what really throws it off is that ps2 greatest hits games also have the black background. *sigh* (of course, the red spine stands out though on these;)).

you may also notice that i didn't include the slus # on the spine (cause i didn't want to be that anal ;)) and the front cover "header" block is a bit thicker (vertically) than ps2 games. this helps reduce the amount the front image needs to be stretched, and also a small visual distinction between psx & ps2.


p.s. - also, some of the earlier ones i did have the back cover cropped too close on the left and right sides, thus truncating some text. this is because i had trimmed them down before i decided to start scanning them & making covers. just an fyi in case you want to use these.

whats a slim dvd case.. are they the normal dvd cases?

[gamerdude5]

are they the normal dvd cases? no

whats a slim dvd case.. slim dvd cases are literally half the size of a regular dvd case. do you know how they started making "slim" cd jewel cases? same deal but w/ dvd cases.

you can't really tell the size difference from this link, but here are the ones that I personally buy. (memorex slim dvd cases - clear)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001MKU48/002-1491316-8794412?v=glance&n=172282

you can also buy these in-store at:
k-mart (cost ~$13.00/25pack)
staples (cost ~$20.00/25pack)

note: you can buy these in black or clear. i personally like the clear because it hides fingerprints on the plastic better, and allows the possibility to print an image on the inside as well as the outside.

p.s. - to get the clear, slim "double" cases (holds 2 discs)... i have only seen these at staples (staples branded) (cost ~$16.00/20pack).
http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaplesProductDisplay?prodCatType=1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&productId=102420&cmArea=SEARCH
i have not seen these anywhere else in the "clear" variety.

You can probably still print these out on regular cases, you just need resize the image.

The only thing I don't really like is the contrast I have between the front/spine and the back.

Not to mention, Vagrant Story wasn't made by SquareEnix, like it was in GamerDude's cover. It's Squaresoft, this is pre-2002 or so.

[CYRiX]

i like it except does the glow of the spine need to strech onto the back of the cover too?

[ShimSham]

i like it except does the glow of the spine need to strech onto the back of the cover too? Yeah that wasn't intentional.

I'm not exactly the most experienced with Photoshop, and in photoshop, the glow on both the front and spine wasn't as big as it ended up being when turned into a jpg.

I just haven't felt like trying to figure out why and fixing it.

[ShimSham]

I really like both of those, but one very small detail you missed on the Alpha cover was the NTSC at the top on the front.

I missed doing that too on my earlier covers, I never felt like going back to fix it though. Just pointing it out.

[CYRiX]

well anyways i think their pretty good if you can resize those without pixelation.

[gamerdude5]

Not to mention, Vagrant Story wasn't made by SquareEnix, like it was in GamerDude's cover. It's Squaresoft, this is pre-2002 or so.

I'm used to making movie covers, which finding images in 300dpi is much easier. I thought I would share with you guys on what I'm working on. Its a Final Fantasy collection.

If anyone can make me one for NBA Showtime then I'd be a happy man. I'd prefer it to be fitted for a slim DVD case, ready to print (size right) and for it to retain the original artwork on the front. Thanks! :) :D

[lumo]

Almost done this Einhander cover. A Classic Squaresoft game. Any feedback would be great :)

By the way Snowcone, both American and European covers qualify to be on Snackbar Games or just the American ones? It's just that I noticied that there are some people around the web that seem to like more the American style covers than the European ones and vice-versa.

[CYRiX]

just mark them as [EU] or something.

Select the appropriate dropdown in the list and the file gets named according to it's country.

We should differentiate which are for slim and which are for regular, because I'm confused...

I stumbled on this thread while trying to find Hi-Res images for a game cover I'm working on. Its cool to see other people had the same idea. I'm used to making movie covers, which finding images in 300dpi is much easier. I thought I would share with you guys on what I'm working on. Its a Final Fantasy collection. I still have the .PSD file, so the names could always be moved around.

I can set the upload page and the PS1 section to denote that as well.

[TimPV3]

Could somebody post a picture of their Slim DVD cases with these covers? I'm very interested in this, but I'd like to see what the finished product looks like, maybe next to a PS2 game if possible, but really anything would be appreciated.

[Snowcone]

I dumped most/all of Ruineds covers into the database this morning: http://www.snackbar-games.com/gbacovers.php?cat=ps1

Ruined, are you interested in doing a FAQ/Write Up as well as send me your template?

[Rozz]

I did one for a more obscure game - A-Train.

This is my first PSX one, so can anyone tell me how I did, design-wise? Thanks.

I picked up a couple of Playstation games the other day dirt cheap and I would like to contribute to this thread by posting the scans of these games. I tried to scan in as much as possible so making a DVD cover of these games should be pretty easy.

Hey dashobbity,

Think you could possibly create covers of the scans I posted on the last page? Many thanks!

[CocheseUGA]

Wow, this is getting a ton more traffic than the DC thread...possibly due to the quick agreement on the template. I still think I want to do this, then I realized my CD cases were the exact same height as my DS cases.

Hmm...what to do? Plus, none of my games have been done yet.

[dashobbity]

hey, 4tygames, lemme take a look, and ill see what i can do....*goes in search of 4tygames's list of ps1 games....*

[dashobbity]

hey hey kids...i got "the italian job" 98 percent finished, and im working on "spider: the video game" cover conversion...and....

im also working on a AD&D Iron and Blood: Warriors of Ravenloft cover conversion. yes, i know, not the best game, but, hey, i liked it...lol


anyhoo, ill try to convert any cover possible....

the italian job will be posted shortly...like, tues or so...

Anyone know if Kinkos will print these? I tried Officemax and they wouldn't do it.

[4tygames]

Thanks a bunch dashobbity! Can't wait for the covers!

[CocheseUGA]

Anyone know if Kinkos will print these? I tried Officemax and they wouldn't do it.

Maybe, maybe not. You're better off printing them at home if you have a decent printer. Costs more, but oh well.

[anotherpoorgamer]

Can someone make some covers for these, I would appreciate it:
I bought these disc-only.
Megaman X4
Metal Gear Solid: VR missions
Armored Core
Warhawk
Colony Wars series

[b0bx13]

Maybe, maybe not. You're better off printing them at home if you have a decent printer. Costs more, but oh well.

If you don't mind waiting a couple days, you can PM Speed Racer here at CAG. He prints at 35cents per cover on highquality cardstock. Really great stuff, and much cheaper than anything at a Kinkos.

I like the Italian Job, but does anyone else see the different colors on the back? It may just be me...

[4tygames]

Everything ok?

Thread has been dead a couple of days and I was just wondering if the new covers have been uploaded yet or not.

GameScanner has tons of scans of Playstation games. Many we cannot use, but there are some good ones in there!

[wannabepunktony]

This is an awesome undertaking! I just found this thread thru Google on accident and now I can't stop thinking about changing my PS1 games over to PS2 cases, heh. ^_^

Question though: I don't have access (that I know of) to a fancy printer - anyone on here print these covers for others (obviously for a fee)...? I might be interested.

[zerofiz]

If anyone is interested in having the video game inserts that are available for download printed out but don't have the resources to do it I'm offering a print service at a cost of $0.35 per insert plus a small S&H fee. I can print them out on a thin, glossy cardstock that will hold up better than paper. The printer I use is a high end commercial grade color laser that's as big as a washing machine, no kidding, and it does an incredible job. The only thing I ask is that you order a minimum of two inserts because the sheets I use are 12" x 18" and this will help prevent wasting the cardstock. If you check my feedback you'll see that I already have two very satisfied customers.


There ya go

Yep. All you need to do is PM Speed Racer. He does real quality prints on professional cardstock for 35cents each (about half as cheap as anything you'll get at a Kinkos). Great stuff.

I just got Parasite Eve into a DVD case and it looks great!

[dashobbity]

if anyone is taking requests, i need a "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons- Iron and Blood: Warriors of Ravenloft" cover....i cant seem to find good art or covers for it anywhere, and i just got a copy off ebay with not cover or instructions...any help, or custom cover would do! thanks!

-dashobbity

[RegalSin2020]

First off what the nun?

Second off those jobs are really good.

Third off I could really see where you are going with this and would help out but I don't have the time at the moment. Personally I like the regular cases when compared to the DVD cases.

I mean they break apart too easy, I could see the Disc print on the other side of my cases. If I threw a dart at any DVD case Vs. any CD case the Cd case will allways win.

Once again great idea and if I have the time I will try to put in the effort.

[cr138654]

I've been trying to find scans of HDadvance 3.0 (the blue one) ever since I got the CD and DVD set. Mine never came in a package so I can't scan them in myself so I was wondering if anyone could provide me with high resolution scans or the complete print-ready PS2 Coverart. Thank you if you can and thanks anyways if you can't. :)

[sprintsucks5892]

I currently making a "Vs. Series Anthology" case of sorts in my spare time. It's gonna have X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes, and Marvel vs Capcom. Or if I do 5 disc, I add X-men Children of the Atom in there as well.

[SMMM]

http://img313.imageshack.us/img313/1012/mmlbam9.jpg

Good or no? I hated the orginal front and back so much that I decided to go 100% custom. Kind of a PS2/GCN hybrid.

Edit: Uploaded a more updated version
Edit 2: Changed the upper back. It's actually readable now! =) Also updated the hi-rez I posted later down there...

I used the same image for the cover of my custom Megaman 64 case XD I love it.

[PR Mega X]

So I finally have a (crappy) scanner and access to my limited PS1 games. I can scan what I have if anyone's interested, and if someone is willing to adjust the images (they seem a bit washed out when I scan them) and put them together into a nice cover. So, would anyone be willing to help with:

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero
Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2 Enter: Electro
X-Men: Children of the Atom
Marvel Super Heroes
Iron Man/X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal
Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue
Power Rangers: Time Force

I also have the "Weskers Report" disc from Resident Evil Code Veronica X, if anyone's interested in doing something with that. So...anyone? :)
