Replace sega wide cases for Saturn/Dreamcast possible?

[lordnikon]

Is it possible to replace sega wide cases for Saturn/Dreamcast games? These CD cases are larger than normal, and have more room for thicker manuals.

Is it possible to buy new ones? I have searched CD case stores online and am not finding much.

Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks,

On the saturn part, I'm guessing your talking about either the Pal release or the North American release. Sega CD cases and PS1 long box are the only two I know of that can replace the North American Saturn case. The plastic ones for the PS1 games that were used for a few launch and early release games. If your talking Pal release, your screwed.
On the Dreamcast case, there realy wasnt much difference between the Japanese/North American release and a standerd CD case. Sometimes the inside panel of the case would have the Sega logo, but except this minor difference there wasnt much else to make them different. The Pal once again is the more difficult case to replace as Sega went to great efforts to find the most brittle plastic available on the market and chose to use it instead of cheaper, more durable materials. Ok, that last bit was kinda a lie but the things actualy are brittle as hell and are even more difficult to replace as I know of no other form of media that uses those exact type of cases. The PS1 were simular in design from what I can tell, but were definitly not the same.

The OP is talking about the thicker than normal CD cases unless I'm mistaken.

I need a few too it'd be nice to find a source.

Yea like Funk Buddy said, the cases I am referring to look exactly like your standard jewel case. However upon closer inspection they are in-fact slightly thicker than normal. Their inserts are specifically designed for these cases and will not fit into a normal jewel case.

I am desperatly seeking some of these as I have some game cases where the center ring where the CD is placed is impacted, causing all of the little wedges to break off. There is nothing to hold the disc in place :/
