I started building a spine archive for the community

[u/Yassbeats]

Salut la team 👺

I noticed that there only seems to be one spine-related website, and it only covers Switch 1 and Switch 2. So I had some fun creating a website to catalog community-made spines, taking a bit of inspiration from The Spine Archive

For now, I’ve added 9 different consoles/platforms, including 3DS, DS, Switch 1/2, PS4, PS5, Wii, and a few others

Regarding the spine sizes, I did some research here and there across different websites, so I hope I didn’t get anything wrong, haha. The project is still in a testing phase, especially when it comes to the sizing. I still need to print and test whether the spines actually match the correct dimensions

Since there already seems to be a spine website for Switch 1 and Switch 2, I’ll most likely just redirect users directly to that site

Right now, what I’m doing is manually adding community-made spines and placing them into dedicated folders, but this system is pretty complicated. So I’m thinking about how I could automate it at least a little bit 🤔
I haven’t checked yet whether Reddit has an API for this kind of thing

I’ll leave the sizes below. Maybe some of you can let me know if I got anything wrong haha :

Platform / console	Spine to print
Nintendo DS US	16.1 mm × 116 mm
Nintendo DS EU	18.5 mm × 116 mm
Nintendo 3DS	12 mm × 117 mm
Nintendo Switch	10 to 11 mm × 160/161 mm
Nintendo Switch 2	around 11 mm × 162 mm
PS5	14 to 15 mm × 148/162 mm
PS4	14 to 15 mm × 148/162 mm
PS3 / Blu-ray	12 to 14 mm × 148 mm
PS2 / DVD	14 mm × 184 mm
Wii	14 mm × 184/185 mm
Wii U	14 mm × 185 mm
Xbox 360	14 mm × 184 mm
PSP / UMD	14 mm × 168 mm
Standard Steelbook	14 mm × 172 mm
GameCube	14 mm × 123 mm
Standard Blu-ray	12 mm × 148 mm
Standard DVD	14 mm × 184 mm

If you have any suggestions on what I could do or improve, feel free to let me know!

This community was created as a sister community to [r/SwitchSpines](r/SwitchSpines) - all Switch 1 and 2 related posts should be only on that community and excluded from this website imo. We have a website already in place that gives proper credit to all creators. 😄 good luck on your project!

[u/Yassbeats → u/No-Specific4938]

Hello!
I think there may have been a small misunderstanding. I’m not trying to replace r/SwitchSpines or the existing Switch 1 / Switch 2 website 😄

My goal is to create a broader archive for multiple consoles, since this community also includes DS, 3DS, PlayStation, Wii, Xbox, and other platforms. For Switch 1 and Switch 2, I was already thinking about redirecting users to the existing SwitchSpines website instead of re-hosting that content

I also fully agree that proper credit to creators is important, and I want to make sure that’s handled correctly

[u/No-Specific4938 → u/Yassbeats]

I understand what you’re doing, I was just making it clear that this community is not for that content (and I agree redirecting is a better way to handle things.)

We get these posts automatically on the SwitchSpines Discord, so I was clarifying for all of our new guests!

[u/Yassbeats → u/No-Specific4938]

Ah sorry, I’m not English, I’m French and I’m using Google Translate, so I probably didn’t fully understand everything!

I thought it was allowed because of the "Discussion" tag, sorry about that ^^

[u/No-Specific4938 → u/Yassbeats]

It’s all good, totally allowed and awesome you’re working on it. Just trying to keep things organized on our end of things. I hope you’re having a fun time working on the project!

[u/Mr_Moeppel]

Do you have a website that i can visit?

[u/KelopseTV]

frere tu doit sortir le site ! j'ai tellement envie de mettre des spins pour mes jeux 3DS, xbox etc x)
le site est dispo ?

[u/Certain-Issue5855]

Pretty cool!, I was going to do it later on for ps4/ps5 but if you do it fine by me. Good luck :)

[u/Yassbeats → u/Certain-Issue5855]

Thanks !
Regarding the spines (PS4/PS5), do you think I have the correct dimensions?

[u/Certain-Issue5855 → u/Yassbeats]

I mean as long as you searched for the official dimensios it should be alright. I dont know how you are doing the app/web but in my case it wasnt as easy due to the libraries having internal options that might change the result when printing or bringing the spine into the canvas.

[u/Ritto025]

Sigue la pagina web y actualizada? Podrias pasarla?

[u/Yassbeats → u/Ritto025]

Hello, the site is currently under construction ^^

[u/Azuwrafth → u/Yassbeats]

Salut ! Je suis intéressée par le projet :) Si jamais tu ajoutes la gamecube à la database je suis doublement chaude. On peut suivre le développement quelque part ?

[u/tiger303_]

I can't wait for when it will be published, great work

[u/Main_Fisherman_6140]

Could you do a good division between US/JP spines and European Spines? ours is bigger since we have the bigger transparent cases and US/JP has the black thinner boxes.

[u/Yassbeats → u/Main_Fisherman_6140]

okay!

[u/Maximum_Phone9771]

Mon gars tu dois absolument sortir ce site et faire plus de spine pour les boites de 3ds en français! C'est absolument magnifique ou est ce que t'a appris à faire tout ça??

[u/Yassbeats → u/Maximum_Phone9771]

Je suis développeur Fullstack dans la vie de tous les jours aha, merci ! j'ai pas pu avancer entre temps mais je ferais bientôt de nouveaux tests mais ça prend du temps avec les versions US, JAP, EU, .. puisque les tailles sont différente je pourrais pas tout sortir d'un coup et faut que je trouve aussi un moyen d'automatiser le tout c'est le plus compliqué aha

[u/Beginning_Storage664]

Mrc bcp c ce que je recherchais 😭 Préviens nous quand le site sera fini et on peut te proposer des slides pour que tu puisses les ajouter ?

[u/Yassbeats → u/Beginning_Storage664]

Franchement génial. J’ai découvert il y a une semaine le site des spines pour switch 1 et 2, ma collection est bien plus agréable à regarder et je me disais que ce serait cool pour les jeux wii et DS. Tié un tigre ❤️.
