Its sad to say that when I lived in Japan in 2004 I actually had a handfully of wonderswan boxes but when I returned to the states I had left them behind. It's all because I couldn't take anymore stuff back. I still have about 8+ wonderswan games and a white final fantasy ws color but all I saved were the manuals and games w/ their cases. When I get a scanner someday I will try to add these manuals to the side along with my genesis covers. I know it's no help to you know but I just thought I would share because ws stuff dosen't come around these parts too often.Whenever you do (even if its months or years from now) please do scan them in, i'll still be here :D
1. I have a shitload of WS games as those are pretty cheap to collect here in the EU.1. Even though I know you like making your own cover with your collection, if you wouldn't mind scanning them in that would be amazing!
2. As for feedback for the template. I dunno if I like the back actually. It looks kinda strange with those stripe on the left and right. Wouldn't it be possible to find another solution like for the front?
i don't yet have a wonderswann (just looking on ebay now) - but woouldn't PSP cases be closer to the original shape of the boxes?Its a pretty cool system, I wish it would have come stateside or to the EU. I would love to have some games in english :P
The lack of retail scan make the project a bit hard to get the ball rolling quickly. There was a great deal of scans from one of our newer members and I would thank him/her by name but i can't think of them at the moment.
If anyone has any scans that would be of great help!
As always let me know what you think! ;D

i uploaded a bunch here ; http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=10531.0 (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=10531.0)
in the hope that someone would turn them into DS sized covers!
could we have a shot of the carts and covers in situ? if there really is no modding required i may be persuaded to move to vita cases...(do they sell them seperatly??)
Maybe an all white back would be better? Could be a bit bland looking then.... Hmmm.... Maybe with a bit of rearrangment of the barcode and legal stuff (difficult without writing possbibilities in JP).....
Couldn't they also look like the normal Wonderswan games?
I like the 2nd version, the one with Ghouls and Ghosts. Buuuuut, the red puts me off. Too much intense color like that in a template feels akward to me. It commands too much of my attention when there's a dozen or so on a shelf.Do you mean the way that i formatted the box scans to the cover type? The WonderSwanColor and the original WonderSwan boxes are very different in size. The Wonderswan boxes are wider than the WonderSwanColor boxes. The spines were required on the Color version but not required on the original.
I think if you just inverted the red and white areas on the spine, made the WS logo white instead of red, and kept a nice 1/3 red, 2/3 white split, it would be about perfect ;)I had tried that before but its ended up looking really weird. A white Wonderswan logo looks REALLY odd, i thought it would look OK but it was really funky! I know you really like white spines for your covers but the primary color for the Wonderswan was red so i'd really like to keep it in that same vein.
Yeah I forgot about that. The WSC color boxes have a kind of very strange height to width ratio.Couldn't they also look like the normal Wonderswan games?I like the 2nd version, the one with Ghouls and Ghosts.

There aren't two versions of what i've shown, just two different box sizes for two different consoles. There is just either Wonderswan or Wonderswan color. The box scans just fit so much nicer for the original Wonderswan there is no re-sizing needed. This is not possible for the Wonderswan Color boxes because they are much thinner.
Ah Hah! Yeah it was you that i was referring to in my first post. Thank you very much for the scans you have provided!
I was thinking about putting some little sticky foam peices to the left and the right of the cart so it hold tightly (like wiggy does with his handheld console covers)
Unfortunately SD cards don't fit in them - they are too wide. Memory stick pro duo's fit just fine though.
the SD cards are too wide to fit in the slot.
Only a couple of mm. Could be modded if you can be bothered
I don't' get it. Why are you making SwanCrystal-specific covers?
i say keep them seperate, thats how they were made originally!,
do you keep your gameboy seperate from your gameboy colour??
If they're gonna brand it with the Crystal logo, then it makes sense to brand them as both. If they didn't, then non-Crystal owners might think that the title isn't compatible with their WSC.Not necessarily, since Bandai (and SNK with Neo Geo Pocket Color, and to some extent Nintendo with the GBC) was generally forward compatible with its games (color games would work in an old B&W system for the most part). Nintendo, intelligently, identified color games that would not work in an original Game Boy as such, instead of labeling a game "Game Boy Color/Game Boy" as Bandai did with SwanCrystal/WonderSwan Color.
The change of name from Color to Crystal seems like it was a dumb idea in the 1st place. They shoulda done something like Nintendo did with the GB/GBP. Less confusing.
I've got high res scans of that game, btw, in my thread in the RAW section if anyone wants to make a Vita case for it :) Rockman & Forte as well
Also, GenesysDTP now has replacement Vita cases, as well as PSP, DS, 3DS, PS3, 360, Wii, Wii U and more.

How about doing this as a contest along with spamming FB? I say make a post with the forum link and encourage people to choose their fave case from like the top 10 we pick.

Sorry - I have called it different things, but you are correct - they are the same project
You could add extra modes all from the same microcontroller.
Also, you dont even need to use PWM - you can just turn on multiple LED colors at the same time.
if you turn RED and GREEN on you get ORANGE
if you turn RED and BLUE on you get MAGENTA
if you turn Green and Blue on you get CYAN
if you turn all three on you get WHITE
