So are you shipping out pre orders for Genesis tomorrow too?

Yay!  100 NES cases ordered!

Hey, just out of curiosity, how long do these take to ship/receive?  I only ask because I move in about a month.
Just wanted to make sure they get to the right address.   ;D

Yes! Once the truck arrives and everything is sorted, we will start shipping out the Genesis cases! We have a few days I think, I am still processing NES orders with covers too.

Just ordered 500 cases  :o

Cases I received earlier were perfect. I wouldn't want to case my precious NES cases with anything else. This will cover my 300+ NES games and whatever else i may come across on my quest to a almost complete NES set. Plus, i hear the cover for them are pretty cool too ;)

Kind of wish I didn't invest in 1000 UGC a little while back.  Still have to mod out like 400 or so.  Sigh...

I'm getting ready to put in another order of 100 UGCs (for misc games like Atari or ColecoVision).  If you think you have too many and want to unload a case, let me know.  Obviously, I need to get them for the same price or less than what I would pay mediashelving.com, but I don't mind taking some off your hands if you have too many.

I will be using them all actually, and probably more in the future.  700 for just my NES library and then I still have my SNES and 64 games.

That's cool.  Thought I would check.  I've already put out a quote request to mediashelving, so I'll probably just go that route.

If it's a large order within the USA I use FedEx, if it's a smaller order or international I use USPS.

This will be released alongside the covers and template.

Arseen and I are working on it. Even though I have painstakingly improved each of the covers I worked on some would still not pass quality control to be posted on the site (simply need 100% new scans). Simplest way around this is to create a series of pages on the forum with preview images and download links. Creating preview images and download links for 750+ covers takes time.

Covers that do pass quality (majority) will be posted to the site's main database. They're coming and i appreciate everyone patience  :)

I sincerely hope you are creating the preview images/thumbnails using a Photoshop batch script and not doing this manually.

Side note, you signature link doesn't work  :(

Maybe you are already doing this, but I would suggest a list of the games in one post (with no preview or images), with the name of each game linking to the download.  Follow that with a post (or possible two depending on character limit) that has each preview.  I just like the idea of the first post having a list without pictures, because I think that would be easier for me to download the ones I need.  I don't plan on downloading a full set as I'll never achieve that feat.

Just out of curiosity, how many NES game will still be missing covers when this is complete?  Also, are we including assessories like Game Genie, cleaning kits or Everdrives?  I know those are low priority, but I would lik to include them eventually.

Thanks for all your time and effort in this!!! ;D

The thumbnails are created from the file hosting service I am using

I know. Somehow everything got deleted from my box.net. I will reupload everything when i get them time. To be honest, I don't even remember everything i had in there.

We are creating one thread per alphabetical character and one thread as a navigation page so you can choose the letter you want to be navigated to.

I have no idea how many covers will still need to be made after. There are a lot of unofficial NES releases and translations so it is hard to calculate. If I had to guess I'd say ~100 (but they are mostly really obscure titles). Unless you have a complete NES set I bet my covers will cover 99% of most everyone's collection.

I am creating covers for accessories and Everdrives but not all have been created yet.

Oh, I was just referring to licensed games.  If you don't know, that's ok.  I was just curious.

Can the NES cases hold the official Nintendo Cleaning Kit? I was thinking of getting one, but judging from the pictures, it doesn't look like it would fit in it.

Sort of.  They don't fit perfectly, but you DON'T have to modify them.  When the case is closed, nothing moves when I shake the case, so I would say it fit's pretty well.

How far down the line are jaguar cases?  I just realized they fit pretty nicely into Genesis cases with a small mod, and don't know whether to just do that or hold out.

I don't really see jag cases as a big money spinner for you, as the library is pretty small and the number of die hard collectors pretty tiny (I would imagine).

Yeah, I've been happy just going with the UGC route.  I know he has plans to make cases for just about every type of game, but for me personally, I have my limit.  I'm really only interested in buying cases that don't require modification.  That's why the GB and NES cases were always top priority for me.  I was sick of modifying NES and DS cases.  The Sega cases are a small expection since these are basically the same as the originals.  However, I have to be honest and say that I probably wouldn't order Jaguar cases even if they were available (as much as I hate to say it).  Maybe I will change my mind if they ever come out, but I'm pretty happy with my fully cases Jaguar collection as it is..

what about Master System ones? I can use Genesis cases but the clips bends a bit and could break off.
