Title: new user - UGC questions
Post by: baraka on July 16, 2010, 01:23:22 PM: Hi,

I'm from the Netherlands and just registered to the board after reading a looot of topics on this board and experimenting a bit with some cover-creating. Also, I'll soon be making some scans of SNES boxes that aren't on this site yet and hopefully I'll be able to contribute in some other ways as well.. This website is extremely nice and I can't believe I found out about it so late!

Now, I've got a few questions about the Universal Game Cases sold by mediashelving.com that I hope someone could answer:

1. Do PAL carts fit in properly? And do US carts fit, with their dust-sleeve on? I have a few universal game cases that are not the ones sold on mediashelving.com and they seem to be a little different.

2. Exactly how much space is there for the game manuals? Mediashelving.com says the measurements of the box are 7,25x5,25 inch, but exactly what is the maximum size for the manuals to fit in?

As for space, it all depends on where you want to put the manuals. Besides for custom largers manuals such as the Dragon Warrior bonus manual. I don't know exacts but you can either put them in the case or put them behind the front cover without much trouble.

(it'd have taken the same time for you to say "just a couple cm more", by the way)
