Hello. I'm not sure if this is my first post, I've been generally lurking. I've been loving this idea of storing my GB/C/A games on DS cases. Because of that, I wanted to try to store my Wonderswan games in DS cases too.
Problem is that Wonderswan games' widths are greater than GBAs or GBs', making them fit in the GBA slot an impossibility. Supposedly, in the "How does ____ fit in a DS case" thread, there is only a passing mention of the Wonderswan and all it says is "they fit with some slight modification"... Which barely tells me anything at all.
The best I've been able to do is to use super tape to tape down the game with the black cover to the case, but most of my WS games don't have the black cover and I also don't want to just put them in there and risk having them fly out when I try opening the case.
So, has anyone else successfully stored their WS games in DS cases? If so, could you please post a picture or at least give a reference as to how anyone else could store their WS games in DS cases?
Edit: Oh, whoops. Sorry to the mod who had to move this! I tried placing it in the most appropriate forum. D:

I ended up getting the answer in the How Does ____ fit in a DS case thread (but after I made this thread). The link to the post is here (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=1866.msg56126#msg56126). GBC games are as thick as Wonderswan games, so this method will work. Downside is that you can't store your manual along with it.
So, if you have a manual you want to preserve, you might have to keep the manual below the game (which I haven't tried) or tape the black case that comes with the game to the case using super-tape (like the ones used for boxes, but not the transparent one though- I've had horrible experiences with that one).
I'd still like to find some other method that works better than these two, but for now, the clip-method will work.

I have a really good way to store them depending on how good you are with cutting your cases. It's kind of hard to explain without a picture though. I have taken pictures with my phone bit my computer is currently out of commission. Hopefully I can get it taken care of tonight.
If you are really axioms to see what I did pm me your cell number and I'll text you the pics

Still doesn't help with American cases though.

My phone can't receive images (don't laugh, I'm poor), but I'm still interested in seeing what you did.
I ended up taking pictures of what I ended doing, however. (The .MPO files are for viewing on the 3DS, if you want a 3D representation of the cuts).

3D image of second image, you need a 3DS for it (http://www.mediafire.com/?1a7jcu4bd261xat)
3D image of first image, again, you need a 3DS for it (http://www.mediafire.com/?q3224hutduv8tqf)
The cut in the first one is to let the game fit snugly. Note that the top strip of plastic has also been cut up to where the game would fit in the other side.
In the second image, I only cut the plastic strip up to where the game wouldn't reach anymore. It actually stays snug like that. I've only had one problem fitting the papers that come with the games, but it was just an ad for other WSC games, so I didn't include it.

That's actually very nicely done modification, and nice fit. :)

Not that this needs bumping, but this is what I've been doing. Holds 'em pretty damn snug.

Just a little self-adhesive insulation foam. You can buy it in small rolls at Home Depot/Lowes. I use it for a lot of these projects at this point. Pretty usefull stuff.

Hmm... That doesn't look safe for the pins...

I cringed a bit myself.

1st, plastic does not best brass alloy.
2nd, the plastic doesn't even touch the pins.
