Virtual Boy? Wow thats a name I've not heard in some time. I dont even know what vertualboy cartridges look like let alone what case they'd go in, let alone have any scans of the games for that obscure nintendo failure.

i used to have a virtualboy and i'm about 95% sure they would fit in a ds case.
(virtualboy cartriges are just slightly bigger than an original gameboy cartriges if i remember correctly)

best bet would be to pick up some old videogame magazines and look for an ad or something if you don't have the original boxart.

I'll look through some EGMs i have from the mid 90's and see what i can find.

Virtual Boy cardridges are about same thickness (or maybe 50% thicker) as 3,5" discettes (those that you into A-drive), about 20 % shorter and 20% narrower.

They fit very nicely into DS case.

I try to find Scans or something like thats for some one to edit.

It doesn't make you blind.

It makes you cross-eyed and gives you splitting headache!

I'm not sure if it would help, but I have a Japanese Mario's Tennis case art that I made.  But it is made for an American DS case, though.

That helps.

I might slitly modify it, I mean make Jap text into US text.

Size difference between US and euro cases is, I think, only slight.

Scan it, upload it and post the link.

THANX.

Sorry it's so small.  I had to use paint because Photoshop is acting weird.  I hope it's easy to fix up.

Wow!  It's looking great so far.  What kind of image editing program are you using?  And how did you enlarge it without making it all pixelated?  Could you do that with my Mario Party label?

I used Paint

I used google to find higher resolution versions of front and back.
I painted the whole spine green.
I copied Virtual Boy text from front, flipped and resized it and put it on the spine.
I copied Mario tennis text from front, edited it to white base, flipped and resized it and put it on spine.

Next I will pixel by pixel remove the japanise text and put english one on..
