Title: Game Boy/Color cartridge storage in DS cases - that upside down thing.
Post by: UncleBob on November 23, 2011, 01:37:57 AM
So, ever since I got my Dremel Black and Decker High Speed Rotary tool, I've been cutting that section out of the DS cases to allow my Game Boy/Game Boy Color games to fit, similar to what's described in the How does ____ fit into one? (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=1866.0) topic.

One thing I've always done different, though, is I've stored my cartridge in the case upside down.

The good thing, the clips that are designed to hold the GBA cart help to hold the cartridge in nice and snug.
The bad, the cartridge is upside down. :(

So... brilliant idea!

Put the cover in upside down...

Now, when you open the case, the game is on the left, the manual is on the right, but the cartridge is up-side-right and held in all nice and snugly.

Sadly, I now have to go through and swap the covers on all of my Game Boy games. ;)

I seen a video of this not to long ago on youtube, i just haven't been bothered to order any cases. In fact do cases for the online nintendo store still come with the gba slot or are they now the eco friendly cases?

The product description still says they hold GBA games and the last set I ordered (was a while ago now) had the GBA slot.

However, they use the same description for the regular cases as they do the red ones - which very clearly do not hold GBA games...
