Onion game Cases
Dravenae:
Honestly? I'm happy with UGC. I keep my manuals in the box to keep them safe anyway, as well as that, I live in Europe, where the shipping cost would be the equivalent of being violently sodomized with a baseball bat with rusty nails...
Not saying I don't like what this fellow is trying to do, just wouldn't make much of a difference to me...

Call me a sucker, but I still ordered a 100. Less then a dollar a case is still within my tolerance. But now I'm sweating over not paying the $3 for extra shipping material. If my cases arrive from California all jacked up I'm going to be a very sad boy.

I'm beyond swamped with my own thing right now, but I love and admire what you're doing and would be very much so interested in working out something that could be mutually beneficial with regards to getting CAD files built for the cases. I can think of many things that I could use pre-made cases for, and maybe my investment in time could result in some stuff that I use proprietarily for my own business needs.
I know how hard it is to do what you're doing and I 100% understand that it takes WAY more time than anyone ever expects to get the results you're after. Hang in there.

Thanks for offering the CAD services, but I still need to hear from one more company before I make a choice on who to go with.
No matter who I chose, I'm more than happy to make proprietary versions of my Game Cases for you (or anyone else who wants a non-standard internal layout),
but I need to get further along in the R&D for my own Case Designs, before I can start to delve into that.
I can say that the following Handheld Gaming Systems:
GB, GBC, GB Pocket, GBA, GBA SP, DSi XL, and PSP Slims,
will fit in my NES Game Cases, loosely, with little to no *modification required.
Others might fit too; It's just that those are the only ones I own, and have tested, with my NES Game Case designs.
*videogametrader might also make some Foam Inserts for handheld systems.
I'm not sure if he's going to make Foam Inserts only for UGCs, and/or my NES Cases, and/or my blank-cart-side cases.
We probably won't know until I at least pass the Prototype Stage, and can start posting the finalized specs for the Main Line, and Blank-Cart-Side, Game Cases.
I would suggest making the Handheld System Foam Inserts for my blank-cart-side cases, though,
so ya'll could designate cut-out areas for AC Adapters and Link Cables and such,
and won't have to deal with any Cart Walls.

Woah, I just found out about these. I just started an NES/Famicom collection and swung by here to see if there were any no-mod alternatives to putting NES carts in UGC's...and lo and behold, I find this. This is amazing. Whenever these go on sale, you will receive a hefty order from me, good sir!
Now I'm conflicted on whether I want to replace my UGC'd N64/SNES collection...but I probably will. ;D
EDIT: Also I just cruised around your site and saw your plans for a third-party component GCN cable. Oh my God PLEASE! I've wanted one for so long but the prices just keep going up!
