Onion game Cases

[plc268]

Genesysdtp.com has some 3'rd-Party GBA and DS Game Cases.
http://www.genesysdtp.com/nintendodscasedetails.htm
I have plans to make Game Cases for Handheld Games, such as, but not limited to, GB, GBC, and GBA, but it's going to be a while.
I'd like to get the Game Cases made, for Console-Based Games, first.

I just got a pack of 25 of these cases and they DO NOT hold GBA games!

They're made to hold a DS game and the dust cover that conceals the GBA slot on the DSLite!

Blargh!

I use the genesys cases, but yea, you do have to modify them to take gba games.

I use a pair of flush cutters designed for cutting wire, to cut the top bit of plastic flush with the case. Cuts through like butter.
This is what I use: http://www.amazon.com/Hakko-CHP170-Micro-Cutter-16AWG/dp/B0000WT6FI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370377632&sr=8-1&keywords=hakko+flush+cutter

I suppose small diagonal cutter pliers will do the trick as well.

I'm definitely not modifying (ie carving up) perfectly fine cases.  That's the reason I haven't gone with UCGs because they're just so ugly with all that extra plastic and are useless for NES without modding.  Here's hoping Onion cases wont be like that.

Seymor, no need for all that, but thanks.
Maybe I'll collect a few more DS games to warrant having the cases...

Also...as I was sitting here at my desk with this DS case, I happened to notice that my Famicom Disk games and manuals (because, you know, I keep a Famicom and FDS on my desk) will almost fit in the DS cases if it wasn't for the plastic guides being in the wrong places.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

These DS cases don't even seem to fit DS games very well.  They are rather loose in the slot although they do appear to be staying for now.

I bought some from somewhere else and the weren't much better. They were black and the plastic was very brittle and cracked when you looked at it.

Yes, we used these cases for GBA games currently but i do NOT like them. You can get them on ebay or from Hyperkin for a reasonable amount.

You have to modify them thought in order to actually fit the GBA cart. Yes, and they don't like it when you look at them.

These at least seem sturdy and well made but they are a no go for GBA and seem to only barely hold DS games.
Haven't seen one pop loose but then again I'm not moving them that much.

I know this is slightly off topic. But i have my foam prototypes in. These will allow portable games to fit nicely in POLY cases. Poly Cases are only a little larger than original GameBoy cases.

The thread is here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=12289.0

These should fit Onion cases with little to no modification.

Comments are appreciated.

Will the NES Game Genie fit in your NES cases?

These are far better quality

Those were the cases Seymore linked at the end of the previous page. Evidently they dont have the gba slot anymore.

Unfortunately, no, NES Game Genies won't fit in my NES Game Case, as it's about 3/4 of an inch too tall...
Well, if you take the black plastic strap off, it'll fit.

Say, when you connect two NES Game Genies together,
or connect a NES Game Genie to the Top-Loader Adapter,
how does their height compare to a NES Game (not counting strap length)?

Don't toss that plastic strap, though, because later on, when I start making the one-piece, extra tall DVD Style Cases, for Saturn CD Games and Carts, a NES Game Genie will fit in there, with the strap.

There have been reports that the plastic bump in the case has to be cut out, to get GBA Games in em'.


Even then, I'm not sure if the GBA Area has grips on it's sidewalls, or not.
I can't tell from the picture.

Preeeeetty close.

Thanks, JDavis. You are The Man! 
If one were to remove the straps from both, then you can get two NES Game Genies in my NES Case.
The original code book won't fit, but ya'll could always print out some sheets of your favorite codes,
and either include them with your Games, or put them in the case with the Game Genies.

Assuming ya use the NES Case, and not the Blank-Cart Side case, this is how a single Game Genie would look inside of it:


I only have 1 NES Game Genie on hand, at the moment, and I used a 3D-Printed prototype of the NES Game Case.

As you can see, the strap sticks out by about 2 inches, so it'd need to be removed if ya'll wanted to put 1 or 2 Game Genies in the NES Case.
I don't have a 3D Printed example of the Blank Cart Side, just yet, but as I said in a previous post, on Page 30, the plastic strap is about 1/4 of an inch too long, in that case.

Games fit fine after you cut the top bit, and the sidewalls grip the gba game well.

Here's some pics (the Mother 3 is simply an ezflash 3in1 flashed with Mother 3 with a new label)
