Yeah, it's not hard to do. No idea when I'd have the time though. I've got like a million projects going on at work including a couple that I can't even talk about ;D

Officially over 300 SNES games now. 309 to be exact (7 still need covers). Woo-hoo!

Do you still need a Mario all-stars + world? if you do, would u consider a trade of mario all-stars + world (great condition) in exchange for FX modding a game genie? I could send the extra genie and the stunt race carts.

Are any of those super famicom games or are they all english SNES?

That collection beats my PS2 collection in terms of numbers. I can only imagine the amount of dollars that went into that.

Alright Wiggy, I know you are a stickler for quality, so I have a question for you. Since you have gone and made all of your GBA Light+ models so friggin' awesome that they are completely sold out and I cannot purchase one, I have decided up fix up my old GBA SP in the meantime. Can you recommend a seller that sells a quality replacement shell, as close to the original as possible?

wow wiggy...that is insane!  you've got a very solid collection!  I have just over 20 snes games so I think I have a ways to go lol.

man wiggy your collection looks better every time I see it!  :)

Thanks!  Honestly, I would probably be happy with 50 of my favorites if it were all about playing them.  But, like many of us, I really feel the need to collect and fill a wall :)


Do you still need a Mario all-stars + world? if you do, would u consider a trade of mario all-stars + world (great condition) in exchange for FX modding a game genie? I could send the extra genie and the stunt race carts.

"Need" is a strong word :P  But yes, I definitely still want it  ;D

If I had the free time, then I would gladly do so.  Hopefully things will start to slow down for me by the end of the year.  I'd really like to be able to keep bringing on more staff to do the production work, clerical stuff, and so on, so that I can step back and do what I love, which is just come up with new projects and whatnot :D


Some day, some day.

Amazing your collection :o

Thanks!

There are some SFC games (look at the bottoms of the spines, and you should be able to see which are and aren't).  I only buy them if there was never a US version of the game.  The only two that I still have which don't fit that methodology are Xardion and Magic Sword.   I've had those two forever and just can't be bothered to pick up US versions of at this point :-\

Honestly, a lot of you guys might be a little sad if you knew how much I paid for a lot of the AAA titles in there.  I worked used game & music retail in the late 90' and early 00's when SNES games were worth dick.  Let's just say that I was bummed if I had to pay more than 5 bucks for a single game back then, regardless of title.


Alright Wiggy, I know you are a stickler for quality, so I have a question for you.

Haha, thanks!

I've only seen a couple of aftermarket shells for the SP.  Both came to me as donors for parts and on both the shells fit like hell :-\  I don't know if there is just one manufacturer for the parts or more.  If there is more than one, then you'll never know, and honestly, neither will the sellers of the parts.  That's sort of the nature of a lot of the Chinese no-name-brand product :(

Finally got around to making a triple DS case.  Thanks to Wiggy for the idea and for the cover. ;D



Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I used a soldering iron to melt the cover film to the case the same way that Wiggy did in his video.  It works well for me and I haven't had any fall off yet.  It doesn't look as good as a factory produced case because the seam is a little bigger than a normal case, but those companies have thousands of dollars worth of equipment to do this stuff.  I have a $10 soldering iron. :-\

I can take a close up picture of the seam if you want to see it.  It isn't perfect, but I'm happy with the results.

Actually, the big problem I had with this case was getting the rivets to hold the three cases together.  My rivet gun is junk and I couldn't get it to work (even though I could get it to work on my double UGCs....).  I ended up using hot glue between the cases.  It seems to be holding well and since I won't open this case often, I think it will last.

Like I said, not as good as a factory seam, but it works.

***EDIT***
Factory seam on the left.  My seam on the right.
