Game Boy DMG/Color games in 3DS cases

[pumanchero]

I have very few loose GB/GBC carts and while playing around with an empty Mario Kart 7 3DS case noticed they perfectly fit the empty space on the top of the 3DS card holder. So I'm planning to give my small collection new clothes the next weeks  



Here's the template I'm using


Final Fantasy Legend, The (Square release)


The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening


Mega Man III


Super Mario Land


Survival Kids


Tetris


They look pretty good and save space. I'm not trying to create a whole new series thread so I'm making public the "template" for anyone to use. This site is about sharing after all

Can you show a picture of the cart in the case? And i'll post my touched up GBC template soon if you want to use parts from it.

Sure, picture added to the original post.

Awesome.

One suggestion, after trying it myself: Might want to put the cart in facing the other way (pins toward case spine). Shook the case a couple times to see how loose the cart would be, then opened it up to find the cart on the other side of the case, stuck to the manual clip!

Thanks, do manuals fit in to? It looks like 3DS cases are missing that bar that blocked manuals from fitting.
I'm going to wip up a retail Photoshop template for GB/GBC/GBA. I have been looking for cases for my collection that do not require cutting, I almost went with 8-Disc Poly cases.

The standard GB manuals fit perfectly. I too am not a cutting fan, that's why I don't use UGC's for NES games.

Nice!  I imaging a little foam or something would help keep them in place perfectly

Looks like I know what my next purchase from Nintendo will be.

My second cover (thanks to Forte for the amazing HQ scans)

Mega Man III


I'm trying to recreate as close to retail as possible all the covers as you may notice
EDIT: I was too lazy to recreate the second snapshot on this one btw

Must....resist....urge.....to recase......entire collection........

And look what I happened to find from my usual DVD case supplier: http://www.genesysdtp.com/index.htm?nintendo3dscasedetails.htm . 3DS replacement cases, but without the holes in the case!

The only problem is that the 3DS card slot is moved to the center. But for those that don't mind a little modification, you could cut the slot out completely and use foam to create a spot for the cart, like what was done in the recent Virtual Boy cases thread. http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=11118.0 Might make yet another good alternative to the traditional DS modification method.

This is a great discovery pumanchero! They hold the manual and the games very very well, while taking up little space. And with DS cases with GBA slots becoming harder to get, this might be a very viable alternative, especially for newcomers.

[larryinc64]

It looks like the DC card slot in that case is hirer up, the carts may not fit.

[TyrannicalFascist]

Yeah I caught that and was editing my post.

Still, it doesn't have the holes like the normal one which is cool. Using the Virtual Boy case technique I linked, I could see it being used for GB, GBC, GBA, Game Gear, Virtual Boy, NGPC, Atari Lynx, Wonderswan and who knows what else...

I'm converting my GBC template into a 3DS template right now.
I'm including Pumanchero's in it too, along with a modified GBC template more like the ones on the retail boxes.
