Yeah the VB section is wierd, once in a while it gathers great speed, we get excelent previews, but just before they get posted they dissapear.

This is topic has some links to covers:

I'll finish up the better topic that is at the moment dormant in secret place.
It will be similar to my SNES vertical list.

I'm not sure why there aren't a complete set of VB covers yet. I mean, we have people making full sets of 32X games, and there are more of those than VB. Aren't there like 20-some games total between the regions? Surely we can all collaborate and get them done.

17 i think as far as NTSC, however the system isnt region coded. I can't imagine once a template or something is made this wont take long, let me know what I can do to help

why are we using ds cases for them though.
The VB is anything but handheld.

Mount it as a periscope arcade cabinet.

They look excellent in red DS cases.

Besides, it's not yet big enough to be a Virtual Man.  ;)

Id say the main reason is because the boxes are the exact same size as Game Boy boxes. And just because a DS case is intended for a handheld game, doesnt mean it cant be used for non handheld gaming devices. If it works for what you want it for, use it!

Also don't forget that the Virtual Boy WAS actually designed to be a handheld. ;D

'Cause they fit.  Same as using DS cases for TG-16 games.  UGC is WAY overkill.
