Ok made one with a wider front, might try to print it out in pieces and glue it to cardboard to see if it all fits together, copy pasted one of my sg-1000 games to see how it will look http://www.mediafire.com/view/uyaaw2aaeokek66/Box%20Template%203.jpg oh the grey ones are just the glue tabs. and the white slit on the right is for the manuals to slide into |

ok printed out template, pasted to cardboard and folder it up, bit tight, the door doesn't close well, need a tab to help it close, if it was professionally done it would be fine, spine ends up being 30mm wide, I tried different games in the sg-1000 slot, SG1000: http://www.mediafire.com/view/d5woxmphpidbf8w/sg1000.jpg SMS: http://www.mediafire.com/view/783k0wc3mhna1bj/sms_(1).jpg SMD: http://www.mediafire.com/view/2eaw1a9y45dca9s/smd.jpg 32X: http://www.mediafire.com/view/w6f6k9kit2781n8/32x_(1).jpg |

If you do end up making gatefold boxes like that with a recessed part for carts, do share that template. I'd bet people would love something like that. (I'm one of them) [/quote] ive tried printing them out the problem is the width of the unfolded boxes are over 60cm wide, which would need to be printed on A2+ sized cardboard. which might end up getting expensive if done at a printing shop. more tempting to do them in the style of the genesis boxes but in black |

I prefer to stay away from paper/cardboard boxes at all costs... Problems that are happening with paper boxes now with happen to your current ones in a few years. NES: Still undecided, maybe bitbox SNES: Still undecided, maybe UGC the only problem I have is manuals fitting inside N64: Prime N64 plastic cases with labeled spine and book front inside Gamecube: Stock Wii: Stock Wii U: Stock GB: CustomGameCases.com by Shadowfox GBC: CustomGameCases.com by Shadowfox GBA: CustomGameCases.com by Shadowfox DS: Stock 3DS: Stock If anyone has suggestions for NES/SNES please let me know. Must be plastic and very durable. |

if your out of the usa, and cant get ugcs for a large price, wide dvd cases are your only option and they just don't look right aye im more of a collector of retro games from my childhood than a player of them, so its more having the best looking thing on my shelf, new sexy boxes rather than old saggy ones |
