How ______ fits into a Nintendo DS case

[Seraph Man]

The place I was going to order from ran out:

Does anyone know a better place to get these?

The best place is always Nintendo's official website.

[Polygon]

Yeah.

That's where I've always bought them. You can get them for less than $1 each.

Man, the idea of cutting these with an Xacto is terrifying (O_O)

A Dremel/rotary tool is about the only way to go.  I've got the perfect bit for this sort of thing. I'll have to snap some pics tomorrow when I cut a few of these up. Plus, you end up with a WAY cleaner result that won't look nearly as hacked

Actually it seems I'm not getting these as the sellerr is afraid to ship overseas.

Exact same shit I got when I was trying to get these down here.

That sucks. Maybe if you give him my address in Columbus, OH he can ship them to me and I can ship them to you for just whatever the post office charges me.

[Arseen]

I have already cancelled the transaction as requested by the seller.

Instead I bought Japanese CIB copy of Clock Tower for SNES... someone will be pleased... 

Besides I got positive feedback score to boost my points on ebay
If someone sees them coming up again is willing to help me get them, please contact me.

^^^ Just regular DS cases?  If so, there's dozens of auctions for lots of 20-50. I would also be completely willing to help get them to you as well.

So, this is how I modify the cases for GB/GBC games.  You're left with a cleaner case, and a smaller opening where you cut which helps reduce any deformity that you'll get in the paper cover because it wants to creep into that open space.







If anyone wants, I will gladly write up a materials/tools list and a how-to.  It's probably only for the level 100 OCD folks out there, but hell, we are classic game collectors with totally absurd amounts of old-ass games that have been meticulously categorized, carefully re-packaged, and lovingly organized on shelves.  I gotta imagine that's there's plenty of people on this site that are OCD enough to try and get something like this as close to perfect as possible LOL!

Wiggy, I would love for you to post your instructions on how to do this. My first batch of games was in EU DS cases, which are great for most things, but I admit that I'd like to have some games in US DS cases. If I knew a clean, relatively simple way to modify them, I'd be set. 

[wiggy]

Alright, I'm on it!  I'm just finishing up a couple of covers for GBS games, so I need to cut a few more up anyway
