Hey Community,

With there being no decent after market case for Sega Genesis or Master Systems, I figured I would very easily mod a BitBox NES Case. I used foam material, cut and dropped it in the current cut out and it works perfectly, even for the longer carts (mostly EA). Here is where I ask a favor from the graphic guys. Just like it was done for the NES artwork, is there someone that could make a template with Genesis and Master logo's that is currently the size of the current NES BitBox template? That way all I or anyone else has to do is copy and paste the UGC artwork already available into this new Sega template. If anyone could help out, I'd greatly appreciated. I'm no artist at all, all I can do is the basics. Thanks Guys in advance!!

Foam would work, but we do plan on a Genesis BitBox next. We want to be able to fit as many similar shaped carts in as possible, assuming it can still hold all carts well. So we want to see if its possible to do Genesis, Mega-drive, EA, Famicom (short not tall), and  Master System. We may have to drop one or two of those, but since these cases would not be exact matches to the original Genesis cases we feel we need to offer something a bit more "universal". Most likely these cases would be the NES case size and not the SNES / N64 size. I beleive the Genesis manuals fit in the NES size, but I will have to double check.

Bit more difficult to make a template to just drop in for genesis and sms, due to the grid pattern.  The red stripe genesis would be easier.

They do. I just tested with RKA. Genesis manuals are like a quarter-inch shorter than SNES manuals.

You mean the red spine covers would be easier as opposed to the old school grid pattern covers? Could you just throw something together for the red stripe just to see it? Thanks.
