I'm coming back to this!  8) So besides the N64 cleaning kit, Game sharks, and Everdrives am I missing anything??? (I should.... or someone should create a new thread about the SNES cases and odd shaped items, I'm taking both N64 and SNES molds on at the same time)

Small (small) update! These molds have been paid for and we are finally moving ahead on samples! Once the drawings get to me I'll be sharing them! I pretty sure you all know the drill here.  ;) Once they have proofs I'll be posting photos and sending samples out to a select few (looking for flaws or items missed) I'm pretty sure the N64 mold is going to be the easier one out of the two, but I want to make sure we put all the N64 issues to bed before moving onto the SNES/SFC cases.  ;)

I don't think there is any other size cart, other than very obscure and rare things, like the wide-boy 64 (A Game Boy adapter). Nothing to worry about.

N64 games are about the same size as Genesis, Jaguar, Master system and most Famicom games. Maybe have the case accommodate them?

Are Red cases going to be available?

Everdrive is same size as standard N64 game, just have to make sure your clips don't cover the SD slot (and I have no reason to believe they would)

Pretty sure that game genie (or were we at the point of only game sharks by then?) and maybe a cleaning kit are the only odd shaped N64 carts out there, at least in the US as I do very very little importing. I know there's a good number of people out there who have collected full set US at least, should be easy enough to check.

Yeah, Game Genie was done before the N64, so Game Shark is what needs to be considered.  The big problem is that most Game Sharks (mine at least) have some type of port that could be hooked up to a computer.  This make the Game Shark much thicker at one point which makes it difficult to fit into a UGC without it bulging a little.  However, if Shadowfox plans to make the N64 cases the same thickness as NES (which I believe he said that was his plan) than it might fit anyway.  I'll have to try it in an NES case to see if the thickness works.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

^^ related to ED's and the game cases (not cartridge housings) to be used:
some everdrives have a dual sm socket, the megaeverdrive has the standard sd socket (rear of ED pcb) and a micro-sd socket too. (front of ED pcb)
the n64EDv2 only has the one sm socket, we all know that's for sd cards.  :P
had checked to see if mine had an mcsd socket too, nada.  :'(
the megaeverdrive was easy to obscure, just drop a loaded mcsd in it, use a standard NON-breached/customized cartridge housing rear, and it's as good as bought legit and from sega themselves...except i've opted for no label on the MED, just a black cartridge. (used standard posidrive/philips screws for the housing.)
...
now, about the n64EDv2 i have, this also applies to any sd card and socket. (cartridges generally even, the principle is the same.)
careful leaving in an sd card semi=permanently, or the socket pins could lose some of their spring, and not contact against the card teeth properly, had to maintain my n64EDv2 by gently lifting the sd card socket pins.
so far, so good, no volume connection/stream issues since.
...
the micro sd cards are much more reliable of a form-factor, but it's whether krikzz bangs out dual sockets as a standard for all his spoofers now? (could ask?)
...
still, any n64 game case remake with it's salts would probably take this into account anyway  just make sure the relief isn't closed off completely up top, leave roughly a cm on both sides for the cartridge to be gripped safely...without RIPPING it in two because cheap-a$$ remake cases have a death-grip on shit. (tangent: not this subject of course, just a general observation.)  :P

Can't wait for these.  Since I finally got settled into my house I not have the time to really work on stuff again.  Assuming these cases are the exact same size as the NES ones I am about 99% done with my template. (Just need to shave off a few pixels from the horizontal.



3 down, 293 to go.

Is that a new template Pringles or is that Wiggy's template?
