Artist's Corner > DS Case Covers
GB/3DS cover scans (I need help deciding on GB/GBC cover methods)
Danno:
First off, I gotta say I love this site. I'm currently working on making covers for my GBA games by buying cheap CIB DS games at a local pawn shop (just for the cases). I really like the way the covers turn out. My poor GBA games have been hidden away in a big plastic container for far too long (mixed in with manuals, GB/GBC games, and my GB Camera).
Anyway, now I started worrying about my GB/GBC collection. I've got almost every Kirby game, all Zeldas, Metroid II, Donkey Kong, DK Land, Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow... Y'know, basically a lot of great games that defined my childhood. The poor things aren't on display at all - they're just neglected and forgotten. So, I'm thinking of making cases for them.
I'm having a hard time deciding on which option to go with. As far as I've seen, my options are:
a) Use an original DS case, slice up the GBA and DS slots so that a GB game will fit (upsidedown?).
b) Use any DS case, slice everything out and insert cardboard or foam with a GB-sized hole.
c) Use a 3DS case and put the game on top loosely sideways, strategically place foam so the game won't slide around.
So, my problem is that I would prefer the games to be facing rightsideup. I understand with option A, you can flip the case upsidedown for that effect. However, mutilating the limited GBA-type cases in existence makes me feel a little sick and I don't think I could acquire that many original DS cases (I have about 30 GB/GBC games).
Option B is kinda tempting with foam, but is it secure enough? I wish the game could snap in like option A.
Option C seems like a clever alternative to mutilating cases. I've got mixed feelings on it since the game is sideways and fairly loose.
Are there any other options I missed? Which method is most popular here?

Yep, definitely this. Worth the slightly extra cost.
With that said, if you decide to go with DS cases, try Game Stop. They often have extra DS cases that they are going to throw away and will give them to you for free. I've picked up many that way for my own DS games (I don't use them for GB because of the above link). The cases they gave me even included covers and manuals for the games that were originally in there. They are never big name games but that's more artwork that I can scan for the site.
