I've been putting these together for the past couple of years as I archive my favourite GBA games. I initially did it to have a boxart for Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade for which I have an English repro cart.

I should probably be uploading these to the site, but I just haven't got to it yet.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I have 3 more that I haven't posted yet, with more planned. Although a I tend to do them at a casual pace.

This weekend, I finished Super Mario Advance 1, 2, 3 and I plan to do number 4 tonight, interestingly enough.

I do own TMNT, so I will probably get to it eventually.







EDIT: Finished SMA4 boxart:

Thanks Lando!

I'm working on a bunch more. I just completed Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Tennis Power Tour, Mario Golf Advance Tour, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Drill Dozer.

I must admit that this is an unorthodox rate of progress for me, I'm usually much slower in making these. Hah! Stay tuned.

Hi!

As I allready told you on Imgur - they look awesome and they have a fresh design.
Are they done for US or EU DS cases?

@Novason, They are done for US DS Cases. I'm from Canada, myself, so I think they are the same as the US ones.

Are the dimensions for EU DS cases very different?

Yeah, I'm in the US, so I don't have any, but they are clear and a bit thicker. Their CD cases (PS1, DC) are also thicker. I just realized it, but GameCube cases are different in each region. Japan has tiny, almost Vita-sized cases. Europe and US have similar DVD size cases, but US has the GameCube logo at the bottom of the spine, with the memory card slot above the disc(s) inside the case. The PAL cases have the memory card to the right of the discs and the spine logo on the top.

The cover fits fine on the US DS cases, you just have to make sure the size is 4.56" x 10.86"

With a slightly larger spine for EU DS cases. I don't know the size offhand.
