New Virtual Boy Custom Covers

[Arseen]

Do those cases have film to hold the art or do you put the cover in to those like you would to a CD case?

[ShoothimNow]

Inside, it's like a cassette tape case




Old pictures incoming, as I can't find where my games are right now... lol

Vertical Force was printed on a Laser (last year) compared to the others on inkjet (5 years ago)






And no... my workstation down here is NEVER cleaned.  Ugh, shut up...

Funny you ask for that I also have a side project for the ZIP Disk Cases going on as well. I only have 3 or so right now, but once the DS Case art is done, I was going to move on to these I just didn't have a template size made yet, so I will just work from yours if that's cool?

They look really good in those little jewel cases --- I'm now regretting my decision to mutilate the DS cases, but alas, that is my life haha.

[ShoothimNow]

Oh I don't mind at all!  

Don't regret starting on the DS cases though, as these cases seem rare AF to find and I just got lucky.  They are occasionally on Amazon for $10/3-pack.

I will say that I do like your "red" box on the front cover compared to my all out zoomed up image (I think.... I would have to print out the other look and compare, heh)

Unfortunately, Nintendo no longer sells red DS cases for replacements, so I'm resorting to scrounging around to find copies of Mario Party DS to find them

Much like a CD case, Arseen. It kind of just sits there

I order stuff off of decluttr all the time, new super mario bros and Mario kart seem to come with red cases pretty frequently.

You mention the Zip Disk case and I go home and make it a project to turn one into a case haha. I used my Panic Bomber cover as a starting point and added some foam board for stability inside the case. Turned out quite nice IMO. Unfortunately, I have manuals for 10/14 games so these won't work out for me in the long run, which sucks because honestly, they look great. Maybe I'll just store the manuals somewhere else ...

Either way, I'll be making the cover art for the Zip Cases as well, since that actually seems to be a popular method

I used modified shadowfox cases and like the result.

The zip cases are really nice but I would miss the back art and barcode.

[Arseen]

Found 2 of my old tracking lists.
Shows what I have... somewhere...

[ShoothimNow]

Well don't I look silly.  I guess a Zip Disc case would be kind of universal (LOL).  Those pics look awesome!

Vertical Force

[ShoothimNow]

The front ship seems to "pop out" of the template on the original box, if one were to be picky about it 



My cover of it should be in that psd template file if you want to use that 

[ClayYTOfficial]

Haha yeah, Mario's Tennis and Wario Land did the same, opted for a contained version (for my personal taste) would definitely be open to creating alternates for those that want them
