Maintaining 1:1 Aspect Ratio. Thoughts, Suggestions?

[retro_gamer]

Hi Guys,
Ive just got some EU DS Cases as they are the cheapest to get here in Australia (only $2.80 each) brand new.

I would really like to keep the aspect ratio as close as possible so it would be simple to just insert a raw scan with minimal editing and stretching. I have close to 100 GameBoy games to case up so I want it to be as quick as possible.

I have come up with adding a side bar to the font and back like the 3DS covers.

What are your thoughts, suggestions and how to do guys over come this without stretching the artwork.

Having made quite a few GB and GBA covers, I find that...I think it's LarryInc64's template...works best for me. It's got extra-wide left borders on the front covers to minimize the stretching on the front, and a border just like you've shown here on the back to minimize stretching of the back cover.

What you've got here still looks good, in my opinion. And if it works for you, then go for it.

I really like the clear GB cases, reminds me of the original mini cartridge cases.
