Wii Classic Controller


I still don't know if it will fit in a UGC but here it is anyway.

Oh boy, Shenske to the rescue :) Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it! I don't know if it will fit in a UGC either ;) I use VHS cases for my games and resize the covers form our site since I decided importing UGCs is not worth the hassle for me. I just requested them in UGC format so that other people who might want to use them and have access to the cases can use them without any resizing and stuff. The classic controller is pretty slim though so I think it will fit just fine. It's not much thicker than a NES cart after all.

I just checked mine.... the bottom Joy Sticks make it not possible
BadChad:
Looks like were gonna have to come up with a double UGC solution.

How do you adapt the VHS boxes to hold the games? It would be really helpfull if you could make a tutorial on it since importing UGC to my country is way to expensive too. For a lot of 30 boxes i had to pay an 80 dollars shipment.

Thanks a lot for the cover Shenske now i can keep my classic controler safe from dust in a stylish way jeje ;D
KaiserWAVE:
At the moment I just wrap them in a small paper or plastic bag so they're padded a bit and then I put them in the VHS case. Once I have all the games I want for SNES (8 to go) I'll start printing the covers and modding the cases all in one go.

As for modding the cases to keep the games in place and prevent them from rattling around in the case...
It's really easy, you buy some foam material, cut off small stripes and then pad the cases interior with double faced adhesive tape and the stripes, leaving enough room in the middle for the game. It's not as tight a fit as the plastic holders in a UGC bit it will hold the game in place when the case is closed and prevent it from rattling around. It's really easy to do and doesn't take you longer than 5mins max per case. I've done it before to test if it was an option and was satisfied with it. It does its job pretty well, it's easy and the best thing...it's cheap :) I don't know where my "test case" is so I might not be able to post pictures until I start covering my SNES collection but I'm sure you get the idea.

Oh, and to make it clear before there's any confusion...
The Wii Classic Controller or any other joypad thicker than a SNES or Genesis pad will not fot into a VHS case!!! For those bigger things I plan to give it the same treatment Shenske did with his portable NES clone. Use two cases and glue/screw them together. I just requested them in UGC format because I plan to print it out twice, use one for the front and one for the back and the spine is double. Should I change my mind I just need to change the spine's dimensions since everything else is already the correct size.

So again, the Wii classic controller does NOT fit in a VHS case or UGC. There is some modding required if you want to go down that route like I plan to.

So @Shenske:
Again, thanks a LOT for doing one of my requests. If you leave the cover as is, which would be fine by me, I guess you could put it into my ftp folder or put it into your box.net account if you want to share it with anyone else but me. That way people who see the cover won't be bitchin' that they can't use the cover the way it is :D
