Hello, all!  New to The Cover Project, I only discovered it today.  It's amazing.  I've been wondering of ways to store my old games from the NES to the GBA for a while now, and this is just excellent.  I am looking for a way to store NES carts to be specific.  I know I'm going to order some UGCs to store my N64, SNES, and Genesis games, but I'd rather not have to mod those to fit NES carts.  are there any other cases that people can suggest?  Or will I just have to bite the bullet and mod the UGCs?

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section of the forum...like I said, new here, but certainly looking forward to being an active member!

Mod the cases!  This is about your only choice.  Besides if you get a different case type, the covers on this site may not fit whatever you buy.

Is it hard to mod them or is it as simple as just cutting a few pieces of plastic off?

Another good alternative is double wide DVD cases

Easy piecy, just few cuts.
I suggest using end cutters for easy cutting

Its as easy as cutting some plastic pieces off, isnt there a guide on the forums explaining how to do this?

Thanks for the quick answers, everyone.  I guess in the end the cheapest, easy way is just to place a mass order of UGCs and then mod the ones I need for NES cartridges.

I can already tell I'm gonna love this forum.  Friendly people...not a single mean response!  Hahaha.

And what about GameBoy and Game Boy Color games?  What should I use to store those?
