Hi,
I'm new to The Cover Project but I've been collecting N64 games and I couldn't find a decent gamecase. I wasn't planning on spending alot of money on doublde dvd boxes which you have to modify with a knife. I'm 29 games short of completing the N64 PAL collection cart only so that would mean I'd have to cut up over 200 boxes.
But a few days ago I was at my friends house who just moved. I saw on his table a
nice looking double dvd box. But I recognized it because it was a box which holds the manuals of our digital television provider. The
inside is flat, unlike a dvd box. And I thought this could be what I've been looking for. I asked for the box which he didn't mind giving me, and at home I checked to see if it was going to fit.
Well it did fit but the fit was just a bit to tight by half a mm. The box still closed and stayed closed but there's a small gap from where the halves should meet. I dug up my manuals with the box and checked those out. I found that I had 2 and tried them and these fit perfectly! You couldn't fit a manual in the along with the game but if you don't mind this you're benefit will be that the boxes take up a bit less space.
I checked out the boxes why one box
holds the N64 cartridge perfectly and the other barely. I noticed a sticker on both with a company name and a version number. These version numbers didn't match so they were different boxes.
My N64 cartridge can slide in the box, but not easily. If I put the box standing up the cartridge slowly slide down and will take about 6 seconds the touch the bottom. So the fit is perfect for a N64 cartridge. You could even fit in 2 cartridges. Glue in some narrow plastic walls (could be anything plastic that holds a cartridge in place, glue it on with plastic glue) and you
could fit in all kinds of cartridges, without cutting!
I was thinking about contacting the company that I found on the sticker. I'm not sure if the company produces them but if not I could ask them where they buy them in. But usually companies like this only sell in large numbers. So I'd thought I'd check here because:
Would there be an interest in boxes that can hold the cartridge but in most cases not the manual?Leave some comments or thoughts about this.I added some pictures (click to enlarge)
I aplied in the lazy reader's mod :p
