GBA Games in a DS Boxs with Home made inserts. Nifty :)

[Damion]

This is more then likly not new to DS owners. I thought it was cool so I thought I would share.

You can fit GBA games in a DS case. Which to me is really nice considering cardboard really dosen't hold up to well.

anyhoo...

This Site (http://www.snackbar-games.com/gbacovers.php)(<Link) Has a few homemade inserts most Scanned from the orignal Boxs and made up to look really nice once printed out. he even tells you how to make them up yourself and gives you a direct link to the nintendo store so you can order the cases. (I ordered 40)

I came across this a week or so back and thought it was a really good Idea so I made myself a few.

heres some crappy pics of mine (bad cellphone camera)

I've been wanting to do this, but I fail at havnig access to a decent color printing device.

[MegaDrive20XX]

Me too lol I had to go over to a friends house and use theres. I did order a nice one from newegg though thats coming later this week. I'm going to do something similar to this with my older Sega CD and Saturn Games and put them into DVD cases and store the orignal cases away for safe keeping.

heres a link to the printer I bought if your intersted

That's pretty cool, but what do you do with the empty GBA boxes? They must be pretty jealous.

[Cryomancer]

I should make some crazy knockoff boxart for the loose pirate pokemon sapphire I have, heh.

I stored them in a filebox and there up in my closet. gonna keep those for the long haul :)

[sisko]

Great idea!

But how did you obtain all of those extra clamshells? Thyre pretty scarce around these parts right now....

[Cryomancer]

Nintendo's online store has em for like, 10 for $7 or such.

[GobopopRevisited]

MPH: First Hunt cover... Very cool.

I got forty of them for about 35 dollars shipped.

[Richter]

score!

always looking for ways to save space, thanx

[soniko_karuto]

i'm soooo gonna but a bunch of those :D

[classicb]

nice and I like how some of the games have alt. covers.

[Dimitri]

That's awesome. X_x I'd actually made my own MPH First Hunt insert but never bothered to print it...I notice on their forums that the DS cases can be cut so that a regular GB game will fit in it, as well...

...that just leaves my Japanese games (all two of them) to make inserts for...maybe I'll get some cases and try it myself. 8-)

[soniko_karuto]

It would be uber kewl if we made a template for it, so that we can just add the ones we have/want and print them.

[EnemyZero]

ooo, sweet, yeah , japanese covers usually have better artwork, would be nice to get the alternative

[joshnickerson]

Nifty. I might just print some out just to fool some friends that Nintendo is going to start packaging their GBA games in DS cases. LOL

[poloplayr]

Really nice stuff.

Just as with some homemade artwork for DVD films, I'm sure the alternative artwork for GBA games will rock...fans making it for fans.

[Cauterize]

wow! those are ace!!!! Might consider doing that too!

[charitycasegreg]

that is so tubular :eek 2:

[soniko_karuto]

that is so tubular :eek 2:

RADICAL!

Ok, nintendo does not ship to mexico. Damn. I need a po box.

[GameNinja]

I wish Nintendo would do that!

[MarioAllStar2600]

I just ordered some cases for my GBA games, and once they come in I am going to do this. I like these cases much better, and I hate boxes. I always feel like boxes are fragile and get damaged way to easy. So It will be nice to throw them into a box in the corner of my room. Awsome man, this jsut made my day.

[MarioAllStar2600]

Can anyone recommend a free/good program so I can print these. I can't do it in paint.

he has a FAQ Sticky thread about printing them out

Link (http://www.snackbar-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8020)

he mentions using Gimp (which he also links to in the Link I provided) which is free as well as Microsoft photo Editor.

I used something else entirerly on my friends computer (I don't know what the name of the software is) but I'm sure you can go from there.

[GobopopRevisited]

Go to Kinkos... High-Gloss paper and their super duper advanced printers... Thats were I'm going at least.

Let me know how that turns out. Seriously, If that ends up looking like I hope it does I'll be doing that to :)
