View Full Version : GBA slots in DS cases

Is it just me, or are the GBA cartridge slots in the DS cases just a bit too small? I had a couple of my GBA games in there, realized the DS cases weren't closing properly, and saw that the GBA cartridges weren't popped in all the way on one side. So I popped it in there, and I'm pretty sure I nearly snapped the cart open in doing so (since it kinda snags on the seam on the side).

Is this an issue with some minor variations in the case manufacturing, or does everyone have this problem with all their DS cases? Or is it just me?

Nope have never had any issues with the GBA slots in the DS cases. it's a bit snug at times, but it works.

Works just fine with mine. No problems. Yet.

It's actually a great way to store my GBA cartriges, now. I try to match the games together (like I have GBA Adv. Wars 1 in my Adv. Wars DS case).

I've had some issues with that. I tend to have more luck getting one end in and then getting the other in instad of forcing the whole cart into the slot.

I know what you mean its like you have to jam it in there. I hated doing that so now I slide one side under the little plastic tab and then pull the other one out a little so the game can slide underneath the tab. No problems since.

Yeah, I was thinking that might be the route to go. I'm hoping they will be easy once I get used to it. I'm not planning on throwing away my GBA boxes, but it would be nice to store them in the DS cases and then just put the boxes away somewhere. I'm already low enough on storage space as it is.
