Well Snowcone say's he'll host the images. All we have to do now is wait for the cases to come, make some measurements, and agree on a template.

Excellent - thanks! The cases should be here tomorrow or Thursday.

The cases arrived today and they are sweet. It holds my N64 and SNES games almost perfectly (the N64 fits perfectly but the SNES has just a bit of extra room). It also says Genesis on it ( I have no Genesis games to test in it) and - you guys will love this - it says Electronic Arts. All these words are just in slightly raised plastic so you can't really see them unless you look closely.

There is a clear plastic sleeve all around the outside, so it should be really easy to just slide the printouts right in - no need to shave any plastic or anything like that.

I'll get exact measurements asap so the project can begin! Those of you who want cases, PM and we'll work out payment and shipping details.

EDIT:

I tried to measure the case/sleeve. The sleeve is exactly 7 1/16 inches tall, but it isn't quite as high as the actual case - the case is another 3/32 inches taller. I think I'd rather the covers just fit inside the sleeve, but I'm not quite sure.

The spine is exactly 1 inch across. The whole width of the sleeve was kinda hard to measure, b/c the glue that holds it down on the edges is the real limitation. However, it seems to be about 11 1/8 inches total. It might be easiest to just call it 11 inches (I just slid a regular sheet of 11 x 8.5 paper in there and it fit pretty well lengthwise). So the front and back would each be 5 inches across and the spine would be 1 inch.

Maybe slash or someone else with experience from the GBA project could comment on this?

So the cases are EA

Anyways, I think I might grab some cases once the ball starts rolling on this project. I have 40+ N64 games and 20+ Genesis games so I might have to get an entire order for myself. How was it ordering from mediashelving? Good service, quick ship?

Ordering from Media Shelving was pretty painless. You place the order online (or I guess you could phone), and then they get back to you with the exact price, b/c shipping varies so much, You then call (or I think you can email) to confirm or cancel your order.

I confirmed my order Friday and got the cases Today. She said it would be 3 business days, so it was pretty close.

You might as well order another case of 100; I'm sure people will want the extras.

I think that EA is printed on the case to indicate that it will accomodate the EA-style Genesis cartridges, which were different from the standard Genesis cartridges. They mention the ability of the case to hold EA cartridges on the case's description.

That makes sense. The case does have little markings for Super Nintendo, CDs, N64, etc to tell you how to position the game (just in case you're a total idiot, I guess).

Can I exchange scans for cases? That would rock...

I'd like to make some measurements and templates for this project once I get the cases in myself.


Although, the measurements BackLash listed there are pretty close to the ones I already made.

So, if you want BackLash, you can try printing one of the covers I have posted. Although... I really want to make exact measurements and prints when I have the actual cases for myself.

Anyway, this project's about to take off.

YEah, I'll probabky take a shot at printing out one of yours and maybe try to adjust it until it fits. I would have done it yesterday while I was at work (and have access to nice printers - no printer at home), but CAG was down all afternoon :(

Backlash, YGPM.

The Super Nintendo games will fit perfectly in the cases if you have them in a plastic dust sleeve.

i made this a sticky, lets hope this thread takes off like the gba one has!

Thanks punq!

Good call about the SNES cartridges jkam - I tried one with the plastic cover and it fit much better.

I would be willing to chip in for some of the cases. Unfortunately, I never kept any of my N64 cases, so I cant help out in that respect. But if there's anything else that I could do, I'd be up for it. The good news is that the number of N64 cases that would be made is probably much less than the scans for GBA cases. This sounds like a great idea.

Anyone with cases and no scanner, here's a deal for a $5 scanner (after rebate, of course).

The anticipation of waiting for these cases to come is killing me.

I really hope they get here today..

Any chance of a SNES CAse Project?

I have boxes for:

GoldenEye 007
Perfect Dark
Super Mario 64
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Pokemon Snap
Star Fox 64
and
The Expansion Pak

Let me know if we need scans of any of these. Also, which "panels" are being scanned for this project?

SIde note: I have boxes for Legend of Zelda:LTTP and Megaman X3 if there is a SNES project started.

I see no reason why a Super Nintendo project couldn't happen alongside this project, especially since they use the same cases. Once the official measurements and an initial template is created by slash, we can probably just create another thread and collect scans of the Super Nintendo boxes as well.

Of course, there were lots more good SNES games than N64 games, so it will probably be harder to get your collection totally boxed, but we could give it a go. I would guess that most people (other than hardcore collectors) have many of the same N64 games as compared to SNES games.

Hey guys, I finally got my cases in from BackLash. Unfortunately, I've been moving apartments the past couple of days, so getting ahold of an internet connection has been difficult. Should be able to get the ball rolling soon. The covers I posted above are very close, but not exactly the right size for these mediashelving cases.


Anyway, soon as I get some kind of internet access at this new apartment I'll be around here more often, because all we gotta do is decide on the case and we can start sending them in. SnowCone said he'll host them, but I need to ask him about how/where to upload the covers.
