The GBA DS Cover Project (discussion & links)

these?

[quote name='punqsux']if its those cases itll be most intresting to see how you attempt a cover for them ^^[/quote]

not so much a "cover" as just a spine and tray - the games themselves act as "cover" but I would like to be able to line them up on a shelf and be able to read the spines.

hopefully i'll get one done this week; i don't expect everyone else to get excited about these like they have about the DS cases - its just something interesting i'd like to try so i don't have to cut down DS cases to get old-school games to fit.

BTW - I just ordered one of those famicom/NES Time Machine thingies...I'm pumped!! :cool:
 
[quote name='Snowcone']Any other requests? We are up to 204 covers and I know Slash000 loves to do them.[/quote]

here's some:

CT Special Forces (I'd sacn mine, but it's covered in gunk)
Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time (i'll try and scan mine in)
Ultimate Muscle: Path of the Super Hero (Ditto)

Those are the last three of my current game collection. i jsut need to order some cases and some ink.
 
recommendation to those seeking to modify their DS cases in order to fit GBA manuals in there: if you have access to a DREMEL tool, use it!! I was able to file down and cut out that pesky little strip of plastic (the one in the top of the left side of the case that makes the manuals poke out) with ease, and now my manuals fit perfectly!!

give it a shot, fools!

Do you know how many GBA games there are? I'm sure that you all have made covers for atleast half of them.

From what I can tell there are about 450 and we have several duplicates with alternate covers so we are just under halfway. We are also covering GB and GBC games now.

OK, I tried my idea.....and it looked like shit. oh well...
So, what I did do instead was...I printed out little labels to fit on the spine of the little carts that have the game logo on them; that way i can fullfill my goal of getting them to line up well on my shelf. Maybe one of these days I'll break down and take the time to cut down some DS cases for these games....
I'll try to post some pics of all my GBA/GB/GBC games soon...

Also, i finally got my GBA time machine...and it rocks!! I higly recommend it as a cheaper way to play old FC and NEC carts without having to import a FC machine or import those famicom mini gba carts. Also, it has A/V outs on it so you can use it as a poor-man's NES!

Damn Boss!! Cranking them out!

I still just have my lowly Tom and Jerry and the Magic Ring to do. Not too high on my priority list since I need about 5 more cases to finish my collection anyway.

Thank Slash000, he uploaded both sets of those yesterday. I have been slammed all day at work for almost 10 days now so I haven't had a chance to create any.
 
Hey, do you think we could get a new scan of Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance? It seems to be a pretty blurry scan (no offense to the source of the original scan, but I'm just picky about these things.)

Let me know.

Yeah, that was from my very first set of covers, way back in the beginning. I had lost my C:HOD box, so I had to use crappy pics from the www.cdcovers.cc site. Yeah, if anyone out there wants to scan and email me or Snowcone with the files, we could certainly do up a replacement!

My box is in fairly decent condition, so if no ones sent you one by tomorrow night, i will.

I might have missed this earlier in the thread... but what case fits a GB cart?

DS cases with part of them cut off.
 
I re-did Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Ultimate Muscle, and Samurai Jack, as I was not happy with the quality. These are from my personal scans, how do you want me to send them?

EDIT: NVm, searched around on Snackbar and found the uploader, now uploading the re-done HOD, Samurai Jack, and Ultimate Muscle.

Good...that C:HOD was really annoying me - I had lost my box, and used crappy internet files for that one...

yea, I was home sick and figured, what the hell, tooka 600dpi scan and put it all together.

I'm still having trouble uploading the ultimate Muscle though.
 
The error message should indicate the problem. I capped the images at 7MB each and that is probably the source of your problem. Save these with a quality of 10 in PS and they should be fine. I uploaded the C:HOD one, but not the Samurai Jack yet.

Yep that was the problem, uploaded ultimate muscle.
 
Well, if we're posting requests, I just have 2, Ultimate Brain & Card Games. Unfortunately, we threw the box away for Card Games, and bought Brain Games used, so I can't scan them myself...
 
Just came across this thread and checked out some of the covers. I would just like to say you guys are doing a great job, and I'm really anxious to buy some cases from Nintendo to put my GBA games in. Thanks for your time and effort.

Glad we could help. I thought it was impressive when we had 50 covers but now that we are at almost 350 I don't even know what to say anymore.

I am sure someone has the covers or can build a cover for them.

I got it covered. I found front/back for Brain games, but only a front for Card games. So I created it from scratch. Here are some thumbnails of the two I just uploaded:

I just pick the best printing I can do and then print on regular printer paper. I have to do a bit of cutting, but I'm pretty sure its just my computer being stupid.

Anyway, I have a request, if anyone could be so kind. Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku. I see that the second one is up, but not the first one. If someone needs a scan, I can do it, but it would take a while to set up my scanner and whatnot, just let me know.

And keep up the work guys. This is great stuff. You helped me go from a baggy full of games, to a very neat looking shelf. :lol: Keep it up.
 
so i finally got around to going through and archiving all the covers needed for my gba games, and out of 57 games i own (1 game MIA sadly =o( ) i was able to find 55 covers!!

my 2 requests are Space Channel 5 (i was shocked you guys didnt have this) and X2: Wolverene's revenge.

also i have a few questions (since i dont have any ds cases for reference)

do old gb/gbc games fit properly in the ds cases?

does boktai fit in a ds case?

thanks guys and keep up the good work!
