Right now I barely touch my Game Boy because it's too much of a hassle shuffling through them all.

Ugh, me too. That's why I haven't even added GB games to my collection on here yet. I have all my GBA games in the original boxes, because it's easier to find those than GB and GBC boxes generally are. If I can find cover art formatted for cassette cases for all my games I'm definitely going to do this.

I found the cassette work for all my loose games but 2 : http://vgcollect.com/item/17412 and http://vgcollect.com/item/16907. Even got some for a couple of games I plan to purchase in the future. :)

I checked it for sin2beta the other day and we came to the conclusion that it would not. Of course I was going off of rough measurements. If someone has some tapes laying around and a GG cart, we'd know for sure.

I'm not sure I understand, are these games sized or shaped differently?

I tryed it and no it wont fit. Its only a millimeter, if you press a little it will go. And i didnt use the paper insert.

Nice. Looks like my cassette cases are delivered! I'll have to start doing some testing with them now. :D

Would a CD jewel case without the tray work? Or is it too shallow?

Of course that could look funny without rear artwork.

just tried and the cart is too deep at the grip part.
it does fit into a DVD case thou. (the cart has to be upside down to avoid the DVD area)

Got my cases in last night! Brought one into work this morning to play with, this one was sitting on top and must have been dropped, cause it's broken. I didn't feel bad using it as a sample. I had made a test cover the other night and decided to print it off and test fit it also. It's a tad small and needs to be enlarged. Also, I need to finalize the artwork.

Turn the game inside the case. They fit better like that and dont slide around.

Once you decide to start playing with artworks, let me know. I have a few requests. :)

Oh ya?

And ya, I turned it sideways after I took the picture. I also realized that I cut the wrong spindle off and the cart is laying on the top of the case. Luckily this one was a test anyway.

Yeah, I found a lot of the cassette artworks but I couldnt find anything for Lufia II or Heroes of might and magic.
