My Custom GBA boxart slipcovers for use with DS cases.

Hi there,

This is my first post on the forums!

I've been slowly creating my own slipcovers for my collection of GBA games, and I finally have a decent sized little libraries of them, so I thought I'd share them here.

Examples:




Boxart for Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, Castlevania, Advance Wars and Mother 3 can be found here:

Those are the high resolution image files I made for printing, and this is what they look like when printed out:

A few series I plan on doing next include Sonic Advance, Super Mario Advance and Pokemon.

Questions/Comments welcome!

 

Thanks! In many cases, I have sought the highest resolution images I could find and stitched them together in photoshop.

I've been setting them up as PDF files with the images at 11 inches in length. I didn't create any bleed for them, per se, but they fit will even if a bit of the print is trimmed away. Perhaps I'll make a master PDF one day.

Thanks for the reply!

 

I've made many many more designs since last year at his time! Hopefully imgur serves these up without slowing down your connection too much, so apologies in advance!

Thanks IMK! Nice catch. That does make a lot of sense. Not sure I'll go back and change them, but it's certainly good to know. Cheers.

Thanks, Mr. Face! I've posted them on that site's forum as well.

 

Thanks man! It's all about those spines at the end of the day, as they're what I'll see on the shelf most of the time.

 

Customgamecases.com has DS cases that can hold GBA games, GB games, or even tall GBA games like Drill dozer or Boktai, though perhaps not Trusted.

For most of my GBA games though, I bought lots of empty DS games on eBay. Mostly shovelware licensed titles that people have discarded.

It's definitely a great way to store a Gameboy collection. Especially if you have inductionin booklets to store.

Awesome! I'd love to see pics at some point. Thanks.

Are these your favourite GBA games? I don't own any of these, myself.

 

Pokemon games, 2 of them anyway. These have been a long time coming. Not sure why I've been avoiding them for so long, but I think they turned out reasonably well.

Thanks Kid Nickerous!

http://www.thecoverproject.net is a great place to print off box designs for loose carts.

In my case, I wanted to customize the look of all my boxes, which means mostly just GBA games. But I may do the odd GB, GBC and DS box.

The best way to print them, well, the system that I use, it that I put the image in a PDF document on a legal-sized (14" length) paper and scale the image to 11 inches long.

Then I save the PDFs to a USB drive and get them printed at Staples.
