So apparently Paper Mario 64 has a game-breaking glitch.

If you have 400 years to play it. :lol:

I've finally finished making the DS case covers for my Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, and Game Gear games. As soon as I crawl myself out of debt (it's actually not (much) because of buying video games this time but unforeseen car troubles), I'm going to order 40 or 50 blank DS cases and finally get those on a shelf. I'll probably need to buy a new bookshelf, too...

That's quite the undertaking. I'd love to do the same if I had the space. Cover Project stuff is awesome.

Anyone else submit games to the RFGen database? I've done about 200 total, though apparently some people can hit that in a month's time. :shock: Most of what I've added is obscure crap (or really new digital games) but I recently had to submit two Super Famicom games. I figured that stuff would be complete already.

Most DS cases made these days won't actually fit GBA without modification, and won't fit the others at all without heavy modification.

Alternatively, ShadowFox over at The Cover Project (and also has his own site, customgamecases.com) made a case that has the same dimensions as the DS cases, but will hold GB/GBC/GBA games with no modification. He's planning to eventually make GG cases too (has done the GB* cases and NES as well as Genesis repros, with SNES/N64 in the prototype stage right now)

Disclaimer: I am not employed by him, just a huge cheerleader cuz I'm waiting for him to get down his line until he reaches the "Sega Longbox" point and I will be soooooo happy.

I've submitted one or two. Nothing major though.

Wow, that sounds like that must of been a lot of work! I want to do this too, eventually. I only have five GBA games and one GBC game though, so it's not like it would be a huge amount of work for me :lol:

I hardly ever buy new purses, but when I do, I pick them based on the following critera:

1) Must fit books larger than mass market paperbacks
2) Looks like something a pokémon trainer would use

I did this back in the day. It was a huge waste of time for me though as I got out of GB collecting and sold all that shit. Now I wish I spent that time gaming instead of printing art and cutting up DS cases. :|

sure. It did. Nowadays I'd rather just buy stuff CIB to begin with rather than try to make it look nice at the sacrifice of my time and effort.
