Are they?
Please tell me they are...
They should be. Haven't tried myself, but many of the goodfellas on thecoverproject.net are PAL regioners, and all the PAL region SNES covers are made for the same UGCs as NTSC region SNES games.

As far as I know, PAL carts are identical shape-wise to NTSC-J carts, and I know those fit fine into UGCs.

Thank you for solving my PAL SNES problem. If the Jap carts fit, the PAL ones will too.

mediashelving is always out. you just preorder and theyre pretty quick about getting them sent to you. i think they even sent mine before the restocking date. at any rate, i might have 20 or 30 available since i'm contemplating selling all of my atari 2600 stuff. i'll post up if i do have some available.

I received my shipment of 100 cases today! I'm going to have to modify a bunch of them to fit my NES games though. However, I don't feel like ruining any of them by botching the job the first time. If anyone can black out exactly where they need to be cut that would be great.

It's really quite simple. You see those four corner posts which are designed to fit the Genesis, SNES, and N64 carts? Just take a Dremel to them and remove all four to fit your NES games. Leave the top and bottom guides, since they fit approximately the same size as an NES cart, to prevent them from moving around too much. And just be careful that you don't cut into the two slots where the tabs go when you close the case.
