I don't even own a printer - I had to have mine done at Staples/Kinko's.  Besides, I wouldn't feel right making money off the work of the people who have contributed to thecoverproject.net...

Mr. Jack: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=1520.0
If you have boxes and the ability to scan them in, that'd be great.

Oooo I do indeed have some of the boxes. I'll see what I can do to help the initiative a little later tonight.

Chozo Ghost, they would fit, you would just need to do some cutting up of the box. The part that holds the GBA game would get removed as would about half of the DS game holder part. Depth wise they are even skinnier than a GB game so that wouldn't be an issue.

Maybe I'm just having trouble finding it, but does thecoverproject.net have Virtual Boy covers? I'd love to get my VB games out of their original boxes and into a more durable DS case that can handle the wear and tear.

Would a VB game fit into a DS case? Or would you have to make some modifications to it first? It's been awhile since I've seen a VB game, so I forgot what they look like, but somehow I doubt they're the same dimensions as a GBA or DS game...

EDIT: Come to think of it, it would also be nice to be able to have old original GB and GBC games in a DS case as well.

VB games are much larger than DS games. you'd have to modify it. VB games are a little smaller than the average PostIt size.

The link I gave before has pictures of Bob's GB and GBC games in DS cases.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

You can modify the DS cases to hold GB/GBC carts (as shown in the thread vudu linked to).

You can also modify a DS case to hold a Virtual Boy game - but it'd probably be easier and work about as well to "squish" the Virtual Boy Game into a DS case without modifying it at all.

Alright took a look at my VB games, I have the following in boxes. Red Alarm, Galactic Pinball, Mario Clash, Wario Land, Virtual League Baseball and Panic Bomber (JAP). I'll take a look at the guidelines on the cover project and scan the boxes.

I came to personally congratulate Richard, but I couldn't find his front door so I just smashed right through the side of the house.  I also cleaned out his fridge, much to the chagrin of Mrs. Cook.  :reggie:

Wow! Reggie personally crashed through the wall of your home to thank you for busting those pirates?

That's pretty cool, but it's going to cost a lot of money to fix that hole now. :P
