PC Engine games in 3DS cases
« on: July 09, 2013, 10:12:56 PM »
Ok here it goes. I tried out that new Turbografx template with the 8 disc DVD CASES. I wanted to try something different for PCE. After some different ideas I tried 3DS cases. Turns out these fit in perfect with my collection no modding the case for hucards, holds instruction card or just the game no problem.

Note:
The PC Engine template was created based off original PCE designs with some modifications. The TG16 template was used from Phase (EktoPhase's) fantastic 8 Poly design - just applied to the 3DS template:

 And the size better matches jewel cases. See for yourself. Between 3DS, DS cases and the 8 disc DVD case, the 3DS case is the thinnest.

That's actually flipping cool.  Well done!

I think I'll stick to jewel cases myself, but this is definitely a Good Thing.

That looks pretty neat. How did you get the inserts to fit? Did you need to re-print the CD-Jewel case inserts again to account for the thicker width of the Nintendo case?

Looks nice, Duo_R.  :mrgreen:

Get 'em from Nintendo for $1 each or 5 for $4 or on Amazon in 5, 10, 25, or 50 packs.

Link to the Amazon cases? Yeah they are pretty cheap.

Also hard to tell from the photos but on the front cover I put some verticals lines on that area that looks white to simulate the ridges on the jewel cases. In on of the photos you can kinda see it.

linky (same seller has the smaller bundles)

The pics make 'em look awfully yellow, but maybe it's just the lighting.  I'd try to check before buying.
