Original Post

I was looking around online to see if anyone sold custom made game cases and had no luck. I did how ever find this article: http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=79852 . Its pretty darn nifty what this guy did. Nintendo even sells them in red. How awesome!

I found some covers here:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/cover-collections-for-emulators-with-cover-support.324714/page-22
The download link is dead, but there are some scaled down Photobucket images I could work with.

JP games:
Virtual Lab – Good Scans
Virtual Fishing – Good Scans
Insmouse – Good Scans
Virtual Bowling – Good Scans
SD Gundam – Good Scans
Space Squash – Good Scans
Space Invaders – Good Scans

All the Jap games seem to have good scans in the game list on the site, I’ll make covers for them soon, it should not be that hard.

I made a cover for the Jap Ver of SD Gundam.

You can find the Fishbone cover here: http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=25121#forumpost25121

You can see here: http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=27143#forumpost27143 that HoMenace already has covers for Space Pinball, Blox, Faceball Prototype Edition and Japanese Virtual Fishing.

I don’t know if they are floating around somewhere on this site but there are basically 3 threads to check:

Maybe you just want to ask HoMenace to post the covers or ask him where he got them from.

HoMenace said a post or two below he deleted the covers for Fishing, Faceball VB, Blox and Space Pinball before he uploaded them.

I see. You can ask UncleTusk then (http://www.planetvb.com/modules/usercenter/index.php?section=profile&uid=2945). He made the Boxes after all so he has the original Photoshop files of those. I think he will happily provide them (or a high res rastered image) as he is not selling those games anymore.

That should cover Faceball Prototype, Blox and Space Pinball.

I have the original box art for Fishbone in case you want to change something to my cover.

I don’t have any of the Japanse Boxes but as you said there should be good scans of those on this site.

I’ll ask when I get home from school. I’m going to touch up a few things on the existing covers, mostly the esrb and seal of quality. I don’t need the raw art for that.
When I get home I’ll start a master list for all covers. Home brew and japan exclusives seem to be covered, no pun intended, but some NTSC games need better scans.

Thanks for the idea! I made a set of cases as you described. I also made laser/machine cut-able templates for the foam inserts (with and without VB font logo).

Attached image is what they look like when done.

Files for everything here.

Looks great!

The VB logo in the foam insert is a very nice touch.
