SEGA 32X Custom Game Case Hack - How To Make Your Own

I collect loose Sega 32X game carts and have always wanted a better way to display and store my collection. I know you can buy specialist aftermarket Universal Game Cases (UGC) to store your retro game carts but they're difficult to source and very expensive. So, here's an idea I had to create a cheap and fun alternative by hacking a Nintendo DS case :).

You can pick up these replacement cases reasonably cheap on ebay or you just harvest them from bargain bin DS games. You can easily find, download and print the boxart you need from a number of websites. I used thecoverproject.net and digitpress.com for mine.

Thanks for watching!

What kind of printer did you use? Ink or Laser? Cause I've noticed that when I use ink on glossy paper - the picture gets all smudgy and stuff.

[RetroGameTech]

@Herc0gs Just a regular cheapo Canon inkjet printer. Just make sure the settings are set to glossy photo paper and highest quality. The printer will then take it's time to give you a nice quality image.

Great Idea I have a Bunch of 32x Games that are loose that im going to do this to. Great Video Man!

[RetroGameTech]

@SpinTheDemon I highly recommend :). The best custom boxart I could find was from digitpress. I'll be finishing off the rest of my carts later this week. You should post a vid of your collection when it's done.

That's pretty ingenious, I'm gunna sort out some of my 32x games now:) Lol at Cosmic Carnage.

What's the theme in the background though? it sounds like street fighter but I can't put my finger on what it is and it's starting to wind me up...?

[RetroGameTech]

@vestibual Haha, I was wondering when someone would ask :P . The music in the first half of the vid is the Bayonetta climax remix of the After Burner theme. The second half of the vid is the climax remix of Space Harrier :) .

nice edit to that art work

[MartyrOfChaos]

@Herc0gs yeah u need a printer with settings for glossy paper or that happens u also need to let it dry before u touch it i like to use semi gloss i find glossy to shiny if u cant get semi gloss try matte that also works great but if your printer does not have settings for these types of paper u may just want to use plain paper

epic

Very nice modification; I noticed one thing about your final artwork though. The horizontal "Genesis" text on the spine is too big; it bleeds slightly onto both panels.

hey man, where can i get that awesome mix of space harrier? nice vid too

[xINVISIGOTHx]

wow, those cases look great!

[SCBianchi]

@DecepticonMecha Nice! How can you not???

[DecepticonMecha]

Whenever I see Cosmic Carnage, I think of Mark from Classic Game Room. LOL
