Quote from: MasonSushi on 02/02/2016, 10:29 AMI have gone so far as to model the case and had it formally quoted from several injection molding vendors. From the cheapest place located in the US (with Chinese molds) I would have to buy 10,000 cases up front and then sell them all at $4.32 each just to break even.Quote from: HailingTheThings on 02/01/2016, 05:24 PMSimilar, but with out the pegs. Just the outline of the HU card to keep it from sliding around. I know molds are expensive, but I figured that it might not be so expensive that it couldn't be done. I think paying $2 for a tray insert is fine. Its just hard for me to pay out $8 or more for a replacement case. I am sure they are expensive to produce with 3D printing, but when I can go out and buy a chump game for that same price, get the case and then have trade material with the unwanted game, its just hard for me to justify. I am sure many think the new cases are cool, I am just wondering if there is a chance on finding a cheaper alternative. That's all. I am not meaning to anger people.Quote from: MasonSushi on 02/01/2016, 04:08 PMI was wondering with all the empty shell that are made now for NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, why cant somebody design a tray that could slide into a standard jewel case that would hold a HU card in place. That way we can put an insert in the back and they should be fairly cheap. I have heard that somebody is making 3D copies, but not how reliable that is or if it is true, I know 3D printing is expensive, so maybe a tray would cost less in the end.You mean like these?
Just an idea that i'm sure that has been brought up before.
As opposed to like the black ones?
They'd be maybe a little cheaper to produce, but not much. Probably. I know nothing, though. Oops.

Quote from: esteban on 12/31/2015, 12:16 PMIf memory serves me there was a promotion where if a friend bought a TG-16 and you "recommended" it to them you both got a free game out of a limited selection. I ended up getting three games (I think) like that. I know for certain that I got Victory Run and The Legendary Axe like that. I want to say that I got one other but I cannot remember what it was.Quote from: jelloslug on 12/29/2015, 02:54 PMThat's great. Can you explain what you had to do for the game? Thank you in advance.
Quote from: Nulltard on 08/20/2015, 12:26 PMNo sir, no soldering. Now that I think about it, though... i'd swapped PCE Pad/Turbo Pad. You may have to use PCE Tap/Turbo Tap for the cables to work... i don't have a tap here at work to test with so hopefully someone else can chime in. PCE Taps are super cheap if you get one that is nice and beat up.I did just the opposite to get my 3 button PC Engine controller to work on my Turbo.
Quote from: guest on 05/02/2015, 09:48 PMSo jello do you keep the boxes separate from the games then?I do have some sealed games (duplicats only) but yes, I keep the boxes seperate. I made (make) ridgid foam box inserts to go in the empty boxes to help them hold their shape.
Quote from: Duo_R on 04/03/2015, 05:47 AMCan you post a picture of one on a TE? These look great!
Quote from: Nulltard on 02/19/2015, 02:41 AMDid someone say le French?Quote from: Gentlegamer on 02/18/2015, 11:49 PMIndeed... it can be seen from space!Quote from: henrycsc on 02/18/2015, 11:02 PMI'd be interested if there are any Canadian/French Text manuals in the giveaway, otherwise I don't really need to enter.Somewhere, Nulltard's cardboard alert just went off.
And if that isn't collectarded enough, here's proof
Quote from: CrackTiger on 11/03/2014, 01:48 PMPeople attempting to produce new HuCard cases usually say it's too expensive, but rarely get into specifics.Right now at Shapeways an exact duplicate of the Turbografx style back shell costs $34.77 (plus shipping) made out of the white material that I use for the parts that I'm printing. To print it out of a higher resolution material to get it "perfect" costs $115.91 (plus shipping).
I would be happy to pay $5 per case and am perfectly fine with the simple PC Engine style ones, without the arm holding the HuCard.

Quote from: Nulltard on 09/03/2014, 10:24 AMI'm going to do that with the test one that I have now. I just need to get some model paint.Quote from: Desh on 09/02/2014, 09:50 PMThat ever drive cover looks nightly sweet!Definitely getting one when they go for sale. Imagine, with the right nail polish or acrylic paint...
