Well, I got inspired this evening after work. I lost the art files to my mini box, but found a saved picture of the design and began rebuilding the original file as best as I could. Plus I redid the artwork to River Raid as well. I took the measurements from the sleeve of my copy of Mr. Run And Jump.

I've never tried making 2600 boxes since I never really looked for a template to start from. Having said that, I DID start designing a small cart sized box that I had never finished. Life got in the way and I had forgotten the project until recently. Unfortunately I think I've lost my art files somewhere on my hard drive, and will have to start again from scratch.

IMG_4957.HEIC Here's a repro box I made for Homebrew World Championship 2012 for the NES. I used a two piece box template I found online, imported my artwork into Cricut Design Space, and used the print and cut feature to print on the vinyl and cut the box as well. My only real issue with my artwork is that I need a better glue for the halves. I used super glue instead of E6000 like I should have used.

Those Activision relabels look great. What kind of material did you print them on? I've used Cricut Printable vinyl to make some repro boxes for my Homebrews I've collected. I only wish the vinyl had more of a matte finish.

Has anyone had any experience with these 2600 cart clamshells? I'm genuinely curious about them, but I have literally never seen any other listings for them anywhere. Well besides the sellers eBay page. I like the look of them, but not having any other information or reviews really gives me reasons for pause. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115788179623?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=115788179623&targetid=1529314449590&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9006458&poi=&campaignid=19851828444&mkgroupid=145880009014&rlsatarget=aud-1242981527210:pla-1529314449590&abcId=9307249&merchantid=433597226&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4Y-sBhC6ARIsAGXF1g7jBRgXOnDk01D1o7GwmEq7-nwFKZX9P1hzsQ0HCT-PBI8XLbvPAzgaAqorEALw_wcB

Homer just summed it up best lol.

Ultimately, I would love to see a homebrew officially licensed by Atari. There are so many fantastic homebrews like Juno First or Stay Frosty 2, or even Frenzy or Space Duel for the 7800. Frenzy would be awesome especially now that the revamped Berzerk has already been released.

I paid about $215 for my Jag at the time. It was more than the $180 for the eBay Jag, but this one actually came with a warranty lol. I didn't want to get burned by eBay again.

Well, I did buy a Jag from eBay that was dead on arrival. Had the U38 replaced and recapped, but had a fault somewhere in the video leads I have yet to figure out. But bought a second Jag from Lukie Games, and works perfectly. Only wish it had the Caps from the dead Jag lol. Of course it didn't look ANYTHING like that Pikachu N64. I'd be jacked.

My favorite NES soundtrack has got to be Bucky O'Hare. So many great tracks.

Um, I don't think the game is actually out yet. Which would likely be why you never received your game. Have you actually been following this thread?

Just got mine in the mail today. Just popped it into my PC and had to disable DSP to get any life out of it. Though I only get a rainbow Jag logo and a warp starfield. Guess I need to figure out how to rip it into a j64 image for my GD.

Just snagged one! Now to make a DVD case cover for it.

If we bought a copy, would it work on Virtual Jaguar? I ask, because I have had no success in making a Jag CD iso converted for use on my Game Drive.

If only I didn't suck at shmups.....
