Are you tired of having loose game cartridges everywhere? Isn't it frustrating when you have no where to put them? Well, g0sub from The Cover Project has a solution for you!
MATERIALS NEEDED
Game Boy Cartridge
Colored Printer
Clear cassette case
Paper of your choice (I prefer semi-glossy)
Dremel/Other power tool for cutting plastic
1. Cut the pivots off of the case, there are two of them on the inside.
2. Download and print your game cover
3. Enjoy the neatness.
4. (Optional) You can put the game into a Nintendo plastic case, and then put it into your case.
Here are the game covers:

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Make sure that you set the printing to scale of 100% that makes them print out in intented size USUALLY.
That suggests that you have some kind of "strech to fit on to page as big as possible" setting on.
Try this in windows 7 (other versions as well) Paint:
USE LEGAL SIZE PAPER (OR A4 IF EUROPEAN)
Go to print -> page settings.
Choose Legal as your paper size (or A4 if you are European) and put autocentering on (both vertical and horizontal) adjust borders to minimum and choose scaling of 100% (this makes sure that the print-out is actual size).
And check from print preview that the cover fits to the paper, as there are some covers that have dimensions screwed and they will try to print on to 9 separate papers (these can be printed by choosing scaling of 32%)
That should work.
ALSO: If you are using letter size, print to a scale of 24%.
