There are also Wonderswan cartridge shells.
These could be nice to use for Flashmasta.
I ordered a few of the cartridge shells and they are probably as good as it's going to get for replicas of the originals. They are very good looking. They are compatible with original shell parts.
There are very minor variations when comparing an original to the reproduction and only if you look closely. The font and logo for NEOGEOPOCKET looks slightly different to me, maybe it's a tad thinner. The triangle in the bottom has slightly sharper corners on the 2 top corners. The font used on the SNK logo is maybe a little thinner than original. The other main difference is on the back where there's the divot in the center (where I assume the plastic is injected for that piece). The original is smooth in this area while the reproduction is textured.
I am pretty happy to have these available. If I get to the point of ever releasing a physical game, these are what I would use.
I like that there are clear and white options to set them apart. Flashmasta would look good in a clear case.
