[DS] Storing DS Games

These days, I still use the cases, but because I have so little of them, I used my old DS case to hold some games since there are slots in there. I always at least have four games on hand though. Three go into the current case, and the other is in the DS.

I might need to get a couple more cases though... The DS Case isn't really working too well right now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Unlike most people, I carry just about all my games when I leave to go somewhere more than 2 hours away. I'm usually indecisive on what game to play, so I bring all of them so I have access to all of them. I could be feeling Phoenix Wright for like 20 minutes and then change to Etrian Odyssey then. Except, in Etrian Odyssey's place, a more correct place holder would be "random".

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

My DS holder has three inbuilt slots for carrying games and a little net pouch into which I've fitted four plastic game holders that hold two games a piece, so what with the one already in the DS I can carry 12 games with me easily. I also have a little additional carry case which is just wider than three games across and a bit extra height wise, but it can carry nine more games. Suits me.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I used to carry all my DS carts in a zip-up SD card case. Since they're about the same size, it works pretty well. I realized I don't switch the games unless I'm on an overnight trip though, so now I just shove my DS phat (lol big bulge) in my pocket and get on with the day.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I have a nice little case that holds my original DS, eight carts, and has a compartment behind the cart straps that can hold a power supply, spare styluses and additional assorted GBA carts that I truck around with me. It's actually this one here:



I bought it for $10 at Best Buy like a year and a half ago and it's perfect for me. I don't carry more than 8 DS carts with me at any given time because I don't like chucking them in the rear but now that I think about it, I may buy some of those 3-cart clear cases and throw the rest of my games in the "handpurse" as well.

Pictures please.

On topic, I use an M3-card (20 games) and one of these socks:

How ya doing, buddy?

I just use a spare DSL pouch for the games, got 40 of them so it's about the right size too

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's basically multiple DS games in a single DS cartridge, and thus, is extremely portable.

I have 19 DS games at the moment so it isn't a sensible option to be taking them anywhere.

I need to get one of those flash card things, because I definitely agree with you and those carts. I lost a game once and swore never again to go out and about with more than one title on me.

Brother uses one of those carts as well. (R4) and well no more tagging around carts after carts

but that sock sure looks nice. =DD

Doesn't that kinda violate the "all your eggs in one basket" rule though?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

So has anybody used this before?



Seems really efficient to me. And for $10, it's better than the 3 cases of 3 that I usually get for $6.....which I'm about to run out again with EO2 and Izuna2.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I actually saw that while looking up DS Lite cases online. Can you get them in America? I'd love one of those. I'd save money and space.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, I bought the black one. They're not really that good. =\


Same thicknesss'sss as a DS.


Problem is, the games are incredibly difficult to get out once they're clipped in. At first I thought it was because it was new, but after about two weeks, it's still the same. Sometimes it's like the game is going to snap in half or something.


Then again knowing my luck I probably got some retarded one.

You can buy it off of Play-asia for the aforementioned $10 (which includes shipping).

Hmm...It seems really convenient....I don't mind if it takes a bit of force, but if the amount of force that it takes is close enough to break the game in half...that's not a good thing.

You haven't snapped any of your games in half, have you, Infernal?

There are some retailers (Fry's comes to mind) that sell Hori products, but I don't know how big the selection is as I haven't been to the store in a long time. I think Hori actually is manufacturing stuff for the US market, so their products shouldn't be to expensive.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't think I've ever seen Hori products in stores before. We don't get Fry's here either.

I guess I'll skip out on that case though. Sometimes it's even hard to take games right out of its own case, so there's no sense taking it out only to put it into another case that's as equally hard to take out. I'll just stick with the cases I'm currently using.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I personally prefer having one case that holds everything instead of 6 smaller, loose cases that hold 3 games each. They work fine, but it means I have to keep track of 6 cases when I could just keep track of 1 big one.

But I don't know, I suppose since I have exactly 18 games, I'll stick with what I have until something else comes out.

FELIPE NO

I saw someone use an Altoids gum container. Perfect fit. And I'd imagine you could use a full-size tin for muchos games.

I personally use the two-game case that came with the Portrait of Ruin pre-order. I never need to carry around more than three games (I can stick one in the DS), so it works great.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Ah, that's the other thing. When I take my DS, I take ALL of my games with me since I never know what to play. And unfortunately, I have maybe 6 or 7 active long-term games going on and a few I've beaten but can easily be picked up again. The rest fall into the pick-up-and-play type of games.

And I'm not sure what an Altoids gum container is...unless it looks like the Altoids mints containers. But I can't imagine them fitting safely in there, unless you really packed it in.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hori-anything is always great. I however, just lug all the game cases around.
