I just checked PS1 games,

Single Standard case = Slimline 7mm perfect for unsealed games, too tight for sealed games so not recommended for sealed games.
Single Standard case = DVD wraps, very good fit 5mm gap on side, recommended for sealed games

Double Sized PS1 Case = Standard DVD wraps very good fit, a small 3-4 mm gap on side. very good for sealed and unsealed.
Double Sized PS1 Case = DVD D2 extended - Perfect fit if side ways, sealed games are slightly tight, but very little. Personal preference on this but I would use these over Standard DVD wraps.

D'you think the X-Large would fit on the Halo 3: ODST CE?

I checked and yes they will but there will quite a bit of overlap on the side, also the little plastic hanger on top may cause issues. You need atleast a 17" high polybag which the X-large is, but a thinner one would make a overlap smaller. Not too much of an issue for me though.

any idea about Dreamcast PAL, PS1 PAL, Megadrive (Genesis) , Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, or Nintendo NES Sleeves ?

thanks

I don't have all those but can help with some.

I checked and got the following:

Dreamcast standard case = Slimline 7mm are perfect if side ways, both sealed and unsealed.

SNES Cardboard case = DVD D2 extended = Good fit but about 9mm gap at top.

NES Cartridge with Black Sleeve - Slimline 7mm are very good but about 8mm gap on side.
NES Cartridge with Black Sleeve - DVD wraps are perfect if side ways, however a little tight. Obviously better fit without sleeve.

As for the others, sorry I don't have them here. I do have a N64 box but not to hand.

If you give me sizes I can a preliminary check for you on the ones missing.



I have also updated the list above.
