Help storing Famicom cartridges
« on: April 15, 2016, 11:21:02 PM »
Hey guys! I have a lot of Famicom cartridges (mostly pirates) without the box and I'm trying to figure out a good way to store them. What I have been doing is storing them in rows, but the more games I get, it takes like a minute (too long) to find something when I want to play it, since (most) Famicom carts don't have top labels. :(

I read that using cassette tape racks works pretty well, but some Famicom carts I have are extra big and wouldn't fit. I also read that it's easier to get what you want out of your games if you keep all them in their boxes. The problem with that is that for a lot of games, particularly pirates, the boxes are hard to find, expensive, or nonexistent. :(

What do you guys do for this?

Also, I have like 5 loose pirate Famicom game PCBs, and it'd be neat to get those into actual cartridges. Is there any easy way to do that?

Thanks!

Store them in alphabetical order. It would be a good idea to assing a specific letter (or number) to each part of your shelf. You could also make end labels for your cartridges and put PCBs in boxes with the game's name written on them.
