How do you guys store your handheld games? Right now mine are just stacked loose on a shelf, but I'm thinking about buying some foam and cases and making stuff like pic related.

Metal box that a shirt came in. Holds 30+ and a pair of SP systems no problem.
I messed that up. My GBA stuff is in the metal box while my GB and GBC games are in a pair of plastic boxes, same with the manuals for all my GB/C/A games.
I sold them and emulate. Why would you ever bother with shit thats as figured out as this. Only stuff that isn't possible to emulate should be owned
>own bunch of stuff
>in digital, easily replicated format
>takes up no space
Sorry, there's no down sides
>>own bunch of stuff
Haha, yes keep thinking you own it. Naivety is cute.
I'd be interested to hear how having packs of roms with loads of backups both in my house and available everywhere online puts me at some sort of disadvantage
Cus the fbi gonna scoop your compute and take the roms offa you and make you prison while i still have all my overly priced half functioning hard copies and no tangible human contact
what if my backup drives are encrypted on linux nas
can be easily decrypt. source: my uncle works for linux nas.
my nephew's uncle works for the fbi and said I can have roms
You should probably go get a dictionary.
>there's no downsides
It's soulless anon. There are legitimate posters on here who owned quack shot and would buy plungers to be like their hero Donald duck. Nobody who emulated quack shot ever did this or ever would.
I'm so sorry you actually fell for corporate brainwashing
I 100% understand. I too would sell it if something no bigger then a shoebox took up 75% of my only affordable living space.
>want to pickup and go somewhere
>grab huge stupid rattling box of carts
Or I can just have a tiny SD card with shit sorted into searchable folders, rom hacks, various benefits of emulation...
You can own physical if you like, but being a defensive b***h about it is sad
That mildewing disc rotting plastic and cardboard is all they got.
Thats fine, just stop acting like a smartass homosexual who feels the sexual urge to have to come in threads like this and post pictures of sd cards when this shit clearly doesn't concern you. Keep doing it, and people will continue to make assumptions you are a poor homeless homosexual unable to have a place to store a few trinkets.
>thread about how people store their handheld games
>post pic of how I store my handheld games
>there's somehow something wrong with that
>clearly shows a container holding carts
>op clearly asking about physical carts
>come in acting like a clever smartass when its obviously not what thread is about
Just admit you want attention.
>op clearly asking about physical carts
My SD is very much physical
>post pic of how I store my handheld games
But you didn't. You posted a pic of where you store downloaded ROMs. You're literally the fool who thinks wise.
>You posted a pic of where you store downloaded ROMs
yes ROMs of handheld games.
>there's only one emulator in the thread
Didn't post a pic of anything, homosexual
Why would you ever bother coming to a retro video game board with this mindset?
because Ganker is trash
Emulation victim.
I don't collect these mostly because games in GB line use batteries and I don't feel like opening up carts and soldering shit to play a game. Realistically emulation has replaced these games but people are still holding onto the past
I store all my games I own in a bookcase in their boxes
I play all my games using a flash cart instead
in a shoebox in a drawer
uhhhhh in their fricking boxes?
>fuggin bleps
that's honestly a pretty good idea in the OP pic there. What kind of cases or foam would you buy for that and how owuld you cut it?
Ask the little old lesbian lady across the street you doily knitting man lover
card sleeves and wide 3 ring binder
>Gameboy and Game Gear
I keep them in the plastic case they came with, and I put them in a plastic bin so they don't get lost.
Some of my Game Gear games don't have their cases and it's hard to get more, so they just go in the bin as-is.
>Gameboy Advance
Same as above. They'll fit in the older Gameboy cases if you turn them sideways.
>DS, 3DS, Switch, Vita
In the case they came in, on my bookshelf
stacked loosely on solid state chips :^)
No but seriously the few that I have are just stuffed into random nooks on my shelves or the carrying cases for those consoles.
I used to subscribe to some shit called Retro Games Treasure. Fun for a while, but ultimately I could just spend the money on whatever I wanted at the local retro games swap meet instead. They had some really nice ALTTP treasure boxes (well, it's just printed cardboard, but they do look nice) that they used to ship their games monthly that I use to store my loose portable games in
a cardboard box on a chair
i hate cardboard boxes so i only collect gb/gbc/gba loose.
i buy 3rd party cases and put them in these A4-sized plastic containers from target. i need to organize them better, so I plan on using legos to seperate the rows inside the containers.
if people have better ideas im all ears but once your collection is at 200+ games i cant think of a better system.
>im poor so i only collect gb/gbc/gba loose.
I'm so poor I regularly spend hundreds on retro games every month lol
Cardboard sucks, limited editions suck. I just want the games
>I'm so poor even my larps are cheap low quality garbage
The only reason to have a giant wall of video game boxes is if you want to start up an annoying video game youtube channel and you need to signal you're a hardcore gamer
exactly 2 GBA games fit in one Game Gear case
I have a few boxes from a company called "Really Useful Box".
They're very sturdy and I feel like my games are well protected, but you can't see the labels so you have to pull out all the cartridges out to find the right one.
really digging the colors here
In their cases in a box. I fricked up by putting stacks of them in a cardboard box and forgetting about them. Though they weren't mint coomlector essentials I ruined pretty much every box. Also death to every Black person who doesn't properly pack shit they sell you.
On an SD card
Most of them are in their cases in a cardboard box with a random pile of my other possessions. The rest are just there on top of the other stuff.
Then there's the sole GBC game I still own (Oracle of Seasons) which is still in the GBC I bought 20 years ago. I was kind of surprised the save battery still works when I played it in February this year.
This fricker traveled the country coast to coast with me, back in the day.
What brand case is that? Pelican?
Nah, one of these. Were $20 in early 2000s money, came with a headphone adapter and link cable plus a bunch of SUPER gimmicky shit that never worked. Case itself is a fricking tank, though.
Thanks anon, might buy one for my carts now.
handcuff it to your wrist
In their boxes on a shelf. When it comes to actually playing them a flashcart is just more convenient. It's not like a console where your games are always going to be readily accessible.
Keurig cup holders perfect size for gameboy neo geo pocket and game gear.
i use something similar.
acrylic teabag holders, they work pretty well and you can get them pretty cheap
i store mine in my gameboy
Zip lock sandwich bag full of gba castlevanias and final fantasies.
loose in a shoebox
Fricks sake you emulator gays are like the gays and/or vegans of video games. Emulation is good and fine and it's a perfectly valid option, but stop interjecting the fact that you do so in every fricking conversational topic in every thread on /vr/. There is no need to base your entire online existence around announcing the fact that you emulate games for free.
I emulate thousands of games for free
