How do you store GBA carts?

[lordnikon]

I am just wondering how some of you store GBA carts? I have these things laying around. They just keep getting shuffled and moved, I have them in little "stacks" but because of their design I have them in columns of 5, which stack diagonally.

It is driving me nuts. I am afraid if I keep on scooting and pushing and shuffling them around that they will eventually get label worn or something.

I have my GBA boxes set off to the site for safe keeping.

I have seen those small GBA plastic cases. Are these good? I just think its silly to have to spend a fortunate on small plastic snap cases for all of my GBA games. Which are the best quality? and price?

Are there other better options available?

I've got all of them in their boxes on the shelves. There's a few I've got out in my DS case that I intend to play or are arcadey enough, but I guess I really don't play many GBA games for it to be a hassle to put them in and out of their boxes.

I keep a few in my DS game carry case and the rest I keep in DS game boxes. Sometimes its a right arse though when i want to play a game that I haven't in ages as end up opening all my DS cases to find them

[DigitalSpace]

I bought some small drawer organizers at Dollar Tree, and I keep all my GB, GBC, and GBA carts in them, even if they had a box (although most of my carts are loose). I keep boxes set off to the side as well.

I use one of those huge Roses tins that you get at Xmas to store my carts away from harm. I keep the boxes safely stored in a crate in the spare room

I use something called the Universal Game Library. It's an official Nintendo product, but it's kinda hard to find them. Anyhow, it's a nice leatherette folio that holds 32 carts. It has a zipper to keep it closed. I got it at WalMart for $10.

I use three of these:



They came in both red trim and blue trim (possibly yellow too), they are by far the best game case I've tried. Each one holds 20 carts (5 sturdy cloth panels with pockets for 4 games on each). The updated packing claims that you can store DS games in there as well but it's not very good for that. Good lucking finding them though, I spent over a year searching for my third case. I just hope it lasts me.

That sounds nice! I just use individual cartridge cases, and place them in a long row in front of the boxes. It'll do. I don't have very many GBA games.

Myself, I use empty clear Ferrer Roche (SP?) cases. You know, those long rectangle ones with the lids? Work perfect. Plus, you get to eat a bunch of chocolates to make room.

I have a rectangle-ish tupperware container. In it I keep my loose GBA games (all stores in those snappy GBA containers), my loose GB games and GBC games. And my cords and wires.

So, to answer your question, I used those snappy cases. they're fine provided you keep the snappy cases in something, because they come loose from one another and you'll lose them.

i have a couple of small original gb cases i found the work ok for gba games, but its not the best solution by any mean

gba is right near the top in the "worst cart ever" competition. i would even put them above the jaguar, as those can stack on top of each other... kindof

Second that.

I'd just put the loose carts in a drawer for easy access.

I use a Nintendo binder that I got at walmart. It has little pouches inside that can hold both GBA and DS games. I think it holds about 32 GBA games or double that if you put 2 ds games in each pouch.

Is it a binder like a conventional 3 ring binder? Do you have a pic?

That's the same thing that I use. It is kinda like a binder, about the same thickness, but slightly smaller dimensions.

I line mine up in a lunchbox and keep the lunchbox on a shelf (no, I don't carry it around with the games inside rattling around).

[Bratwurst]

I have DS clamshells bought in bulk from Nintendo.com, I plan to print the inserts from Snackbar-Games.com soon. Some of them are pretty crappy, I'll need to make my own.

[DTJAAAAMJSLM]

I keep them all in an old lunch bag.

I just use small plastic tupperware boxes. These seem great and protect the carts very well.
