Great to hear about the Aquarius Fileform protectors! Are there plans for the Logo/Extended Basic box, as well? Hardware? Love the work you're doing! I've got your standard Aquarius box protectors for my whole game library and they are excellent!

Thank you for the shout out. I think they are the same size Fileform and Logo? If not let me know. I only own Fileform. Sent over a list of equipment accessories always happy to add to the list to be made at some point.

Fileform and finform are the same size.

Logo is thicker and the same size as extended basic.

This 3rd size would cover all the aquarius cart programs. 

Here is a cheap sealed 1 on ebay:

That I am not sure of. I have the larger box which came with a 2 port system and Pacman. 

 

Found this old thread.

Smaller 5200 box question https://forums.atariage.com/topic/292900-smaller-5200-box-question/

According to this YouTube review, the smaller box was circa 1986 to liquidate 5200 console stock.

Some of these will be compatible with other games from these systems or close. I recommend measuring your other games before ordering as there tends to be a ton of variety in these older systems.

just wanted several items, but stopped buying because shipping cost of >100$ is a bit over the top. If several people here from the EU are interested we could maybe combine order and split the shipping costs.

This is my one complaint. The protectors are fantastic and I love the work Starwander is doing providing protection for obscure items, but I really don't understand the shipping costs. I'm even based in mainland US, and the shipping costs were $62 for 20 game protectors (10 Small Aquarius and 10 Medium Aquarius). I tend to ignore the high costs because I really do want to support what he's doing, but I saw the packaging it came in and I really don't see how it's that high.

I am really sorry about this. I am not sure why I didn't catch this when I was shipping your order. I refund excess shipping charges on customers orders and only have them pay exact shipping costs. In this case I mistakenly selected pounds instead of ounces for the Fileform protectors so it was calculating shipping assuming the package weighted 21lbs. I went ahead and refunded the overcharge. Actual shipping was $13.17 for 2lbs and $49.55 was refunded. If this ever happens again let me know, will take care of it ASAP.

Let me know your order number. I will get this resolved ASAP. No one should pay more than the actual shipping costs on the site. EdgeOfPortal pointed out a bug in my site and maybe there is another. Regardless will refund any excess shipping costs ASAP.

Hey Starwander, are you still planning on making box protectors for the ColecoVision Driving Module and Roller Controller boxes?

I haven't been able to find a good quality Roller Controller box yet however do have a Driving Module box purchased finally. They are both still one my list to make.

thanks again.

- Donkey Kong works for Centipede (C64 Cart). bit loose in depth but good enough for me and I'm rather unhappy if box has too much clearance.

- Ducktales also works for Attack of the Petscii Robots (Atari XL afaik all home computer packages uses the same box) - seems to be produced for it 🙂
