Shawn Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hey All, Is there any binders or cartridge holders designed for the 5200? I have never seen one or heard f one before nad now I need one (or two). Anyone got any suggestions. I really prefer cases\binders designed for the carts in question but alternative storage method suggestions would be apprciated also as I like to keep my video game centre nice and proper and I asume many of you do also. Thanks For The Help, Shawn Sr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've seen 8-track holders recommended before. I doubt there's a really good way to store 5200 carts due to teh lack of an end label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaxda Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I use a CD shelf laid sideways. I'd asked a similar question about how to store 5200 carts some time ago, and someone mentioned CD cases. It works pretty well and matches my game room coffee table (both unfinished wood--I have some work to do). I also just found a weird shelf at the goodwill and it's perfectly sized for 5200 games. I am thinking of making this some sort of showcase shelf, or just using it to store doubles, etc. I've seen 8-track holders recommended before.

Cobra Kai Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 collecting complete carts is the way to go. I just use bookshelfs for all of my game storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Speaking of end labels, I just had to make them for the 5200. With the way I store my games, it just looked better. (I while back I had made the thread about if they did the 5200 labels like the '2600 Red Label' variation. So I patterned it after them: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I don't think there were ever any cartridge holders made for 5200 carts. Other than the obvious ones shown above, all I've found is a pair of tape holder racks that I found back in the mid '90s, and those common gray "buckets" that were made for NES games. Those also hold CDs quite well in pairs, so I've got seven of them I can see from where I'm sitting now that are holding PS1 and Dreamcast games.

If that's ok let me know and I'll give the template. Bob Edited February 19, 2006 by PacManPlus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory DG Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Speaking of end labels, I just had to make them for the 5200.1020750[/snapback] What's the bug that was fixed in the "Pac-Man (Bug Fixed)" version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalton4life Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I use these wooden crates I bought from Wal-mart for my 5200 and Jaguar carts. It's easy to flip to games with them. I've been meaning to paint them white to match the bookcase but I haven't gottem around to it. It may look a little cluttered, but it's in a corner nook that you can't see until get close.

PacManPlus Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) Speaking of end labels, I just had to make them for the 5200.1020750[/snapback] What's the bug that was fixed in the "Pac-Man (Bug Fixed)" version? 1021124[/snapback] Actually I fixed 3 bugs in that game: 1) The flashing of the monsters (when they turn back from being blue) to match the arcade - check out the '1st Apple' level to see what I mean. In the original 5200 version, they only flash once. 2) The speed increase happens on the board *after* it was supposed to. For example again the 1st apple board. On the original 5200 version if you *start* on the 1st apple, the speed in fast (correct). If you work up to the apple, the speed doesn't change from the peach until the 2nd apple. 3) The 'no blue' boards. On the boards where the monsters aren't supposed to turn blue at all, they stay blue forever on the 5200 version. I have fixed this. I learned all of this while working on the 'Plus' and 'Hangly-Man' versions. The 'Speed Increase' bug had me going crazy for a few days as I though it was something I did while I was modifying it for Hangly-Man. Then I finally said "let me try the original one" and it was there too. Bob Edited February 20, 2006 by PacManPlus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHarrisMaine Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 You know what works pretty well, and is pretty low cost too? The little boxes that clementines come in. Two fit across just perfectly. And you're recycling and at the same time, debunking the mythical picture of the overweight gamer munching on cheetos and mountain dew all the time. You can say, look, I actually have eaten fruit before!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I've got these neat slideout plastic drawer things that fit many of the classic systems. They came in two and three drawer units, I've got 5200, Jag, Genesis, CV, INTV, etc stored in them. They have little tags that you can label and put up under the clear handle for every drawer. Unfortunately IKEA doesn't make them anymore and I've never been able to find anything quite as perfect as they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
