~Good way to Display Loose N64 Carts?
Re: ~Good way to Display Loose N64 Carts?
That was just a quick paint sketch of the idea. I was envisioning it having a lip of some sort at the edge of each stair to keep cartridges from falling off.

Re: ~Good way to Display Loose N64 Carts?
I used a nailgun to mount planks of door trim (used them cause they have a small lip on the back that keeps the cartridges from falling off) to the wall in my room and stored the N64 cartridges face out on them, kind of like the display shelves in game stores. Ended up taking them down because of room rearrangement, but I plan to eventually build something similar mounted on a flat piece of wood so I can move it around...kind of like what GamerMON got from that salon.
Only issue with that is it can take up a lot of space if you have very many games and it is dust-prone. Could build the same thing with a glass door or something if you wanted, though.

Re: ~Good way to Display Loose N64 Carts?
When I was a kid, one of my friends had something like this, but it was fitted for a corner:
If I recall correctly, his dad built the frame out of wood instead of aluminum and spray-painted it black. It had cross beams that the games sat on, that had about an inch lip on both sides to hold the games in place and held three games beside each other (so each frame wasn't as wide as the posters, for example). It maybe took up a square foot and a half in his room and had like six frames that each held twelve games each (3 games wide, 4 games high - 72 games total). Each frame was about three feet tall, so it's conceivable that you could do something similar, but just taller to increase the amount of games that you could store.
Just something I thought of right now. Use sliding door tracks and frames like what my friend's dad did for him and slide out the frames to look through them instead of flipping through the frames. It would be like a series of sliding doors, so it would keep things neat when they're all pushed in. The whole structure would look something like this (numbers assuming you use the same size frames as my friend's was.
The games won't be visible, but they would have pretty decent protection from dust and you might be able to incorporate it as part of a shelving system. Not to mention it would keep the appearance of things as pretty neat and orderly, even if the games aren't in any specific order.
