Custom Cartridge Top Labels (Super Famicom, SMS, N64, etc.)
Posted: October 1st, 2014, 12:20 pm
So with the recent addition of IPS patching to the Retron5, my collection of Super Famicom carts has shot up to nearly 30 carts. Trying to keep these carts organized has been a bit of a hassle because you cannot stack/arrange the carts in any way the shows the game's title.
My solution: labels to put on the cartridge tops. Now I can nicely arrange my carts in a drawer without having to pull them up one at a time to see their titles. These labels fit right between the two little grooves on the top of the Super Famicom cart. A good portion of these were simple cut and paste jobs, but some of them required a lot of touching up in PhotoShop to get right.

I've done something similar with my Nintendo 64 cartridges (inspired by this Reddit thread), and plan to also put something together for Master System carts. The Nintendo 64 labels are on another computer, but I'll try to link to it when I get a chance.
Has anyone done anything similar to keep their cartridges better organized? Feel free to print out my labels and use them yourself!
