    Yeah I always liked that idea too. I've considered storing boxes, carts and manuals separately and that's the way I'd probably go for manuals
  • One of the main reasons I went with "custom game cases" instead.
  • I might just have to go with a binder, any recomendations?
  • The Custom Game Cases from Shadowfox are definitely a huge improvement over the UGCs, but they aren't available for all game systems. For something like Jaguar, I decided to keep all of my manuals in their own UGC (2 actually due to the number of manuals). A friend made a custom cover just for my manuals and it works great. The Jaguar manuals are definitely too thick to fit in a UGC with a Jag cart (which is already pretty thick to begin with).
  • I am looking at the custom game cases now too. They seem like a great alternative to the UGCs

    I put my manuals in a 3 ring binder with the protective sleeves. And have tabs alphabetically. Its a clean look and it solves that problem. I know the unlicensed tengen carts have big manuals as well.

    This is a world I would love to live in.



    What kind of "protective sleeve"? I've kept an eye out... but never really researched it.

    You can get photo album pages sized for 8.5x11 binders. 



    They sell them at Office Depot.

    Save states on my ED is literally the only way I can even get through some NES games. I am not the greatest gamer but just want to progress in a game rather than start over and over. ugh

    Getting off topic, but using save states wasn't the issue.  Like you, I need save states or other cheats to get through many games, but I don't go around saying that the games I used save states with were easy, or that I'm really good at those games.
