Hey, if it makes you happy, keep 'em on the shelf- that's what I do with mine. I've still got all my SNES carts and my old SNES, I just never use them since I have the MiSTer. I don't see any reason to keep them around except for the pull of "hey these are my childhood games". I guess I just like having them around. Here's a pic of my old SNES carts, my childhood SNES (which was only ever used with the SD2SNES before I got the MiSTer) and my second MiSTer (for CRT s-video output). There are like 5 things in this image capable of playing SNES games, including a literal SNES and carts, and I choose the MiSTer every time. It is seriously that good. My progression was something like this:

1. I will play on my old SNES the real carts that I own
2. Hm- I should look into repro carts and multi carts for rare games I don't own
3. Oh, I will get an everdrive for all the games.
4. I will get a SuperNT to play on my HDTV, it can also play all the games with a jailbreak. I wish I could sync saves to my Vita and 3ds though. (Note: you are here)
5. I will try this MiSTer thing to play on my hdtv
6. Holy shit, I need a second MiSTer for my CRT
7. I haven't touched my SNES since getting the CRT MiSTer except to autistically flip between s-video inputs to try and spot a difference and press buttons to watch mario jump to see if I can perceive any lag on the MiSTer compared to the real thing. There is no lag
