>displaying a game boy

What the actual fuck?

>>4104717
dude people get glass display cases like you'd see at a store for their house. so they can make an epic shrine to gaming

>>4104709
what about cigarette cabinet

>>4104730
That sounds simultaneously pretentious and infantile...

Or is this a stealth resellerscum thread?

Here you go.It's wiiu gamepad stand, you'll find one on ali, it fits a lot of portables - PSP, any ds, 3ds, vita, gbc - except GBA, it's too thick to fit properly

>>4104717
I use them a lot so having them on a shelf works best for me. But I don't want them just lying on the shelf on their backs.

>>4104730
An epic shrine to gaming is going too far in my opinion. That's more of a collector thing, and not for someone who wants to use them frequently.

>>4104742
Pretty good idea, especially for how I want quick and easy access to them. But it takes up a little too much space for me at the moment.

>>4104750
That's looks like it might be perfect! The shelves I want to put them on are narrow (it's for cds really) but just about fits two gameboys, so by the looks of it that stand would fit perfectly.

>>4104750
Forgot to ask. Is the "tray" part big enough to fit an original gameboy?

>>4104878
No, definitely not. It kinda catches on a slot between halves of the shell and stands just fine, but it's not perfect

>>4105010
Damn. Thanks for taking the time to check though. Bought one for the gameboy pocket and gameboy colour, so at least they can go on the shelf for now

this has got to be the gayest thing i have ever seen in my life, it's a gameboy it doesn't need a stand.

What the hell is that Link's Awakening cartridge? I've only ever seen gold, and the full-color Japanese cartridge. Is black a PAL thing?

Business card holders. The cheap metal ones, you can find at big department stores in the office supply section? You can bend them a bit and they're perfect for displaying almost anything

>>4106117
I have the same cartridge and I'm PAL.

>>4106117
Yep, it's the PAL one.

>>4106112
A gameboy on a stand takes up less room on my shelf than it does just lying down

>>4106117
There is no PAL gameboy, you idiot.

>>4106117
Yurop. You can tell by the fact that the shown games don't have ESRB ratings, and the Nintendo seal is also circular and says Original Nintendo Seal of Quality, while the US seal at that time just said Official Nintendo Seal and was oval shaped. The Oracle of Ages cart also has EU law compliance logos on it.

>>4104709
What are you doing? You retard. Who are you showing this off to? Your loser friends? Your fat trans dyke boyfriend? Just put it in a drawer.

>>4107426
Spreading your games out on stands is gonna take up more space than stacking them. Don't try to justify this retarded shit. Put your gay shit away in a drawer.

>>4107795
You don't have a few favorite games that are on display somewhere, away from the rest of the collection?

I really like the aesthetic of the cassette covers that got popular a few years back. I've done it to a few of my games

>>4108262
Now that's pretty cool, making spines for your collection while not taking excess amounts of space. Do you have a site for these?

>>4107795
I have a case for the games. The picture was just to show what I bought, and how it is the a size that's perfect for games, but not for gameboys.

>>4108262
This is really cool, and would work really nicely on the shelves I have.

Making the inserts is super easy as well.

>>4108262
Honestly, cases like this for GB/GBC/GBA and DS are a fucking waste of space.

Use a binder. It makes cataloging them just as easy, and it's like 20x more space efficient.

>>4108917
Anyone who is buying those is doing it for the aesthetics and not for the practicality

>>4108917
So do you also have all your disc games in a CD Binder? Anything more is a waste of space, after all.

I have a original clear case for my DMG that has slots for games too. It's pretty sweet and would recommend looking it up. Only about 20 bucks for a nice clean display

>>4108917
It also makes finding and picking out a game much more unpractical and slower, aesthetics aside.

>>4109078
Explain further.

>>4108946
original carts are a waste of space, might as well get an everdrive.

How? If you have them in alphabetical order, with the name clearly visible on the spine then it's easy and quick to find a game.
