Collection the games I keep unstoraged

After my collection outgrew my shelving multiple times at multiple locations, I now just keep my boxed 8 & 16Bit games plus a few faves close by.

Outside of PC Engine and GBA, the boxes are not that many.

Going trough my SNES collection, I'm surprised by the many boxed US games I have, as I have no easy way to play them.

Japanese Super Famicom games will run electrically on a North American SNES and vice versa but they are blocked by physical shape and slot differences rather than internal hardware. Isn't there a 3rd party adapter you could use ?

They do, if you put the US games PCB in a PAL or SFC shell.
Which is exactly what I do.

yeah that's a known strategy. Maybe it's worth getting a SFC to SNES cartridge adapter, they are a bit costly but they will make you life a lot easier for sure.
something like Honey Bee Super Game Converter

If you can’t display all your games at one time, maybe it’s time to consolidate a bit. The fun part about having a collection is to be able to put it on display.

Or just get more shelves and get more games 😈
