Viewer Challenge: NES-CADE Jukebox

NES-CADE Jukebox

 

Collecting for classic game consoles is a lot of fun,

but browsing through your collection on a plain shelf can be quite boring.

 

Challenge:

 

Build a Jukebox that can hold 100 NES game carts  and

load them into an NES console inside a stand up arcade machine.

    Another route would be to make a custom pcb with connectors for as many game carts as you want mounted in series to the connector on the motherboard.             Except for the +5 volt pins on each of the connectors they would have a push to open push to close switch connected between pins 30 and 31 of each cartridge sockets to a +5 volt rail from the connector on the mother board then when you want to play a certain game push the button for that game and it only sends +5v to that cartridge and it starts the game when you power on the nes. This way you still have the tactile feel of a jukebox without all the mechanics and wear of the cartridges.

    This is what i am designing in my head right now.  Its going to be way easier than a robotic jukebox.  I plan on making an array of 10.  I plan on pcb building card edge connectors unless someone knows of a ribbon cable with card edge connectors so i dont have to solder 72x10 wires??
