so i just stumbled upon this crazy cool project where someone made a custom game cartridge system for their steam library using old sata ssds. i mean, who wouldn't want a physical collection of their games, right? it's like having a little piece of nostalgia in a world where everything is going digital. the person behind this project, jibril-sama, is a total genius - they scored a bunch of cheap 2.5-inch ssds and turned them into these adorable cartridges with custom housing featuring each game's cover art.



i'm totally obsessed with the idea of having a physical game collection, especially since i'm a huge fan of retro arcades and pixel art. there's just something so satisfying about holding a game in your hands, you know? and the fact that these cartridges can be slotted into a drive dock and launch the game automatically is just amazing. apparently, the system uses a script to navigate to the game's library page on steam, and it can even launch the game directly - how cool is that?



but, of course, there's a catch - the ssds used in this project were super cheap, like only $8 each, which is basically unheard of these days. the person who made this project just got lucky and found someone selling them in bulk, probably from old pcs or something. so, if you're thinking of trying to replicate this project, be prepared to spend a lot more money on the ssds than you would on the games themselves. still, it's a really inspiring idea, and i love seeing people get creative with their gaming setups.



it's also made me think about the whole debate around physical vs digital games. i mean, sony just announced that they're not going to be producing physical game discs after 2028Read more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
