Cart Info Request: Sega Carts
Seymor Onion:
I have a ton of Master System Games and Manuals.
They are all the same size and shape, as are their Manuals.
I can post a picture of a Cart and Manual, and give it's dimensions, if necessary, but that'll have to wait till tomorrow. All of my Master System stuff is at another location.
Am I correct in assuming that all Master System Carts are the same Size/Shape,
and all Master System Cart Manuals are the same Height and Width?
Were there any variations made to them for markets outside of the US?
How about the Homebrewer angle? Anything I need to know about that?
I currently own Seven Genesis Cart Variants:
Game Name Cart Size Manual Size
Micro Machines 100 x 75 95 x 165
Sonic The Hedgehog 108 x 69
Combat Cars 96 x 88
Tony La Russa Baseball 96 x 88
Sonic & Knuckles ~Special~
Virtua Racing 108 x 107
Genesis Game Genie 108 x 100
Sega 32 X Carts
Are all of the Manuals and Carts for 32X The same size and shape?
Sega Saturn Carts
--Coming Soon--
They're with my Sega Master System Carts.
TyrannicalFascist:
2 official carts you might want to double check (I don't have them so I don't know) are the Sega CD Backup RAM cart, and the Sega Saturn Backup RAM cart.
Arseen:
Sega CD back up-cart is exact same size as standart Genesis cart.

I own all but 2 USA Master System games, and I've at least seen those 2, and all carts are the same size. As for manuals, there isn't any real consistency, but they are all close enough that if you base your size on one, it will fit them all (as we are talking millimeters). The biggest variant is the Sega Card games, like Ghost House, My Hero, Teddy Boy, etc. The existing Sega Card game cases will only hold a card in place if it's in its original plastic sleeve. If there's no sleeve, the Sega Card won't snap into place. Most copies of Sega Card games I've seen, the plastic sleeve is long gone. So you would need to decide if you want to design around the sleeve being there or not. I have a few EUR titles and they have identical dimensions, carts and manuals both. Though, JAP games are entirely different, and even have a different pinout on the cartridges themselves. Unfortunately, I don't have any to provide dimensions.

Same slight manual variations as mentioned for the Sega Master System, and I have all but 2 US carts, but have again at least seen those, and they are all identical in size.
