Hey, sup?
Sorry Kurt_ but I just don't. This stick is like a thread for information and to be publicly updated from people. That's why this thread is not locked.Kurt_ wrote:Please don't post in the stickies unless you hav information to add to it.

easiest method
friend (usbcd) showed me post and we came up with a new idea, first remove a screw with bute force (from a crappy game of something) then go to a hardware store and find a torx screw ( they are inverted torx screws duh) that the gamebit srew fits into, wallah your new gamebit bit, you can get them in many sizes, just round of the ends so it is narrow enough to fit in the hole and there you go, you can also mount it into an old rod or something, dust drill a small hole in the rod, srew the torx screw into the rod, weld/solder it there, and you have a gamebit screwdriver

The Cure (for inverted hex only)
This trick works perfectly every time! You'll need a 1/4" drive, 4mm
deep 6pt. socket (mine's a Craftsman), and a 3/16" flat screwdriver. Simply insert screwdriver into end of socket where wrench would normally go, and remove screws! On my N64, I did have to remove a little material from 1 screwhole (the inboard 1, by the A/V plug). Good Luck! [/img]

gba screws

Re: gba screws
I use a small flat head screwdriver that takes up one of the prongs, and then I push it into the screw firmly as I turn to keep it in its prong.johnbjuice wrote:anyone know how to remove the TINY tri-prong gba/gba sp screws? ive tried everything - dremel, melted pen, hammer...
