Re: SERIOUS ISSUE - Extending Cart Connector
good rule of thumb is to keep all wires as short as reasonably possible to prevent interference and signal degradation. in my case i keep it short because of the utter lack of room! http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/5282/dsc05213.jpg thats the 80 conductor ribbon cable, works AWESOME, will be using it...

Re: SERIOUS ISSUE - Extending Cart Connector
Okay, so I shortened the same exact wires by about 3 inches, re-soldered to the game and to my surprise it was glitch-free! I'm not in the clear yet though. Just finished re-attaching the cart connector and am currently testing that way. Only about 5 minutes into it so far, keeping my fingers cross...

Re: SERIOUS ISSUE - Extending Cart Connector
8"? Thats very long. For portables mine rarely exceed 3". Yeah, it IS a bit long, but there's not much I can do about it unfortunately. I might be able to get it down around 5" but it'll be difficult. The casing requires that I twist the connector 90 degrees one direction, then 90 degrees another. ...

Re: SERIOUS ISSUE - Extending Cart Connector
Yeah, it's definitely something to do with the wires, but WHAT I have yet to nail down. First I was using about 8" of your standard IDE ribbon cable to do the job and I noticed glitching very early. (Within the first 3 minutes or so). Then I changed the wires to a solid copper speaker wires (not TOO...

SERIOUS ISSUE - Extending Cart Connector
Okay, I'm noticing a trend. So far I've run into the same problem FOUR times now on different occasions, different projects and different consoles. This seems to be a serious issue and something to consider/look into, probably sticky-worthy if we're able to confirm it even. ...Either that or I have ...

Re: desoldering the cartridge connector
Hi. I'm trying to remove the cartridge connector from an SNES mini motherboard, but I'm running into some problems. I removed as much solder as I could from the pins on the bottom of the board using a solder sucker. When I try to remove the connector from the board, the pins are staying connected t...

I've also had a Genesis George forman grill suggested to me. I don't know that I'd do that though. Interestingly enou...

Maybe a toastendo?
Yep, a couple of things. Making a Super Nintoaster (same idea as Nintoaster, but SNES guts instead of NES), and documenting the whole process on video for YouTube. Other than that, I can't say much.

I don't know if this is exactly what you had in mind, but I built something like that a while back using two original NES connectors and a game genie connector. Makes the system work more like a "top-loader" and installs just like the regular replacement connectors. Check it out: http://www.stupidfi...
