Does any one know what the longest length of cable I could use to extend between the nes board and the cart slot? I would like to extend at least five feet.
Thank you for your help
Max length for slot

Five feet!? That's a bit overkill lol.
I don't think you can extend the slot much more than a few inches at most...beyond that and you start getting lag.

Re: Max length for slot
Most I've ever had to work on both the SNES and N64 was 7 inches maximum. The same principle should apply to the NES.
Re: Max length for slot
So 7 in is the longest you tried or the longest you could get to work?
Is there a way I "boost" the signals so I could use a longer cable?
Thank you for your guy's help! This will save me time and money!

It was the longest that would work.

OK this a noob question.
Do you think I could get a longer span if I used "better" cable or a board instead of cable?
Thank you!
