Re: N64 cart slot relocation timelapse
Why did you solder RIGHT OVER THE BOARD when you didn't have to?

Oh. Right.
I'll pay you $40/h to relocate my cart slot if it only takes 45 minutes. $30? Yeah? Yeah?

whoa..
What kind of wires were you using there?

I haven't been here in awhile, and looking back it's one of the worst ideas I ever had. I'm back and I'll be here for awhile, I was quite active 1 year ago and I hope to become that again.

Pretty sure he used computer IDE/ribbon cable. That's what mine looks like.

Re: N64 cart slot relocation timelapse
Well that's just freakin' sweet. Love the rockin' music. Not looking forward to cartridge slot relocation for my portable. Maybe I'll watch this again before I attempt it for motivation, lol.
There is no black or white but rather a million shades of gray...

Re: N64 cart slot relocation timelapse
Haha. I can do it in 15 minutes, but then again I don't plug in my hot glue gun and shoot glue all over my case every 5 minutes.
Plus, if you did it that fast you wouldn't make as much doing it by the hour.

Re: N64 cart slot relocation timelapse
So you can seriously solder 4.6 connections per second?
Did you see any glue? I don't need any.
I wasn't going for speed either.

Actually, thinking about it, it'd be about 17 - 20 seconds per joint, right?
Of course, that's for half the job... Soldering all those to the connector, and to the N64, well, roughly 8 - 10 seconds per joint, yeah?
Seems entirely doable if nothing decides to create problems for you

48 pins + 48 contacts + 96 wire ends(tinning) = 192 connections
15 minutes * 60 seconds = 900 seconds in 15 minutes
900 seconds / 192 connections = 4.6875 connections per second
4.6875 connections per second = marshallh's claims = inhuman

Your math is correct, except for your label.ShockSlayer wrote: Formula for relocated cart slot in 15 minutes:

900 seconds / 192 connections = 4.6875 seconds per connection (not connections per second)
It sounds insanely fast, but half the connections are merely tinning, which, as your time-lapse video showed, goes pretty quickly, leaving you more time for making the actual connections.
The 'rocking music' is from F-Zero X (N64). Played that game to death. Great video, by the way. You're crazy.
