Yeah My N64P died the day I finished it :P Did you know I have a scond one that I finished? I took it down since the DC-DC converter went out, but other than that it still works.

I think that cable would work, didnt get to lok at it a lot though.

I soldered it with ribbon cable. That plug-in-the-connector-to-the-cable stuff is CHEATING! :P

Why has this become un-stickied? Also, I agree, it is cheating to use a ribbon cable to move the cartridge slot, break out your soldering iron and fight like a man!
