Hope it works fine for you. If it doesn't post pics so we can trouble shoot

Also, if you break it I have plenty of extra n64s

SO...
If i were to remove the expansion slot and solder wires from the mobo directly to the cart holder, it wouldnt work? because i have already done this and hot glued the crap out of it to hold it in place...

So, It's not necessary to remove the Ext. Port? I can just solder the wires from the cart slot right onto the Ext. Port traces?

you can even just use some solid 20 awg or 22 awg copper wire and just insert them into the slots where the pins normally go

.....that's what I always do

.......you can only do that if the ext. port's not desoldered, though....

The easiest solution that I have found when moving the cartridge slot, is to leave the slot where it is, insert the contact portion of a broken(or crappy) game, solder IDE cable to back, and attach a homemade or adapted slot. Sounds like a lot, but takes about 20 minutes, rather than 3 hours.
