N64 cart slot relocation timelapse

I stripped them all apart!

Which takes longer and looks messy.

But is easier to keep organized(imo), and to move and twist the way I need it.

I would think the opposite. An undiscombobulated (I said it) ribbon cable would ultimately be more sturdy, safer, and neater. If it's "more flexible", that just means you have off-length wires.

[ShockSlayer]

Perhaps.

Anyways, should I do another one?

No really, I enjoyed it, and I'm sure others did as well. If you like doing it and it kills some time, go for it. We'll watch them and make more hot glue jokes.

But it's a helluva lot harder to solder. Especially redoing contacts after copulate it up the first time

It's not hard at all. You just line up all of the wires with the pins. I noted 2.54mm-pitch cable, which is the same exact pitch the the N64 cart slot has.

maybe you just have skillz. That pic looked exactly like the stuff I have, and I tried doing it all together and it wouldn't work. I had to make groups of 5 or 6 before I had relative ease doing it.

Actually, I remember why I didn't do it: The spacing of the wires between each other(in the wire you mentioned, the one I split up) is too small, compared to the spacing between the pins of the n64.

Why aren't you guys reading what I'm posting?

DAMMIT!

I couldn't tell by the picture, I must be using smaller wire then. It looked the same to me.

Watched most of the first video and half of the last one. You could have condensed the whole thing into about 3 interesting minutes! Interesting to see your workshop-in-a-shed!
