What kind of screw is this, and where can I get a bit? (Not gamebit)

[BetaWolf47]

This is used on EA's Genesis titles. I don't know if it's used anywhere else as I've never seen it before.

If you can't find it, heat a piece of plastic and mold yourself something to unscrew it.

I hate these bits. I usually use a tiny flat-head screwdriver and apply force to one of those indentions in a counter-clockwise manner. I can usually remove the screws this way. If I have any shitty Genesis donor carts, I'll replace the screws with regular Genesis gamebit types.

The heating up a pen cap method never really worked for me. I could only remove one or two screw before tearing it up.

I think I actually have some bits that are like that, but only in large sizes.

Tiny needle nose plyers should work, but they'll mangle the screw a bit. If you don't plan on reusing the screw, though, that's the way to go.

It's called a tri-groove screw. McMaster-Carr carries the driver. (scroll down, second from bottom)

Knowing what it's called should help you find them elsewhere but I doubt your local hardware store will have any.

The pen and lighter trick may be ghetto, but it works. Well, for or a few jobs. Wash, rinse and repeat until you get a proper driver.

I have never been able to get the pen and light trick to work.
