    Default How do you open a Game Gear cart?

    How can these be opened up? Removing the security screw seems to do nothing. I ran a few searces on Google and this site and nothing came up (maybe because I suck at searching, I don't know). I'm hoping that this is a simple enough question with a simple enough answer. Any help is appreciated.

    There are small clips on the sides of the cart. Take a small screwdriver, put it in the cart and push the side of the bottom piece outwards.

    It's been a while for me. Try sliding them apart, sliding the back part up or down.

    Did you snag that Microplay GG Mr. Smashy?

    To davidleeroth: Thanks for the info. It worked like a charm.

    To omnedon: I sure did get it at Microplay. The screen could use a little work, but that's about it, I think. Thanks for the lead. It's a pretty awesome little system.

    Now you need a master gear Converter, to turn that little guy into a portable SMS too. More games from your collection on the same unit.

    I'm all for that. I wouldn't mind a TV tuner either.
