    By the way, the yellowing should be reversible...but I wouldn't bother. There's not really any evidence that it's hurting the strength of the plastic, and if that's a serious concern then you ought to take a step back and treat your games more carefully.
    I'm not putting anything in danger because I simply unscrewed the back of another Super Famicom cart with a clean grey back and put it on my Wild Guns cart. Now the thing is mint instead of pee yellow. You would have to be the biggest clutz in the world to damage anything while opening up a Super Famicom cart. I will soon be opening all my games up anyways to clean them. I don't mind if the back piece is not the "original" one that came with it because the part, part number and even the warning sticker are identical with the one I replaced it with. Untraceable because it's an original Nintendo part. Like replacing broken sanwa buttons in an arcade cab with new sanwa buttons of the exact type or a cracked long box PS1 jewel case with one which isn't cracked. When they were mass produced random backs were selected anyway, it's not like its the front piece with the original sticker or anything. I would never take the label sticker off and place it on another cart if that's what you're thinking. I'd like to add that the doner game was a horrid game that nobody in their right mind would play anyway.

    I treat my games nice which is why I'm doing this in the first place. Like I said earlier, when I bought it the top was yellow and I didn't notice it at the time. Plus, the games don't turn yellow from being mistreated, they just get scratched up. The yellowing is a chemical reaction which is why certain parts get yellow while others don't even when they have been in the same environment. Like how the front of my cart was mint but the back was horrid. As for the strength of the plastic, that's not why I said that Super Faicom plastics suck. They suck because they are so unpredictable in the colors they change, even more so than Super Nintendo plastics since they are a much lighter shade of grey to begin with.
