Play Japanese games on US NES/SNES

[InsaneDavid]

So I have decided that I need to stop being cheap and just go ahead and buy a darn Gyromite with a converter. (Since the $5 one had those silly gamebit screws...)

What would be the best way to go about modifying the Gyromite cart to better fit the converter?

This is my method...





What does it require? A lot of time.

I sell them when I have one on hand but I haven't made one in years. The cost was equal to someone buying a dremel, a hot glue gun, and a bench vise. ($50.00 +/-)

2.) (Thanks to InsaneDavid for this tip) The pin connectors coming off the bottom of the cartridge need to look like this:

NOT like this:

While there may be examples that contradict these criteria in the wild, the above - ESPECIALLY the chip example is the right way to hunt for Gyromites with converter boards.

I still can't believe it took me so long to realize that was a common difference.

Also remember most of the time you should plan on "thinning" the 60 pin Famicom pass-through since stock it's a little thick and you may have issues getting all Famicom cartridges to fit on it.
