Re: 64 BOY wip *UPDATE 01/23/10*
Will putting the cartridge in backwards fry the system? I don't have pretty much any room on the case to put something in the slot to keep people from putting it in backwards. I want to make it idiot proof in case someone accidentally puts it in backwards. So would putting the cartridge in backwards fry the system? I've been looking at a pinout for the cartridge and it appears that even backwards the 7.4 volt and 3.3 volt lines on the cartridge won't change even backwards.

According to this post, no...

But I have definitely read a post where it destroyed the cartridge (not sure about the system) but I couldn't find it. My best guess is that the system would be fine. I'm not volunteering to test this theory however

LOL.
I've ruined a game and a system doing this, so yes, fryage is easy.

"It shouldn't hurt the N64 if you plug the cartridge in the wrong way, it just wont start the game."
Shouldn't implies that this person hasn't tested this for sure.
Also, on that note: I saw how he relocated the cart slot. It's cute, but it fails for a couple reasons:
1. Now instead of broken wires, you can have dirty connections, and in an n64p that is a high possibility.
2. You have to buy/have/make the right size cable otherwise you are limited in length, aka more work. It could easily be too long or too short.
3. If you know how to solder, then you don't have any problems in the first place.

I really don't feel like risking it. I'm going to take advantage of the tabs in the back of the cartridge and put plastic there so that it won't be put in backwards. I didn't want to do this earlier because then it won't be compatible with japanese games. When I was selling the starlight 64 I had someone ask if it played japanese games so there are some people interested. But I suppose that I could easily build a simple adapter if it came to that. Or they could use a gameshark region adapter if they wanted to play them that badly. *puts in gameshark, game, and rumble pak*
Dang son, that's 15 inches. Oh well.
