New way to Relocate Cart Slot!

[mymixed]

I think I have found a new way for cartridge relocation, someone might have done this but should still be helpful

The working Relocation:

Remove the back port but keep all the pins!

Solder all the cartridge's pins like normal:

Bend down all the pins carefully and solder to them:

This makes a clean relocation! I hope this guide is helpful. I'll get new pictures soon with a better camera. Thanks,

mymixed

P.S. This is my first working relocation.

Edit your first post and change the title there.

 

[mymixed]

Of course, Thanks!

That is not useful at all.

 

[mymixed]

Maybe for someone who is new to soldering cart slots, you Beta, are master!

you sir are a tard.

for those new to soldering it would make things a lot more hassle free, nice & clean pics

just solder to the joints underneath the pins saves space and you dont have to worry about breaking pins. glad to see you got your cart slot working though.

 

[mymixed]

Thanks! I will probably hot glue the pins down to the board so they don't move around and cross in the portable.

You still have the expansion slot on the back of the board. It may be a new way, but I don't see how it's better.

If you're not good, practice. Shortcuts are not a solution.

When i started relocating stuff on my gc mobo i thought this way was easyier, turns out its just stupid, if you desolder well the pins ( in your case, when they are broken just pull them out with pliers while heating) you'll just have to heat your wire with a little solder on it and it will go right in, this works on any board. And your "new way" to relocate - which is nothing new at all, i mean maybe i didn't get the whole picture but i mean anyone could, and surely has already figured it out - is just crappy when there are mor than 2 lines of pins close, i e : dd mobo relocation

And be nice to beta, i think he has done more of this than you

Those pins are super weak, I suggest removing them and just soldering to where they were originally soldered.

 

[mymixed]

They seem strong to me, I'll just hot glue them down to keep them from moving.

Stupid and much more prone to breaking than the regular method.

We'll see. I did this because I didn't want to buy another N64. I'll do it normally on my next N64p.

EDIT: its also quick.

 

[ShockSlayer]

I would say it's even quicker to leave the exp slot on the bottom alone and just solder to the pins on top.

[mymixed]

The exp. is useless for portables, so I used the pins and tried something new. Looking forward to your next N64p.

I don't see the point. Just heat up the holes like normal and shove a piece of single stranded wire in there.(to keep it neat, if you do it with stranded it could turn into a jumbled mess) Simpler than this, FYI.
