what does shorted mean?

Whoa how you connect to the radica using the sonic and knuckles cart?

lol, fo sho.

Just thought of an idea. Have anyone seen Pimp my Ride on MTV?? Basiccally a show about finding people with really bad looking cars and making their dreams come true by remodeling it and "pimping it". Ben should have his own show called Pimp My Console. Any you guys wana support this show?

also there is a third GND from the cart slot and there are only two GND from the rom traces. What do you do with this extra GND??

I spent 3 hours soldering the cart onto the Radica and I turned it on and there was a black screen. I looked at segasonic's cart connection picture and saw a black wire coming NOT from the place where the rom chip was. What is this for??

Hmm, i don't know what that is, but thanks anyways. I just discovered that using a desoldering pump to get most of the solder out and using tiny tweezers to remove the trace works perfect.

Has anybody actually successfully remove the cart from the game genie, I'm doing that now and it's hard cause there is a little bit of solder left between the contract and leads that the soldering pump can't take out.

there was three GND from the rear side of the cart slot and only two from the chip according to the pinout. What do you do with this extra GND??

however, there is a little brown string that attaches to the white film to one of the trace, anybody know what this is?

I take that back, the chip is NOT GLUED onto the board, i just needed to cut more from the traces. Just below the chip is a white film.

I did segasonic's fan method and was wondering how he removed the chip after he made the two cuts. The chip is GLUED onto the board. I did a search and it seems some ppl don't bother to remove it, some ppl removed it by prying it and some ppl dont even have to pry it to remove it.

this is how i am wiring the tact buttons...

Yea, same here, they thought i was weird for just asking for sheets of plastic. A 12"by 12" was 18 dollars!!

I see. Well, my attempt fail even after i sand down the paint to reveal the metal. I hook up my tact button to the gloptop board and soldered the colored wires that came oringinally from the gloptop board to the radica. I turned on the radica and i had visual and audio but the tact button failed ...
