I think it would be easier using a perfboard, because you have a huge clump of solder to attach a wire to as opposed to a tiny spead out one.

Perf boards you can get at radio shack. The two extra? If you mean the ones in the green yes you ignor those they're not going to be used by the cart.

yeah, those 2 extra holes were only used for the exp. port.

Is it a full out thing for you to remove the EXT port, and put the Wires in the green part of the picture?
or can i just do what i was gona do earlier. you know Solder a wire to a pin and solder the other end of the wire to the corresponding HOLE.

I'm not sure if the holes are directly connected to the leads or not.

Why would you buy the game in the first place. Unless you didn't look into it or didn't play the demo. It's still a rip off. You can buy a working n64 for like $20

When I relocated my cartridge slot I just soldered 22 gauge wires to the pins on the cartridge port (using soldering flux, which in my opinion really helps) and then I stuck the other ends of the wires into the holes on the N64 board. I put hot glue on them to make sure they wouldn't get pulled out and it worked fine.
