Thanks! This is great. So just to be sure, the SJ3 only outputs mono audio?

yup the nes only outputs mono so in order to have sterio you would have to do some reprogramming

i think

awesome info, one question i have, on the controller board of my superjoy 3 is a switch connected to one of the pins, is that the switch yoyu said disabled the roms?

If it's on the controller board it's probably the power switch. It might be something else if it's different from mine. The internal/external games switch is just a separate switch soldered onto two cartridge pins with two wires.

good info tho, but its hard to print and a bit confusing, i have my cartslot made and gettin ready to wire it and making sure i understand helps, its made of 2 34 pin card edge connectors, aka floppy cable. can you ilistrade or elaborate any?

Yea and on the controller thing, I solder DIRECTLY ON the traces, or can I follow them and solder at the pins

For the giude I used a NES connector from a Family Converter. 2 floppy cable connectors will be the same as the NES connector, since the middle pins aren't connected on the NES connector either. Just follow the guide pin for pin, and you should be good. I'm not sure if that answers your question or not.

It is a bit tricky to understand, but I really can't come up with a better way to do it. And for printing you might try printing it landscape style. I myself haven't tried printing it so thats only an idea.

Yes you can do that. I assumed that people might want to chop off the epoxy glop from the rest of the board, that is why I labeled the traces so close to the epoxy glop. If size is not an issue it would be much easier to just keep the whole board intact, and just solder to the gold colored contacts where the buttons would normally connect.

Thanks for the tip, but I meant the control board you show with the glop top traces. Do I solder on traces, or can I follow the traces to the pins they lead to.

Yes, I guess this does deserve to be a sticky.

Sorry, but I'm confused on how to locate pin 1 for the NES side in your guide. I plan on soldering my Game Genie in my portable permanently, and it's pins are already numbered.

Does Game Genie pin 1 goto SJ3 Pin 2? I'm confused cause in your guide it says that pin 1 is on the back side of the NES cartridge. Is the Game Genie pinout diffrent than yours or am i just confusing myself and they are actually numbered the same?

You're the second person to bring that up. When I made the guide I didn't know what pin 1 was on the NES connector or on the Super Joy 3. So I just picked one and called it pin one, hoping that was the right name. I guess I'll have to change it now that I know. All the information is still correct, the pin names are just reversed.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
