I know that, but I've been to two pawnshops and a retro game shop and have yet to find one. I was hoping someone here could help me out.

Anyone know where I can get empty NES/famicom cartridges

As in no board inside, can either be repos or originals that have been gutted. I have sever games with badly maintained cases that I bought second hand and would like to just remove the insides and put them in a new case.

WTB 60 to 72 pin adapter or Realtec Game Genie

Basically I want to be able to plug famicom games into my american game genie. Or failing that, the rarely seen Realtec famicom game genie.

Also would be interested in SNES + NES controller ...

Re: Need advice on SNES repair.

K. Ill probably just low tech it then. The console works as long as i line up all the pins by wiggling the adapter, but the slightest jostle makes it fall out of place. Ill just hot glue it.

Re: Wiring lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries

Mega bump, but I have a question. Don't you need to have a -7.4 charge going to the system as well?

So as long as the battery I bought turns out to be good I'll be ...
