Question about the Familyboy NOAC

As seen here: http://www.nesplayer.com/pirates/familyboy.htm

As it seems to me the built in games are actually nothing more then a pirated Famicom cart wired in a almost parallel circuit to the built in cart reader. Would i be wrong in assuming i could simply cut the board off after the cart reader and desolder the built-in games so now i have a smaller board and if i want i could pop the pirated famicom cart into the slot for the built-in if i ever want to play any of them?

PS If it requires a little more involved procedure then that please explain it.

Why disable it? When you plug in a cartridge, it'll disable the chip anyways, and you may one day get REALLY bored and decide to play some crappy hack of Donkey Kong!

Anyways, you can probably disable the chip the same way as a Super or Power Joy, and that's by connecting pins 1 and 60 on the cart slot. See the "making of" story for Ben's NOAC NES portable to see how it's done.

Well since its a pirate famicom cart i could plug it in to the cart reader any time i want, but ripping it off would take away roughly 1/2 of its size.

Actually i just tried it, it required me to take some thin insulated coil wire and patch 5 taces, brushed up on my soldering skill though.
