to be fair, if you work with adaptors, you could just take the biggest slot, give the pins that everyone needs to all of the 3 systems, the rest the adaptor takes care of. As for only powering one system at a time, use a switch for ground.
So yeah, if you're going to use adaptors you could get away with using just one slot.

That method doesn't solve anything. The whole point of using one cart slot is to reduce the thickness of the portable. I solved this byt having the dam SNES cart stick out the back. Not the most elegant solution but it works.bacteria wrote:I referred to "using the principles of my previous work" as you may recall.lovablechevy wrote:been there, tried that, didn't work.
i even accidentally erased my game saves on a game in my attempt.
that's why there is no info of my attempt here on the site. why post something that was a complete fail?
rekarp had a look into doing it. he said it is pretty much not possible. and with him being an EE, i think i'll take his word. not to mention I ALREADY TRIED IT (with rekarps help, mind you).
It is entirely possible to manage to make it work; you just need to think out of the box.
You need to make an adapter by wasting a SNES and a NES cart slot and a SNES and NES cart for the pin contact boards. Relocate the contacts from the SNES cart slot and NES cart slot so they are sat on top of each other (after reducing their sizes); then you plug in an adapter you made, which connects into one or the other depending on the system you wish to play, then the game cart into it.
Issue is thickness, and finished length of assembly which I will need to ascertain if practical.
Quite feasible, but will take a while to make.
Concept: (eg SNES on top, NES on bottom), two adapters needed:
