you know the aluminum plate that goes behind the N64 mobo? could i use that instead of making my own mount for a cartridge?

it looks like ben made a custom mount for his N64 cartridge on the back of the mobo, and i was about to do this when i noticed that the aluminum already there is predrilled with the mounting holes, so i could buy some screws and nuts (because mine are too big :wink: ) and then simply mount the plate that is meant to be connected to it.

feel free to do this to your own if it'll work

Aw that sucks. I would hate it if my dremel died. Hope you can get it working :)

But yeah your idea should work. I don't think the plate is aluminum though, I think it's steel. Not that it matters.

the worst part of it is that it was my grandpas. my birthdays coming up, so i'm getting a new one fom my parents, although it'll probably end up being a dermel or some other generic one :D
