snes cart slot question

Ritalee · Post by **Ritalee** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 2:02 am

i was curious. most of the game slots i seen for the portable snes has the cart sticking out the back.

is the games secure when you play em? or are they loose?

also wouldnt it be best to have a portable snes built to have the game carts slide in the back instead of sticking out the back or bottom?

You can have it either way, because friction holds it in. Put a game cart in any system, and turn the system upside down in the air. Does the cart fall out?

It is best to have supports around the cartridge to prevent the cart from moving and making the game freeze though

the cart slots stick out the back becuase thats how the SNES motherboard is setup, to have it slide down the back requires you to re-locate the cart slot, and that can be time consuming/difficult depending on your soldering skill level.

VERY time consuming! took me around 4 hours

It's well worth it once relocated however.

Does this mean you are not mad at me anymore???

Thank you very much good sir!

Here is my thought on completeing this project once my screen arrives.

Either basic and simple idea of ripping out the cd tray and popping the lcd in there or leaving the lid and letting the lid act as a screen protector when not in use.

OR

When I open the cd lid, the screen will slide out as well and stand at a good angle. When finished, slide the screen back in and the lid will protect the rest. I like this idea better, but not sure if it'll work yet.

Nice! The second one is cool, but personally I would go with the first one. The way you hold a psone when the controls are in the top corners makes the unit perpindicular to your face. So its not really necesscary to have the screen on a pivot, and more moving parts make things more difficult and prone to breaking.

Yeah...I'll just modify the lid so it'll cover the screen when not in use. Cool beans!!! =D

thats how my NESp is laid out, but the case is a playstation. you can just cut the lid right inside of where the metal starts on the screen then put some plastic to protect it
