Due to my luck of bumping into a $9.99 NOAC which thankfully prefers batteries, and hopefulness to get a cart slot and a PSOne screen...

I'm finally building a portable! Jeff's NESp, coming god knows when.

Come to think of it...I have 6 to many NES's....how hard is it to take a cart slot out?

Don't waste your time with frontloading NES's they have this angled slot.

Anyway, don't use NES cart slots for by now they've gone from oxidation, bad cart slots. Get a game genie or some plain 72 pin card connector from newark, ebay or something.

actually, i found out that an ISA card slot from an old PC with the small end cut off fits an nes cart perfectly.

actually, it's pitch would be 1mm off, so it *might* cause problems with some games, probably wouldn't though.

I'm trying to finish my first portable before Thanksgiving.

Any chance at a cart slot gan?

Well, you could just buy a family converter from me and take the slot off of it

I should contact the place where I get them from and see if I could buy just the cart slots

Alright man, go for it. You already have the hip gear screen, so you should make it in a GBO case. But if you wanna use that PSone screen, that works too. Got a special design in mind?

Family Converter connectors are great. They NEVER freeze up the game. Nice and tight connection. Oh yeah...so tight....
Too bad I bought mine at lik-Sang before gannon started selling them. I could have saved a bit of moolah.

I wanna go PSOne, and wanna have a massive case (not MASSIVE, but larger then some of your NESp's). Doesn't have to be small, I want the most comfortable experience, and to have people going "How'd you do that?" at school.

Anyway, how would you make the cart slot out of the famiconverter? I never read the instructions here, so I'm a total n00b
