Solder wires from each pin to the board.

Well there are two sets of holes, like this;
(rough diargam of cartridge area on N64 "Mother" board)

-------------------------------------------
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A1

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooA2
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooA2

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A1
-------------------------------------------

Which set do I solder the wires into. From bens pic it's hard to tell, A1 set or A2 set.

It'll work even if you don't take the expansion port off.

But then you don't have holes at A1 to stick your wires in, so you would use rows A2.

I never desolder the exp. port. I just break it off and solder to the points. A lot easier
