I spent 3 hours soldering the cart onto the Radica and I turned it on and there was a black screen. I looked at segasonic's cart connection picture and saw a black wire coming NOT from the place where the rom chip was. What is this for??

Small tip:

With no cartridge connected, go pin to pin and check for shorts. I had pin 11(D15 -D6) on the cartridge connector shorted.

on the cartridge connector, the ground pins 1, 15 and 32 should be shorted also vcc pins 2 and 31 should be shorted.

what does shorted mean?

It means when two points are touching eachother, usually by faulty wire/solder job.
