uh-oh So I started the hidden game genie mod..I took one of my 72pin connectors I had lying around and went to work. First thing I noticed is that when you snip the back of the connectors they become fairly loose. I suppose it's sort of hard to describe for myself (i'm no wordsmith). Anyways. The main problem here is creating a clean snip that hasn't put too much force on the entire piece. I was using an exacto knife, which proved useless,so i upgraded to scissors (no wire snips around) which was less useless, but useless enough to ruin it all. I need to find some more 72pin connectors and I will wait until I have a better cutting device. No luck thus far.

No luck thus far. Another problem you'll notice is that once you get the back pins snipped, there's no good way to get the inner ones... I've just about abandoned this mod.

Yeah, I didn't even want to think about the inner ones, but I did realize that would be fun times. It certainly would be a lot of work for minimal return..maybe someday

It is a great idea, but honestly, it's not worth the effort, burned fingers, or ruined connectors that it's going to take to get it done.

i know this might make me look stupid but i have no idea what those are and if they would benifit me. I think I know what the overclock does (makes it run faster, smoother, all round better) and the lockout lets you play unliscensed games right?.... not much of interest for NES for me. i mean how much better can an 8-bit system run?
