Anyone know where I can buy one of those tools for taking apart a genesis or super nes cart?

Ah yes, the Gamebit screwdriver tools are what you're looking for, right?

You can find them on eBay from time to time... ^_~

I don't know off the top of my head but you could probably just type game boy screwdriver into eBay and it'd tell you.

The Tri-Wing Gamebit screwdriver is what's needed to open up them GBA carts and/or the GBA/GBA SP/GBA Micro handheld gaming devices (for modding purposes).....

SNES carts are gamebit screws... the cheap way to do it is to grab a bic pen, pull out the cartridge, hold it over a flame for a moment then stab it onto the screw. The problem is that some pens are too soft and will need to be re-melted after a few screws.

MCM Electronics (http://www.mcmelectronics.com/) sells the gamebits. They're pretty cheap, but watch out, they'll gouge you on the shipping.
