Post by JJG »

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.

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.
