+atari2600land Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Tweezers don't help. I want to open a Game Gear cartridge so I can put my Everdrive in it but I can't get it open. What do I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatPix Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Apparently, a Gamebit screwdriver and brute force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I guess my next question is WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT SO F*^&^ING HARD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Manufacturing costs The sliding system used by Nintendo require more move by machinery assembly, therefore it's more expensive. Pushing two halves together until they snap : cheaper. As simple as that. And they were never designed to be opened.

+atari2600land Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Why are all the 3.8 mm screws designed to open them all in China? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 the Gamebits tips? I can only guess that some company designed those for video game companies, so noone but Chinese manufacturer cars about making them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotwo Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 If you're only going to use it once (for a cartridge) then maybe you could try the pen approach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
