I've got a few more of these mods I want to show you all so here is another one I did a while back. I modified the 72 pin connector to point straight up and moved the front parts to the back. It works well. What do you think?

Pretty cool, better than I could do, can this use a GAME GENIE? Any chance on more detailed pics inside, without cover or details on how one might do this?

why move everything to the back? does it work better that way moving the guts around like that or is it more of a "because i can" factor? i'd rather hide the cables in the back.

also, will a game genie fit through? the redesigned NES was a tight squeeze.

Hey, you may not have noticed when you were cutting and soldering, but I think you did it backwards.

I did some research and found that the GAME GENIE doesn't work without modification in the official NES Toploader which is probably why you and bomberpunk are asking. The GAME GENIE will work in mine as it is an original Nintendo.

I just cut and bent the original 72 pin connector up. If you want more details on exactly how to do it let me know. It will take a bit more explaining. I also had to extend the controller wires because they were not long enough to get to the other side. I took some topless pics like you requested (you pervert).

Thanks so much for the reply and extra pictures!

At this point I have yet to acquire and original NES (I know BOO HISS! ) and I was not happy with the clones I did get (FC MOBILE and Retron3) I want the real deal, I want to use the Game Genie and I DO want the Composite A/V so an original top loader would seem best, I plan to do the mod to disable the lockout chip as well. So I may do something along the lines of what you have done and the disabling of the lockout chip as well while I am at it.

I couldn't make the game face the other way. I moved everything to the back so I could turn the whole thing around to see what game I'm playing. I would have moved the power and RF cords to the back if I could have done it easily, but having everything in the front was kind-of the idea.

hey man) i have a spare pin connector to try this on and have cut the outer pieces, how did you remove
the 4 inner ones ?? can i remove them without cutting any of the pins or not? do you have pics of how you did them?

DO NOT USE THE GAME GENIE! Even the straight shot in your custom NES might damage the contacts. The Game Genie PCB connector is thicker then a NES game cart.

So I guess that means that during the four years that I used the Game Genie as a kid on my NES toaster did a lot of damage, huh?

Me and about a million other kids, cause the Game Genie sold like wildfire here in the States.....

I'll do my best to describe how to do it. It's just 4 thin pieces of plastic. Use an ink pen that barely fits down in there. Insert pen strait down into it until the pen touches the first piece of plastic. Hold it vertically above a solid table. (The idea is to use the pen to knock the plastic piece cleanly out of the way without pushing to far.) Firmly hold the pen vertically, just above the 72 pin connector, and hit the table. This should dislodge the first piece. Remove ink pen, let the piece of plastic fall out and repeat. (Let me know if that doesn't make sense.)

guess i wont be doin this one any time soon( all was good to go until i went to bend the top up and
it shatterd in half! not worried about lossing the connector just not realise how thin the plastic in
the top is, so its pretty much toast lol).
