Nope. I don't want to solder it, so I stopped trying to open it.
I think I'm going to have to get a switchable 8K RAM cart.
The logical solution would be to just get a Mega-Cart.

It should be easy to open it with a thin blade (or something similar), forcing a bit on all four sides. Before I crack it open, can anyone confirm that the black & silver cartridge definitely has switches? I read this on the Denial wiki : Upon opening the cartridge and exposing the circuit boar...

You must open your cart to toggle one of the two banks to BLK5 Does this involve soldering? I don't really want to modify my 16K cart (it was NIB/unused until ...

I'm finally ready to take my place at the back of the line for a Mega Cart... but it looks like www.mega-cart.com is gone. It just goes to a domain parking page.
Is there another way to place an order?
