Black Box Conveter Help

[nintendodork]

Welllllll.........
Pirated converters are kinda hard to find..in the U.S, that is...
Pirated converters are...well..pirated, so they don't have a 100% success rate like the Stack-Up ones do because the Stack-Up ones are made by Nintendo themselves..
Also I'll bet this was cheaper than any pirated converter because I got it in a pawn shop for 50 cents

Plus Gyromite and Stack Up are pretty shitty games.

I couldn't play Stack-Up to save my life, and Gyromite is kind of a nice game, about the same fun as Wrecking Crew and it has a cool gimmick...it was one of the first games for the NES, so you can't expect to much

SMB, Donkey Kong, 10 Yard Fight, Duck Hunt, Excite Bike, Ice Climber, Kung Fu, and Wild Gunman beg to differ.

Hey now, Gyromite is a good puzzle game.  Stack Up isn't without its merits, but, unlike Gyromite, it's pretty much unplayable without ROB.

Hmm, I really wouldn't have ruined a Stack-Up cartridge because of its rarity, especially since you can open them with a flat-head screwdriver.

Gyromite is fun if you can play with a friend.

If I had a ROB they'd be cool, but otherwise they suck imo.

WELL THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM

Just used a black box converter to play Popeye's English Game. All I had to do was flip it around and jam it into the cart.

I'm using a Retro Duo, so it was easy for it to work. I'm still using my pirate converter for Famicom games, though.

Ok, I got it into the other side, and Hades was right all along...I was just being a wimp
It feels like it mangles the pins almost, but I don't see any damage anywhere...
But nonetheless, pulling carts OFF is a PIA, so any ideas on how to make/install a proper ribbon/wire/string/etc

Just wondering... Is there a special reason why you use a stripped Stack-Up cart.
Why don`t use a cartridge/converter like this ??

The Stack-Up converter contains a legitimate Nintendo Lockout chip instead of a Lockout killer circuit like most pirate converters. This means instant bootup!

Well... that's a reason

[son_ov_hades]

Get a top loader, problem solved.

Or cut Pin 4 from the CIC inside the console.
