Anyone know a way to open Nes carts without the specific screw bit?

But seriously, get the necessary screw-bit, that's how they're put together and that's how they're disassembled.

You'll need a 3.8mm security bit screwdriver. The cart was designed that way, no short cuts. If you don't care about condition, throw it against the wall a few times, you might have to pay to patch the wall up though. NES carts are tough.

The "Bic pen/lighter" method will work, but be prepared to go through as many as one per screw (the same amount again potentially on reassembly).

Why the fuck was the reference post deleted?

What the fuck, Jannys.

The screwdriver is about $4.30 on amazon. Seems like less money and effort to use that as opposed 4-10 lighters.

>How do I open this without a tool specific for the purpose I need?

Jee I fucking wonder.

You go on eBay and buy a gamebit.

Otherwise you can drill out the screws and replace them with your crazy inferior phillips heads later.

you mean pens right?
You don't need multiple lighters

Bic _pens_, mang. Pens.

Seriously OP, I got two of them, the smaller SNES/NES/GB and the larger Genesis/N64 bits for like $4 (including shipping) on amazon. Just shell out the money and do it properly. You'll be able to open all of your games and systems for thorough cleaning/repair if you do.

No no no. Melt the lighter to fit into the screw head. What could go wrong?

Bic pen guy here. This is the more sensible option, OP. The pen method is only a poorfag last-resort.

Oh, I deleted it sorry.
I didn't know if I was remembering correctly.

>>2808080
Thanks for clarifying

>>2808065
Bic pen method is shit tier. Stick a rubber band over the screw and use a small security or Allen head bit

[spoilers]I've actually had a [non bic] lighter explode in my hand because I was dripping molten plastic onto it; I was melting one of those orange fences you see at construction sites and ski resorts and listening to the burning plastic fall to the ground, sounds like a zipper. Hooray alcohol[/spoilers]
