Modders Develop 'Ninten-drawer' to Fix Reliability Issues with Original NES Cartridge Connector
-
The original NES had a flawed pin connector that made games not work well over time. Aftermarket solutions existed but had drawbacks.
-
A new "Ninten-drawer" connector replaces the original design with an extending drawer to easily insert/remove cartridges.
-
The Ninten-drawer provides a reliable connection without getting stuck like other replacements.
-
It was developed by modders RockerGaming and reventlow to address issues with the 35-year-old NES design.
-
The Ninten-drawer is currently being beta tested and hopefully will have a wide release soon.
