Title: Retro Duo portable Post by: deadducks on May 09, 2019, 07:11:30 PM The cartridge port on the Retro Duo Portable is shit >:(. With only 3 hours of use the pins are bent so bad it can't read carts anymore. Lucky for me it is real easy to open and work on. Can I solder in a OEM SNES cart port into it? Or am I better off with an 3rd party cart port.

I can't bring myself to cannibalize a broken super nintendo.
