I am at Dans house right now and have just confirmed that my N64 mod to play Jap games works.

It was very easy to do but  was afraid i would hit something vital inside of the system and keep it from ever working.

Basically all i had to do was chisle away the plastic pieces inside the cart slot.

I have ALOT of SSB, F-Zero X and Mario Kart 64 to play tonight.

So FYI to anyone who has Jap games and wants to play them.
The caveman method i used is flathead screwdriver and hammer.
A more civilized way to do it would be using a dremel or similair tool to acieve the same thing but with cleaner results and much smaller chance of destroying something inside.
And of course the professional way would be to pick up one of these bad boys. http://www.electricquarter.com/sbit.htm

Why didn't you screw it open so you could work on it without having to worry about breaking any of the vital parts? Anyways, congratulations on a job done well.

Good job man!  I've personally never modded any systems because I don't collect/buy Japanese games, but if it's doable on your own then I might as well give it a try sometime.  Wink

In order to screw it open i would have had to have that security bit.
It would have been MUCH easier if i had the bit because then the tabs i chisled out would have just lifted off. They were connected to a larger plastic plate.

They have chips but i am going to say the easiest sure fire way to do it is buy a premodded repacked system from www.lik-sang.com


Edit

i think that will run you 90 - 100 bucks.
