I read in numerous places that the slightly off pitch wouldn't be a problem using this slot as a replacement for the NES, but looking at the pins and an NES cart this problem is accumulative and is absolutely a problem causing the cart insertion to cross pins, While getting the pins of the slot connected to the NES is easy enough, the games will cross pins. I am wondering how could this slot be so recommended if this is a problem that would make a game unplayable? Is there something I'm missing here with this part? It just seems completely unusable. I was trying to not cannibalize my Game Genie, but it looks like this is the best option, I can pick up a new one this weekend probably. I've also had success in using the system end of an old original 72-pin ZIF by cutting it off and trimming it appropriately.
Is there any places like digikey that sells a viable edge connector w/ the 2.50mm pitch we need? I cannot find anything for the life of me, everything is 2.54mm.
on a side note, I've been looking for a viable slot for Famicom too. I'd rather NOT use my famicom adapter, but heck.. I don't wanna experience more pitch issues. I seem to never see any viable slots with mounts built on it either, not sure if anyone has a source they know of that sells such things other than bulk suppliers.
Thanks
