![]() ![]() I did a video which includes a look inside the Japanese version of Ocarina of Time: This will give you access to the circuit board which will give you opportunity to test the battery (if present) and if needed clean the board contacts using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl. Now that you have the cart in pieces you will find metal shielding that has to be taken out by removing the 2 Phillips head screws and then pulling the shield toward you from the top. To actually take an N64 cart apart you will need to first remove the two 3.8mm security bit (Gamebit) screws from the back and they you will be able to separate the 2 plastic halves (there are tabs at the bottom). Please note that I will be only showing Japanese and European cart internals but the circuits themselves should be very similar for a single game across multiple regions, with the main difference being the type of boot/security chip used. We will look at the insides of a number of N64 carts to see how they work and this should cover the majority of board variations. When we are playing N64 games it's easy to forget that the cartridges actually contain an electronic circuit which makes interacting with the N64 possible.
