Introduction |
| The Nintendo 64 is home to some of the most iconic video games of the cartridge era of consoles. But some of those games are locked behind a region lock. Thankfully, removing this lock, and making your device universal, is very easy, and mostly requires you to remove the top cover. | | | == Things you will need == | In addition to the tools, you will need a universal cartridge slot. You can order this from the [link|https://www.shapeways.com/product/VRHZKBHUZ/n64-universal-cartridge-slot?li=shortUrl|Shapeways website], or you can [link|https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2829693|3D print the slot using thethis .sti file from Thingiverse]. Alternatively, if you don't have the ability to do either, you can use a Dremel to remove the plastic from the existing slot as shown in the video by [link|https://www.youtube.com/c/Nintendrew/videos|Nintendrew], but it is highly recommended that you use the first two options for a cleaner look, or if you intend to resell the device. |
