Dan-Fu:

Instead of ruining a game genie, just use the 2 connectors and make one...
Cut it in half use the strait edges on both?
Your going to be soldering anyway so just solder it like you need it and form the plastic for it?
Seems easier to me.
ShaggyB:
you can usually get the 72pin for $6-8. Ebay or a specialty store.
Then all you need is a screwdriver and max 10 minutes. Check youtube for a video of it if you need help.
Id also recommend a 4.5 mm security bit to open your nes games. this will allow you to clean the pins better... with clean games and a new 72pin your nes will be good.
I prefer my top loader though.

I bought my refurbished SNES and N64 from a website called The Nintendo Repair Shop, and they sell 72-pin connectors for about $10 each. I don't even have an NES yet, but I thought of buying several connectors, and sealing the extras away in a plastic bag for future repairs.
