They were games like Nintendo World Championship and Campus Challenge. I read that if the cart couldn't detect that pin it wouldn't play. It could all just be here say but ya, I'd rather be safe than sorry no matter what the case is. I would personally desolder the 4th pin an solder in a manual switch just to be sure. |

I've just found the standard "solder to ground"-guides so far, and after being tired and mounting the new 72-pin and cleaning the console I couldn't even be bothered doing that just then ::) |

Right? |

Well, I wouldn't cut the pin. Flip the board over, locate the forth pin, use some solder absorbent and get all the solder of the pin. push the pin through the board and solder a wire from the empty 4 pin hole to an on/off toggle switch then back to the actual pin. The switch will most likely always be in the off position, but that's how I would do it. |
