It's basically a top-loader connection inside an original NES. The original 72 pin connector and cartridge tray have been removed and replaced with a solid connector (that's always connected), as well as a new cartridge tray. The game slides in, snaps into the new connector, and that's it - no more pressing down to make a connection. The new parts are the same size as the old ones, so everything fits back just like it was before. It took me less than 10 minutes to hook up. I believe it also disables the region protection, but I don't have any non-U.S. games to check.
(I should have taken some photos as I was installing it, but a quick google search will show pictures and videos of this product)
So far, it's worked for every game I've tried, even some that I could not make work before. Since there's no more connection that has to be made, there will never be another blinking light error. The connection is a little tighter than an original 72 pin, but not nearly as tight as an official Nintendo top loader or the death grip of some clone systems. Now I get the beautiful picture of an A/V connection with the reliability of a top loader.
This was a campaign on Kickstarter, and the company that makes it is called Arcade Works. I didn't get in on the Kickstarter campaign, but I was able to order one from the Arcade Works website for $20 + $5 shipping.

I backed this project sometime last last year, and I read in an email that I should be receiving mine soon. I'm glad to see that someone has received theirs and that it's working out well for them. Although, I'm not very happy that someone who didn't back the program, and just ordered it online got theirs before someone who backed the company from the start. No offense to you, it's the seller that I have a bone to pick with.

I backed this on Kickstarter and received it a few days ago but I haven't had time to hook it up to see how it works yet, maybe tomorrow...

Me too. Honestly, Fallout does little for me and I was iffy about the game...but this is damn cool and now I am sold. Plus, I figured if I didn't get it now, I won't be able to later.

Arseen:
The store ordered Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker game contacted me and asked if I want to cancel my order and instead order Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker + Toad Amiibo combo.
I did (third Toad Amiibo so if someone needs Euro version I have one extra soon...) and ordered also Mario Party 10 + Mario Amiibo combo and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U + Mario Amiibo combo.
I earlier ordered and recieved Splatoon + Squid Amiibo combo from them and soon my Yoshi's Woolly World + Green Yarn Yoshi Amiibo combo should arrive from them as well.
Then there is Chibi-Robo: Zip Lash + Chibi Robo Amiibo combo coming hopefully at fall.
Did Kirby and the Rainbow Curse have one?
Any others in sight?
