Title: Alternatives to Security Screws on Carts
Post by: Blueprint on November 23, 2013, 02:48:47 AM

Im looking for a alternative to using the genesis/snes security screws that come on those carts. Some kind of philips screw with the same dimensions as security bits, I need this for some genesis carts that have worn out security screws and i need replacement for them. Anyone has done this before or any sugestions. Thanks

You could just buy some used games at a local shop, check out the screws before you buy it though.

I don't know the sizes of the screws themselves, but I'm sure there's an expert on the matter around.

I'd try taking one of the security screws to Lowes/Home Depot. They have a hardware section with dang near every size screw you can imagine. You should be able to find some with the same dimensions and thread but with a Phillips head.

Lowes very likely will. Home Depot likely will not.
