There are no shorts at all, and it works fine/CPU doesn't get hot.

I'm keeping the DMG CPU, but unfortunately while removing the sgb CPU about 6 pins hardened while extracting and pulled traces. I am harvesting the cart connector and the ram ICs and all other usefull chips. Plus keeping shell, May turn it into a USB flasher... Would be interesting.

Was the resoldering done with an iron or hot air workstation?

Another thing, don't throw away the GB CPUs or SGB motherboards. They won't work together right away, because the SNES side of things will wait from certain boot commands. However, I've been able to send these commands from a program running on a flash cartridge, so maybe the combination SGB board/GB CPU might be of some use to someone, somewhere.

OR what i like it do is get an exacto knife and scrape off the solder mask where the lead goes, flux and tin that bad boy and you got a nice little save smile

A few days after I talked to you about the pocket screen on DMG board schematics actually. I failed horribly. About an hour and a half into it with maybe 10 pins to go on the DMG I accidentally pulled up a piece of a trace on the DMG board and can't figure out a way to fix it if it's even possible to fix it. It's one of the few traces that actually leads under the CPU rather than out and away from it. Freaking sucks T_T I wish I had a heat gun it's probably be so freaking easy if I did. Hand soldering it is a bitch though major major props if you actually did it by hand with an iron. Any tips for someone wanting to do this with an iron besides just take your time a patience because I was and I have loads of patience lol? Such as a way to actually pull the pins up or something while they are heated or just invest in a desolderer?
