That only works when you're soldering the chip to the PCB. When building this type of cartridge, the chip has a different pinout, and sometimes a different package, so what you typically need to do is to connect the chip with wires. See the pdf! This is doable, but requires a firm hand, a good iron, and preferably a microscope.

It's actually dead easy as long as you've got the right tools. Look up drag soldering.  You'll need a fine, flat solder tip and solder paste but it's really quite simple.

If you look on youtube you can see the technique demonstrated.

(ouch none of my BBCode worked )

Hey guys,

I'm currently faced with quite the dilemma.

As the holidays approach, I was hoping to make my girlfriend her own gameboy, as well as a LSDJ cart.  The gameboy was cake (i'll post pics after i finish painting it) but i'm a bit uneasy about soldering this card.

I found an old copy of Medarot 2 (GBC),

so if i killed it in the process, it's not to big a deal, but i'm deathly afraid of screwing up my EPROM.

I'm hoping to use a AMD29F032B-90EF, along side Mr.Ziegler's Amazing set of instructions (Which can be found here) But after reciving the chips, i'm starting to get cold feet...

I mean just look at those pins!

Any tips of advice? maybe some kind of TSOP to dip connector?

TLDR: I'm a weenie, and am afraid to solder small pins- advice?

Thanks in advance,
-Ben
