Hi, I got my hands on a green gameboy cart and want to replace the innards with a GB flash cart which doesn't have the mini-usb thing sticking out of the top (don't want to ruin the green casing:P). What are the options available for GB flash carts? I know the smartboy cart's are back in stock but i'm not sure if i can just rip the board out of them and implant it into my green one...

ugggghhh where are people finding these green gameboy carts? I'm super desperate for one!!
Smartboys, non-USB bleepbloops, ASM MCB5 carts or diy zeigler-style carts will all work for you
bleepbloops and ASM MCB5s are gonna be a little tough to get, although ASM sometimes has secret stock of stuff that . A lot of people have been building Zeigler carts lately so there's probably a lot of help to be had if you are up to tackling a project like that.

Haha, I came across it randomly on ebay 
It cost me £5 but at least it looks official with the "Nintendo Game Boy TM" on the front. I've already removed the label on it and cleared the gunk too.
I'll look into the Zeigler cart thing (wonder if I can find a youtube video tutorial) first since I have a soldering iron and some solder in the basement somewhere from a previous project (I'm a novice at this sort of stuff though) so all i'm missing is the components and a donor cart XD and if it fails, I'll just buy the smartboy since I can't seem to find any places that sells the non-USB bleepbloops or ASM's MCB5...thanks kinectic;)

Then you will most likely fail trying to make your own carts. It requires alot of SMD soldering.

I can still give it a try, I have a lot of free time after work anyway.

Lol, I think I know what cart your talking about. Was it a king of fighters cart or something? I almost bought it but decided not to.

Nope, it was a harry potter and the philosophers stone cart 
There was no screw on the back of the cart though so the front kept falling down, I had to take the screw from an old gameboy game and stick it onto this cart. Oh, and I've found a smartboy cart seller on some site selling @ $1-$2 a piece...emailed them and waiting for a reply now. Let's see if it's legit
