It didn't look like the pin could be cut with an X-acto. Can it really? If disabling this chip would make the stun circuit bypass not activate, it should work. Does the 10NES in the NES request information first? If so that should keep the stun circuit from firing.

The two chips, one in the NES and the other in the cartridge, act as a pair. The "lock" in the NES looks for the "key" in the cart. Disable the lock, the door is always open. If the 10NES in the system does not detect the chip in the cart, it prevents the system from continuing to "boot". If the chip is disabled, then any converter should work.

I only have two "official" converters, both in a Gyromite and a Duck Hunt cart. I modified the one in the Gyromite to allow connecting Famicom games to it with the cases. Just requires removing about 1/8" off the ends of the fami side of the connector to allow the cart to slide over the connector. My dremel assisted me in that act.

The Gyromite converter definitely works since it has a 10NES/CIC on it. That's what I use for my NES Everdrive. Except my Everdrive now lives inside the Gyromite cart. I'll eventually dremel the plastic for easy access to the micro SD.

A lot of Famicom/NES stuff has been going on lately. The release of the N8 and soon NES Everdrive is damn great. Now, there's an HDMI/Online Scoreboard (mini USB) board about to come out for the Toploader NES/AV Famicom. On top of that, there's a NES Powerpak 2.0 coming out. Awesome times for Nintendo 8-bit greatness.

I am basically sitting this out till I know for sure which flash cart and video board to get. I have been wanting to RGB mod my NES, but I much rather sacrifice 240p with scanlines than go through the whole hellishness of finding a PC-10 PPU and paying out the ass just to get off-looking colors. I hope they make an S-video/Component version of the HDMI board with 240p. That would be awesome sauce!!!

The HDMI board still requires a new PPU...
