This is exactly where such a kind of device should be used as for gaming - to allow multi-load games to be played without all that hassle with level tape loading.<br /><br />There is also that website Fruitcake.plus.com - and he actually designed several cartridge variants and even supports WRITING to cartridges, I think. But for sure you know about that.maikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269479583867794566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887612688337342004.post-82033410699050307312018-05-28T14:31:17.934+01:002018-05-28T14:31:17.934+01:00Oh, thanks for the advice.

Note: This is a very slow process and can take in excess of one hour, without any guarantee results.<br /><br />The main question you should answer is why do you want to open it?<br />I already have one open. You can check the photos I have taken.
