Post by bacteria »

This is just to make the motherboard smaller to make a portable smaller basically - board bend the cartridge slot area.

Quite a few pics, so easier just to give the link to it:

Does bending the board gain you anything? You've still got the other pieces on the side at the same height as where the cart slot was. Still, cool discovery.

Only thing it "gains" is to make the board not stick out compared to the motherboard with it's slim heatsinks on.
