Step 4Wiring the cartridge

Get a ribbon cable and solder it to the board following a logical order, I mean, the pin 1 of the cartridge to the pin 1 of the ribbon cable. I used an IDE cable as a ribbon cable.Follow the pins paths to get a termination solder point,it's easier and better(then you can close the cartrigde).Check for shortcircuits when you finish. If it's all ok, fix the cable to the board with glue.

I was just curious, but could you hook this up to a floppy drive a similarly? If you could, could you hint or help me some, it would be much appreciated.

Hi Gdogg, I haven't looked for it on instructables but I have seen a gameboy to floppy drive convertor on another site before - and basically it was used for playing roms on a legit gameboy - was quite funny :) I'm sure if you search for gameboy floppy it will be here somewhere.
