n64 cart slot import mod

[raisinland]

Hello, I have my US n64 open to do the rgb mod and I thought I'd do the import mod at the same time. The mod info on the gamesx page says to cut off two tabs in the cartridge slot. I'm looking at mine and it looks kind of like this:

  |__|""""""""""""""""""""""""""""|__|
  |            .....................            |
  |          |                      |          |
  |            ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''            |
  |'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''|
  ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Are the tabs the blocks in the corners or does the mod refer to a non-US console?

That's them.

Do you have a JPN-region N64 game, just to look? Compare the bottom of that cart with the bottom of the US cart and it should be easy to confirm that those corner pieces are the offending lockout tabs.

-KKC, ordering PC games like they're going out of style. Oh, wait...

They're gone! Thanks for the replies :-) I don't actually have any japanese region n64 games at the moment, it just seemed wise to do all my planned n64 mods at the same time. Now when I can afford to delve into imports I'll be ready.
