Multicart Cartridge Fitting Problem

[gliptitude]

I just received the 'lite' version of this 72 game multi-cart, which comes as a bare PCB. (from A. Coleman)

It is supposed to be able to fit into a GCE cartridge shell, but it does not!

The 3 holes on the PCB do not line up with the plastic stems inside the cartridge shell. 2 will line up, but then the 3rd is off.

Also the the other stems inside the shell, which are not meant to line up with holes, but just hold the board in place, line up on top of components of the multi-cart.

I haven't tried to mess with this at all yet, as it is a common multi-cart and I thought maybe there were common solutions for fitting this one together.

Perhaps the euro MB cartridge shells are slightly different and line up perfectly?

Can anyone please advise?

Will post pics later if necessary.

gliptitude, it nearly fits (after a mod or two...) ! The video below should help you:

Hey cool. This video completely confirms my observations. Thanks vectrexmad.

Was otherwise worried there might be something wrong with mine since the website said that it fits in an old shell.

Haven't done the mods yet, but I see in the video what to do, and to not mess with the PCB itself. Will hopefully do this later tonight.

Well I fit it together. I abandoned the craft knife in favor of finger-nail clippers, which were quicker and safer. The file on the clippers was also useful.
