Bought this brand new, directly from Amazon.jp. I finally go to play it today, no workie. Popped open the case to see this mess. The edge connector actually had hot glue covering parts. And a shitty repair job on a PCB trace.

Pretty disappointed they would sell this thing after a botched repair job. I got it to boot once or twice by holding it at an angle in the system.

We'll see if its repairable.

Thanks for the heads up. I got one of these carts but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
