Be very careful not to short anything out! Seems like a very possible hazard with exposed metal everywhere. I hope you manage to get a ROM wired up successfully.

Don't worry, I haven't plugged it in yet (I can't, in fact, it does not fit). Of course, when I do (and before I turn on the console), I will make sure that none of the pins are touching (I will make a continuity test between the ends of the connector and the motherboard, just to be extra sure that nothing is shorted and that all pins are working).
However, all of the pins I am using are protected by resistors on the motherboard, so in case of a short, nothing should _really_ go wrong. I will of course make sure such thing does not happen, but this makes me confident that even if I screw up, the console will likely still be fine.

Well hopefully you don't have any resistors burn up. =)
Looking forward to seeing an update when you get a ROM booting.

Don't worry, I'll be careful. And yes, I'm looking forward to that moment as well! 😁
