The Ninten-Drawer is the best 72 pin connector upgrade for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. 

Using a more reliable NES101 (AKA "Toploader") style cartridge connector and distinctive "drawer" mechanism, the Ninten-Drawer brings Toploader compatibility to the NES001 (AKA "Toaster") while maintaining the OEM look and feel you expect.

The Ninten-Drawer includes an interchangeable nameplate system with many additional styles available for purchase here, or use our template to design your own. The included dual sided nameplate features the Ninten-Drawer logo on one side, and is blank on the other.

Features:

• Extending drawer mechanism allows for easy and intuitive game removal
• Custom electronics and lockout bypass chip for improved compatibility and region free gaming.
• No soldering required.
• No more “Deathgrip”.
• Magnetic clasp holds the cartridge in place with a satisfying “click”.
• NES2 "Toploader" style cart slot with similar compatibility.
• Customizable and interchangeable nameplate system.
• Parts manufactured in PETG for improved heat resistance and flexibility.

FAQ:

• Where can I find the installation instructions?
  • On the included QR card or here.
    
• The light on my NES keeps blinking and resetting.
  • Follow the region setting process found in the instructions.
• I'm having trouble removing a cartridge from the Ninten-Drawer.
  • Some unlicensed games and accessories use thicker circuit boards than original Nintendo boards, increasing pressure inside the cartridge slot.
  • Dirty and damaged games (including "sand-papered cleaned" games) may increase friction inside the cartridge slot.
  • Pulling from alternating corners (wiggle) rather than the middle should allow for easy removal of problematic cartridges.
• Is the Ninten-Drawer compatible with the Game Genie?
  • No.
  • The Game Genie PCB is extremely thick and could potentially damage the slot of the Ninten-Drawer.
  • We are working on it.
