I plan to make some videos soon'ish of a bunch of gameplay. I know some already are on Youtube, but the more the merrier I think.

Use fine nose snips and cut close to the IC body.
Yes, I socketed itCrazyboss wrote: ↑19 Oct 2018 15:32 Also a trick is to desolder from both sides, dont know if its works on the Memotech but I removed 8x 4116s from a ColecoVision board, the trick is to cut the legs off the ics. And then desolder from the legs-side of the board, and remove the legs with a tool. then later use a solder pump and heat the solder from both sides, until you get a clean hole. And then use SOCKETS next time![]()
