There are two flaws making this possible.<br /><br />First, the are not numbered and the carts cannot be told apart from another. This makes it very difficult to prove the original owner and its ownership history.<br /><br />Second, the only mark on the cart is printed on cheap non-glossed sticker paper with a 360 dpi Xerox printer. Worse yet, the sticker isn&#39;t machine cut, nor shaped by exacto knife. It is cut with original scissors by hand. Then sloppily slapped on.<br /><br />If you have no soul, you can mint your own. You will also walk in the very same steps Nintendo did. <br /><br />1) Get a gray cart(stay with me here) and remove the circuit board. They are 100% identical. <br /><br />2) Take a Zelda cart and remove the inside and wash off the sticker. Cut a small sqaure in the upper left hand corner in the same position as the gray. Smooth it out.<br /><br />3)Place the gray board in the gold and put in the screws. Since the corner is gone and the right size, the dip switch will face out nicely. <br /><br />4) Scan the Nintendo World Championships logo in and match to size of any gold cart you&#39;ve seen in Photoshop. Print in 360 dpi on ordinary non-gloseed sticker paper. Best if you have a color inkjets could do the trick. <br /><br />5) Cut with plain scissors and place by on the front as a gold would.<br /><br />BAM! You have yourself a gold. <br /><br />Once again, DO NOT DO THIS. THIS IS FRAUD. This is to prove the golds are not a wise investment. <br /><br />Why would Nintendo make it so easy. The golds were a promotion and an afterthought and they used what they had at the time, the official grays.<br /><br />Be safe and be careful what you buy. You might be purchasing a gray in disguise...<br /><br />--What am I saying, the Golds are the grays in disguise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
