I was wondering if the cartridge needs no heatsink.
Is not it bad for the card that he get so hot.

:friendly_wink:
Sorry my english is not so good.

Heat sink?

You mean the metal shielding? That's not for heat to my knowledge. Cart may work without it, but I wouldn't suggest it.

No metal shielding in cart.
Is it better to have a metal shield in the card?

A metal shield would help reduce interference either going into the cart or leaving it. While the Everdrive64 clearly has not been tested and approved by the FCC I don't think you'd need to add one if it appears to be working just fine.

Thanks for the explanation.
Then I let him as he is.
