Q&A: I hear some SD2SP2 boards are Unreliable. How to pick good ones? #10

I’ve been hearing about some unreliable sd2sp2 boards. If you don’t mind me asking, are these good quality ones?

The boards themselves aren't reliable or unreliable - they're essentially just wires printed on a board (no circuitry or anything fancy).

What happens is the SP2 contacts are a little loose, so sometimes when you jostle the GC it comes out of contact.

The best solution for that is to put a little solder on the contacts so that you get a nice, tight fit.

Perhaps I should solder all 50 of these and then just charge $2 extra per each. What do you think? cc/ @heatheatcold

Seeing as I have the soldering skills of a gorilla, (hence the reason why I’m not going the XenoGC chip route) I would absolutely pay for that!

I'd also be interested in an sd2sp2 board that fits better. I'd pay for that too!
