Yes the solder joints are terrible, but it works and I’m proud of myself.

    If you did soldering for the first time - your joins are pristine. They are completely fine unless you want to fulfill IPC-A-610 standard.

      Requiring 610 for your own repair of a game cartridge would be kinda ridiculous anyway.

      Besides soldering battery taps can be a pain. There can be so much thermal capacity in the taps (technically the cell, but). Combine that with an ordinary 35μm PCB, perhaps with some old school phenol board, and this result is some a newbie can be quite proud of. Heck, even if you’ve trained a bit.
