You know those converters in black box games?  How do you tell one is in there without cracking it open?  I understand they are a little heavier, but I'm no good at that.
burningdoom:
From what I've read, it's Gyromite that has them.
turf:
Not every gyromite.

I'm not too familiar with the NES, but I did find this video that MIGHT be helpful.

Here is the way I go about it. First it must be a black box game. Second it must be a 5 screw backing. Third (and this is the hardest part for everyone to understand when I explain it) is that the tooth on each pin of the board must be on the side. Let me try to draw a diagram.

Here is the board : [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]          [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] (those are the little gold contacts that you clean or blow on the bottom of the cartridge)

There are little teeth on tip of each one of them. They could be on either side or in the middle. You want them on the side.

Once you get used to looking for them, you will know them instantly.

Btw the most common games to have them is definitely Gyromite. And every single copy of Stack up has one but who wants to cut up a Stack up for a convertor.
