Those are actually vias, to connect the bottom and top trace together. To maximize the profit and minimize the cost they use big drill size.

Original game cart can be really expensive for certain games, so people just make some fake cartridge and flash in any games they want, apply the sticker and sell them at a high price. Don't get me wrong, they are actually working cartridges, the only difference is they are made by third-parties.
EDIT: I have some fake one in my collection as well
It almost seems like these are optimal for the soldering if you know what you're buying. They have cleaner traces that have pinholes. Makes it simpler.

Then they can be used instead of needing to tap into the traces right?1461748123 wrote:Those are actually vias, to connect the bottom and top trace together.

Re: Cart
Then they're incredibly simpler than buying the old oem dmg games. Any chance you know if you can search for them specifically instead of getting a bootlegged/pirated game by chance?1461748123 wrote:That's correctKilren wrote:Then they can be used instead of needing to tap into the traces right?1461748123 wrote:

Well, the only way you can get them without any games on it is the custom one, like the one that kitsch-bent made. They cause more than a bootlegged cartridgeKilren wrote:Then they're incredibly simpler than buying the old oem dmg games.
