    Replate it, or do what people do to old arcade pcb.

    Buy replacement edge connector.

    This is from a game copier, no?

    tototek sells new replacements

    Get yourself a cheap game doctor unit and use it to play roms or for bypass.

    That might work for a short time.

    Buy yourself a USA import converter, all it does is extend the edge connector.
    USA has plastic tabs that block superfami.

    Take the old cart and solder it into the usa import converter permanently.

    You'll be permanently piggybacking it on the fresh edge connector.
