How to safely open Famicom cartridges

Original Famicom cartridges are notoriously difficult to open because of four stiff plastic tabs which hold the case together. They are extremely prone to breakage if you just pry the cartridge open, and prying also messes up the outside of the case. This video demonstrates a technique to get the cartridge open (and back together again) with no damage to the case.

Special thanks to 'bootgod' from the NESDev forums for teaching me this cool technique, and 'lazerbeat' of Chipmusic.org for providing the Famicom cartridge it was tested on.
