3.8mm is used to open NES and SNES games.
4.5mm is used to open the SNES console and Mega Drive/Genesis games.

Sellers rip you off with shipping, it's cheapest to buy both bits at the same time, you never know when you're gonna need the 4.5mm bit.  The 3.8 is for opening NES games.

This one's free if you're a smoker.

Alternatively, just get a plastic bit of doweling, some screw holes on systems are deeper than carts. The bic should work on most carts though. Get one with the longer tapered tip, the click ones usually do better. The cheap non-clic have too snub-nosed an end.

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.

mcmelectronics.com also sells both of them for around $4 each plus shipping (comes to about $15).
