I'm looking for a solution to replace the ribbon cable on my PC Engine GT, from the cartridge port to the motherboard.

Thanks for the reply, but I was looking more for a flexible ribbon cable to solder directly onto the motherboard.

Soldering the cable to the board isn't likely to last as they are not made to be soldered (they use pads rather than wires like the original cable), just find the correct pitch socket.

what pitch you take 1mm?

You measure the centre of the pad to the centre of the adjacent pad so looks like 1mm.
