I wonder if you could just tie pin 7 (VCC) to pin 8 (Write Protect). I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they didn't check for success on the write. Would be a much simpler hack.

Yep, exactly that is also described on the tutorial page. https://github.com/dekuNukem/bob_cassette_rewinder/blob/master/user_manual.md#can-i-enable-write-protect-wp-to-lock-out-wash-count https://github.com/dekuNukem/bob_cassette_rewinder/blob/mast...

Well, now that everything is understood, there is no need for every user to get destructive with a cartridge (it's not easy to access the board) in order to tie those pins together.

  Looks easy enough to me if you have a dremel and a cutting disk. Then you just solder the one you removed/modified into the 4 wires in the machine, leaving the machine socket wired to nothing. And never mess with it again.

But then you would have to manually keep count of the used cycles to know when manually refill the cassette.

  Ah, yeah, that is one downside. I suppose you could just weigh it.
