What do they do when you try and start 'em up?

!nF3D4L · 08-03-2008, 03:22 AM

Try blowing the dust off the cartridges.

Ihmhi · 08-03-2008, 07:01 AM

Still have mine - got it in '92. Still works!

I was playing Link to the Past like... last month?

Love the thing.

Rub the cartridge's contacts with a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol on it.

I hated those little demons that threw axes at you, following with a laugh.

Brother fixed Mario Kart 64 kast night with a bit of damp cloth, magic stuff.

!nF3D4L · 08-03-2008, 04:20 PM

damn cloth worked !!

FrenchToast · 08-03-2008, 04:45 PM

I found an NES at my co-op, it's been in a box for the last few years, and I want to try it out but I only have the NES. I need to find a power adaptor and games/conrollers.

NOOOO!!! Never blow into a cart. (moisture in your breath is bad)

Use a pink eraser to clean the contacts(both sides), then put some rubbing alcohol on a q-tip, and clean them with that. Let dry, and try it again.

Also, instead of hitting e-pay, try Atariage.com first. They have a "Marketplace" forum, and you can get better stuff cheaper than e-bay.

wat?

Step one: blow into cart.
Step two: wipe with a damp cloth
Step three: I've never seen required.

It's seriously like voodoo magic or something.

That is how you wear down the contacts on the pins.

They makes replace 72-pins for the NES and I'm pretty sure they have replacement ones for the SNES

if i remember correctly, been years since i worked at a old school game system repair shop, yobo made them. I also sold the Yobo Top Loaders and they work great!

Didn't the SNES Zelda cartridges have a battery to keep your saved game data live?

Ihmhi · 08-04-2008, 11:08 AM

Yep. Fun thing, if you don't plug it in every so often the battery eventually dies. I have a worthless copy of Perfect Dark 64 because my friend didn't plug it in for 6 months when I lent it to him THANKS A LOT DAVE!

greenday5494 · 08-04-2008, 02:37 PM

Perfect Dark on the N64 had a battery?

I wish I still had my master system...

I miss dragon boy III...
