--- Quote from: athmaus --- Haha! I do have an original NES, but it is giving me the red blinking light error. Think the 72 pin needs to be replaced, but the Top loader is working fine. Sad as the system did work when i found it. (It was in a thrift shop, in the box, contains EVERYTHING include the dust cover, and i got it for 7 bucks as they had it tagged for half off that day!). --- End quote --- You really have 2 logical and simple choices in this situation athmaus! 1: you should try to clean all your NES cartridge tips with 97% Isopropyl Alcohol and a cue tip and scrubbing them all with a cue tip (both sides) and scrub the top edge with a dry cue tip after. then blow on the cartridges to dry them. insert them into the NES turn them on. and keep inserting and re-inserting the same game testing it with both the power and the NES reset button. (OR) ::) 2: Get a Retro Duo or Retro Trio (a new one) BUT FIRST. *(CLEAN YOUR CARTRIDGES)* heck mine were so DIRTY when I first started collecting them not even my new Retro Duo would read them. ;) now all them read :D The Retro Duo cannot be touched by a dog or cat or anything while on or else you have a ruined game session. but that is why you should be carefull |
