I'm pretty sure it's not the cartridges. I (only) have about 13, and they all stopped working at the same time. Another thing is the pins go all the way out, like on the right pictures in the first link. In addition, i have to do the same thing with every game for it to work (that is, press it so it ...

it's been a while since i looked inside my nes, but i think i remember its metal prongs being cobber colored. Problem is, they look worn and underneath there's a silvery color. This might suggest it being worn. If the silvery colored metal is some regular metal, that's probably why it won't work ...

Yeah...of all the things i've ordered from abroad (mostly Nes games), i've never ordered something that big. I guess i could check some australian post offices' prices...

oh ok...i'll have to get a bunch then, I remember a Nes i had as a kid that only lasted 2 years. I used a game genie back then though (i swear to not cheating now). Also, i'll have to get european versions as i dont think we use 72 pins over here..

hmm, looks good and cheap, only problem is it's NTSC, I use Pal .. should be quite possible to make it Pal compatible though. I remember seeing sites that showed you how to mod a NTSC original Nes to switch between pal and ntsc by the flick of a button.. i'm too lazy right now though...

First of all: hello there, i'm new. Second:

I have a question about my NES. I bought a NES from a guy I know, about a year ago. This is, of course, a great thing but I'm having problems. When I insert a cartridge I have to spend a long time getting my NES to work. All it does is come up with a ...
