for the NES cart, use a very thin and soft pipe cleaner.....worked for me. The DS cards wil be easy......just wipe the contacts................

larger carts (NES, SNES, N64, Genesis...)
Take a q-tip and dip it in rubbing alcohol and scrub the pins with it. Thendry withthe other end. Repeat until the swab comes out clean.

Smaller carts (Gameboy, DS...)
Use the same techniquie as above, but use a piece of courregated cardboard, tagboard, or something along those lines with either a t-shirt you don't care about or some heavy duty paper towels wrapped around it.

Discs
Fold up a kleenex and wet it with rubbing alcohol. Then take the wet side and wipe from the spindle hole of the disc to the rim. NEVER GO AROUND THE HOLE IN CIRCLES! the alcohol will simply evaporate.

the contacts all dull compared to my new games on the DS. So, I'll try.
