ahh... plagiarism strikes again... :)
What you'll need
1.Q-Tips
2.Windex or a solution of 50% isopropyl alcohol, 50% water

What to do
To clean a cartridge:
1.Dip a Q-Tip in the cleaning solution and rub firmly across the metal
contacts on the dirty cartridge. Repeat until the Q-Tip comes out
clean.
2.Use a dry Q-Tip to wipe off the excess solution.
3.Once the game is dry, plug it in to test it. You may want to remove
and reinsert the game a couple times more to make sure the
contacts are completely clean.

I just use a qtip and moisin it a little it works fine and there is a lot less chance of wareing off the gold plateing over the pins

do step 1 and 2 of above sept with water instead of solution

edit: flips over cartrige and reads
Caution do not clean with benzene, thinner, alcohol, or outher such solvents

btw ammonia D is the active ingredient in windex and its a solvent also

I believe your refuring to the lockout chip only real neses have one don’t worry about it (its ez to disable btw)

nes cartridges have a "key" chip those are skipped on adapter cause a real Famicom dose not have one


as far as I know there is no additional security in any nes cart cause that was more just to make companies that made games for the system to have to buy the chip from them
