Snes probelm

[Death09]

When my snes power is turned on and i am playing a game, if i even barley tap the game cartridge it messes up?

Or if i move the snes around a lot it messes up

is this natural in snes or is something loose

Almost certainly a bad slot.

I doubt it's a bad slot. Honestly, all cart-based systems do this. The only system I know of to have major issues with a bad cart-slot is the NES (Special thanks to the 4-fingered, nipple fore-headed, recovering drug addict monkey who designed it).

I remember this being an issue when I got my first SNES (When it was NEW). Like I said in the PM where you asked me this exact question, you might be able to "fix" it (It's not actually broken) with some jury-rigging.

If you don't want to mess with it, then I suggest you just not move the system, and don't bump the carts when your playing.

i now understand what you meant in your PM. Yes, this is just a common problem with most all cart based consoles. If you tap them good enough, the cartridge will loose contact on some pins for a second, causing the game to freeze up.
