Why Your Brain Kept Tellling You to Blow into NES Catridges

[mortuus est]

i did blow but with my sega megadrive games and it worked

 

[Aoteroa]

Got a scratched up PS1 game? Best believe rubbing some toothpaste on it got that shiit working again. I dont even know where I heard about it as a youngin. Lookin back its but when it worked

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

blowing on the cartridge through your shirt was the GOAT method. But I used everything listed above except for the freezer one lol. Never even heard of that.

Did this and also, would put the game about 95% into the system, but still slightly sticking out just a lil bit and would do this mash down technique that would make the cartridge slightly bang on the end of the cartridge slot before it goes all the way into the system. It worked like a charm about 75% of the time. If it didn't, do it a few more times and it usually would work.

The last step to that is pressing power or reset over and over until the game worked.

i had this game called Rygar
fukkin hated this goddamn game
cause not only was the shyt hard as fukk when you get to this one point
but it always seemed to glitch at that point too
maaaaan, I took some of my moms cocoa butter just rubbed that shyt all in that muthafukka
I still dont even know what made me do something that random
Its just thats how frustrating that shyt can get
I remember back in the day when I lived in Castle Hill you would see mad NES cartridges all over the walk ways and the sides of the buildings lol

Yup. What you know about double-tapping the power butting and holding down the reset button, lol.

All this shyt is reminding me why cartridges =

Nah blowing them shyts worked....I clearly remember it working.

When shyt got serious I would hit it with a q-tip.

I used to slap the shyt out the nintendo tapes.

Big cuzzin used to be like:

"slap the tape up on the counter, it need a hard surface to get the dust out"


Me:

I damn near broke my ninja turtles on that counter


Then I got an aswhoopin' by my dad for making all that noise knowing he had to go to work

My cousin and the NES aint shyt for that one

 

[RammerJammer]

And hitting the older consoles seemed to work too I remember cousin punching his SNES when it acted up and I knew other folks who would do it to their N64s too.

Wouldn't dare do that with the new systems though.

Breh, my Cousin had a fat PS2 and he used to put a LAMP on the console so it would work and it did

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

I miss cartridges and those big ass boxes games use to come in

 

[Pimp]

Nintendo was the original RROD lol.. I remember the sh!t we use to do just to get a game to work..

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiet….

My Xbox One quit playing Blu Rays a while back so i slammed my fist into the top of it a few times and they have played ever since.

The freezer method >>>>>> shyt burnt my soul when my smb3 was not working properly but some Asian kid told me to put it in the freezer and we were cool for about 3 summers
