quasi related story

i was at a bar last night

and this super hammered dude was asking/stuttering something to the bartender

kinda a nice place, but she got pissed b/c he was asking "sell me coke"

but after much consternation it was determined drunkass was trying to ask for his subtotal

who just mumbles "subtotal" at a bar?

do you prefer a dollar bill tooter....a straw tooter...an ink pen tooter...

or just the simple pinky nail bump

I always used my house key, since it had the deepest ridge in it

I find that wedging the game down with a second cartridge is the trick to getting old games working. Unless you have that stupid top loading NES, then you have to use a piece of folded paper or something

you have to pop the cartridge in by placing it all the way in except for like 3mm of it and press down. it will be all like *CHAK* and will work
repeat as needed. don't do it on zelda though there is a battery in there that can come aloose

After 25-odd years, my Zelda gold cartridge has Alzheimer's

^^^Zelda II is the only cartridge i have that completely stopped working...

The method I used was to spend 8 bucks on a new 72 pin adapter.

Then the next method I used was to buy an original A/V famicom that never had any issues at all

zelda has a battery in it. one like a watch battery. crack it open, replace, profit!
