I will have to get another NES and refurbish it by soaking the connector in vinegar, and also make pickles at the same time.

Very informative video brother. The Famicom seems so cool and the disk system. I'm need to pick one up someday soon.

Well, I need to make a video about the famicom disk system. I love it! But it is a pain to try to collect for, especially if you're an American gamer. So The games are on magnetic floppy disks and it's not a regular floppy disk. It's a special floppy disk That can only be modified by having a fds disk drive hooked up to a computer or a special USB Device to write. The problem is that it's highly fragile and easy to get messed up. There are times that I've had a friend in Japan mail me games and half of the disks are erased or give me error messages by the time I get them in the US because the modern mail system will x-ray the floppy discs and erase them or erase enough of them so that you can't play them. Now the famicom disc system interfaces with a cartridge slot and it takes advantage of expanded audio capabilities on the famicom and there are really good music tracks which can only play on original Famicom Hardware, fpga systems, or an NES that had some internal modifications made on it. So it's almost easier to play famicom disk system games off an everdrive on a Famicom system, so there's roughly 200 famicom disk system games and it is more reliable to use an everdrive than it is to use a real famicom disk system. So I like the famicom disks system but it can be very frustrating. So I would recommend that you get what's called the AV famicom which looks like the American top loader NES, it has the best audio quality, the best video quality, and is compatible with American NES controllers. And if you get that plus in everdrive that plugs into it such as the N8 Fami, You can play games uses the FDS expanded audio correctly.

Clip pin 4 of the 10NES chip. Fixed.

That definitely helps by preventing the lockout chip from being triggered, however, if the resistance on the connectors is too high from the corrosive residue and there's not going to have sufficient transmission of electrons and your data is not going to leave the cartridge. So instead of having a flashing Gray and black screen. You have a flashing green screen. So that's where the connector cleaning comes in.

Many years ago, this is exactly what i did: boiling the connector. To my surprise it worked pretty well!

The heat can help break the chemical bonds of the corrosion residue and wash it away. And if any pins are bent then are more malleable when heated up and applying a cleaning cartridge can help bend them back as a well as helping apply mechanical force to any remaining corrosion residue.

I've only used rubbing alcohol on my 72pin connection and refurbished the pins by bending them back into place. Now I have a much better tight connection. Never had an issue

I've never had it bend the pins Beyond using a cleaning cartridge after it was warmed up. The cartridge tray being too tight was actually my big complaint with the replacement connector.

What do you think about the Ninten-Drawer NES 72 Pin Connector Replacement?
@8bitjoystick
28 күн бұрын
I think the Ninten-Drawer Is fascinating and I'm glad that they are making actual manufactured versions. I'd much rather buy one that I could pop into a system then try to 3D print something. I definitely have to respect the ridiculous amount of engineering that went into trying to build a better front loaded connector than Nintendo did. I don't really think it's right for me considering I have two og front NES systems, two hyperkin systems, two famicoms, three famiclones and a RetroUSB AVS. I probably have about five times the famicom games that I have NES games. I need to make a video about my intense love of the "New" AV Famicom and why I think it's Nintendo's best system ever.

So according to KZitem rules, I'm not supposed to advocate people to break the law. But like what about the fcc's rather aggressive radio frequency regulations from the mid-1980s which are completely non-relevant these days because no one is using RF transmissions to watch analog TV transmissions on a CRT. I mean it's been like what two decades since that stopped being relevant? I put the top shield on my NES but I threw out the bottom shield because I've always hated the bottom shield because it's a pain in the butt because you have to angle the power switches and the player two connectors around it. And if you don't have it, the cartridge tray aligned right the cartridges don't work right.

You know what I changed my mind. You specifically can go drink the industrial alcohol (sarcasm). Also go blow on your cartridges. I also was thinking about showing that if you take your alcohol soaked q-tip and then set it on fire it looks completely awesome like a torch but then again KZitem has rules about not encouraging people to do dangerous things in your videos because of people who do stupid ticktock challenges like inhaling Cinnamon and such. You know I would have done the vinegar soak method if I had any vinegar besides sweet sushi rice vinegar, It tastes amazing on rice but it probably wouldn't help me play Nintendo
