  5. They're just saying that because they know it works and they want you to spend your money foolishly buying brand new cartridges from kay-bee.

  8. I still have my NES that I bought online like 8 years ago. Had to do the hack where you snap off a pin connector from one of the transistors and it still works although I haven't played it in a while

  15. The logic of their argument can be used in reverse aswell.

    Reseating the cartridge doesn't work; But because you take it out it generates airflow which dislodges dust particles. Therefor it seems like reseating the cartridge works, but that's just a placebo effect.

  19. if Chaim is playing the original NES with a regular good old CRT TV with the RF connector, why the hell is the output in a square format instead of 4:3??

  20. This video is so redeeming. I have been saying this all my life. I noticed the usual fix was to nudge the cartridge and try again. My buddy had this comical process of blowing as hard as he could, then three taps on his leg. Hilarious.

  21. Blew on my Atari 2600, Intellivision, and Commodore 64 cartridges long before the NES came out. As of a couple of years ago, they were still working, so obviously my breath didn't kill them.
