5 step solution to fix any NES game that doesn't work.

Post by J T »

1. Remove cartridge from console.
2. Blow into the cart. It's like CPR for 8-bit games.
3. Place cartridge back into the console.
4. Jiggle the cartridge while mumbling something like "come on baby" or "work for me"
5. Press the power button and enjoy your now working game.

You forgot the step where you rapidly push up and down on the cart while it's in the system.

IF NEED BE: Place cartridge underneath your shirt, bring cartridge opening up to mouth. Blow through shirt into cartridge for less moisture. If method does not work, repeat till it does(do not stop your praying, praying in head still needs to be done for method to work)

You're doing it wrong! We forgot to mention the step where you bang on the side of the cart for good luck/"knock the dust off."
