The humidity and accidental spit from blowing in the cart actually makes things worse as it promotes corrosion as it dries. So please, don't blow in carts any more and tell others to stop doing so as well. :)
It's such a habit sometimes. Like almost a reflex action to blow on a cart if it doesn't boot the first time.

Shit like a month or so ago I was hanging out with a friend, telling him about how blowing into carts is bad because of the corrosion and shit. I pop in an SNES game and it doesn't turn on and what do I do? I fucking pull out the cart, blow on it, and put it back in, without even thinking about it.

Felt kinda dumb there.

I have one of these systems
i actually have a list of the games i have that dont work on it but i dont have a genesis to test some of the on the legitimate system and my original NES is finicky. The Version of the system i have it the one without the flap on the box

NES
Dragon Warrior 1 and 2
Maniac Mansion

Genesis
Forgotten Worlds
Golden Axe

My Copy of X-men for gen works fine on it
and I have yet to have any problems with the SNES stuff
Super Mario RPG runs as does Starfox and Stunt Race FX

Accessories dont work worth a damn though
NES Advantage doesnt work
NES Max doesnt work
SNES Turbo Touch 360 controllers wont work either
I have yet to test the light guns i have because ive been rocking out a flat screen for a good while now.
And it plays Super Famicom games without issue as they didnt put those tabs in it

That's really odd. Other than perhaps turbo not working because it doesn't like the timing of the rapid, this doesn't make a lot of sense. :?

yeah i also found it really odd that they didnt work but i pulled out the originals to make sure it wasnt the controllers that were messed up and they worked fine on the NES and SNES
