My method for recovering "lost cause" cartridge-based games

[greg]

I just uploaded this video that shows my technique for resurrecting "dead" Super Famicom games. This can be applied to any cartridge-based games, I'm sure. I've seen other videos similar to this, and one guy was using the video to sell this white creamy gunk to clean old NES cartridges. My way involves a trip to a drug store and spending only about three dollars or so.

Tell me what you think of this method. Thanks.

Thanks! That image made my day.

Nuts. I am at work right now, and I cannot view the link. If this is a link to an identical video, I actually couldn't find one that showed the same method I use. I saw some guy selling some white goop to clean the contacts, and some other video. Nobody I saw used files to clean the contacts.

It's the Altered Beast "rise from your grave".

Eraser. Less abrasive...

Get some game bits. Racket sells them now. It's hard to clean carts properly and see how it's going when it's in the shell still. You want to avoid sanding off the gold if you can help it because that is more resistant to corrosion than the copper underneath. Plus you're sanding on the cart shell too. I use a green scrubby sponge on basket case carts as it is less abrasive. When you can see what you're doing on the contacts it's easier to tell when you've cut through the crap without ending up causing more damage and exposing the copper which will tarnish and require constant cleaning.

I bet you went down to the copper at least on some of the contacts on the SFII.

I had a hard time watching this because I wanted you to get to the point instead of talking about random game stores and whatnot. People will see the title of the video and expect the video to be about that.
