Video Game "Look what I found"

[CRTGAMER]

no offence but damn i really hate pal ps2 cases

The blue of the cases or the artwork / spine? I personally love see all the spines on a shelf in uniform.

the blue cases some games look ok with it but most do not.

I like it for for the quick identification to determine if a game is PAL or NTSC sitting on the shelf. I wish the Gamecube cases did that blue scheme for the PAL games. I wonder how Blue became the PAL color? Dreamcast used the same color scheme.

I found Mega Man Legends and Legend of Spyro at a yard sale today for $2 each. MML has just the disc and back insert (no manual) and Spyro was disc only, both scratched to hell but they work. I guess it was still a good deal.

I just got a NES and 1 controller today for about 10 dollars at a thrift store. I don't really have an NES but I do have a Famicom with an adapter which I had been using to play NES games. It was a bit dirty till I cleaned it up. However, I found out that it has a replacement 72 pin connection (it said NES with new connection) and not the original. It doesn't work 100% as it seems to have been damaged so I'll have to fix it.

Still, can't beat that and I might keep it or sell it on eBay once I fix it.

Try playing the games without pushing the cartridge down.

Just slide it in...

For a sec I was thinking of adding Kosheen with Slip 'n Slide.

But this is even better...

Yeah, well if I do that with no matter what happens I get the blinking light and it flickers. Only when I push the cartridge into the slot very carefully by doing it side to side and push down does it work. It doesn't matter what game I do, it does the same thing.

Maybe not installed correctly? There is a detent underneath the PCB that has to be cleared. Only a few screws to pop the cover, worth a look. There are also "bend" the pins repair, meticulous but does not cost anything.

First of all, be lucky you got it at that price if you can get it to work. Too many cheap f***s try to sell them for 50 bucks.

Anyways, have you tried multiple games? Inserted in and out? Correct region? Clean? Correct cords?

After I opened it up and cleaned the connection it started to work a lot better. I still have to push it down to get it to play but I can just shove it into the NES and it will work most of the time. There is only a number of games it doesn't work very well at all (I almost have to play around with it) which is mostly those unlicensed Tengen games.
