Weird N64 issues

[RCBH928]

Ok I went through the trouble of buying RE2 cartridge for my N64 . I checked if it was working and it was . Now couple months later , I turned the cartridge on and and as I was playing around with the options ..... the game amazingly restarts...

so I thought I hit some sort of a wrong button. I tried to play it again and some how it just keeps restarting, sometimes before the menu screen , sometimes during the option screen, some time during the cgi intro . I never faced such issue all my life with any cartridge based system.

I tried 2 others cartridges that I cleaned well, did not work at all. I then tried Star Wars Shadow of the Empire and the game played well I even played some of the first level. No issues what so ever,

Can any one help or explain ?

if it helps I am playing in a Samsung smart TV and the RE2 issues started happening when I chose control option to be in first person though I am not sure how that created the issue

But did you clean the system slot?

Clean the carts AND the console's cart sot.

This is just a random thought.

But what if the jumper pak is damaged?

Have you checked that?

Have you checked that?

Or even simpler, not fully set.

I did clean the cartridges , and I did clean the cartridge slot like couple months ago, not sure if it needs another cleaning .

The jump pack never gave me problems before , i played about 90% of Perfect Dark on it. Also the jump pack shouldnt have been tempered with as no one touches thos system except me.

I will try to clean everything again . I hope the cartridge is not damaged within inside the game
