You of all people should buy a can of contact cleaner. I know I keep going on about it, but it cleans everything! Plus you're actually dealing with electronic contacts. :D

Lol, yeah maybe I should. If I clean contacts at all it's usually with a toothbrush and maybe some 90% rubbing alcohol. The contact cleaner is suppose to be better, but isn't it kind of expensive?

I have the 13 oz can of this brand which cost me $5 years ago. I use it all the time and just had to get a new can which was $5.20 this time. Apparently there's an extra strength version too, but I have the regular one.

For myself, no. But if you'd like a copy made for yourself, I'm sure we could arrange that.



I think I found some of my Star Fox 2 carts up on eBay...

Very disheartening and IMHO both of them have dishonest descriptions since they make them sound like official carts. Especially the one saying the save battery still works. Of course it does, I'm sure you put a new battery in it when you made it a month ago. :(

This sucks, you need to start putting a Repro indicator on those stickers to keep this to a minimum.

I was gonna post this as well, but forgot. One of them went for around $190 I think 2 or 3 weeks ago. Of course it's possible some of them could have been made by someone else.

Wait a minute one of those links is from an Issacsquared who is one of our forum members.....

I say that you give him a PM Ziggy and get this sorted out.

Wow that is really disappointing that someone flipped one of your repro carts on eBay. I'm speechless really.

Personally, I've been enjoying the Starfox 2 copy that you made for me, and if you ever were to see mine up for auction you would know it was mine since it has that badass custom label you created for me! :lol:
