That’s one reason I’ve ordered a few titles from PlayAsia recently. For example, the NTSC switch edition of the Metal Gear Solid collection requires downloading the titles. With the PlayAsia edition, lo and behold- everything is on the card, and multiple languages to boot.

These older consoles are simple repairs. Start with replacing the capacitors on the board. If that doesn’t do it, you can find the problematic component with a multimeter

I’m still salty that 3 was canceled out of spite.

Hi, I do console repairs and I’ve done a metric ton of NES. If that 72 pin connector was after market, it will probably wreck your games. If you still have your old connector, or if you can buy a used OEM connector, do the following:

get at least 70 percent iso alcohol and a toothbrush and scrub the connector pins. Next, take the old connector, boil it in water for half an hour and let it cool. Reinstall and test. Don’t be afraid to hit the pins with iso again.

This will save the vast majority of oem connectors, and your games will thank you.

My oldest reddit account was 13 or 14 years old. I remember when reddit would go down several times a week. Growing pains are just part of the deal!

The sooner, the better. Failed caps can leak and cause much more severe damage.

I’m having the opposite feeling. I also mod a sub of that size. The thought has crossed my mind to make that community here, sticky a thread in the sub, turn off automod, sign out, and let nature do the rest.

There aren’t any karma bots yet. No one is making useless comments like “this.” The conversations are civil. I’m loving this community!
