I love watching people I don't know fixing stuff I know nothing about!!
-
I like how you're thinking "I hope there's something majorly wrong with these games". The rest of us are just crossing our fingers hoping to see a logo. 😂😂
-
To be fair even though you consider it not as exciting since it’s mainly cleaning - it’s still interesting to see what people consider broken and how easy it is to fix them. Might lead to a few more people trying to fix their own cartridges or picking up some good deals on retro games that just need a bit of IPA
-
On the Gameshark I would super glue it, let the glue dry then bolster the areas that need support with UV resin. I use this often at work for small parts.
-
I love that you take so much e-waste and old classic games and make them usable. It's like preserving history.
-
Thanks for teaching people how to handle these retro games. Not many people have the knowledge. You also make it pretty simple to understand.
-
7:30 that "sw" written on the Donkey Kong cartridge... Try some isopropyl alcohol to remove it. Fun fact: the only thing that makes permanent marker permanent is the the solvent is alcohol and not water. 💖🌞
-
Playing the Star theme for checking the pins was a nice touch. If you edit that again and find a loose one, I instantly think of a death/lost life sound effect for that problem.
-
This Video inspired me to take another look at my non functional Diddy Kong Racing Cartridge. While cleaning it I spottet a solder point that didn't have any material on it. So I took my soldering iron and fixed this. Now I have a fully functional Game :D Bought it at a flea market for 7 Euros so good deal In the long run I guess.
-
@TronicsFix the GameShark should be repairable with a paper clip made out of metal and a solder iron. Just bend a few "waves" into the paper clip and melt it into the plastic where the cracks are with the solder iron. I already repaired a few things made out of plastic which weren't glueable.
-
7:40 holy crap that transition is soooooo smooth ! Right hand so on point between the 2 shots it almost looks like a glitch
-
Probably one of my favorite videos you've made! Great photos. Always fun seeing a small glimpse of your earlier years.
-
“84 hours… that’s a lot” Them are ROOKIE numbers 😂
-
Love the classic Mario music while checking the pins good touch. I think your doing a great job on your videos 👍
-
A normal toothbrush is also very good at cleaning the contacts on 3ds games. At least it’s something I have had great success with. A stiff bristle brush seems to be just abrasive enough to get most corrosion off using nothing but alcohol.
-
That’s Brasso in Super Mario 64. It’s abrasive and they probably used it regularly which is why it took off the gold plating and caked up on the inside.
-
My ocd kicks in aggressively every time you poke the cartridges with your metal picking tool 😂😆. I have to laugh at myself for it. I still enjoy the repair and cleaning videos you do.
-
Watching you turn on that TMNT SNES game really hit long lost memories of playing that game with old friends. Thank you.
-
For the game genie I would use UV resin to fix and reinforce the sides of the broken plastic, it would work wonders if there is enough space for a little reinforcement
