NES doesn't play NES games anymore
Hello everyone,
A few days ago I got my first unlicensed NES game. I tried it out, and it worked just fine. However, this is the only game that will work normally in my NES now. Every other game wont play or has corrupted graphics, unless I start playing with the tray by moving it up and down and hold it in the middle. So if anyone knows what might be te problem, comment here.

you use this?
Wow.....
I'm speechless and intrigued at the same time. I kinda want one.
Just take your NES apart and give it a really good cleaning. Get a toothbrush and some brasso and scrub those contacts. I've been able to fix every NES I have come across this way unless it had a fried chip somewhere.
Lord Voultar would like a word with you.

Well I don't leave the brasso in it. Geez.....
I clean it thouroghly with 99% rubbing alcohol afterwards. C'mon man, I'm not a newb.
It's hard to describe, but it smells like when you get your nose busted, and you smell the iron from your blood and it doesn't go away. If that makes sense.
The people who say you shouldn't use it when in response to someone who does, seem to think people use it on a regular basis to continuously clean their games. But it is not usually the case though (I will get to the "not usually" part in a bit). Actually, most people who use Brasso properly will use it initially only one time when they first acquire an especially dirty game that alcohol cannot sufficiently clean to working order. Its used sparingly and gently, then cleaned off with Iso alcohol before playing and that WILL BE IT for ever needing Brasso again on that game. For the most part aside from particular games where the gold finish of the contacts might have already been severely worn off this is perfectly safe. I have personally done this for years and all my games still work perfectly.
As for the "not usually" thing, sadly there are some misinformed people out there that somehow got the notion that its OK to use Brasso on a regular basis to clean the same games over and over with. THAT is the big no-no. I have actually bought game lots several times in the past and when I opened the games for inspection/cleaning there was caked up amounts of Brasso on the contacts. Usually mortiified, I quickly clean them off with Iso and believe it or not they all still worked so far. Honestly I think you have to use a ton of Brasso recurring over long periods of time to kill these games.
As for the topic of cleaning 72 pin connectors, I've tried several methods and what I find works best for me is to first bend up the pins to original tension position, then clean with Brasso and then Iso on an old toothbrush. After that I will scrub with dish washing liquid then rinse thoroughly with hot water until they look shiny and new and that seems to always do the trick. I tried just boiling them but it has not realy worked in my case. Might get the games to load a bit more often but it never gets it back to a "first time every time" working state like my method does.
you use this?
Why would anyone ever want to use this?!?
because...

To kill their NES of course. Why else?

sweet bejesus. you know, when I pick up a new console the first thing i do is troll though the prevoius owners metadata and see all of his stuff. stats, game saves, pron views. if you're selling off yr console, do yourself a favor and wipe it clean with the console killer.

Because you touch yourself at night tout the HDMI NES too much.
It was a one-off experiment to see if a cart could overload an NES and fry it. It was only used to kill garbage NES boards and a Retron 1.

Well that HD Kit is the best way to play NES games.
Also, that makes much more sense now.

For some.
I would love to know how it works. Like how exactly will it fry the NES. I bet there are some systems out there it can't fry. Shall we try to find one? "There can only be one" - Highlander
Well, it can't fry an SNES, because it won't fit in the connector. Same for Ataris, Turbografx, etc. It will fry just about any NES or NES clone, and probably a Famicom if you use an adapter.
K3VBOT was cagey about sharing details, as he didn't want people to duplicate it, but it basically acts as a stun gun.
and yeah, it floods the system with 5V instead of whatever the correct voltage is.
also, who's recommending a HD kit? avs, bro. that's yr answer.

Well why would you want to play anything else?!?
Thanks for the help, I ended up taking it appart and clean it really good and it works just fine now.
Told ya! Now enjoy some retro gaming goodness.

Because the HDMI NES (and any NES) doesn't do four player Famicom games, among other shortcomings. There's no one perfect solution, we all gravitate towards what we want.
there's a thread... search for it. just like search for replacing 72 pin connector. /salt

It was me. I don’t know why anyone would want to play NES in HD and now have full HD.

With a 4K TV it doesn't matter. Both 720p and 1080p scale the same. Also, 99% of people wouldn't see the difference between a 720 to 1080 scaling and a 1080 source.

Absolutely.
