Frequently Asked Questions
How to clean N64 games properly?
We recommend cleaning the metal pins on all game carts with Isopropyl Alcohol. This cleaning solvent will take away the years of corrosion and allow the games to boot more reliably. You can simply spray on some liquid isopropyl alcohol and rub the game cart pins with a cotton bud. Black tarnish will come off leaving the pins sparkling clean and shiny.
Can I blow on my game carts to get them to boot?
Well, yes you can, but we do not recommend it. The moisture from your breath lands on the pins and will make contact with the cart slot inside your console. This will temporarily make an electrical connection and allow the game to boot, but all you are doing is adding to the problem and making more corrosion grow on the pins. The moisture will form more corrosion and the whole problem gets worse over time. Instead, just clean the games properly with isopropyl alcohol as mentioned above.
