I'm gonna guess that the universe explodes, which is unfortunate, since it would take both of these awesome mods with it...

"do you have to blow on it to make it work?"

Any younger readers who dont realise the true meaning of this sentence will get almost as much enjoyment from those of us who do. Not too young mind, else they'd be even more confounded.

Way to go with multi-faceted contextual humour Joystiq, intended or no. :D

You have to blow on it, then blow really hard inside the NES. If that doesn't work...well...you're screwed.


Ahhh those were the days...those were the days....

if that doesnt work, USE GAME GENIE


i cant believe no one knows about this?


Throw the game in a game genie, run it through that and you will NEVER have to blow in it again. It works every time i tried. It was my failsafe method.

90% of the time, it works EVERY time ;)


seriously though...ive got em

i works

Funny part was back then, in the user manual it said not to blow on the cart.

then you have to slam the cartridge holder down really hard, That is the only way my NES would play games for like 2 years before it finally crapped out.

Hold the phone...there was an NES game genie? I had the SNES game genie, but I never knew there was an NES version. Game genie was awesome, as was gameshark on the N64 (same company?). It's a bit sad that online play has basically destroyed the exploit market, since noone is going to sell a product that would get people banned, and them sued (well...modchips could do the same thing I guess, but there has never been a community of modders that do crap like turning on god mode in Ninja Gaiden II or something. Not that I have a modded 360 or PS3 or anything. Not risking my expensive PS3, or my legitimate gamerscore on XBL)

Game Genie was made by Galoob (same folks that made Micro Machines, woo!), GameShark was originally made by Interact*, but then sold the brand name to Mad Catz when they went bankrupt.


*NOTE: Actually, GameSharks were actually rebranded (Pro) Action Replays. At the time, Datel didn't have an American branch (just European), so Interact got the rights from them to distribute them in America under the GameShark name.

"Game genie was awesome, as was gameshark on the N64 (same company?)."

The company that made Game Genie actually thought gaming was going to die out again after the SNES/Genesis era so they decided not to make another one. :P Bad idea.

"We just had a third thought: what happens when you connect it to this portable NES?"

It becomes a Wii of course.


Sorry, couldn't help it.

Can't wait for the day when someone makes a handheld Neo Geo out of a MVS cart.

I totally need one for my collection! I tore apart a Power Joy for it's NOAC but became totally overwhelmed and gave up. It is always cool to see someone other than Ben Heck make one of these.

Just think, one day you'll be able to squeeze a PS3, 360 or (today's standards) high end PC into something that big.
