I always found that if you kept the cart in one place and kept hitting reset until the game worked that eventually the game would either crash or start displaying a lot of glitches. Wiggling the cart while reseting usually makes all the "problem games" work for as long as needed though.

It's all a matter of having clean(or atleast partially clean) connectors on the cart and getting the game to connect in the perfect place on the system.

I've heard that if you clean the connecters on the nes unit itself that it raises the chances of a game working with little to no "tweaking". You can buy carts made to clean the nes, but they really seem to need the cleaning solution they originally came with. I have a similar cart made in the early 90's but even with large amounts of alcohol on the cart it doesn't seem to remove much if anything.

One of these days I need to open one of my trouble nes's(I've got way too many semi working nes units) and see if cleaing the unit really helps as much as some people claim.

" Jedediah Johnson, the console costs $200, and yes, it is pretty neat when 7,000 classic title come to a portable, I mean, I'm sure you were probably jumping up and down when you heard mario cart was coming to the NDS, and that is just one game, not 7,000."

There is no way the entire ps1 library will be supported by this emulator. Not only will it be a pain to obtain the licences for the majority of ps1 titles, the emulator will not work in the same way as one of the better snes or nes emulators(or Nintendo's virtual console). In order to get any ps1 game(besides the most basic) to run through software emulation on the psp's limited hardware sony will most likely have to make a "patch fix" for each game. Whoever ends up paying to create this fix will only do so if they are 100% it will make them some money, so we'll be lucky if there are 100 games available on through this service.

Also, besides the few people who missed out completly on the ps1 who will buy the system just for the emulator? If you haven't bought a psp yet it's probably because you either don't have the money or have yet to see an interesting game released on the psp(my case). Ps1 emulation would be nice, but I don't see it having much of an effect on sales until someone starts putting out quality psp titles.
