- My friend Colby sent me a box of games his buddy got at an Estate Sale that were super dirty. He didnt have a N64 to test them and didnt want to just get rid of them, so he sent them to me so I can try and bring them back to life.

Glad you got them to work bud!! I figured sending them to you would be the best bet glad you were able to get a few of them to work ! ~Colby
Thanks again for sending them out. I have't completely given up on them yet, I got lots of tips from the video so we shall see
I saw your car outside my local library today and thought it was awesome so I decided to look you up. The blue shell is great lol. Good work on the games!
thanks so much. I was there for the trade night event ALGO, video will be up tomorrow on that
5:11 F to a blockbuster sticker.
I love getting carts with those.
looking back on it I should have left it on ha. Early youtube retro game collecting is was all about cleaning the carts.
I feel now leaving these stickers on adds to the nostalgia and past
The manual for that Strawberry Shortcake game actually smells like strawberries. How I know this is I needed a replacement case for my Dirge of Cerberus and that was the cheapest I could fine. Now my Dirge of Cerberus smells like happy.
omg thats pretty neat that they went the extra effort to make it smell like that
I kept feeling like I needed to wash my hands while watching this hahah
ughhhh I know it. I had to shower twice after the video ha
Glad you got the Doom64 working. That is one I need to add to the collection myself sometime. It is pretty funny that you got the worse looking one to work (bomberman)
yeah I was like Bomberman is def toast ha, and it worked ha
Haha. That Bring Me Joy-Con in the background? Love these cleaning videos. I too recently just got a bunch of N64 games I gotta clean. They aren't as good as these ones though. Haha
you found the Bring Me Joy-Con hidden easter egg ha.
yeah I'm going to try everyones suggestions and see if I can get the rest to work
Nice vid Russ!! I want an N64 bad but ive been waiting for the N64 classic or virtual console... Both seem to not be happening. LOL
thanks I got this one a long time ago. Short story I actually sold my n64 and all my games to buy a PS4 after I played the game Until Dawn at a friends house.
Its my least favorite Nintendo system I say.
This one got traded into the game shop when I worked there and they couldn't get it to work so the custom said you can just have it. It has some cracks on it, but it totally works. I just need to find a matching controller
If a game is real bad, I like using a little braso and a scotch-brite pad (one of the red ones, but green will work too) and it cleans them like a boss.
Do not use Brasso, use Brite Boy. Brasso is an abrasive, Brite Boy is not. Also, Brite Boy does not leave the residue behind that Brasso does.
@@RoXolid I've used brasso for years and it's worked perfectly fine. You just have to clean it with IPA and you'll be ok.
@@The90sAreRad Brasso is an abrasive, meaning that as you use it you are removing more and more of the pin. It also leaves a chalky residue behind, even if you don't see it it is there. For years I have raced RC cars and trucks featuring motors you can't open to clean and service. We tried Brasso and what we found was that it inhibited current flow, reducing RPM, torque and power in the motors. We also saw an increase in wear between the motor's commutator and brushes and excessive pitting. When we discovered Brite Boy we found that it cleaned the brass that made up the commutator better, it flushed out of the motors better, and we saw performance was either maintained OR improved.
dropping the RC car knowledge. , where do I even find Brite Boy. To amazon !!

Wow, Russ that Bomberman is wasted! Haha. Looks like it was in a Swamp lol!
😄👍
I found it fitting though that Bomberman, looks like it got hit by a bomb ha
Hurts me man that’s the best bomberman game on the console lol greatest soundtrack’s too
Good content! keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
I think u may be able to get smash and banjo to work, try taking apart and using brass or brite boy on pins with 1up card
Brite Boy is the bomb!
thanks for the tip. yes I'm not giving up just yet
Thanks for featuring me😍😍😍 sooo cool to see that man
you got it man, I was like mmmm who can I put on in the background while I work ha
It physically hurt me watching you slam the games into the console lol
figured cleaning them wasn't working, lets use some force 🤷♂️
I was rooting for you there mate!
Shame you couldn’t get them all working.
I know I even went back a few times off camera to try and get one to fire up ha. I'm sure I can get them eventually working. These carts can take a beating
They have a smell to them 😂🤣
The risk when getting dirty carts in
yeah it was a weird funk, you can smell them on Saturday when you come over ha
I’ll take the super smash bro’s and banjo! Keep up the great content Russ!
I haven't lost hope just yet on those babies ha. Thanks for watching
You really blew into that cartridge, ouch
where do you buy these games?
a viewer sent me the games to see if I could fix them because he thought it would make for a fun video
Damn those poor games had it rough. Glad you got 2 if them to work tho.
yeah at least some of them worked ha
This episode of Russ's repairs brought to you by snuggle fabric dryer sheets 😄, who treats their games like that
lol At least they will smell good now ha
Alcohol wont cut it. Use brasso then clean that off with iso :) if that doesnt work use a multimeter and check for damaged traces ;)
yeah I used some 500 girt sand paper on some, and the traces looked fine, but I'll have my friend double check for me
@@RussLyman I bet they can save them n64 seem to have trace damage often so hope you can salvage them :) another plan is swap the chips into cheaper games possibly :)
Check the traces on the board
This is my first Russ vid in months also as a side note the not working games have broken traces more then likely the cause of why they didn't work at all
thanks for swinging back to the channel. I'm going to try and examine them a little more and show a few friends to see if we can get some life into them
For some reason alcohol alone isn’t enough for some n64 games I had better luck with electronic contact cleaner
yeah I'm going to try a few more tips and see if I can get them working. I even used some 500 grit sand paper on a few and no luck
I recommend you try brassso to clean the pins
Nice I will give it a try and see if that works
Also clean off the brasso with rubbing alcohol because brasso leaves residue
Darn! Can’t save them all!
Ain't that the truth ha
Just give it more time to dry and you should be golden with banjo tooie
thanks for the tip, I'll have to give it another go
Great video Russ! 2 out of 5 isn't bad, all things considered! They looked like they smelled! Keep up the great content brother! 😀👍
Thanks so much, yeah they were plenty of dirty and lots of Rust on those RF shields on the inside. Thanks for watching
Gnarly!
yeah those games were gross
Who smacks a game and then pounds it into the system? You wonder why the banjo game isnt working. You're rough with all this classic stuff, seems like you have zero care with straight up spraying the entire cartridge board, rubbing like crazy with a towel, using erasers like its good idea, all you did was half a$$ rough clean everything and handled nothing with care. Anyone watching this video i recommend not doing what this guy did cause you'll end up just ruining your stuff
Appreciate the feedback. My intent was more of entertainment over instructional and how to clean your games 🤷♂️
@@RussLyman yeah no offense but i was thinking all of this. There is a good chance you ruined the games tbh
I think you may be a bit too heavy handed in the cleaning process. Spraying directly onto the boards and scrubbing it so rough may have actually damaged them further
that certainly could be true. Seeing the condition they were in and I tested them before and no luck getting them to work, I figured "Well can't break them more" 🤷♂️
Alcohol works as a cleaner ?
rubbing alcohol yes. And it evaporates quickly to
Those games can be saved u might need to solder some n that banging with ur hand I wouldn’t recommend
thanks for the comment. Unfortunately this video is 4 years old and these games are long gone
I live N64 I might get it again
it certainly has some great games on it
@@RussLyman that is true
And you were rubbing alcohol on the cover art😑😑jeeez
You're dirty ;) How you doin'?
Also, the 1Up Cards for the Gameboy make cleaning N64 Carts so much easier!
The first time I used the card, I forgot to wet it lol, it sure was a tight fit
Russ, whatcha cleaning?
scrub a dub dub
Hey Russ love the videos. Don't give up. Check out John Riggs TH-cam channel his "Open Cart Surgery" videos will give you a lot of great tips and tricks. The dude is a pro. Since I've watched his videos I haven't found a cart I can't get running. Thanks again Russ. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I met John a few times when I visit Portland. Great guy. I'll def give them another shot. I have to get Smash Bros to Work !!!
Russ I tried to get John to take my Zelda cartridge but I think it got lost in the sea of messages, would you be interested in trying to get it working? I can send it to you if you dm me on Twitter or Instagram, or discord
seems like using real sandpaper would help more....
good tip John I actually used some off camera and well there was a fast shot I left in here. I had 500 grit paper I was using and no luck
@@RussLyman well shit.... water had to get in those games....
