  • I picked up a box of "Broken/for Parts" stuff on eBay. In this video I do a quick test on it all, see what actually might be broken, what might just need cleaning. In all, this cost me about $40 Canadian.

    The controller with the Pause mapped to the B button could have been used in a computer software to map it for an emulator and or Different control scheme would recommend getting an adapter and seeing if someone did switch the mapping around for the controller. Also amazing find on killer instinct.

    I'm 28 and I still have my original super Nintendo from 1995

    for the NES, boil the 72 pin adapter for 10 minutes, then run 99% iso alcohol and after that put wd40 electrical connector cleaner.......then for the game, open it using a game bit , then use .0000 steel wool to rub the connectors, then use 99& iso alcohol to clean it and then wd-40 electrical connector clear on the connectors....will work flawlessly every time

    Something really cool to have would be a Gameboy adapter for the gamecube. It's my favorite way to play GB/GBA games

    • @RetroRepairs
      @RetroRepairs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      BaileyTeaVee I want to get one. The actual players are pretty cheap, but the problem is the disc is quite expensive.

    Hi, I have a Commodore 64 cartridge that I need to open up to clean - but the screws on the case are stuck - I forget if rusted or threads broke but couldn't get it open. Any advice?

  • @burntsn0w
    @burntsn0w 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    On the NES when the game boots but it's still flashing what works for me is if I mash the reset button and then it usually stays on

  • @thebeardedduck69
    @thebeardedduck69 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can use an Nintendo DS lite for Gameboy Advance cartridges.

  • @s1nRG

    You should get one DS Lite for GBA stuff and maybe some DS stuff too. They are cheap nowadays.

    • @RetroRepairs

      xX_SpeedyScout_Xx keeping an eye open for a deal on one

    • @broglang9102
      @broglang9102 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Does a regular ds play gba games, ir just the ds lite?

  • @eltigreandthewalrus
    @eltigreandthewalrus 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You should add WD40 to a Q-tip and go over the pins of the cartridge after the alcohol drys.

  • @JohnGotts

    Get a DS Lite from eBay. They play GBA games. Then go to my teardown on ifixit.com for repair advice.

    @DvdXploitr 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    i'm actually surprised you got a broken NES controller....those things typically never break! They were built to last. I found a controller laying out on a gravel road that had been run over several times and it still worked

    • @RetroRepairs
      @RetroRepairs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      DvdXploitr yeah, it's definitely an odd one. One of these days I'll get around to opening it and finding out what's wrong

  • @fromthedepthsofreddit278

    disable the lock out chip in your nintendo i did and now my nintendo works really good the first or second time

    • @RetroRepairs
      @RetroRepairs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Usually look for "Nintendo for parts", or not working, or broken. They're not always there, sometimes have to just get lucky

  • @Censorshift
    @Censorshift 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Untested and not working, how do they know it works without testing

    • @corackadile
      @corackadile 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sometimes they label as not working for an "as is" listing, in case it really doesn't work.

  • @blkastro7893
    @blkastro7893 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why dont you clip the chip so it won't blink. Mine turns on every time

    • @RetroRepairs
      @RetroRepairs  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A couple reasons. First, if possible id prefer to not make modifications if not necessary. Second, if I'm testing or cleaning a cartridge, i want to know that it should work on any working system, not just one with the lockout chip disabled.

    • @blkastro7893

    • @RetroRepairs
      @RetroRepairs  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      What's the problem with it?

    • @bencoleman7345
      @bencoleman7345 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @retrorepairs it has a cracked shell and no other problems

    • @RetroRepairs
      @RetroRepairs  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Shell may or may not be fixable, there are replacement shells that you can buy, then just transfer the internals over.

    • @bencoleman7345

    hit reset when it blinks

    • @RetroRepairs
      @RetroRepairs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately doesn't always work. Blinking red light is super common on NES systems, it almost always just means it's not getting good contact with the game properly.

    • @seantullo5857
      @seantullo5857 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      RetroRepairs im going to disagree if you hit that reset button the game would stop restarting
