Well thanks for the info everyone, just took it apart, about to clean the top cover, await my first game to arrive from eBay (should be here by tuesday), test, then probably off to Craigslist, ill make sure to carry money when i go treasure hunting in my neighborhood. I'm still kicking myself for not having the lousy 5 dollars on me to get Secret of Mana on snes still sealed in plastic in the box at this mom and pop pawn shop i stopped at, was gone when i came back the next weekend -.- .
Happy Gaming, and glad to find this place btw, now i have a reference point when i find hidden gems in dusty old boxes.
