I think that I've found the culprit of my problem. I will definitely hold on to ApolloBoy's contact details in case the problem persists. Thanks for the suggestion NinjaWarrior!

I believe that I've figured this out. Despite my 72-pin connector looking like it's brand new, the issue is related to it. I was loading up various games and Donkey Kong Classics fired right up with full sound. After putting another game in and out about 10 times, sure enough it fired up with sound too. I'll report back when my replacement connector arrives to verify this.

I'm looking for a NES motherboard in excellent working condition. I would pay $10-15 plus economy USPS shipping. I'm in the US.

My front loader NES plays games and outputs perfect video, but the audio doesn't work (via RF or RCA). It just produces a hiss, and a pop when the unit is turned on. I I've tried jumping from CPU pin 1 and 2 to an RCA cable and it's the same, as if the system itself isn't producing an audio signal. I have everything hooked up correctly, and have tried various cables and devices (Stereo, TV) with the same result. I've contacted a few repair services, but they're all priced above the cost of replacement. That seems like a shame since the motherboard, etc look practically like new. Could anyone here fix my audio problem for less than the cost of replacement?

Please PM me if you have one for sale. I'd love to buy one that's pre-modded with RCA or compoenent hookups.

My NES produces perfect video but no audio. All I get is a static hiss, and a pop when it turns on. I've tried jumping from CPU pin 1 and 2 to an RCA cable and it's the same, as if the system itself isn't producing an audio signal. I have everything hooked up correctly, and have tried various cables and devices (Stereo, TV) with the same result. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That's a great idea--I'll have to check those out!

This is a question for you emulator gamers with large collections of controllers and USB adapters. I have 20+ classic controllers that I've restored, spanning most generations, along with heaps of USB adapters. I currently keep them all in drawers and just pull them out as needed. Do you have any unique ways of storing/displaying your controller collections?
