  1. Most cartridge crud is from little cruddy fingers handling the carts. A water-based cleaner really works best. I prefer to use an aerosol can of window cleaner (you can get these at any dollar store) on NES carts to clean most of the light spots of Yoo-Hoo or whatever crud is on those labels.

     

    Gees, dont use Windex---my friend Buddy Blevens tried to use that and it destroyed his artrages---plus on top of that he used on my ex's copy of Grand Theft Auto (vice city) that i bought him and it hasnt worked right sence then. icon_punch.gif

     

    Just use rubbing alcahol, cotton balls, and q-tips cwm10.gif


  2. For the most part' date=' however' date=' emulation is no substitute for the original. Playing 2600 games on a Pentium IV with a snazzy joystick seems wrong somehow.[/quote'']

     

    That or using the keyboard to play Boxing or using a mouse on Kaboom!

     

    Try using a touchpad on a laptop! :D

  3. Though i think the rule for Emulaters are stupid in teh first place--i'll just add in my 2 cents even if i will be hated for it or not

     

    If you can break the law and get away with it--do it!

     

    Emulaters are a way to have fun---and there is a loop hole that says you can use things 'for your own entertainment' so longa s ya dont mass produce it. sre-you can mas produce the games if you have the equipment but thats asking for trubble. Emulaters are a way of self-entertainment. So i dont follow that illigal bull that they posted up.

     

    Besides, if i do get caught i can have the exuse that "i do have the games, but they were stolen from me or i lost them in the fire of my last house"

  4. did you know...

     

    In the 1960’s, a computer with the power of a Genesis would have filled a large room and would have cost about half a million dollars. And because microchips were not yet available, a Sonic 2 game would have come on about 300,000 punch cards and would have taken about 15 hours to load into the computer.

     

    Not that all that effort would have done any good anyway. Because those old mainframes did not have joysticks or visual displays, the best you could do was to type in directions from the keyboard (like, “Sonic runs 190 pixels to the right, then jumps 30 pixels high and 20 pixels across”) and then wait while the computer printed out the results, one painstaking frame after another”
