Almost impossible.

Can you get in to basic just fine?

If so, you probably have a grom port issue - dirty, bad solder joint, etc.

I clean my grom port, by doubling over a business card, spraying a bit of deoxit on it and inserting that in to the grom port a couple of times.

The cartridge edges can be cleaned the same way by hitting a lint free q-tip with deoxit and rubbing the fingers.

I had to remove the port from the main board and clean it with a toothbrush and alot of  deoxit but that did the trick. Now i can introduce my 5y to my childhood computer games like Parsec and Soccer.

 

Thanks alot for the help!

All my games just give me a blank or blue screen when i boot. Could it all be the game cartridges?
