Side Loader or Front Loader?

[Atari Master]

Me an Urbersaurus are fighting. He says the NES is a side loader and I say it's a front loader!

 

Who is right?

[Albert]

It's a front loader. It's like your car, where's the engine? It's in the front (well, usually)!! Where are the doors? On the sides!

It's a side dammit! The front is a side!

[Atari Master]

Thought so! He still dosn't belive me!

[Albert]

It's a side dammit! The front is a side!

 

Okay, you're both right to a certain extent, but I've never heard anyone call the NES a side loader.

[Atari Master]

Same here. He knows nothing about gaming! LOL

Aren't there two versions....

 

A top loader and a front loader?

 

 

 

The snes I would consider a top loader, maybe that's how I'm confused.

[Atari Master]

Yeah, but no side loader.

If you are using car analogies....then here's mine...

 

When you plug your car in (like in the winter time) the battery is located in the front of the car.

 

So where the Nintendo hooks in it should be called THE FRONT.

 

Where you actually insert the cartridge should be THE BACK

 

or on a car it would be like putting shit in THE TRUNK

 

So they should call it a:

 

BACK LOADER

Yeah, but some cars have the trunk up front and the engine in the back.

I've never seen any that have the engine or trunk mounted above the passenger

Well, ya see, this is what I think happened-*runs*

[Atari Master]

It loads from the front of the system so it's a front loader.

I have a side loader which I bought several months ago. It's already giving me those flashing screen problems.

 

Time to put that cleaning kit to good use I suppose.

[ubersaurus]

Well by that thinking the intellivision is a right loader, because it loads from the right side.

[Atari Master]

And the NES loads from the front!

 

Just get a new Pin connecter Adrian. They make the NES work like new.

[Nukey Shay]

Actually, my Nes that's a front-side-whatsis loader has a small expansion port on the underside. Does that mean that it's a bottom-feeder too?! Or is this just where they remove the poo from baby Nes's??

 

As far as the flashing screen, I just give it a good kick on the side (the one that has the a/v jacks--YES, that's the SIDE).

I suggest you do not beat on anything. That just runs the risk of busting something else (not that Nintendos are too terrnything...but I prefer not to intentionaly inflict harsh forces on my electronics.)

 

the blinking has nothing to do with the A/V outputs or RF output. It has to do with the Cartridge port's pins either being excesivly dirty or over-flexed.

 

I find that when I have problems of the blinking/blank/scrambled kind can be fixed by a good cleaning. I have already said how I do it in a prior post.

Now, on the topic at hand.... I have never heard/seen it refered to as a "side-loader". I've always called it a "front-loader" as long as I've known there was a top-loader.
