I've never seen the inside of an NES cartridge before, but my first reaction was...
..That's it?!?
That HUGE ASS cartridge just for that small game chip?!? What a let down.

This system works much better than the solutions that are sold. So far, this method has worked for me on all of the games I've cleaned. I never would have thought to use an eraser... but it damn sure works! Thanks!

When I was a kid my dad's friend told me to use an eraser on the pins. That sounded like a dumb idea and I didn't want to do it but he told me if it didn't work then he would replace the game. I don't know if it was a bad eraser or what but it didn't work AND HE DIDN'T REPLACE IT. Fucking asshole. Being a kid sucked.

@libraalbert91 YOU WIN!

@AJxn3 yea i know right. but why did they have such a huge cartrage with a small chip.
-
by the way...they are not called "gamebit screws" thy are Torx
-
What if you get a flashing Gold screen?
-
@AJxn3 i knowa right. It looks like a really big GBA game lol
-
8-Bit is enough.

I have the screwdriver to open these up.
For me it was E, definitely none of the above.
Super easy to find for a low price.

I'm always a big fan of natural solutions. I do find that scrubbing with isopropanol does not end up getting -all- the grime off, so I'm interested in trying the eraser. Would it maybe make more sense to use a can of compressed air to blow the eraser pieces off?
Secondly, what are your thoughts on a polishing wheel? I see no reason it might not work.

did you do LSD first? some old NES games are made with flathead screws, but for the most part they've got those gamebit screws.
