@pokesph Windex DOES work..... As well as Isoproply Alchohal, Ammonia no. Ive tried windex and it does work
-
does this apply to genesis cartridges too?
-
@MrToystory2000 Oh that is where I put that.

@AkashaandAlucard I believe that games say that so that people end up going out and buy expensive game cleaners. Alcohol has been proven to work well.
-
@pokesph Games themselves say don't use alcahol. You fail. Not him.

i found some crusty ketchup in one of my cartridges

I use a very simple formula of (1) Disassemble the cart (2) Apply thin layer of Weiman Glass Stove Top Cleaner w/ Q-Tip -- Let it dry to crust (3) Spray combo simple green w/ water (70/30) on new Q-Tip (4) Rebuff and Re-dry the board w/ the last Q-tip! Will shine like new and play EVERYTIME LIKE NEW! Takes some time but well WORTH IT!

You should use alcohol because it evaporates and unlike the window cleaner it WON'T leave a residue which will damage the cartridge.
If cleaning isn't enough use a pencil eraser. It will remove the corrosion as well as sandpaper. But unlike sandpaper it won't remove the metal of the contacts.

Use ONLY Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning electronics (unless you can get some trichlorotrifluoroethane based sprays).
Windex? No way.. ammonia on your connectors = BAD.
Sorry due, you are FAIL!
