O2 Cart cleaning - suggestions?

[kirin jensen]

Ok, I've got a copy of KC Munchkin from Goodwill that's a little glitchy (the wrong joystick runs the game and some of the keyboard keys won't work).

Any suggestions on how to clean an O2 cart?

It's just like some atari 2600 games. To clean Ody2 games, Push the metal part on the bottom of the cart into the cart and clean the contacts with Q tips and rubbing alcohol.

I think you got caught up in your wording there. Basically you want to use some rubbing alcohol and clean the contacts inside the cartridge (both sides). I believe Slate was saying to push the metallic dust cover on the cartridge out of the way to gain access first. You may want to open up the cartridge shell and remove the PCB to get better access.

Thanks! I'll give that a try. What a great place this is. :D
