Recieved my new 72 Pin.

[Greg2600]

I just got a new 72 pin connector this week and installed it. All the games I tried work on the first shot. However, the games are in there DeathGrip style no question. What a pain to get them out. Anybody know if the DeathGrip's loosen up over time?

I open my NES carts to clean also. The bitch about doing this, however, is that the current driver is a tad big for the holes. So it takes a lot of unneccesary wiggling, grinding and shoving to finally unscrew the case. After three carts my hand is usually done for the night. My hand cramps thinking about the 300 carts left to clean... =(

...and yeah. This has been discussed a bajillion times already. DON'T USE WATER ON THE CONNECTORS. If you do, you mine as well add sugar to your gas tank while you're at it.

Either use a file or bench grinder to "thin" the outer walls of your security bit / driver for easier clearance with NES games.
