Sorry if this topic was brought up somewhere else, I really don't know what proper words to use to do a search to find help on this topic.
Today I opened a SNES Mortal Kombat to properly clean it's pins. I was wondering what the heck are all these things inside. Obviously the circuit board, but what are those things on there called and what do they do?
I gather that the black chips is where the game program is stored. The lines on the board bring electricity between the chips and the system. There are two pink wire things and one black tube thing which I cannot start to guess about as I have no training in circuitry or electronics to have a clue.
Then there are other carts with other random things inside that I would like to more know about as well. Is a "Carts for Dummies" website out there that explains in pretty simple terms all of the stuff that we may encounter? Thanks!
