Seems like i just keep running into problems with them. Recently replaced the NES 72 pin connector. worked for a few weeks and now stopped working again. All games look garbled.

My SNES is f'ed up because it won't play all my games, only a handful, no matter how good i clean them.

Cleaned all my N64 games a few weeks ago and they worked. Now, I have to take out and insert the cartridge multiple times for it to load up.

Same with genesis.

I can't take this crap anymore. Way too much maintenance. Now I understand the beauty of emulation, game always works 100% of the time. Luckly i have a modded original xbox for that. And i get the games running in 720p

I will be sticking to Ps1, Ps2, Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Xbox when it comes to playing on the actual console. those are the systems that have never failed me.
