DP MYTHBUSTERS : Blowing in NES Cartridges

[Ed Oscuro]

Could also be "spurious correlation"

True!

But the point is...it sure does seem to work more often than not by more than enough people. That would be an interesting experement. Might even be a good one to submit to Mythbusters. Have they done a video game myth yet?

I'd be interested to see if they'd take it, since - for the reason I had before - the scraping not-really-ZIF socket of the NES makes it hard to replicate results with any accuracy.

You're right, though. I think this is the bigger myth of the two, although what Frankie's testing is indeed worthwhile.

That and nothing blows up, and you know how we'll feel when they strap a stick of dynamite to an NES.
