So my nintendo finally gave out a few weeks back while playing rbi. I remember a bunch of months ago someone saying something that all you need is to buy a new 72-pin connector for the NES and it should work like new. Where can i get one? online or certain stores??
You can get them on ebay relatively cheap.
They are all over ebay, in know, I think they run around $10.
Somehow my NES is surviving, no new 72 pin, same NES I've had for 15 years. I never have a glitch with RBI, Super Tecmo, and Dr. Mario, basically the 3 games I still play.
Ultimate, DO NOT LET DR. MARIO TOUCH YOUR GENITALS, HE'S NOT A REAL DOCTOR! Love that sig...

I thought you were on a two week hiatus from the forums?
Make sure to get a 72 pin connector that comes with instructions...it's a pain in the ass to have to take the NES apart and remember exactly how things go back together and figure out how to replace the connector...
Yeah, definitely keep track. Was going to turn a NES into a PC and gave up out of laziness. Now the parts are everywhere and it's very unlikely that I can put humpty dumpty together again...
Well, the tuner in my tv went out so the cable guy hooked everything up through the video input which is great if I wanna watch tv but extremely shitty if I wanna play RBI since the NES does not go through the video. Fuck that!
you can get one of those red/white/yellow cables from radio shack and plug it into the side of your NES...then the other cables go into the A/V input on your TV and you're good to go.
TRoogs, I have a spare that I may let you have, for an undisclosed payment...involving poorly lit alleyways and a clown suit.
troogs backwards is sgoort. coincidence? i think not?!
Buy an inexpensive cotroller on ebay and play on your computer.
