2020 Chuff thread - A new decade of chuffyness!
pbj:
Finally got my wonky copy of Dragon Warrior working, several pins were very worn. This is the copy I played as a kid so it was sentimental.
Found a YouTube video where a guy repaired an edge connector on an arcade board by melting solder on the pin and the wiping it off with his bare finger. Yeah, don't do that. I feel like I was trolled.
Anyway, I did his solder wipe (with rag) and got it from a red or white screen to booting kinda sorta. So then I took a sharp pocket knife and scraped each pin from top to bottom. Several times, trying to get them smooth and uniform.
Then some alcohol wipes.
Now, with a firm insertion, it's working fine on my top loader and 2 clones.

Is that a Nintendo Power freebie? I remember getting it and I played the crap out of it. Then I was like "Yup I never have to play another straight rpg again."
pbj:
Nope, one of the suckers that paid retail for this.
Howard_Casto:
Eh I don't think it's a bad purchase either way. I enjoyed it, I just realized later that other rpgs were essentially the same damn game and I was done with level grinding for life. :cheers:
