New connectors are less likely to work, actually.. the originals work best. I've talked to people about the problem at another forum who've tried replacing it and having it not work after bending them, but when they bent the originals, it worked perfectly.

I tried bending the pins in the NES I have (the same one I used as a wee child, never had the pin connector replaced) following that tutorial at classic gaming... First time I tried playing a game after doing it, it worked perfectly fine...

Took the game out, tried a different game, back to the blinking problem... Tried the game that worked perfectly before... Blink blink blink... kept trying, blink blink blink blink blink BLINK BLINK BLINK!!!!!.... So I gave up and tossed it on the floor...

Well, I got it all..except, the cords that plug into the tv don't work. The screw part doesn't screw into my tv. Luckly I have a SNES, but I should probably email the guy. I'm glad that I can play Duck Hunt again though.

Yeah, email him. I had an issue where he (diff. person) said Expansion Pak included but it wasnt. So he made it up to me by depositing $10 into my paypal acct.

Do they have pins in Europe?

I just did it... Perhaps a bit too tight... Or... WAY to tight...

*Sigh*

In all honesty, I made those buggers so damned tight I can hardly get games in or out.

I picked up some kick ass deals on some old school systems (Genesis, SNES, and NES)

Mwahaha. I was just showing my friend The Wizard the other day. He had never seen it...

Ah... Good Times.

Got a Super Scope off eBay for $25 with everything included (even box and instruction manuals)

Man, how did I ever go without it. The only thing is that my eyes hurt after a bit because I have to keep one closed to get good aim at the screen.

and I'm also awaiting on a PowerPad with game included. Incase someone doesnt know what the powerpad is, its the thing you run in place on to make the guy on screen run. Kind of like DDR, except from the 80's

Here's the auction for the powerpad for anyone who can't get a visual of the powerpad.

I still have my PowerPad. Track and Field rules. You definitely get a good work out on that thing. You know how to cheat on the long jump, right? Jump off the pad, then your chracter will go flying until you step onto the pad...Instant win most of the time, heh. Playing with your hands will also get you quicker times...But cheating is no fun.
