>blowing spit all over metal contacts
Even in the 90s I knew not to do that.
Some people can contain their saliva and just blow air user
Man shes ugly
all you need to do is take it out and put it back in
blowing on it is placebo at best and harmful at worst

what did they mean by this?
not true, It made the game run 20% better. my Dad told me so, he worked at Nintendo.
No, you literally cannot, no one can.
Arya gonna explain what’s going on here
Nintendo handhelds required this well into the 2000's.
She is way too fucking young to have had to do that when she was a kid (or dwarf?)
she actually wasnt that bad back then, these days though..
Do you not understand how condensation works user?
They're just parroting whatever buzzfeed etc youtube video tells them what to think.
You realize everyone expels saliva even just from normal actions like talking and breathing from their mouth even a little right?
Just like you leave sweat and oils all over everything you touch even when your hands feel dry.
Did you even finish school?
i want her to blow on my cock
shes a chameleon, her looks change depending on the lighting and angle. she belongs in a jar and put on display.
>Blowing on cartridges or the console when the instruction manual clearly says to not do that
Look who the fuck is talking
Yes I can. Get your mouth checked out
He’s right, even if there aren’t globs of spit your breath is still very much filled with moisture and bacteria. Contaminating the contacts.
Reminder that Early Zoomers who were in the video are now the majority of the internet, and soon we'll be seeing gritty reboots of Minecraft and Angry Birds
Press down on the left toggle.
you cant even breath out normaly without the breath containing moisture from your lungs, blowing into a cartridge additionally aerosolizes spit in your mouth into tiny droplets you dont even see. you dont literally spit into the cartridge, blowing into it is already enough to harm it over the long run. and its not even needed, you just have to reseat the cartridge to make it work. it just happens to work after blowing into it because you have simply reseated it into the slot, the blowing did nothing. the tolerances on these contacts were not all that tight, and it was quite easy to get a bad connection on a pair of pins.
>YWN blow on a Gunsmoke cartridge to make it work on grandma's NES ever again
inb4 I was only pretending
>i licked a q tip and rubbed on the contacts
>one time i got so mad that a game wouldnt start, i took it outside and sprayed with with a hose and it worked
Well she’s British they can’t help it
Utter retards
Literally moving goalposts now are we?
>Spit all over metal contacts
You restrict the amount that comes out to negligible levels, that's why you don't have to constantly wipe the saliva off your phone or your walls because apparently "you always excrete saliva and it's sooooo much that it's a major issue when you blow dust"
Now stop trying to sound smart because you aren't, you're just trying to blow things out of context and proportion.
Not pretending anything dipshit, you lot really are just trying to be contrarian.
Blowing dust out of a cartridge does not coat the fucking thing in enough saliva to cause problems unless of course you're a bunch of drooling retards like you lot.
>everyone freaking out about saliva and condensation
>my gbc and its games from back in the day still work fine, and I did this all the time
Sure blowing actually didn't do anything, but acting like you were destroying your console and cartridges by doing so is plain overreaction.
Enjoy ruining the contacts you dumb faggot.
Nice.
Based logician
>blowing actually didn't do anything
Is this true? Because it worked 99% of the time.
GBC games are relatively new compared to early NES cartridges, which the majority of are currently becoming inoperable without proper care and maintenance.
Based, better than 90s pandering
This. The amount of condensation needed to "ruin" contacts is way more than you think it is.
Like other anons said, simply removing and reseating the cartridge was enough. I blew on it because I assumed dust or dirt made its way into the contact, the actual problem was that the contacts got jostled slightly out of position.
BLOW MY BALLSACK PLEASE
Oh yeah bby blow that dirty hardware. >:)
>performing a blowjob on a cartridge to make it work
man, early consoles sucked
I only read recently how you're not meant to do this. As others have said, the moisture in your breath will corrode the metal contacts, apparently.
But then again, I did it all the time with my N64 (and later SNES when we got one of those too, second-hand from someone we knew). And I probably did it with my Game Boy too. And those games all still work. Apart from one game because the contacts actually broke off somehow, I guess someone must have dropped it, or at least it must have experienced some physical blow to the bottom of the cartridge. All the other games work fine though - no signs of corrosion whatsoever.
>all these seething, knee-jerk, know-it-all replies
That's Yea Forums for ya.
God I wish that cartridge was me
You'd have to be practically blowing raspberries to generate enough moisture to destroy them. If you're just blowing air, there's not that much more moisture being ejected than there is moisture already in the air.
I have 11 years over n64, you pesky kid.
She’s hot.
lol shouldn't you be in the grave already gramps
Wrong, Maisie is the British Isles slag waifu of my dreams that I want to impregnate.
By a month, yeah.
>not sucking in to prevent fuck ups
Jesus Christ, I’m never getting near humans again
Yeah I remeber blowing on my ds cartridges when I was 9.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT BITCH DOING
based
literal drooling retards, kill yourselves.
You should be able to, your mother blows a lot and keeps moisture to herself...
You shouldn't blow, just breathe. Its moisture that creates a strong contact.
that's why licking it worked best. lick it.
>not using the vaccum cleaner
Dumbasses, yes there will always be saliva when you breath out but that's just like how there is always moisture in the air, it's not enough to fucking do anything, only an absolute retard who doesn't know how to exhale would get literally spit globs in their cartridge.
Reminder this shit does literally nothing, you just need to reinsert the cart. If it takes lots of attempts it means your contact pins need to be pushed back closer together as they have wedged too far apart from years of inserting and removing.
I still have my original NES, but I never had that issue. Everything on it has always worked properly.
>If you've ever had to do this then you don't know SHIT about video games
ftfy
I used to literally lick the contacts (it worked by the way) and my over 20 year old cartridges still run
I kept my games in their boxes where they belong.
Oh, like that Seinfield episode
If you've never reset your C64 with a pair of scissors you don't know shit about computers.
My and my friends frequently filled our mouths up with water and fired that shit right into the case and never had an issue.
but blowing on the dice always makes me roll lucky 6's
>spitting in your cartriges
USE 91% ISOPROPYL AND A Q TIP YOU SAVAGES
Imagine if she did this to your asshole.
The actual problem was the NES' spring mechanism that lowered the cartridge, which could mis-align the cartridges contact points if the spring was fucked by depressing too hard etc. That's why taking the cart out and putting it back in would sometimes fix it. There's a sweet spot when lowering the cartridge that always works.
My friend's spring mechanism was completely fucked (cartridge wouldn't stay down when depressing) but he just depressed it slightly and put a ballpoint pen in gap. It worked completely fine, without ever having to blow the cart (until someone inevitably bumped into it)
If you didnt do THIS then you dont know SHIT about video games
I'm an electrician who works in a wet environment
I am routinely surprised at how well electric motors can function when they're basically submerged in water
Fucking based retard.
hory shet
You JUST KNOW
Imagine being such an ancient boomer that you cling to nostalgic feelings of archaic technology that lasted a very brief time due to how shit it was.
just use rubbing alcohol
based Chigurh poster
hey i was born in 2001
Did this with a chip and dales cart that wouldn’t work despite trying everything. Throw it in the pool. Dry it out, worked perfectly
>blow things out of context
>blow
Yeah, the wall strikes again.
I want him to blow my cock
Dayum, how many plates does she press? 'mirin that back
>assblasted retard doubles down rather than admit his retard magic superstition did nothing but ruin all his games
Lmao'ing @ this nigger
