/vr/ - Retro Games

So I've got an odd problem with my NES.

I was attempting to clean it and get it running better. To do this I cleaned out my games and lifted the pins on the 72pin connector.

Now my games run fantastically, but their's one problem. The games now only run if I do NOT push the game into the down position.

Is this normal?

The guide I was using did not mention this at all and now it seems like I've stumbled upon some other method that only a few websites mention.

So is this good? I feel kind of lame not pressing down on the game before I play it. Is there anyway to keep the pins snug and be able to press down?

In the end this is pretty much a non problem and actually a good thing.

Thoughts?
