finally got around to finishing setting up my game consoles. my nes has some kinda power flashing issue - it resets itself after one frame, repeatedly. im gonna try cleaning the pin connectors before i write it off as unfixable (to me)

i was gonna reward myself by ordering an fxpak pro, but they're out of stock. i guess ill keep an eye out for restocks

@typhlosion could that be be the 10NES chip doing its thing? it can be kinda sensitive, might be best to just disable it because its only purpose is to be DRM

@Felthry thats the other thing ive heard might be causing it. what does disabling it entail?

@typhlosion i think soldering like one wire somewhere and cutting one leg of the 10NES or something like that, it's a pretty trivial modification

@Felthry anything involving soldering is above my pay grade, at least at the moment

@typhlosion oh i just looked it up and apparently it's actually just cut one leg of the 10NES (pin 4 specifically)
