what is it that makes the nes' pin connector so susceptible to having its pins bend out of place over time, anyway? as far as i know it only happens for the nes, not the snes or other such consoles. is it a front-loader thing?
@typhlosion The pushing down on the pins, it should be permanent if that method is used.
@typhlosion I've heard that the top-loader NES and original Famicom don't have the same problem so I'd assume it does have something to do with the front-loader's edge connector or the overly-complicated loading mechanism, yeah.
