My friend Colby sent me a box of games his buddy got at an Estate Sale that were super dirty. He didnt have a N64 to test them and didnt want to just get rid of them, so he sent them to me so I can try and bring them back to life.

Glad you got them to work bud!! I figured sending them to you would be the best bet glad you were able to get a few of them to work ! ~Colby

@RussLyman 4 года назад

Thanks again for sending them out. I have't completely given up on them yet, I got lots of tips from the video so we shall see

@GoodVibeCollecting 4 года назад

The manual for that Strawberry Shortcake game actually smells like strawberries. How I know this is I needed a replacement case for my Dirge of Cerberus and that was the cheapest I could fine. Now my Dirge of Cerberus smells like happy.

@RussLyman 4 года назад

omg thats pretty neat that they went the extra effort to make it smell like that

@MrMikeynikeye 4 года назад

I saw your car outside my local library today and thought it was awesome so I decided to look you up. The blue shell is great lol. Good work on the games!

@RussLyman 4 года назад

thanks so much. I was there for the trade night event ALGO, video will be up tomorrow on that

@RussLyman 4 года назад

ughhhh I know it. I had to shower twice after the video ha

@8BitGlitch79 4 года назад

Glad you got the Doom64 working. That is one I need to add to the collection myself sometime. It is pretty funny that you got the worse looking one to work (bomberman)

@RussLyman 4 года назад

yeah I was like Bomberman is def toast ha, and it worked ha

@IowaRetroGamerDad 4 года назад

Haha. That Bring Me Joy-Con in the background? Love these cleaning videos. I too recently just got a bunch of N64 games I gotta clean. They aren't as good as these ones though. Haha

@RussLyman 4 года назад

you found the Bring Me Joy-Con hidden easter egg ha. yeah I'm going to try everyones suggestions and see if I can get the rest to work

@WARTRAINWINS 4 года назад

Wow, Russ that Bomberman is wasted! Haha. Looks like it was in a Swamp lol! 😄👍

@RussLyman 4 года назад

I found it fitting though that Bomberman, looks like it got hit by a bomb ha

@daejonmoody3304 2 года назад

Hurts me man that’s the best bomberman game on the console lol greatest soundtrack’s too

@TURBOJesse 4 года назад

Nice vid Russ!! I want an N64 bad but ive been waiting for the N64 classic or virtual console... Both seem to not be happening. LOL

@RussLyman 4 года назад

thanks I got this one a long time ago. Short story I actually sold my n64 and all my games to buy a PS4 after I played the game Until Dawn at a friends house. Its my least favorite Nintendo system I say. This one got traded into the game shop when I worked there and they couldn't get it to work so the custom said you can just have it. It has some cracks on it, but it totally works. I just need to find a matching controller

@Yipper64 10 месяцев назад

5:11 F to a blockbuster sticker. I love getting carts with those.

@RussLyman 10 месяцев назад

looking back on it I should have left it on ha. Early youtube retro game collecting is was all about cleaning the carts. I feel now leaving these stickers on adds to the nostalgia and past

@pnwgamerguy8030 4 года назад

I think u may be able to get smash and banjo to work, try taking apart and using brass or brite boy on pins with 1up card

@RoXolid 4 года назад

Brite Boy is the bomb!

@RussLyman 4 года назад

@The90sAreRad 4 года назад

If a game is real bad, I like using a little braso and a scotch-brite pad (one of the red ones, but green will work too) and it cleans them like a boss.

@RoXolid 4 года назад

Do not use Brasso, use Brite Boy. Brasso is an abrasive, Brite Boy is not. Also, Brite Boy does not leave the residue behind that Brasso does.

@The90sAreRad 4 года назад

@@RoXolid I've used brasso for years and it's worked perfectly fine. You just have to clean it with IPA and you'll be ok.

@RoXolid 4 года назад

@@The90sAreRad Brasso is an abrasive, meaning that as you use it you are removing more and more of the pin. It also leaves a chalky residue behind, even if you don't see it it is there. For years I have raced RC cars and trucks featuring motors you can't open to clean and service. We tried Brasso and what we found was that it inhibited current flow, reducing RPM, torque and power in the motors. We also saw an increase in wear between the motor's commutator and brushes and excessive pitting. When we discovered Brite Boy we found that it cleaned the brass that made up the commutator better, it flushed out of the motors better, and we saw performance was either maintained OR improved.

@RussLyman 4 года назад

dropping the RC car knowledge. , where do I even find Brite Boy. To amazon !!

@DadLadsGaming 4 года назад

I was rooting for you there mate! Shame you couldn’t get them all working.

@RussLyman 4 года назад

I know I even went back a few times off camera to try and get one to fire up ha. I'm sure I can get them eventually working. These carts can take a beating

@dandeluca2012 3 года назад

It physically hurt me watching you slam the games into the console lol

figured cleaning them wasn't working, lets use some force 🤷‍♂️

@RussLyman 4 года назад

yeah at least some of them worked ha

@RussLyman 10 месяцев назад

a viewer sent me the games to see if I could fix them because he thought it would make for a fun video

@GamerAhmer 4 года назад

Darn! Can’t save them all!

@RussLyman 4 года назад

Ain't that the truth ha

@kevinwoolford123 4 года назад

Alcohol wont cut it. Use brasso then clean that off with iso :) if that doesnt work use a multimeter and check for damaged traces ;)

@RussLyman 4 года назад

yeah I used some 500 girt sand paper on some, and the traces looked fine, but I'll have my friend double check for me

@kevinwoolford123 4 года назад

@@RussLyman I bet they can save them n64 seem to have trace damage often so hope you can salvage them :) another plan is swap the chips into cheaper games possibly :)

@WARTRAINWINS 4 года назад

Great video Russ! 2 out of 5 isn't bad, all things considered! They looked like they smelled! Keep up the great content brother! 😀👍

@RussLyman 4 года назад

Thanks so much, yeah they were plenty of dirty and lots of Rust on those RF shields on the inside. Thanks for watching

@PuppetMaster8707 4 года назад

This is my first Russ vid in months also as a side note the not working games have broken traces more then likely the cause of why they didn't work at all

@RussLyman 4 года назад

thanks for swinging back to the channel. I'm going to try and examine them a little more and show a few friends to see if we can get some life into them

@jay9058 4 года назад

For some reason alcohol alone isn’t enough for some n64 games I had better luck with electronic contact cleaner

@RussLyman 4 года назад

yeah I'm going to try a few more tips and see if I can get them working. I even used some 500 grit sand paper on a few and no luck

@Rguy8675 2 года назад

I recommend you try brassso to clean the pins

@RussLyman 2 года назад

Nice I will give it a try and see if that works

@Rguy8675 2 года назад

Also clean off the brasso with rubbing alcohol because brasso leaves residue

Just give it more time to dry and you should be golden with banjo tooie

@RussLyman Год назад

thanks for the tip, I'll have to give it another go

@alexandriasurrett4665 3 года назад

Who smacks a game and then pounds it into the system? You wonder why the banjo game isnt working. You're rough with all this classic stuff, seems like you have zero care with straight up spraying the entire cartridge board, rubbing like crazy with a towel, using erasers like its good idea, all you did was half a$$ rough clean everything and handled nothing with care. Anyone watching this video i recommend not doing what this guy did cause you'll end up just ruining your stuff

@RussLyman 3 года назад

Appreciate the feedback. My intent was more of entertainment over instructional and how to clean your games 🤷‍♂️

@larsnootbaarfann 2 года назад

@@RussLyman yeah no offense but i was thinking all of this. There is a good chance you ruined the games tbh

@bw_kollectr Год назад

Alcohol works as a cleaner ?

@RussLyman Год назад

rubbing alcohol yes. And it evaporates quickly to

@WheyLandFitness 2 года назад

I think you may be a bit too heavy handed in the cleaning process. Spraying directly onto the boards and scrubbing it so rough may have actually damaged them further

@RussLyman 2 года назад

that certainly could be true. Seeing the condition they were in and I tested them before and no luck getting them to work, I figured "Well can't break them more" 🤷‍♂️

Hey Russ love the videos. Don't give up. Check out John Riggs RU-vid channel his "Open Cart Surgery" videos will give you a lot of great tips and tricks. The dude is a pro. Since I've watched his videos I haven't found a cart I can't get running. Thanks again Russ. Keep it up.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I met John a few times when I visit Portland. Great guy. I'll def give them another shot. I have to get Smash Bros to Work !!!

@Bringmejoycon 4 года назад

Russ I tried to get John to take my Zelda cartridge but I think it got lost in the sea of messages, would you be interested in trying to get it working? I can send it to you if you dm me on Twitter or Instagram, or discord
