Blow in the cartridge put the Nintendo tape right on the edge of the inside make sure it slams down in a secure grinding fit and the game should come on

Real talk I owe that brotha so much. If it wasn't for me blowing on cartridges :dame: I would have never been able to increase my lung capacity, help reduce my asthma and play sports as a youngster.

So this brotha changed my life for the better.....one nintendo, sega genesis cartridge blow....:dame: at a time...:wow:



Thank you Mr. Lawson....:wow:
