Wait, sometimes you would turn the game on and it was all distorted. Then you blow and it is fixed. How else did Nintendo expect people would handle that? Canned air?

You may joke, but I lost my best friend that way.TLatshaw said:
Tyler just didn't have the lung strength...
But I was doing FuFu up until really recently when I switched to compressed air and virgin sacrifice to keep my NES working, the SNES works fine, don't even ask about the N64, that thing works like new and it's taken the most abuse.
Also, it takes it's name from the Japanese onomatopoeia for blowing, like how Pac-Man was originally gonna be called Puck man, not because he looks like a hockey puck, but because of the Japanese onomatopoeia for flapping one's gums but...
All things die...
And if the things I love must die with me doing everything I can to make them feel useful in their dying days, then so be it!

I have never heard that term used.
But god just hearing about blowing into carts takes me back to those special Saturday morning where all I did was play SNES games. Good Times, Good Times

Quit fufu-ing down my neck hole Nintendo! I know this word is new to many of us, but it's time to start applying it to other instances.The Great Fa said:
OT - I am old. My older sister still has my original NES I believe. I will have to see if the old girl still works (the NES not my sister). I might have to Fufu my Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt cartridge like nobody's business to get it to load.
FuFu?
Whatever, anyway, it's a well known fact that blowing in your cartridge works, just not that FuFu is the correct term..

Lol. I think the only fufu that can lead to rusty connectors is the spit variety. If you can refrain from spraying it into your cartridge, I doubt there will be any damage done. Sadly, all cartridges are doomed anyway.
They should make a 3ds game that has dozens of classic Nintendo games all with redone visuals.

The moisture from your mouth as you blow into the carts corrodes the contacts, that's why you don't do it... even though we all did. The best bet to get clean carts is to use Q-tips and Windex (or the comparable generic brand). Lightly wet one side of the Q-tip and wipe the contacts and the surrounding plastic then go over it again with the dry tip. Let it air dry some more for about 5-10 minutes (you can clean other carts in this time).
I can remember back when Nintendo still offered to service the NES and it's games (We're talking upwards of the Gamecube days) and a friend of mine sent his in. He called them up first and the rep on the other end asked him if he ever blew into his games. He obviously said yes and the rep promptly scolded him: "You DON'T DO that!"

it sometimes works but a more permanent solution is cleaning it with a alchol soaked Q-tip (not beer but the stuff they use to clean wounds but stronger).
use a Q-tip and some cleaning alcohol trust me it works and will keep it working for a long time.(DO NOT USE WATER! water will short it out and wrecks the cart.)Gralian said:
