Disabling the 10NES Chip

[Tr3vor]

I was playing a game of Batman on my NES right, and I was around stage 3-3 and guess what, no signs, no graphical glitches no nothing, just it looked like the power went out... then it started blinking....

I've had it. All the connectors are fine and stuff, I'm sick of that thing.

 

Can someone show me that picture that shows which pin to cut on the lockout chip without ruining my console? I know I've seen it somewhere on AA, but the search, as always wasn't working that well for me, and neither was google. All google was showing me was how to change the connector. I want to disable the lockout chip.

Good luck with that, you may also want to just go ahead and replace your 72pin connector. I replaced mine and now my NES plays everything except the dirtiest of games, only problem is that the game has to remain up, if you press it down like you're supposed to the game doesn't work.

Actually, I've replaced mine a looong time ago, and it still works 99.9%. Mine lets me press the game down and it will work that way, in fact, It won't work in the up posistion.

 

EDIT: Its done. Ilike it so far, it is 10X less touchy, I can move the game up and down, and from side to side without it glitching up and crashing. When that 10NES chip was active, the slightest touch could cause the screen to go black or crash, even when It doesn't blink, then later starts blinking.

 

I made Batman crash without the lockout chip and some of Batman's character graphic turned in to japanese witing... I think this is something I wanna play around with....
