I found that almost all my Activision carts required inserting and then wiggling out slightly to find the sweetspot, on the launch slot anyway.

I tried that too, but had no luck in this case.

There's definitely something about those Activision carts not making the right contact, if only after a few attempts.

Someone will find out...

I mean they are replacing the slot on this machine so hopefully the second revision is better about contact with games. That seems to be it's achilles heel atm. Although generally with perserverance I've not had tooooo many issues. 

 

The only one I can't get working yet is Nexar, sadly :( It's probably just my copy too

I wonder if @Ben from Plaion would upgrade (or exchange) the units of folks who are constantly having problems reading many cartridges that are known to work otherwise?

I have had two duff Nexar carts, they didn't work on original hardware either. My current one is fine on everything.
