Is your Super Famicon experiencing start up issues? The substances in the cartridge may have been consumed over a period of time to contribute to the poor performance of your system. With this guide, we will give you the steps needed to replacing the cartridge and cleaning the cartridge port. You will need a 4.5mm Gamebit screwdriver, a J1 Phillips head, rubbing alcohol, Q-tips, and a replacement cartridge port. As you know, this Super Famicon is Japan's fourth generation of the device, therefore region restrictions may be applicable. This will likely result in needing to purchase your replacement port directly from Japan. Happy fixing!
