My God, Nintendo Cartridges are amazing! I have always known they have been durable, accidentally washed a few Gameboy Games, still worked, dropped some in the snow and lost them for a few hours, still worked. But this... Man like WOW
ProtoMario I threw some gba games on a random shelf that we never clean up about 9 years ago. Recently found them and they still work like they did back then. This is why I love nintendo.
Those things are able to survive a nuclear holocaust, I swear to Christ. Like, just imagine an archaeological site some three thousand years from now. From under the buried remains of humanity's former cities, they'll dig up an SNES with a Super Mario World cartridge in it, alongside a Gameboy with Pokemon Red. They *will* work. Hope those guys have some new batteries ready though, lol.
my ps3 is broken after 2 years of having it my Nintendo still works what the actual hell I even use the TURBOGRAFX tv switch box cord thingy and it works
+TAR JET The more complex a machine is, the easier it breaks. That's the price you pay for more power and functionality. Look at the size of that motherboard, and then wrap your head around the fact we can now emulate the NES (on up to the Playstation One), on a single-board computer the size of a credit card (Raspberry Pi).
In a similar story, a couple years ago my grandparents had told me there was some "Ninten-Watcha-Ma-Call-Its" left on the old back porch back in the 90s by my uncles, but they thought someone had stolen them. Turned out there was 2 Nintendos, 6 games, two light guns, a pro controller, and two normal controllers, all of which had been covered in mud against the house during a major flood, and had been sitting in the earth ever since. They looked about as bad condition as the ones in these videos, if not worse, but I managed to cannibalize the two NES systems into one and got all the other stuff to work. All in all, I'm pretty sure old Nintendos are indestructible and will survive the end of time itself.
If you knew the actual definition of indestructible, and by association the definition destroy, you would know that simply because something is broken or damaged it would not definitely be destroyed; if something was destroyed it would be impossible to repair or return it to it's original state, and in my case I was able to turn both broken NES consoles into one functional unit, validating that neither console was indeed destroyed. So of course that sentence on my original comment regarding NES consoles as indestructible was obviously an exaggeration I had used as a joke, which should have been especially obvious when I mentioned them "surviving the end of time", but I guess that may have gone over your head. And as for your comment about the validity of my story, you're entitled to your own opinion, and you trying to make such a weak critique of my story is pretty funny regardless of whatever you think.
@@solidgoldleopold love stories like this. One mans trash is another's treasure. Really though how can people justify giving retro games away for cheap or just forgetting they even had it!
RETRO GAMING ARTS I have a PS2 mem card that I got off eBay and I intentionally left the previous person's saves on there. There are some that date back to 2001.
forgottengamer Smith Hah! Same here, im currently in the process of procuring the games that had saves on my memory card just out of sheer curiosity. It's really fun digging thru someones old gaming memories.
OLD Nintendo consoles, when it comes to new ones, Nintendo is kind of notorious for them being unrepairable or easily brickable. Times change I guess. (I do like new Nintendo consoles, I just think the company made a step back compared to what it used to be, and I think Sony's built quality is better)
Maybe depends on the console, I thought my ps3 was durable. My sister left my ps3 outside accidentally for a week and had no problem turning it on except that it collected birch seeds in the CPU cooler. Edit: It was on all the time
keeper7keys2003 last durable game system was the ps2 slim I've dropped it, it had dropped to the floor while on, stepped on etc. and it still worked and continued to work for about 10 years I recently threw it out which I regret now
dude, amazing work. there needs to be more people like you willing to salvage and save these legendary consoles for as long as possible! people take them for granted without giving a second thought that these consoles are now discontinued......whatever's out there is all that's left! one day there be gone and the legend of the NES will be just a memory.....
Since you managed to find save games on the SNES cart, you should do some detective work and see if you could track down "Sarah" or "Henry". I mean what viral video gold would that be to track down the grown up kid whose beloved Nintendo was lost in a barn for decades? And the look on his or her face when they got to put their hands on it and hear that game boot up again? PLEEEEASSSE consider this!! If this sounds good to anyone else, please upvote.
You could check public records of the property owners of that lot where the stuff was found in the 80's and 90s.... then you could do a search of those last names with Henry _____ and Sarah ____ . Then you could message them through social media or something and ask if they happened to have a super nintendo when they were a kid, and if their property had a barn? At least thats what i would do. Something like that.
What an awesome show of love and commitment to game preservation! We will all thank Luke in 20 years when he has single-handedly saved so many consoles that our children can still enjoy them.... and probably still cost less than an NES classic. LOVE THIS!
Been looking forward to this one! :) Amazing work dude! I would have binned that NES AV unit, then when you cleaned it up I was like, wow! Impressive work sir!

joe13shank - You've just explained millennial freedom. Thank this epidemic of emotional grouping/labeling/defining etc for it too. Now watch our devices become even more shitty due to less individual open detailed care amongst masses.
(STORY TIME) About a month ago. My neighbor asked if I could help clean her garage because she kelp 3 dogs in there for about a month dew to the weather. I walked in that garage and omg. There was dog shit everywhere. I started cleaning and notice some snes games covered in shit and water. I cleaned them and now I play them. There was 12 games total. They were games I did not own. That was my shittiest best day ever.
That was a moth nest in Adventures of Link, by the way. Yes, yuck. lol I can tell you with absolute certainty, that the AC Box portion of the NES was exposed to humid conditions, and there's a good chance that little critters also helped the corrosion along. Moths will gnaw on plastic and on copper. 'Barntendo' indeed, lol
I watched the whole video, you're the man Luke. Awesome job, i don't have the patience and passion you do to do what u can do. My respects my brother :)
Seeing the condition they were in at the beginning made me almost want to cry a little, watching them get taken apart was like watching an autopsy. But holy hell, you freaking got it, that right there is a victory for neglected electronics everywhere
This is absolutely incredible. I didn't think you would be able to keep like 95% of the original NES parts in there as the corrosion on some of the parts was absolutely terrible. You really brought that old machine back from the rust death. Fantastic work!
I bet all the old broken videogame systems laying in barns dream about somebody finding them and sending them to luke. This one reminded me a bit of that x68000 (i think it was?) with the spider infestation.
It's one thing to be a fan of video games. However, cleaning and repairing old systems and games so they can continue to be enjoyed... whole different level. So awesome to see! :)
I agree, the same thing goes with the broken Arcade boards Luke repairs. Once, I found an old NES front loader, and I was trying to do the trick where you have to remove the 4th pin in the CIC lockout chip, but when I plugged in the system after I removed that pin, I accidentally popped a capacitor! Now that was crazy.
Dude, you're amazing! Quite a bit of work you've done there. Good job as I'm always telling you :) It reminds me of that Lost Vikings cart and the Dreamcast you repaired for me among other things, amazing stuff!
i absolutely love what you've done with this nearly bricked hardware. these are some of my favorite games as well, and seeing the old, rusty nes and games fixed so amazingly just lifts my heart. you are a hero. thank you for this video.
Best 47 mins of life expended on this video, each second of them were worth it! 47 mins that could easily have turn or being 3 hours because I would have loved to see more of the cleaning, changing and reparing processes. Awesome video, you got yourself a subscribe and a big fan!
I love how you clean and restore systems. You leave it so nice and clean and in working condition. You would make the best Nintendo Service repair man back in the 80’s.
1. Once it was flickering, how did you know it was the RAM chips and not any other random problem like wiring or other parts? 2. What did you replace the chips with? Spare parts from other trashed NES consoles, or were they generic easily obtainable parts?
This just goes to show how amazing you are at this Luke, the video game necromancer. I would have thought those items are beyond repair and not only did you clean them, but they work perfectly! If there ever is a video game museum, you will be the curator
Wonderful stuff! This is great to see considering the numbers of these retro consoles and games go down and are often consumed for mod projects or otherwise lost, and you back a system and games I never would have imagined could work again. Great work!
Luke. This is *NEVER* boring I love watching your repair vids as it has helped me fix either my own systems or people I know. so make long vids or short vids keep posting :).
If anyone can fix it, good old Luke can :) most people would've given up as soon as that huge chunk of rust fell out of the NES. Top work as always my good man :)
Thank you for making this video and investing the time and money to bring this console and amazing games back to life. I enjoyed watching it in its entirety. Would love to see more repairs like these.
I do these kinds of restorations all the time. 90% of the time, it's just a good teardown and cleaning needed. It's a good feeling to get them operational again. Great video 😁
Damn Luke, thats a lot of work! Personally i would've just throw the RF box out and build a new circuit. Was never a fan of how much interference it picks up anyway.
Hey thanks for making this video. I've been working on two game systems and thought they were gone. After watching this i know i can get them back to their glory days
*Love how the Triforce came together as you said the three of them works! Lol, long as Sarah and Henry haven't left this Earth yet, maybe someone has told them about this video! Awesome video bud, nice work!*
Unbelievable, power supply with video from a rotten piece. Even the corroded controller ports are working, just with vinegar!? The discoloration of the NES Case with a blue light kind of has its charm. Great work, shows what an expert technician can manage to resurrect!
What a great job lukemorse1. Listen.....when you said "I used my grinder" to clean the PCB game what type of grinder you use.....perhaps a dremel. Anyway grettings from Bilbao (Spain) very nice job (sorry for my english)
I loved when you booted Zelda 2 and started right away, amazing video man, these things shouldnt be rotting away in the wild, they need a care owner that gives them love! Cheers from Spain!
If the screw at 5:44 was stripped all you need to do is put a ripper band over it and then push the screwdriver down on the rubber band into the Phillips screw hole and twist and you should be able to get it un screwed. Your welcome! #HouseholdHacks
You obviously haven't tried that old trick very much. That doesn't work on rust-seized screws like that one. The rubber band thing is hardly ever useful because the lightly screwed in screws it works on could easily be grabbed with a pair of pliers. #UntestedShittyHacks
I live in KY and recently purchased a whole box of rough consoles and parts (N64, genesis, genesis 3, two NES's etc...) and man they were pretty rough and nasty inside. I've been going through each one cleaning and polishing connectors and now have the N64, the 2 genesis working. I'm not restoring the NES's and restored the NES advantage that was in the lot as well (they are built like a tank) I always love and appreciate bringing old consoles back from the grave. Great video.
I am glad that the NES was repaired and is now alive. The games shells were in bad shape but at least the insides were in great shape. Good job on the repair.
Damn, this wasn't just a fix, more like a resurrection.

Damn Luke, thats a lot of work! Personally i would've just throw the RF box out and build a new circuit. Was never a fan of how much interference it picks up anyway.
Padoca85 there's plenty of mods for video output. Any way the composite is way better than the RF.
Yeah, thats what I meant... Not making a new RF.
Dude awesome work man. Not many people would take on the challenge and restore that.Cool stuff!
You're the Doctor Frankenstein of nintendo
I have serious attention span issues but I watched the entire video in one go, Great job man.
Fantastic job luke!!!!
Hey thanks for making this video. I've been working on two game systems and thought they were gone. After watching this i know i can get them back to their glory days
I want an NES my mom used to have one and she talks about how much she loved Mario
Dman Dc if you can't find an original buy a retron hd

David Piçarra better than trying to find a working one and a TV that’ll be able to use one.
(same story) my grandma said she might have it...
1 or 3
*Love how the Triforce came together as you said the three of them works! Lol, long as Sarah and Henry haven't left this Earth yet, maybe someone has told them about this video! Awesome video bud, nice work!*

Man, that's some work of pure love right there. Great job!
I like seeing the actual work done, soldering and such...
Yes, mainly the part where he ripped the traces off the board because he didn't have the right tools or skills.
Unbelievable, power supply with video from a rotten piece. Even the corroded controller ports are working, just with vinegar!? The discoloration of the NES Case with a blue light kind of has its charm. Great work, shows what an expert technician can manage to resurrect!
I am VERY impressed, and feel like a nerd, lol. But these videos are quite interesting to watch!
Good to see people preserving old systems and games for future generations to appreciate

This was very satisfying to watch. I enjoy watching these restoration videos. Job well done 👏
What a great job lukemorse1. Listen.....when you said "I used my grinder" to clean the PCB game what type of grinder you use.....perhaps a dremel. Anyway grettings from Bilbao (Spain) very nice job (sorry for my english)
Oscar Boullosa you have better English than a lot of people do
I loved when you booted Zelda 2 and started right away, amazing video man, these things shouldnt be rotting away in the wild, they need a care owner that gives them love!
Cheers from Spain!
If the screw at 5:44 was stripped all you need to do is put a ripper band over it and then push the screwdriver down on the rubber band into the Phillips screw hole and twist and you should be able to get it un screwed. Your welcome!

Ripper Band! That sounds metal as fuck!
Yeah I tried that and whenever I do it just rips the hell outta the rubber band and pokes through it.
You obviously haven't tried that old trick very much. That doesn't work on rust-seized screws like that one. The rubber band thing is hardly ever useful because the lightly screwed in screws it works on could easily be grabbed with a pair of pliers.

If you have a stripped screw, you're better off cutting a slot with a dremel to get a hold of it.
I live in KY and recently purchased a whole box of rough consoles and parts (N64, genesis, genesis 3, two NES's etc...) and man they were pretty rough and nasty inside. I've been going through each one cleaning and polishing connectors and now have the N64, the 2 genesis working. I'm not restoring the NES's and restored the NES advantage that was in the lot as well (they are built like a tank) I always love and appreciate bringing old consoles back from the grave. Great video.
Once I threw out a PS2 because I couldn't get the eject button rewired... *Shamed*
I once threw a old NES out because it had a fucking huge spider living on it, totally worth it!
eric the lv 51 battlemage good job, but you should have burned it
Eric The lv 51 battlemage oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof
Tom Thiessen booo you suck! (JK)
Shame
I am glad that the NES was repaired and is now alive. The games shells were in bad shape but at least the insides were in great shape. Good job on the repair.
the Nintendo Jesus, back with the resurrection ;D
we'll be back in a little bit.
amazing work 👍👍👍
