Tip & How-To about Nintendo Video Game Consoles & Games

Cleanliness is next to fixiness

Don't throw away that classic console yet. Repairing it might be much easier than you think. I'm constantly amazed by how tough classic video game consoles can be. Early Nintendo and Sega consoles are surprisingly long-lived if they are treated properly. Unfortunately, many of these classic consoles have accumulated twenty years of dust, dirt, grime, and god knows what else. Many such consoles can be restored to working order simply by taking them apart, cleaning them from the inside out, then putting them back together again. Always remember to unplug your electronics before you take them apart. Safety first. It seems too good, but it's true; a simple cleaning can repair many ailments affecting classic game consoles.

Hmm maybe your Xbox 360 Tought it was a xbox game but later it saw it was an PS2 game but really i think you can only play Xbox games on your xbox 360 because Playstation is made by sony so other games. i think not much people can help you. get an ps2/3 to play kingdom hearts or throw it away or sell it im sorry.

console moved while game was playing hence ring on disc and disc freezing any solution instead of throwing away

You have obviously damaged the disk. I think Gamestation or Game does a thing in store that can repair damaged disks but I think thats only scratched disks. It would be worth a try taking it in and trying to get it repaired.

Wii keeps asking me to connect a nunchuck even though one is connected.

Hardware problem in nunchuck, try repairing it or buy the new Wireless Nunchuck, much more easier to play...
