Last night my friends and I were playing Super mario All stars: Super Mario 3 and Super Mario Kart. When we passed the controller the wire hit the side of the system. We accidentally did this twice. When we played super mario bros 3 the screen went black and the fortress music played. When we played Super Mario Kart the graphics got all scrambled. The system itself is 17 years old. The game plays fine otherwise unless the system is on the side. If anyone can tell me if I need something replaced it'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi Zander375
1) Check input/output connectors are in working order.
2) Clean games, console, all cables.
3) Games should be kept in 30 - 70 Degrees Farenheit to avoid trouble.
4) The SNES uses a 1.5 amp picofuse. It's a pretty easy fix, minimal soldering skills are required though.
5) Hold the reset button down for 10 seconds and try again.
6) Yellow cable from the AV may be a problem and need to be replaced.
Regards.

I suggest going to your local game shop (Not gamestop, the family run one) and ask. They should be able to tell you what part to replace and even replace it.

It sounds like its just an old system my man. Replacing a part would cost more than its worth.

Have Mario Kart Double Dash Gamecube disc. Trying to play on my Wii. It says, "the disc cannot be read, refer the instruction booklet". Don't have one. Any ideas?

There have been a couple of flaws in how the Wii reads Gamecube games, so this could be for a couple of reasons.
1. Some games simply just cant be read on the Wii, but it is completely determined by the game...not the Wii. This is a flaw found in mostly Gamecube games and sometimes Wii games. I have heard of Super Smash Brothers Brawl not working on certain Wii's. In your case, with Mario Kart Double Dash, it could just be that the game simply cannot be read. If this is true, then there is nothing that can be done. (You can test this by putting the game in somebody else's Wii)
2. A more common problem is scratches or fingerprints. If this is the case, then get scratch removal at the store. If you don't want to, then toothpaste will sometimes work.
3. If all else fails...read the instructions booklet.

How to download super mario 64

You can download a Super Mario 64 rom and a Nintendo 64 emulator and you will be able to play this game on your computer. Click on the link below.

http://www.freeroms.com/n64.htm


  1. On the site, click one of the hyperlinks to download an emulator, I recommend Project 64 v1.6
  2. Click Super Mario 64 to download the rom (it should be under "Top 20 Most Popular N64 ROMS")
  3. Install Project 64 and then open it.
  4. On the Project 64 window, choose "File" > "Open Rom" and find the Super Mario 64 rom that you downloaded, double click it. And that's it! The game will start and you can begin playing :)
On another note, I also recommend using a usb gamepad controller, like a MadCatz Xbox 360 GamePad controller, they work great for these kind of games.
- I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask :)

I want to play a game with cooking mama tamagotchi and mario

These three characters are owned by three different companies.
Though as some arcade game players might know, Tamagotchi was in a Mario Kart Arcade 2 game. But these machines can be really had to find.
I'd suggest finding a real Tamagotchi toy or finding the old Game Boy Color Tamagotchi game as these follow the original pet simulation formula.
The Tamagotchi games for the DS are all mini game collections with Tamagotchi themed things.

As for Cooking mama,
theres
Cooking Mama 1
Cooking Mama 2
Gardening Mama (released last month or so)
Plus two Gardening Mama games for the Wii.

For Mario I'd sugget;
New Super Mario Bros
Super Mario 64 DS
Mario Kart DS

You can pick these all up from your local game shop for a decent price or better these days.

Tamagotchi can be hard to find, though some gameshops will carry older games.

I hope that helps. Good luck.
