Is it okay to use a Q-tip (not the rapper) and alcohol to clean the inside connectors? If not what should I use.

On a side note: How in the fuck do you clean off the sticker residue from Gamestop price stickers? I haven't bought used games from them because it seems impossible. They REALLY need a better system for pricing their used games, IMO.

I dont know if i'd use direct rubbing alcohole, maybe mix it with a bit of water. Once I was taking sharpie marker writing off some SNES games and the alcohole started eating breaking down the plastic.

Goo Gone should help getting those cummy GameStop stickers off.

I've washed a few GBA games and they still play fine. Didn't loose saves or anything! Sticker is furry though.

Ideally a nintendo cleaning kit.

Ignoring that, a solution of 50% water(distilled is even better) and 50% rubbing alcohol. Qtips aren't very good, because they shed fiber too easily. You need something a little more durable. Like a piece of tshirt cotton wrapped around something small enough to fit in the slot and stiff(hahahahaha) enough to give you some leverage. Once you have something like that, that clean all carts, genny to n64. Once you rub them down with alcohol, give them, dry them with another piece of the cotton, and let them dry for an hour. You'll be tip top.

I once tried q-tip with antiseptic liquid and it worked perfectly fine.

Thanks for the advice. I hope I don't fuck my game up.
