PCB X-Ray of the Week | Nintendo NES Super Mario Brothers 3 Cartridge PCB X-ray NES-TSROM-06 Mapper this game pushed the 8 bit NES hardware to its limits.<\/p>\n

When i was a kid i spent more time than i should have playing this game.. so as an adult I wanted to play it again… I bought one! Ebay Seller<\/a> Item arrived in as described condition PCB connections were a bit dirty (to be expected) other than that PCB was in perfect condition.<\/p>\n

I know these cartridges have been posted before but ya dont see many X-rays since I had it open for a inspection and a cleaning said why not take an x-ray.<\/p>\n
