Before inserting the cassette into the NES main body, a warning message appeared where you tried to breathe in the terminal part "Fu!". It seems that the act of blowing a metal terminal part is a cause of failure by rust.


This is not limited to NES, but it is common to all hardware and software with metal terminals including the Nintendo DS series, so you should not breath in the terminal.


If you are concerned about dust and dirt, we ask you to use an optional cleaning set.
