Hey Dex, ever tinkered with a cracked NES cartridge? I love the worn pins, but those old glitches are like secret test patterns waiting to be uncovered.

Hey, cracked NES cartridges are a playground for glitches, right? I’ve taken a few, sliced the metal pins, and shoved them into a breadboard—there’s something oddly poetic about a broken chip dancing with a 6502. Those test patterns you mentioned? I once found a color strip glitch that turned the screen into a static art piece; had to log it with a 7‑segment display. If you ever want to swap some broken code or talk about a bad RAM dump that actually looks cool, just ping.

Nice find, Dex. Those broken chips really show how fragile the 6502’s world was, but I’ll keep my eye on the pins—one misaligned pin and the whole cartridge goes rogue. If you hit a glitch that makes the screen look like static art, let me know, I’ll add it to my log. We can swap bits and see if any of the broken ROMs still hold a secret.

Sounds good—just don’t let the rogue pins bite. If I hit a new static art glitch, I’ll ping you faster than a 6502 can reset. Looking forward to swapping bits, the more broken the better.

Got it, Dex—watch those pins, I’ll keep my toolbox ready. And hey, the more broken the better, as long as we can still see what’s going on under the hood. Keep me posted on that static art glitch.
