What's with how when you play a cartridge for a certain amount of time, it starts seeping out wax, from the chips? (PS. Too much of this happened to my GameSharks, and they're fried.) It seems to happen to all of my cartridges, of both SNES, and GameBoy cartridges. Does it help, that I scratch the wax off with a pushpin? It seems like it. Because it seems to work better after that. Is that odd?

*EDIT*: 8-9-13
Actually, the only SNES cartridge I have, that's doing that, is my Super GameBoy.

I'd say that's not suppose to happen.

Overlooking the fact that this subject's connection to chiptune is somewhat tenuous, AND that you posted two threads, one of which refers to the other...

I think a photo might be very helpful here.

No, it's actually clear.

Try and take a picture and post it here, then I'm sure people will stop saying you're a troll.

Although Spew is the second most disgusting word i can think of, let's use the first most disgusting word i can think of, "seepage".

seep·age 
The slow escape of a liquid or gas through porous material or small holes.

Sorry, I try to use a little more "appropriate" words. Even though, the context there is where it seems "dirty", when really the context, I'm using is not "dirty".

Well, like I said (with the other comment), I don't necessarily have a camera to borrow at the moment.
