Do you have a CRT monitor? As I understand it, the Zapper will only work with a CRT.

Re: What is it exactly that makes an NES freeze? (17 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
On a related note, I would check to be sure that you're using a quality AC adapter. I have always had better luck with the first-party adapters, but even those can go bad. I have done quite a bit of testing with various first- and third-party AC adapters for NES and SNES. Poor or aging adapters can cause your machine to reset sporadically--not fun in the middle of a game or a set! They can also have odd effects on the image quality. In putting together a gig bag, I always check the adapter itself to make sure there aren't any loose parts. I may also test an adapter by letting the NES run for about 30 minutes. Finally, I make sure to quarantine or dispose of any adapters that aren't working properly. Hope this helps!

Has anyone heard if Datapop is coming back to Austin for SXSW? The Highball's event calendar doesn't seem to list anything.

Re: Amazing NES game soundtracks (93 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
I knew my video game soundtrack playlist on YouTube would come in handy some day! Yessss.
Here are just a few songs from some lesser-known NES games. I know some of these titles have already been mentioned, but still. 
M.C. Kids, Stages 2/6:

Journey to Silius, Title theme:

Pizza Pop, Stages 1/2 (Sorry, you have to scroll to about 04:25 in the video):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVHKm75LTUk
I also think there's something to be said for the music in some of the black box games like Gyromite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1YmeZs91bs) and Wrecking Crew. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUiULTsSHqo). Simple, yes, but catchy with a ton of replay value.
And though it's not an unfamiliar one, I have to also throw my support behind the Kirby's Adventure soundtrack. Let me start out by saying that Kirby's Adventure is my favorite video game on any console, ever. Whoa, yeah. The music plays a big role in that choice. I love how the instrument vocabulary really carries through the Gameboy, NES, and SNES Kirby soundtracks (and then later even to the GBA and DS Kirby games). Here's a great tune from the NES soundtrack that also happens to be my ringtone

95% sure that I'll be there this year! I've got no chip consumption photo, though :\.
I'm guessing the other TX folks are flying in rather than driving?
