Interesting! Is there any way to resolve it? Perhaps by adjusting the AVS cart slot pins?
I went through my whole loose cart collection. 130 or so games, and 15 had the stripe.
Not all copies of these games have the stripe though. (You don't have to take apart your games to see the stripe. Just flip the cart around, in a well lit spot, and look at the pins.)
That irritated me because more than 10% of my library would be unplayable on NES.
It doesn't seem like something that will be fixed, given that the pin reading device is the same generic pin reader that lots of devices, apparently even the Analog NT uses (?)
The good news is, that someone found a way to get the carts to work, with a little fiddling, and I can verify I got my original problem games working with this method.
So someone at NintendoAge said by inserting and pressing the cart from the left side, his cart was able to work. That seemed difficult given the little wiggle room there is, but it does work if you can do it right..
I'm a little annoyed that my stripe games need either a game genie or cart fiddling to work right, but I'm also at ease knowing that I should be able to play all my games after all.
