Question: Is this bad
I just bought a USB Saturn controller on eBay for $20 because apparently the seller didn't realize it was one of those rare SLS Fukkokuban USB controllers that usually for like $70-150
But now I'm wondering if I'm the idiot because look at this

Crumple a piece of a tinfoil and rub the connector with it. Should come right off. Use deoxit contact cleaner on the inside of the connector.
Best to disassemble the whole thing and make sure it isn't rotting from the inside too.
Also
>They were released exclusively in Japan throughout 2004 in celebration of the Sega Saturn's 10th anniversary.
LMAO! Hard to come with a thing worth celebrating less. Although Nintendo ended up releasing cardboard VirtualBoy...

Virtual Boy only has one good game, the Saturn has at least like 5 I think (all shmups)

You do know that's just the ground, right? You can leave it completely disconnected and it'll make no difference, what matters are the 4 contacts on the inside, and those are usually gold plated.
