Question
the thing on the bottom of my game that inserts into the game system is loose.how do i fix it?

Answer
Gday Bob,

It sounds like the tabs they internally hold the PCB in place have broken allowing the PCB to move.  You will need the security bits that open Nintendo the game to fix.

You can either open the game and hot glue the PCB back in black or find a unloved sports game and swap out the cartridge case (Most all Cartridges cases are the same and will hold your game in place)

Hope this helps
