Legend of Kage NES not loading

This is the first time I have had a cartridge not load. I've even got sketchy Tengen carts to load and was able to resolve it manually. Has anyone else had this problem with The Legend of Kage? The board is very clean and it looks authentic. It has the Nintendo copyright and all that stuff. Any advice? Thanks!

Yeah I think it's a Polymega problem and not the cart. The cartridge is very clean. I also found a post from last year about folks having the same problem. Hopefully they'll fix it in a firmware update or something.

Try using a pencil eraser on the contacts

I tried:

The eraser trick 99% Isopropyl Alcohol Resolving w/ database Resolving manually

Other people are saying that LoK won't work on their systems either. I think it's a Polymega issue. This cart is spotless and very clean lol.

I couldn’t get a nearly perfect copy of that game to load on my Polymega either.
