There is a Gameboy Advance emulator for the black and white Macintosh? Yep.

Not convinced to replace leaking electrolytic capacitors? Okay, take this. One forum member Dog Cow had the RIFA safety capacitor blow up. “And it’s always so dramatic! Just huge clouds of gray smoke pouring out of the vents like there was a dirty fire inside the case!! Too bad I didn’t have my camera handy.”

Beware if your floppy disk drive sticks, don’t force it! It could be that the lubricant dried up and turned into glue, open it up, clean the old lubricant off, and put in new lubricant.

Also, another interesting tidbit of advice, don’t put floppy disks to the left side of your Macintosh, the analog board and power supply generate a considerable amount of EMI that can mess with them and erase them. The right side is safer, or at least far away to any side.
