How come the Nintendo Entertainment System NES has a flashing grey screen when you put the game in?

One reason: Connection Error.

The thing is, when Nintendo made the North American and European NES, North America was going through the infamous video game crash of 1983. So in order for them to convince retailers to stock it, they called it an Entertainment System instead of a video game system(I heard it was originally supposed to be called the Advanced Video System or Nintendo Video System, which would make it AVS or NVS. It kind of sounds like "envious"). This is also the reason they marketed the system with R.O.B. to separate it from other systems.

Q: Okay, what does that have to do with my malfunction?

A: One thing to also convince retailers was its design. Instead of it being a top loader, it looks more like an old 8 track tape player, which explains why you can choose AV output(Future models were top loaders with only RF, but were talking about the original "toaster oven" one).

This explains why you have to push down on the game for it to read properly, but doing that for over 28+ years can bend the 72 pin connector, which is what reads the games. So then comes the dreaded flashing grey screen of death. The Red Ring of Death of the 80s.

Q: Does this mean my NES is as useful as a broken car?

A: Don't worry, it is completely fixable. Here are some solutions.

1: Do the old trick of blowing on your cartridges. But this only works if your system reads games every now and then. This won't help if your systems constantly won't read the games

2: Clean your cartridges with a Q-Tip and Windex.

3: Go out and replace the 72 pin connector. This is if all else fails. It may seem extreme, but its rather simple. All you need is a small Philips head screw driver, and a new 72 pin connector. You can find instructional videos and more on the web, and you can find the connector on Ebay or Amazon for $5 - $10.

Your system may mock you for now, but with this, you'll be playing with power again like in the 80s.

Did the n64 ever actually use 64 bits?

Yes, occasionally. Most games actually used mainly 32-bit data operations, since that was usually "good enough" and while the CPU itself was capable of 64-bit precision, the data bus was only 32 bits wide so 32 bit code was significantly faster.

1984 Mazda b2000 it has a bad backfire and dieseling problem each time you shut off the engine it does one or both before coming to a full stop how do you go about fixing the problem at hand?

More than likely the emision system is not operating properly. Clean all electrical contacts, and check/verify all vacuum controll devices are operating properly. While I can't address a Mazda specifically, it should be noted that any time an engine is turned off the injectors are SUPPOSED to stop. You may have one or more leaky injectors that keep letting fuel out until the fuel pressure drops. That would be a real puzzle to me. Before that, I would check the timing. It is probably set too fast.
