I had (what sounds like) a similar problem with seven games in my collection. I contacted Retro USB and I was told to look to see if the connectors were flush against the board or not (also, there is a green strip visible on the other side of the cart). Each of the seven problem carts had the same design on their circuit boards. It is indeed a flaw in the connector on the current AVS. Replacements will (apparently) be made available as soon as possible.
It is possible to get these games to work, however, with the existing pin connector. You can either remove the circuit board out of the cart (plug it in, and it works fine, but this is a huge pain), or, if you insert the cart all the way to the right (you may need some shimmying skills), the game will also work. I can confirm this technique to be workable.
Attached I have included pics of the board from Nintendo's published Tetris (which has the configuration that does not work with a straight insert into the AVS).
Will using something like a green strip game on a Game Genie work as a temporary fix when playing it on the AVS?
