What are "tounges"?

The disk should have 2 tabs, one on each side.

Look in the top right and top left corners.

If yours have been popped out you will need to cover the holes with some tape.

They're both intact, placed tape over the holes, still error 26.

Sadly, I don't currently own any other FDS game that saves, but I can confirm there are some splotches on the disk that i tried rubbing off with q-tips.  Should I keep trying to get rid of them, or shall i just return the disk?

What kind of cleaner do you recommend?
