A reminder that 3DS cartridges (especially ones that aren’t used in many years) are prone to failure 🙁 – boot them up once in a while.

My Pokemon Y just crashes randomly while I’m playing
Yes, I tried the Corruption Fixer version of GodMode9…. seems like it’s too far gone. Left it for a few hours and hundreds of thousands of refreshes and it’s still at 0%. Dumping the cart results in a game that crashes.
Thankfully dumping the save with Checkpoint DID seem to work! Imported it into a digital copy and seems to be good.
Yeah my smash 3ds cartridge died after only like 5 years of owning it. You can still get the save you had though with a modded 3ds
What?!
For real?
I dont have a ton of games, but some of them are untouched for well over 13 years. Lol.
Now I am scared.
But I also have a ton of DS games well over 15 years old, and every now and then, I boot them up and they work fine. Is it just a 3ds thing?
Does it have something to do with how I storage them? All my games are stored together in a Tupperware haha
Built-in time bomb?
“Take that, physical game collectors!”
-Nintendo, Sony, MS
Does this affect all 3ds games? I recall reading about specific games back then
I don’t really want to have to make a decision about my sealed louvre guide…
I recently dumped all my cartridges and then sold them off for fear this might happen. My game card reader has an issue too where it doesn’t read games unless I turn the system off first so having everything digitally just made more sense for me at this point.
I tested most of my 3DS ones a couple weeks ago, they work 🙂 played two rounds of Smash
