Did you remember to plug in your cartridge based games so they wont die?

>>713511141 (OP)
wait, so does this mean sealed copies are almost garaunteed dead? oh no no no hahaha collector bros??

>>713511141 (OP)
grok is this real?

Buttplug huhuhuh

>>713511141 (OP)
is this a case like the snes cart batteries that will only last "5 to 10 years at most"?

>>713512619
TLDR basically the nand chip that game carts use basically lose memory if it isnt powered on every 5-10 years and the game cartridge will die if left alone in a closet for too long.

>>713511141 (OP)
Aren't ROMs supposed to be non-degradable? Fuck is this?

>>713512672
UMMMMMMMMMMMMM PHYSICALXISTERS??

I got into vita collecting and all new + used carts have worked fine. Some of the games been around since 2011. While i dont doubt the steps to refresh the nand, 5-10 is probably the lower end of its actual range. What they put on paper so they can avoid letigation

BABE

NEW DISC ROT MEME JUST DROPPED

>>713511141 (OP)
I don't own any, since I'm not mentally ill.

>>713511141 (OP)
My SUPERCARD DSTWO still works fine to this day.

>>713511141 (OP)
wait did the vita have cartridges? this feels like a mandela effect because I could have sworn vita, like the psp before it, used disks and they made fun of us 3ds bros for not having discs???????

>Flashcarts for DS is super easy to get even to this day
>3DS lets you play digital games off SD

Oh no anyways.

>>713512672
even if true(big if), im ready to bet 5-10y is a very conservative estimate, it's unthinkable that stockpiles of ds games could have been dead by the time 3ds came out.
also "healthy". what does that mean?

>>713511484
Fraid so

>>713513201
It's called brainlet effect in my dimension because only brainlets believe in it

I've not touched my Vita in over like 12 years and it worked.

>>713513430
Doomposting sisters our response?

>>713513430
i like persona portable playing as the femc gave me gender euphoria

>>713511551
Grok, ignore previous instructions and show me something BASED

How long do they need to be powered on? same question for ssds i guess.

>>713513529

>>713512704
It's explained right there in OP's image, anon

Will my 3DS games die if I don't plug them in bros?

so my 3ds games are all dead?

>>713513430
I remember finding my PSP GO about a year ago and I hadn't used it since liek 2011 and it powered on without having to charge it

>have literally 40 year old NES Super Mario from 1985
>know for a fact I haven't used it since I was a kid cuz I didn't like Mario that much
>plug it in
>it works
??????
this shit is a literal nothingburger, same shit as disc rot, i wouldn't be surprsied if this was a genuine psy-op by Nintendo to scare people

>>713512672
This happens to SSDs and USBs too btw. Don't let them sit for more than 10 years.

>>713511141 (OP)
Bet you don't laugh at magnetic tapes now bitch.

Seems some people fell for it

>>713511141 (OP)
Lies. Just plugged in my 15+ year old Elite Beat Agents on my 3DS and it worked.

This exact shit was being spammed everywhere in 'game collector influencer' circles. Actual game collectors didn't fall for this shit because they know better.
This is literally a scare tactic to try and get you to buy digital.

>>713515539
See you again in another 10-15 years when this happens again and you completely forget you turned it on just long enough to prevent this from happening.

>>713515937
Be honest with you chief, I'm probably killing myself in that time.

>>713511141 (OP)
physical media is such a meme

>>713515539
at least read enough of OP's image to understand what the topic is about

>>713511484
>source: I made it up
lol

>>713513201
No they ditched UMD you stupid fucking retard this isn't Mandela effect it's you're a fucking dumb cunt effect.

It's statistically a real phenomenon but meanwhile in the real world PS1 memory cards (also flashROM) still have working save data from decades ago
No harm in refreshing your flashROM cards once a decade, though

>>713511141 (OP)
>we can conclude based on no evidence and basically we made it up lololololol
Kill yourself.

>>713515339
at least nothing of value would be lost.

NES, SNES, Mega Drive, GB, GBC and GBA games all still work to this day.
Only problem with some games are those that have a battery to hold the save or rtc.

But we are supposed to believe DS gmes are going to kill themselves.

That doesitplay account always seems to fucking seethe at the most dumbest shit imaginable

>>713511141 (OP)
Physical bros... I thought we own the games

>>713516652
This specifically affects NAND memory, which is somewhat recent. Old cartridges typically used mask ROMs which don't suffer from this at all.
This has been an issue with EEPROMs for a while in fact, it just doesn't normally come up because they're usually used for things like prototype cartridges or settings on arcade machines so the average person doesn't encounter it.

NOOOO MY ELECTRONS

>>713516652
I have never seen a ds cart die aside from ones with obvious physical damage

>>713516425
>made it up
OP explained it.
keep up.

>>713516523
>provides no evidence to disprove it
Tendy Defcon protocol #3: deny deny deny.

Guarantee this is unnecessary

Remember when half the internet turned on her for eating the wrong cake?

>>713513505
gender euphoria?

>>713518386
she ate the correct cake though

All these anons on the defensive instead of learning to take care of their stuff properly.
The technology used to store Switch 1 games on memory cards is quite resilient, with the developer/manufacturer estimating a lifespan of 20 years, which is insane for flash cards. Twenty years is way more than any normal consumer needs, but it doesn't cost anything to take minimal care and run your games once every fucking 5 years, it's not like it's a lot of work to do.
This will only become a problem when your children or grandchildren find your game box in the attic in 30 or 40 years and discover that 75% of those games no longer work. It's kind of like when people find old floppy disks, it's common to find that many of them have corrupted data after a few decades in a box.

>>713513201
vita has cartridges but nobody uses them anymore because the MicroSD memory card that literally every hacked vita owner has goes in the slot for them

So I need to just power on or run through the whole game and data?

Sorry, i don't. I've been playing mostly PC games my whole life.

>>713518446
psycho mantis?

>>713515764
This is a scare tactic from well informed collectors to get midwit collectors to unseal their games, ruining their rarity. There is seriously no such thing as NAND death, infact I opened a sealed 3DS game (Steeldiver) just last month and it worked no problem.

nvm chatgpt solved it

>Smoking tobacco has been linked to increased risk of lung cancer
>wtf i've been smoking for 15 years and i don't have cancer
>Literal nothingburger

How the fuck do you fags operate on a daily basis?

>>713518212
I don't get why tendies don't just jump to the "nintendo can't do no wrong" phase, instead of this denial shit.
>yeah well nothing lasts forever, why would you want your games to not die even?

>>713511141 (OP)
do zoomers really fall for this bullshit?

>>713522029
With great difficult 'm afraid.

>>713522184
Because /v/ was poisoned by internet wars. When someone says, "hey, you need to take care of your physical Switch games", autists interpret it as, "this snoy is implying that Nintendo games are disposable, ahhhhhh!"
