!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It's a cartridge type that uses flash media that degrades over time. So yeah, it's still an issue. More cartridges have probably died since 2021. I know one out of my three did back in 2023.

The 3DS handheld has an automatic repair function built-in that may be able to correct issues, but we also have tools you can use if you have custom firmware.
