Will magnets hurt GBA or DS games?

[godsey1]

Just wondering if anyone on here can tell me if the magnets that you put on the side of vehicles will hurt GBA or DS games? My wife is going to visit her family in another state, and will be taking her DS with some of her games, along with a set of magnets that she has bought for our neice. Thanks for any help,

They will not, so no worries.

Not unless you smash the games with the magnets.

If you had a strong enough magnet, you could physically pull the chips apart....but your talking like high grade electromagnets (or maybe huge rare earth magnets) Small typical consumer magnets won't hurt the games though, and most vehicle magnets are just oversized refridgerator magnets and will barely stick to metal to start with You shouldn't have to worry about it.

piece of advice, never take superconductor magnets on a ride

Thanks for the responces. The airport magnets didn't affect the games one bit hanks again for the help,
