catmando Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I'm experiencing issues where some cart images won't load, but if I try repeatedly sometimes they do. (This is without removing the cart or SD card, this is simply by turning the machine off and on, select game and repeat) Is this a bug/frustration that others are experiencing with their GDs?

I've had issues like this myself. For me I've found for me it's connections on the cart edge / connector which are marginal and sometimes causing a read or write issue, as after removing and cleaning the cart and / or connector the issue goes away.

Ok will give that a go and see if things improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmando Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 So, I clean the cartridge slot with some cardboard and IPA, there was hardly any signs of dirt on the larger slot, smaller slot had a little bit. But both are definitely clean now. Anyway result seems to be no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't this be just a read error as if the cart image wasn't written correctly it would already fail in the GD menu page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmando Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Sometimes (not all the time) I notice the red light on the cart comes on for a second or two when a game fails to load, does this mean anything or signify anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
