Cleaning and storing your cartridges (methods, etc.)
Ozzy_98:
The dielectric would attract dust to the grease, and you could then wipe it off when you wanted to play, so might be ok for long-term storage. But it's not like the contacts are going to rust in the next year or three, if they do, something is very very wrong with where you're storing them.
Pepe_el_mago:
so, you think just leaving them inside the UGC with a silica bag will be enought to prevent corrosion for the next 80 years? i just want them to last my lifetime.
Ozzy_98:
good luck finding a way to hook them to a TV in 80 years. Or living that long. Other than something like electroplating the contacts that'd be the best. Or coating them with something that needs cleaned off when you play with them.

This is why I will entomb myself with the games like a pharaoh. Just toss them into the casket with me.
Pepe_el_mago:
lol so you think my games will survive for some more years just leaving them w/out the gold layer and leaving them inside the UGC w/ a little silica bag? is that safe?
