Hatta wrote:Metal doesn't permanently deform until you reach a threshold level of stress. The displacement of the pins on any well designed cart slot should be in the elastic range, where it will return to its normal shape when the cart is removed. This doesn't apply to the NES connector of course, but any typical cartridge connector should be safe.CRTGAMER wrote:The console contacts are spring loaded, with a cart permanent plugged in the "spring" is always compressed.
