I confess I've been tempted by Evercade stuff, but I've only gotten the Neo Geo specific little handheld, for sentimental reasons. I appreciate the heads up about the carts' lifespan though!

Pretty sure it isn't a major issue, just a thing that can happen. They know it can happen, so perhaps they're working on solutions. It happened on a cart that required lots of saving (Cathedral) and I read similar complaints about lots of carts on Reddit. I still have a Taito Super Pocket that nobody wanted to buy. It is my airplane Bubble Bobble machine.
