Not sure on the technical details of exactly how long they last, but I've heard similar things several times before.
Always depressing to be reminded of this. Haven't had many fail, but honestly haven't tried a lot of my 3DS/Vita games in a while, so who knows.
If nothing else tho, it's nice to have an excuse to revisit some things. Once you boot it up, you might find yourself enjoying the reminiscing. :)
i have a bunch of 3DS carts i've barely used in almost a decade..
does anyone know a good way to dump all those carts and their save data so they can be used on emulators? have a 2DS XL but it isn't CFWed yet
There is a video from Linus tech tipe on how to get data off the cartridges and digitalise them onto your pc
