i recommend lots of gbatempers to clean flashcard contacts.
and i sure do that too..
but lately i come across with a problem, i have several old cartridges that no matter what i do or clean, they don't work unless i blow them
i tried to clean with alcohol. put them on a box full of rice (my house got some humidity, and rice is a cheap and easy solution) but they don't "plug and play" they require blowing.. and i'd like to avoid to do that and preserve the cartridges...
so, i would want tips how to fix this, and explanation why does this happen, i have boxes for them, i dont think there is dust or stuff inside the carts
i may as well try to clean the DS itself, but my flashcarts work flawlessly
i mainly have DS and gba carts.. but this is a problem that also happens on every old cartridge pratically..
