I tend to clean it from time to time but god damn this is way too excessive of dust which I never expected to see on my Wii U's SD Card slot:

I'll have to use a hoover to clean this cause a q-tip won't do the job.

My other consoles with USB/Card slots never had this issue so just what the hell did Nintendo do?!

I think yer house is just to dusty.

I also tend to clean me PS3/360 once a year, it also has some dust on the fans but not on the components much.

Consoles aren't made to be opened and cleaned, they're basically plug & play so any hoovering is external.

How the heck???

My sd card door is ALWAYS opened and there isn't such amount of dust...

I also always keep an sd card in though.
Since I have a dummy SD Card I'll probably put it in there just to see if it makes less dust, it probably will, hopefully.

But seriously, this is fucking unbelievable! What the hell happened with Wii U?! :-S

But I do clean it, it just happens it collected dust way too quickly. If you knew me you'd know I hate dirty stuff.

Then something is wrong in your house lol.

I swear I never saw such amount of dust in my entire life in game consoles.

Does the Wii U use positive or negative air pressure for cooling? If negative it is likely there is some sort of leak internally around the SD slot so air being sucked in through there. OR Something isn't grounded correctly with the slot so it is acting as a dust magnet. OR You just play the thing to damn much, Mr. 10k. :)

Laptops also aren't meant to be opened.
Nor do tellies.

I just take them apart and clean them, fuck what manufacturers say, I want me shit to keep on working.

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
