Topic: DS Games glitching & corrupting

I have a lovely DS Lite, I've noticed recently that a few games are really playing up. My Farm game Glitches out really bad the screen distorts the usual glitch stuff. One game corrupts at the same point in game, I've checked to make sure the game is legit so it's not a counterfeit. One became super glitchy, lagged and popped up with "the game has been removed"

Do I just have 3 bad games? Could they be moisture effected (my room gets a bit damp in winter) or is my DS unwell? Help!!!!

Try cleaning the contacts in both the cartridges and the console with a qtip or something.

@Alex-Jones all I can think of is do what @Eel has said and take a flashlight and look inside the cartridge slot for dirt and grime.

@Alex-Jones Hey, just FYI I've amended your thread title as it was pretty vague before. This just keeps the forums clear and people will be able to offer more help

I hope you manage to get it sorted!

I'd say you should clean out the cartridge slot if possible and also clean the contacts on the cartridge itself. It might also help to store the games in, for example, a towel, so that if the area you have your games stored gets wet then the cartridges won't get wet (unless they have water poured on them or are under a leak, for example). Good luck!

@Owl1 @Eel I tried these suggestions, games still glitch in not sure what's wrong
