Hot-Swapping 3DS Cartridges - Nintendo 3DS Forum

Kit · 2011-05-16T11:15:39+00:00

Does anyone hot-swap their 3DS games (i.e change their cartridges whilst on the 3DS home screen)? The DSi allows to for hot-swapping games and it works just fine, but I read in the 3DS instruction manual that you are supposed to turn the 3DS off before changing the game cartridge. It seems a bit odd to me if you can hot-swap on the DSi but not the 3DS. I'm wondering whats the worst that can happen if you did do it on the 3DS, potential file/savegame corruption on the 3DS cart or SD Card maybe?!!

I hate hot-swapping. I find it damaging, even if it works fine. I'm paranoid with expensive technology.

No kidding. Your treating your 3DS like a DS Lite.

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.

@TeeJay: if she wants to do it that way, it's her choice, same as if you prefer to hot-swap.
