Topic: Portrait of Ruin game cart question

[Cold Windy Night]

My copy of PoR rattles when I shack it. Is that common or am I unlucky?

[DoctaMario]

I have came carts that do that. Maybe the board inside is a little loose, but it's nothing to be concerned about if it still works.

Thanks Docta, that makes me feel a little better. 

Does anyone know if there any copies out there that do not have this problem?

Mine rattles as well.  You're not alone.

Funny, my PoR cart rattles but not my DoS or OoE carts.

Excuse me while I overanalyze how this inconsistency relates to the instability of humanity to resist Dracula's evil forces in all 3 time periods.

Yea, I have that problem as well.

This was talked about when PoR came out- its something about the type of size chip X MB chips= whatever games use them- have this issue... sometimes youll boot your DS and it wont see the game.

My PoR did not rattle, but then one day it started not seeing the game...and it rattled- so I rattled it around and it worked.

Nothing to worry about- but be aware about.

Mine rattles, mine also freezes on occasion, and I'm not alone with that problem either.

They didn't fix those bugs til the PAL version, which I am willing to bet doesn't rattle either.

Mine rattles, just went and made sure. I put it in the DS one day randomly, and it didn't read it. I was worried, thought it was the DS, so I just took out the cart and put it back in, booted up the DS and it saw it. Shit reminds me of SNES/NES days. Hmm, maybe even 64.
