Dec 14, 2023 · I've found that a significant percentage of my old carts that worked okay with my old 2600s will fail the first time or two I try them in the 2600+. Sometimes the carts will start working fine after a couple of inserts, yet other times they need a thorough cleaning of the contacts.

I see it as a type of DRM protection that makes sure you own the carts. They also sell new $30 games on carts, so they have a vested interest in it not being able to store roms internally or allowing flash carts like everdrives. There’s a possibility of firmware updates to fix issues.
