NES Game Genie

Why do you say that?

Well the fact that they wreck your cart slot and pin connector seems to come to mind.

What about for occasional use? Like once in a great while?

Not as bad, but you're still severely stressing the cartridge port and connector of a twenty five year old machine so do it at your own risk to the console.

As I said earlier, I think you'll be fine if it's just every once in a while. At least, I never had a problem, and I rarely use my Game Genie.

What do you mean the "cartridge port"?

IE: The mechanism into which you load a cartridge.

It can get stressed more than with just a regular cart when you use a Game Genie as well.

hmm..didnt realize it was so bad for the connecters, but i guess it makes sense. i always used mine because it gave me a good, solid connection.
