Experiment with a car.


I had trouble inserting the cassette, but it started up properly.


So, it is the result that it will succeed in most durability experiments. Like the Japanese Famicom, as long as it is used for a long time, there are problems such as connection with the main unit going wrong, but the cassette itself seems to be able to start even in a very bad situation.
