			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>yeah, ditto def the newer batch.&nbsp; emails are trickling in.&nbsp; didn&#039;t have any before this last batch that i can recall, and they are all the same issue (the DMG stuff) currently.&nbsp; the only commonality is the cart itself and it being DMG guts.&nbsp; shells vary, types of mods vary, but its only in the DMG afaik.&nbsp; because they are all working in peoples other consoles, and even in other random DMGs but not some particular one (someone had a few consoles to try with).</p><p>however, the good news is that the business card trick is so far undefeated...&nbsp; i think double-sided tape might work too, to borrow something EMS did some years ago with a similar issue.&nbsp; i&#039;ll suggest that if i get any future emails about this.&nbsp; it will give it a little lift but also &#039;disable&#039; any wiggle</p><p>will also shoot abrasive an email right now and make sure he&#039;s caught up.&nbsp; i only have one cart from the last batch, and one from the first, so me testing them doesn&#039;t reveal much.&nbsp; however, the PCBs are measuring the same on these two (doesn&#039;t mean the batch wasn&#039;t a mix of different runs of the PCB, though).&nbsp; there are manufacturing tolerances in anything, so it could just be an unhappy mistake where the tolerances on the shell and PCB *in a particular cartridge* are both very slightly shy and just make a difference.&nbsp; there are a whole slew of factors really.&nbsp; even the edge finger treatment.&nbsp; who knows...&nbsp; but i can&#039;t tell squat on just two carts, so i&#039;ll see if abrasive will check his batch and we can see whats up.</p><p>but, like i said, the card stock is working fine.&nbsp; the fingers just need raised a hair.</p>]]></content>

The older one is slightly less see through and feels just a tad sturdier. It works in all of my DMGs. The newer one works in my DMG with the ASM shell but not in my DMG with the Kitsch shell.</p>]]></content>
