You can easily make it more reliable just by making larger features, and then no mechanical thing can even come close to compare to how reliable digital circuits are. There is a reason 40 year old NES consoles still works today, they are very reliable because the circuits are so large. To break those old machines you have to essentially melt them.

- NobodyNada 7mo agoI know quite a few people who've had SNESes with failing ICs in recent years (mainly PPU and APU chips). That's pretty annoying because the only way to get replacement parts is from a donor console.
