So, one time or another, we have all slightly knocked our Megadrives and crashed the game.
Yeah, it's annoying, also, after widening my cartridge slot to take Japanee games, it's easier to crash games, just even resting my feet on the table it's on can crash any game.
Any fix for this?
Sorry if a repost
Clean your cart slot and push the pins slightly so they're abit tighter.
Ive done this and to test I "wobble" the cartridge when its on, Since doing the above even with ferocious wobbling ive not managed to get it too crash.
Cart slot you need a credit type cart and tissue roll soaked in either alcohol or windowleen or somin similar.
push the pins from the top with a tiny screw driver, not too hard just a lil shove.

Yep, not a huge deal as cartridge slots are replaceable and new Megadrives are cheap.
Although I did just a break a superior audio/video model Megadrive 1, and I feel bad.
Dude....not good.
sure their is someway to fix it? if you didn't strike the motherboard and just bent a pin down too far it can be fixed.
even with your butter fingers ;)
It most probably can be fixed, right now, the pins are in a shape that the cartridges won't even go in the slot ><
So yeah, it most probably can be fixed.
