Not for the N64. The games always booted on the first attempt.
Furthermore, the spit from your breath can corrode the contacts, which can make the problem worse. Your N64 games were having issues cause you kept blowing on them.
Crucial? … it was necessary … plus you had to wave it around in your hand like a fan to make it do something and then once you inserted it, you had to nudge it to the left, right, back, forth, up, down until you found just the right nudge to get it to work
That was for the controller when the game actually started running … I was talking about the original NES catridge problems … once you inserted the cartridge and it didn’t work, one trick you did was to nudge the cartridge ever so slightly to the left, right, up, down or push it by a fraction of an inch or back … eventually one of those movements placed the cartridge in the right place to get it to work.
But those button combinations … we tried getting our hands on gaming magazines to find codes but seldom did. I didn’t live near any cities or near any stores that had good magazines (or any magazines lol) … but it was like magic if you happened to stumble on a cheat code by accident and then spend weeks trying to recreate it only to never find it again.
