I wish there was cheap reflashable cartridges with RTC and dont corrupt save files randomly. I want to make my own cartridges for some of the better rom hacks. With a decent printer and some holographic paper you can make nintendo quality labels at home easily. the best part of the pokemon games were all the cool cartridges they made for the games. thats the reason why they the carts sell for insane prices today. I may just make my own carts just for display purposes and reflash on the shitty bootleg carts.

this is well known fact with bootleg carts, confirmed by many, i believe its not a cart issue but when they flash these carts they dont put any effort in to how the rom saves so eventually the data gets corrupted and you lose the save. im still trying to figure out if these carts if flashed properly with a well patched rom will still corrupt over time.

playing these shit repro carts is gay anyways since they dont have RTC anyways so you need to set the time to do anything.

I read every single word of that page and there is not one single line about saves being overwritten as your progress towards the end of the game or accumulate a lot of hours on a save.

All I see are technical hurdles and solutions of how to overcome these hurdles. All relating to the difference between using the flash memory as a storage medium for saves vs old fashioned SRAM.
Chinese repro makers can use these same solutions for their work. Any repro maker's page should be filled with positive reviews indicating the quality of their product, and the integrity of save files. You'd be a fool to buy from one without reading feedback first.

You have failed to cite your claim.

Not that anon, but it's true. Had a FireRed from AliExpress, not battery operated, flash. The game save is stored in the same file as the ROM, I think only one DS homebrew app actually allows you to dump and separate the files, no way to upload back to the cart if you edit anything on your computer. If you keep playing from the cart without backing up at least once, you'll get fucked. In my case the save got corrupted after I beat the elite four for the first time. It's better to buy a cheap, reflashable cart from AliExpress and put Pokémon on it yourself. Think YuGiOh was reflashable and had lots of storage space, but don't quote me on it, been ages.

official or pirate carts? 'cause IIRC there's a list of official games that used flashmemory and it's suprisingly a low number of them compared to the huge number of GBA games that were released.

back in the 2000s or so, all pirate carts used RAM+Battery to save games much like the GBC/GB carts. flashmemory used to be more expensive than RAM chips.

I have found my EZ Flash Jr to be very buggy. It crashes on reboot if the game's .sav file doesn't already exist, for example. It also uses noticeably more power which sucks because I like to use the GB Pocket.

In terms of features the EZ Jr does have RTC and it loads games faster. But I am happier with my "game color gb" knockoff cart.

There's no RTC, so if that's a deal breaker for you it is what it is, but otherwise they do the exact same thing and have nearly 100% compatibility. I have an "official" EverDrive GB X3 (the old cheapest one) and I just use RTC patches for the 2nd gen PKMN games. The EZ Flash as another anon mentioned is a total power hog so it can make a GB Pocket reset itself. The ED clones can too but they're a little bit beter. If you're using a DMG, Color, or Advance it's a non-issue.

Not really, especially with HGSS and onwards. I speak no Japanese and I played through HG in Japanese with an imported cart (I figured I'd already played GSC so it shouldn't be too hard) and had so little trouble I ended up importing Black and played through that as well. There's enough visual detail in the UI that doesn't require knowing Japanese that it wasn't a problem. Things like stats are in the same order that they would be in English, types of attacks are all color coded, and the accuracy and damage numbers are still readable.

The actual cause of the save issue is that many bootlegs have only 64k of SRAM while the save files of the pokemon games are 128k. Due to how the save file is structured the game will initially work fine with 64k but once you get to the hall of fame the save file will get corrupted.

So then it has nothing to do with what started this discussion to begin with, which was the following
>The chinese repros are trash, by the time you beat the game theres a high chance your save will be lost, since due to cost cutting measures they store the save file on the rom itself and will run out of room for the save.
Which means the person who made that post had no idea what they were talking about and had mixed up SRAM and flash memory.

That's not how that works. There's entire megabytes of free space in a Gen 3 Pokemon ROM, a save file is 128KB.

Bootleg save corruption happens because the save file gets stored in 64KB SRAM rather than the usual 128KB. Even if the bootleg is batteryless, the SRAM is still used to buffer the save before the load/save routine is called, so the save file still gets truncated.

>GBA Pokemon games

So...what's the argument against emulation here?
These are not action games. Lag is not going to matter.
The GBA is a simple system with very accurate emulation, and doesn't require a lot of power to run either.
The games originally ran on the GBA LCD, which was actually a few different kinds of LCD models.
Chinkhelds have LCD displays as well, and some of them even have the GBA aspect ratio.

It just seems like the rational thing to do is to play these games for free on a $40 handheld where you can do all kinds of back-ups, transfers, and conversions of your save files with ease.

speaking of "making your own" is there any way to get a bulk supply of cheap back shells for super famicom carts? Long time ago I started buying a bunch of SFC games because american copies are too expensive and the types of games I like to play don't require reading moonrunes. But the big problem is that, for whatever reason, jap carts all seem to have this issue where the back shells are disgusting and yellowed even when the front shells are fine. Trying to find jap SNES games with carts that are still gray is a ridiculously hard task. Even if you just try to buy bulk lots of junk majohg carts to harvest their backs, like 95% of them will be yellow.

most pokefags are obsessives who only use real hardware because emulating doesn't check enough nostalgia checkboxes for them. asking them "why don't you just play it in an emulator for free?" is as futile as asking "why don't you just play a good game instead of this simple game for young children that you've already played for hundreds of hours?"

Ah, thanks. I don't think I would ever have the opportunity to move to Japan (married with kids and wife wants to live near her parents), but I have enjoyed translated light novels and considered that I would probably enjoy just being able to read books in Japanese outright, and have also have a bit of a curiosity regarding what the nonenglish and nonwestern internet is like.

How do you make repros? Ignoring the fact I already have a complete set of authentic Pokemon games, literally THE reason repros suck ass were how often your saves could die for bullshit reasons. If the $10-20 copies of FR/LG you see on eBay were guaranteed to work, I would have never paid nearly $100 for an authentic FR cart

Honestly the Japanese work culture seems awful to me. Maybe rural farm Japan, away from the cities? But I suspect that would be way harder to manage as a foreigner. Either way, that's not going to happen.

I've got a dual EU citizenship though. Maybe we'll retire to somewhere in Europe when we're old.

I generally use my living room gaming PC and retroarch with gamepads, anon, and when I don't, I use my GPD XD to emulate up to PS1 games.

If I wanted to play other shit on my old GBA though (I still have FireRed and LeafGreen from forever ago), I would just get a flashcart and call it good enough. Even FireRed, I usually play it on the TV. Gaming on the couch is comfy.

So why do I need repros at all? They're an answer looking for a question.

Is there a reproduction board for GBC that supports both RTC and doesn't wipe your Gen II Pokemon save when the battery in it dies? I recently decided to try and finally get the final title screen for Stadium 2, but my Gen II games are all fucking dead, and I've already previously replaced the batteries on them twice before, and I'd rather not have to fucking do it again if I don't have to, a reproduction Gold/Silver/Crystal that doesn't wipe itself if the battery dies (but also supports the RTC and transfer pak) would be absolutely amazing.

I’ve got a couple of these. They’re funky. They use SRAM instead of FLASH for the save and the RTC chip is non standard. Therefore the ROM files have to be patched specifically to support the hardware. There are other ones that are good. One that says GB Flash and Crafty Simon on the back are basically equivalent to the InsideGadget carts and fully support all features natively.

>>10528076
I did actually already create a full set of reproduction carts that are all basically perfect with all features of the originals but rewritable. Just need more stickers for the rest.

GB Flash is a known good maker. I’ve been buying from them directly from their Chinese shop on xianyu. They have GB/GBC flash carts of all types and recently created GBA carts with RTC and variants with rumble and whatnot and claim that at this point they can basically make any GBA cart (solar, gyro, etc). They take heavy inspiration from insidegadgets calling him the “Australian god” lmao but meaning they are specifically designing and producing quality carts rather thank the shitty Chinese bootleg crap that’s been on the market for years. Here’s the RTC GBA cart I have from them.
