>inb4 chinkshit clone
i bought a clone Pokemon crystal, and even with a new battery it will lose it save game after a few months of not playing. Is there anything I can solder on the board to prevent this? I'd really rather not pay overpriced cart with a scrbbled label, i just wanted the pokemon experience again since I let a friend borrow my Crystal back in 2002 and never saw it again.

>> No.6474914

you get what you pay for. get a flashcart instead, that way you can enjoy the rest of the gbc library

that sounds like a good idea but i only had about 10 gameboy games growing up and i still have all of them except pokemon crystal. I have pokemon red and yellow but something about gbc support for G/S/C was more appealing

>>6474884
I have the exact chink crystal on your pic and they don't need battery for saves. Is it a different one? Maybe post a picture of the board and someone with more knowledge can help you.

Holy shit. I don't know if that is dirt or spiderwebs on the lower right of each chip. Both chips look poorly soldered in, and I swear two legs look like they aren't even soldered on. And what the fuck happened with that battery? Both sides on the top look like the PCB melted where someone took way too high of a temp and no flux to it.

your best bet is to just fucking get it on virtual console for 10$ or emulate. even if you managed to get a legitimate Crystal cart loaded up with a working battery it still will die every ~5 years or so. Think about digital wrist watches, and how they die out every few years or so. Your saves are stored on that exact same type of battery, a CR2032, which btw, even if you replace, you won't be able to keep your save file unless you do some trickery like I think having the game running while you're swapping it out. And that's assuming you even catch it in time before your battery dies. It's just not worth it.

Because gen 2 pokemon carts specifically were not well designed and have way, way higher power consumption than any average cartridge.

There are still RBY carts today with working batteries and the battery powered RTC carts from gen 3 lasted at least over a decade. GSC were just fucked.

Unrelated to your battery issue, but you can buy a cart flasher\dumper that can reflash these with whatever game(s) you want. Iv had issues with old gba clone carts, but havent found a modern gb cart i couldnt reflash. It basically turns the cheap $5 clone carts into flash carts

Just a friendly piece of advice. Take it or leave it. Your shitposting style is pretty consistent and it's starting to get you noticed.

i use a joey jr, but u can apparently use an arduino. with the joey, u just pop the cart into the reader, plug reader into pc via usb, and in the software select write rom to cart (and pick correct cart type\size). I think in the new ones its drag and drop which is nice

Thats because most flashcarts first boots thier "Operating System rom" where you select a game from the flashcards menu. Then the flash cart writes the game then boots it. So pokemon stadium sees it as another gb game since it sees the flash cart OS rom and doent boot. However if you get something like the GB USB smart card 64MB you actually load the rom via usb. This is different since you burn the game yourself to the flash cart then plug into the transfer pack and stadium sees the pokemon rom since the only data is the rom you burned. The 64m doesnt have a operating system.
It hss nothing to do with mis matching voltages, you,re just remembering an article wrong

>> No.6499965

>>6499895
You can do the same thing with many pre-SD flash carts. The boot loader is just a ROM that displays a menu, maps the selected ROM to the right space and reboots. If you overwrite the boot loader with the pokemon ROM you basically make a pokemon "repro" that works like the original. Anon is a switch baby who's never seen those kinds of carts and is too retarded to even parrot correctly.

A local pawn shop has a NISB Gameboy Player for like 300$, it's fucking absurd.

At least there's some CFW options for Gamecube now, apparently there's a CFW for the Gameboy Player that's actually a better emulator than the official disk.

The gameboy player has gba hardware, it isnt emulation.But the softwares called its called Game Boy Interface GBI. It nice since it can play the gameboys in 240p. Get yourself a action replay with sd memory card and a cheap japanese gameboy player then you're golden.
