Xavi Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 @Robin:> @Xavi:> > > Well maybe if you found a way to replace the batteries while the game is powered by the gameboy? I'd be impressed if you did.> > … you're suggesting we take off the cover of the game and unsolder a battery from the cartridge _whilst it's running and powered up?_I'm talking very theoretically here. I mean technically if somebody did do that and somehow not mess it up, then you should be able to keep your data, right? I don't see why not.

I should replace it before it does!" The problem is that if you do, you'll still lose your game data whether you do it before the battery runs out or not as soon as you take it out.If you1\. Turned on the gameboy2\. Loaded your save data3\. Somehow opened the cartridge while it's still in the gameboy4\. Replaced the battery5\. Saved the game againThen you should technically be able to keep your game data even when you just replaced the battery. Get what I'm saying?

Robin Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Yes, but you can't just ignore the fact that it's physically impossible to remove the cover whilst it's in the gameboy, and you're going to end up shorting out your entire cartridge and/or gameboy by fucking around with the circuitry whilst it's still on.

Thorn Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 heh, I replaced the battery in my Pokemon Silver cart after I dropped it into a bucket of water. No soldering iron, just packed the area around it with non-conductive foam. keeps everything in place, easy as hell.…wait, I sold that cart to Renzo. I wonder how it's holding up xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Pokémon.. where is the time. I used to play yellow (as my friends had the other versions).My game got deleted like 4 times, 1 time because I killed zapdos and rebooted the gameboy. Once with mew, and 2 times because the battery ran out? not sure.Ah nostalgia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
