While the GBA was a huge leap forward from the GBC, it was the SP that took the industry to the next level. But it was the GameBoy Advance SP and the best Game Boy Advance SP games that really took center stage for me. The Original GameBoy, GameBoy Color, and GameBoy Advance all featured tons of incredible titles, and I had loads of fun playing many of them. In my humble opinion, that was the golden era of handheld gaming. Sorry for the long post, but I just thought I’d help people save a little money =] Some people are starting to have problems with their R/S/E cartridges, and I’ll bet anything that changing the battery would solve that, too.Īnd the reason that R/B/G/Y still work? They don’t have clocks, so they didn’t need an internal battery.The gaming landscape in the early 2020s is a far cry from what it was in the 1990s and early 2000s. There are many more help sheets on the internet, with pictures and in-depth description if you want them, but you DON’T need a soldering iron, as half of them seem to say…Use one if you want, but sticky tape works just as well and is a lot safer. Of course, you might have a problem with your gameboy, but try this first, cause it’s much cheaper, and it’s usually the problem. And don’t try to sue me if you stab your hand with a screwdriver or something, do this at your own risk… Put the cover back on, and hey presto, your game should work.ĭon’t be too heavy handed or you might damage the other components of the game. Then just put some stickytape over the top of the battery to ensure a good connection. It’s a bit of a pain to get the screw undone, but once you have, all you need to do is remove the battery (the big round silver thing, someone said they didn’t know what it looked like :p) and put a new one in place. If people are having problems with their gold/silver/crystal cartridges saying ‘save successful’ or whatever, and then they turn it on again only to find that their save is gone, and they only have a new game option, it almost certainly isn’t the gameboy that’s the problem.īefore going out and buying a gameboy off of ebay, or sending it to some obscure company who still sells gameboy parts, try changing the battery in your game cartridge. A quick check showed that you can expect to pay about $10 + shipping for a new copy.Ī lot of people have already said this, but just to clarify… That might be your easiest solution, though unfortunately you can’t copy across any game saves and will have to start the new game from scratch. Or, plan b, you’ll find that you can buy Pokemon Sapphire on eBay for pretty darn cheap. I’d call them and suggest that their “it won’t affect game play” message might well be completely inaccurate and see if you can convince them that having a game you paid for die on you isn’t a good way to make you a lifelong customer. If you are still concerned about this issue, and are interested in replacing the game, please call our Consumer Service Department at 1-80.”īasically, you’re out of luck. To repair the issue, the game must be replaced, which will result in a loss of all of save data. The save info is preserved in the game’s memory chip, not the battery. For the most part, other than a few minor events, this will not affect game play, nor will there be any loss of saved data. “This occurs when there is a problem with the internal battery of the Pokémon game pak that regulates the clock feature of the game. Then the problem with Pokemon Sapphire’s “Internal battery has run dry” error message has a straightforward – though crummy – message from Nintendo’s help site: Check it out, there’s some pretty useful information there. That’s from Nintendo’s Gameboy Help Area on their site. Due to the age of the game, we cannot offer repair or replacement.” “In a very few Pokémon Red and Blue game paks, the battery chip inside the game may become disconnected. and Japanese games, it will destroy the saved data on both game paks, forcing players to re-start their games from scratch. However, if the game or system is very dirty, you will need to have it cleaned by Nintendo. “Games may also erase if the connectors are dirty or damaged.You may use a cleaning kit. Make sure you are waiting a few seconds after the save message disappears before turning the system off. “In some rare cases, the saved data in Pokémon may be lost if you reset or turn your system off too soon after saving a game. I usually don’t field Pokeman questions, but let’s have a stab at this one, shall we? I hate to think that you’re having problems with your Gameboy Color, after all… First off, the problem with the game save failing is probably this issue that they classify as “Game Keeps Erasing”:
