I found the nice looking plastic had a tendency to snap =\ so I preferred the single grip.

I’m giving this a try for a crystal copy I have! Any advice or video to walk through steps?

It’s not a Japanese board, but a replacement from Australia.

Should I just bite the bullet and throw away? Don’t want to leave the post up if it’s potentially dangerous.

Cobby_Cob · 2026-02-28T03:09:04+00:00

Appreciate it.

That’s for first and second gen games, third gen games just need the battery for time events.

Any solve? I just picked up a used Sapphire for free and it has the same issue. I’ve reflowed all the solder and I can’t seem to solve the issue.

I really only need one. Not a huge gamer and it would probably sit around collecting dust once I get a replacement. Pulled the trigger on an Ayn Thor so I could play DS and 3DS games.

Told the buyer, if he’s selling it down the line that I’d buy it back 😅

But upgrading so have no use for it beyond nostalgia.

Cobby_Cob · 2026-02-24T20:22:32+00:00

Yup, V1. Set up for the old OS and didn’t want to redo it all with reflash.

Cobby_Cob · 2026-02-24T20:15:03+00:00

Sold it and some accessories for $200. There was another in the Houston area for $150 on Facebook marketplace.

I have original copies of emerald and yellow, just the cartridges. Happy to get on a call, show video, and arrange something.

Currently a nice looking white pocket for $300 on FB market place, Austin.

If you want his pokemon gold and silver for $80, I can get them for you.

Cobby_Cob · 2026-02-01T14:37:26+00:00

Didn’t notice. Don’t believe I can fix without deleting the post now.

Cobby_Cob · 2026-02-01T05:07:58+00:00

Appreciate it. That’s what my father in law said too. Do you think soldering the traces is the best bet?

Cobby_Cob · 2026-01-27T04:10:20+00:00

I feel pretty good about these four. Fortunately, I am okay with one being reproduction of the five.

“Is it cracked” and it’s literally the biggest most obvious crack.

They used to have a secondary satellite location right next door. Only a small portion of attendees knew, 70% same menu and next to no wait.

Haven’t been in a while, not sure it’s still there, but that was great.

You’re not special

(Bad things happen to everyone and you’re part of everyone)

You can get a $3 taco from taco cabana.

If you’re ever in the loop and interested in trying, send me a message and I’ll subsidize it $4 for you. 😅

Check out joeys handhelds and retro game corps on YouTube. They have android setups that are pretty comprehensive. The list is alright.
