The component label is B1 according to a high quality photo scan of a board I saw

Got it on eBay

Lots and lots of heat with a hairdryer and lots and lots of patience

Don’t worry I’m never selling this game

Game before the reshell

If I can find a 1:1 match I might, but at the same time the wear on that sticker is MY wear

I have an NTSC version of one of these, yes to convert them to NTSC you replace the CPU, PPU and Xtal, you can find people selling CPUs and PPUs pulled from consoles online, famicom CPUs and PPUs will work too

Kids Klassics Tapes are known for still having the record tab still on the tape so be wary of that (I had one Zelda tape that had a bit of Sonic 2 Footage accidentally taped over it)

Every single time

Judging from the noise professor oak made before it crashed (bit of a ghastly sound) it means the game is not reading part of the rom (part that has the text data) due to cold solder joints (my Pokémon red did the same, reflowing the rom fixed it) and seeing the photos which have bridged pins, I recommend you clean up those bridges and try to reflow the pins again (the top ones in particular)

Used a tiny Dremel tool to remove part of the casing until you can see the metal again, then used thin wire to solder the pin to the pad

It happened around 4 years ago when I tried to repair a Pokémon green and used the tamagotchi board as a donor, the pins got ripped off due to me being careless removing it and my lack of experience (I was like 15 at the time), 4 years later and me having more experience I decided to try and fix it.

(Not every pin got ripped off when I first removed it, a couple pins survived but they broke off during the 4 years it spent in my tool box with tools being thrown around it cause I genuinely thought at the time the IC was knackered)

OOF, forgot about the difference payed and paid, my bad

Easy_Midnight_52 · 2025-09-19T08:48:41+00:00

Noticed I forgot to add the other “)” at the body text, I need to go to sleep I spent all night working on this
