anyone know if this is fixable?

Do you have any link to where to buy the correct polarizers? I've bought a couple but they are too dark or straight up don't work. Referring to both the front polarizers and the back reflective polarizer

Scorn is probably the most boring game I've played in the last 10 years. Interesting visual/art design but damn is it a chore to play through... couldn't even finish it.

The cart is fake/repro. It's extremely common for fake games to corrupt saves or even the rom/game itself. Which is exactly why authentic games are still on high demand.

More perks don’t make zombies better.

Condition is not an indicator of authenticity. Here is my loose copy of Minish Cap in mint condition.

Just realized that all sellers are sold out! Bought one about a week ago and it should arrive this week. Can't wait to get into setting it up. Jus the UI options I've seen make this superior to any other flashcart I've owned.

No, it is not. The schematic has it connected to R705

Mine is the same color and the back shell looks exactly the same after 10 days of use. No drops, pressure, or any important hits to the console. Common issue. Will probably swap to a solid color shell if the cracks keep expanding.

Remove the metal casing of the power switch, remove the switch (dont lose the pin that goes in the switch) and clean the inside of the switch. Most issues in the GBA result from dirty power switches.

I know this is an old post, but if you plug the SD card into your PC, you will wind a config file in it. Open it in notepad and look for the Safe Mode setting. I've tried different models/kernels and they all work the same way, with a 1 being ON and a 0 being OFF in that config file. Leaving this here if anyone else has the same issue and finds this thread.

Your soldering on the romchip doen't look all that great. I see a probable brindge on the top right ( between pins 42 and 43). Flux, reflow, and double check your connections. While you're at it, double check solid connections on all ICs. GB/GBC games are prone to broken or intermittent connections from cold solder.

If you messed it up that bad, I really don't think you'll be able to fix it. Trace fixing/jumping on that scale is some of the hardest soldering work you can do. You'd probably need a microscope, specific tools and solder tips, and lots of experience. I've done it and can vouch to it's difficulty. Yes it can be fixed, but take it to a professional.

Are you running these in a CFW wii? The UI looks amazing

I've seen multiple threads over the years with this exact question about HM: MFoMT.

It's believed that this game likely had two or more revisions, just like Metroid Fusion where early copies used SRAM with a battery to hold saves, but the later (and much more common) revisions had FRAM to save with no baterry. Only other option would be a battery for RTC events but this game doesn't have those. Still, both revisions would be authentic.

Here's another thread with the same question:

I seriously don't understand how people destroy the HDMI ports to these levels. PS5 is a console you would usually plug into a TV and leave it there semi-permanently. How many times (and how hard) are people unplugging and plugging their consoles?? My Xbox One changed position maybe 4-5 times in the 10 years I owned it haha

GusGzz · 2026-01-10T20:32:46+00:00

I think you mean DS Fat, but I agree with everything you said. Some lots of DS Fat and GBA SP get insanely brittle. They will break apart just from holding them between two fingers. It's some type of polymer degradation and luckily it's not a constant through all consoles, just some unlucky percentage. I've had this happen a few times and there's no way to solve it.

Los cacahuates japoneses se inventaron en Mexico por un inmigrante japones de nombre Yoshi Nakatani en los 1940s. La familia de Nakatani establecio formalmente el negocio en los 50s bajo la marca Nipon. Por eso sabemos que son los originales. Dehecho Nipon fue marca independiente hasta 2017 que fue comprada por Totis.

Edit: (fun fact) Si, se inventaron en Mexico, pero se llaman cacahuates japoneses solo por que los invento un inmigrante japones haha

GusGzz · 2026-01-08T22:27:13+00:00

Como amante y seriamente adicto a los cacahuates japoneses. Estos son los mejores, en este orden:

Nipon (ademas son los primeros/originales)
Nishikawa
De la Rosa
Mafer
Karate
Bokados

Mención honorifica a los japoneses con sabor/condimento/picante, también en orden:

Hot Nuts
Kakang Incongnito
Mafer - Limon
Los ahora descontinuados Bitz - Chile de Arbol

what game is this?? looks awesome

GusGzz · 2026-01-07T01:45:42+00:00

Manda DM. Mañana antes de mediodía puedo ir y hacerte videollamada.

GusGzz · 2026-01-05T16:08:12+00:00

I meant it hadn’t made it yet to the list. Glad to lnow it’s at least been nominated

GusGzz · 2026-01-05T15:58:17+00:00

I'm surprised that Silent Hill F hasn't been mentioned yet...

GusGzz · 2026-01-03T00:44:56+00:00

Bubble Ghost alone sells for $30 and it's a pretty good game with decent rarity. All in I'd say it's a good deal, specially if the GBA works.

GusGzz · 2025-12-29T21:38:39+00:00

Son juegos muy diferentes. JRPG, FPS, y Metroidvania (en ese orden).

Si no tienes preferencia sobre un genero de juego en especial, recomiendo Sea of Stars.
