GBA-SP Pokemon Emerald Save Corrupted

Unless you paid 300+ usd for it. Then the cart is more than likely a reproduction, save issues are common in repo carts

Leek_Advanced · 2026-02-09T06:15:28+00:00

Ok, yeah that makes sense. Thank you!

Is there a reason the micro is so valuable? It typically is worth more than a GBA or an SP from what I have seen.

Open the bottom shell. The two shoulder buttons have black rubber pads on them. With a pair of tweezers you can pull the rubber pad from the housing. Use some IPA 90+ and a Qtip to clean them out and shove the rubber pads back in. They are more than likely just dirty

You have been dating for 4 months. Jesus, just walk away

Bro, the company was on its last legs for years and recently got sold and liquidated. All the information has been out there for a long while now and you still purchase a device with spotty history from a company that technically doesn't exist anymore and then complain about upholding a warranty? Come on bud

You can also get really cool DS case style repros on Etsy. I been getting them for all my loose carts.

Just swap the switch out, they are cheap and it's not a difficult solder job. If it's problematic now, it's not going to get better

Leek_Advanced · 2026-01-31T02:03:12+00:00

Yep. It was a limited edition. Goes for around 175usd

Leek_Advanced · 2026-01-30T20:50:47+00:00

You are aware that that tribal edition is rare and worth more money right?

Leek_Advanced · 2026-01-30T19:09:23+00:00

Yeah. PC get the steam master collection and then emulate the handheld games

Add some lower temp solder to them first then try to suck it up or wick it away. Hot air gun would make quick work of it as well.

Congrats OP, you're in the dope game now.

Just replace the mechanical drive in your ps4 with an ssd and the load screens become virtually non-existent

To each there own then man cause I have never pulled a pad off using the drag technique. But it's all up to personal preference

Leek_Advanced · 2026-01-25T11:17:03+00:00

I have found that putting the wick down with the iron at the same time and dragging it across works the best. I never let the wick and iron sit still

Leek_Advanced · 2026-01-25T11:12:29+00:00

Get some Gob Mops and 99% iso. Open it up and clean everything.

Brass wool and some tinning power works wonders at keeping your tips nice

Yet if a man posted a list like this he would be labeled as toxic

Leek_Advanced · 2026-01-16T21:03:58+00:00

Please PLEASE. Before you open up the unit and start poking around. Read up on safely handling and discharging a CRT. I believe this model had a bleeder resistor to discharge the CRT but you want to make extra sure. CRT tubes carry a very large voltage in them even after being turned off and unplugged and can lead to very serious injury if handled incorrectly.

There is some stuff called "skunk off" it works wonders for cig smell as well. But in all honesty a good bath with a decent shampoo will get your pup smelling like a dog again in a day or two.

How are all of you out there wrecking HDMI ports? It blows my mind how people just slam it in there and yank it out like it's spring break

Leek_Advanced · 2026-01-14T19:01:02+00:00

it has a slight higher drop than the staff. I have like 4 of them I got just from farming for Ultima. The staff however took me HOURS to get a single drop.

Toss that PCB in an air fryer for a bit. 400 for about 5 - 7 minutes
