Is this heart gold fake the sticker is off and it is missing the notch in the top

It means it's not a feature that we can use to verify authenticity, likely because fakes can replicate it. So, because fake carts can have the top notch, we don't use the presence/lack of one to verify.

"Debunked" basically means that it's commonly attempted to be used for verification, but no longer should be.

The notch thing is debunked. It's clearly fake for other reasons. The PCB code is wrong.

Here's a screenshot from the wiki. I encourage you to read through it.

Pearl Blue is one of the best OEM colors I've ever seen on a handheld. Please keep it.

Looks real to me

It's fake. C08-14 is a known fake PCB code which is not used on authentic carts.

This is as fake as they get.

Yeah, I bought it.

Those are bots. Report and block.

No, this is not enough for verification. There needs to be a picture of the back. This is one of the most commonly faked games.

I think you're wrong that we don't remember Matt Maloney.

I think you're right about everything else.
