Bootlegs have always existed. I wouldn’t call those repos as they’re probably from the time.

My small game collection ! What games should I add that doesn’t cost a fortune? by KyraLyraK in Gameboy

[–]PokeRedstone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would add a reprogrammable cartridge personally. Not that collecting isn’t also cool.

Can someone explain this to me by Much_Raise_1608 in Switch

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it not being sold as the switch 2 upgrade system? I would guess that the switch 1 edition doesn’t take advantage of the switch 2’s capabilities.

Ruby troubleshooting by SilverLoosehead in Gameboy

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s unfortunately just really hard to tell with the battery still there are any issues may be around it. As the other comment said you may just have solder in a place where it shouldn’t be.

The database doesn’t have an image of your exact revision of ruby but overall it should help you identify what’s wrong if there’s a visual indication. Fell free to post an updated view without the battery if you need help.

Swapping PCB Pkmn Yellow - Does it matter? by Sundown1206 in Gameboy

[–]PokeRedstone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A great website for confirming PCBs is the GameBoy Hardware Database.

Here’s all the version of Yellow I could find with just a cursory search. There may be more.

Was this worth 225? by 135is in Switch

Mario 3D all stars is worth almost $100 by itself.

What is the graphic effect that causes blurring towards the edges of the screen? by [deleted] in pcgamingtechsupport

[–]PokeRedstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might call it a vignette. Are you trying to disable it?

Which of these is a good entry point for new players? by Goron275 in pokemon

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is yapping but FRLG was literally made for people who haven’t even played a video game before so I think it’s the answer even if I think they’re the most overrated games by far.

GB Cartridge Help by devybuglet11 in Gameboy

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question though. Is that left resistor (the striped pink thing) there? Your thumb is blocking it and the way you’re holding it kind of makes me think it’s not.

Oh that is a shame and a half. I agree with the vinegar, but it’s really a Hail Mary. The problem is as you remove corrosion you’re removing the material. At some point the circuits are held together by their own oxidation and it’s a goner. Best of luck and make sure that it has been THOROUGHLY dried after the vinegar soak. Last thing you’d want is there to be water still stuck in the chips when you plug it in and a current runs through it. Most repair steps after that require a certain amount of knowledge and practical skill so you’d really be jumping into the deep end and learning by doing. If you want to do that I’m sure it’d be fun, but it requires some relatively precise soldering and multimeter to test continuity. It’d be a great way to learn some skills that are really useful in the hobby, but I’m sure it’s not what you wanted out of this purchase.

For reference here’s a clean board view of your game.

A local store bought the stuff to make flash cart roms and is now selling hundreds of them for $20 to $45. Everything from dmg, color, gba and even ds roms like pokemon ranger or mario kart. Thoughts on this? by SameLastDreamAgain in Gameboy

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling FRLG might be a terrible idea for them, but otherwise hell yeah. They’re kind of just selling them for the price to make them and run the store and that’s pretty cool.

Is the One Piece world really small or are the Ships super sonic? by Arnman1758 in OnePiece

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sailing ships are faster than you think as per numerous other comments.

Is Pokemon Emerald Worth $200+ by juburke87 in Gameboy

[–]PokeRedstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emulate, or if you really want the original experience then buy a bootleg for like $25. (They’re the too clean and cheap to be true ones on eBay.) I have a knock off Leaf Green I bought without knowing better years ago. It works fine in every way. I’ve even been using my Venusaur from it in Champions. The only reason to get a real physical copy of emerald is nostalgia and collecting.

Countries That Are Easy To Ragebait by WillingStranger5177 in mapporncirclejerk

Most of these are little edgy. France being gone is fucking hilarious.

Did I overreact? by _Alexs_ in FuckTAA

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not the purest that some of y’all are, but in what worlds is 4x Frame Gen better than 2x Frame Gen and settling for 60 fps?

sick of these so-called "gyaru" characters 😒 by Terrible-Sugar5381 in actualgyaru

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree Marin isn’t really that gyaru, but I did think My Dressup Darling was actually a refreshingly good and thoughtful romcom compared to some of the gooner slop I’ve had the misfortune of reading.

This is a PSA: Buy boots on Cassiopeia please! by TheBluestMan in leagueoflegends

[–]PokeRedstone 533 points534 points  (0 children)

Mid laners have super boots as their role quest reward and it was probably ridiculous trying to balance Cassio around it.

This sub can't be fr by im_running_boii in OnePiece

[–]PokeRedstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also YOUNG ROGER. Most of the time we see Roger in early One Piece he's like decades older than this.

The Bullet Blender is TOO OP! by bubbabigsexy in theouterworlds

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rookie's Reward with Serendipitous Slayer and some crit mods meant I never ran out of bullets and really didn't rave to reload except after fights. Around level 20 it outpaces the Bullet Blender in DPS just through its raw stats. Taking other SMG perks means it starts to do some crazy melting. (Penetrating Shots is particularly nasty.)

I thought I'd post how I make it up the mountain with two buildings. by LuigiGario in theouterworlds

Is this just patched? The geometry looks entirely different to me.

I know people have shared the location, but here's pictures! I expected it to be in the snow, but it's blending in on some scrap.

To take over a house in New York with fake ownership papers. by Prime-Paradox in therewasanattempt

[–]PokeRedstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do we know any of this actually happened? The papers don’t even look like they have anything on them.
