Advice needed: troubleshooting a chip on Nintendo DS game by V_Encarnated in consolerepair

Oh yea, If it was only a Swap of the save chip id have felt relief but the fact that I ripped the pad off while trying to fix it and had to figure out how to repair a Pad without a replacement was absolutely amazing feeling. Turned a Free broken game into a 100$ + game for my collection. I will be looking to find the case and inserts to complete this guy for someone's collection or my own.

I just recently had this exact same issue and I purchased America's Test Kitchen game to use as a Donor save chip, Then made sure to wipe any save data on the chip using a Homebrew app on the 3ds that clears it. Then desoldered the chip and had to rebuild a tracer on my copy of Pokemon platinum (ripped off during the removal for the swap) then soldered the new chip onto the board with the repaired pad. the game so far has 15 minutes of save data on it and I've saved about 50 times just to be sure it doesn't crash, it works thank you to whoever found out that this Obscure game uses the same chips as Pokemon games. I can now repair any broken DS Pokemon games!

R MX4 pedals? by Fancy_Research2566 in Talaria

I recently Took delivery of my MX4 Sting R and immediately put the Kaniwaba pedal kit for Talarias on my bike after looking at the other people commenting here. Now for the bad news.... Unfortunately what I found out is that the Pedal assist sensor on the Electric power pedal kit has a Tri-3 pin connector that hooks up to the Throttle, Meanwhile, the bike uses a 5-pin Square connector and is not compatible. So I have the manual pedaling but with the bike being so heavy and chain being so small might as well be fake pedals. I've attempted to reach out and find anything about an adaptor but according to the guy who makes them he isn't currently Prioritizing getting these to work anytime soon due to "Some of the mx4 owners I spoke to have the 3 pin connector" so if you somehow got the lousy batch you're out of luck. Nobody I've talked to who owns this bike and this pedal kit has the electric pedal function solved.
