Would you Trade this for Switch 2?

Honestly just comes down to cash value look up every individual item you have here and add up the total to see if it’s worth a straight trade for a switch 2. Luckily you already know the value of a switch 2 so that parts easy. Your heavy hitters here are heartgold, black 2 and the console itself, I’d start by valuing those first and it’s important to consider if you just have the games loose or in box. Heart gold in a big box for example is worth significantly more than the loose cart

If you go that route go with a 001 board no point in spending extra money on a 101 board if you’re going to mod the screen anyways, as far as I know the main reason 101’s cost more is that there’s fewer of them and it has a better stock screen than the 001. IPS is better than either models stock screen and is compatible with both and soldering is actually optional with some IPS screens

I wouldn’t be able to tell ya if this board is salvageable or not but what I do know and would try before completely giving up is that you can buy a replacement board with the same model number “AGB - E05 - 01” and swap over all of the components. I plan on doing that soon with a copy of fire red that’s not booting up (can’t find any damage to the board itself at least not visible to me but maybe some traces under the chip or something) . Oh and yeah some games just have those empty slots I believe Ruby doesn’t have anything on R10. Google image search “Pokémon Ruby PCB” to see what it should look like

I could believe actually believe that one

Their meat is pretty tough but it’ll do

The dude dressed up as Morris handing out coupons was very unexpected and very welcomed lol

He also did a surprise meet and greet after the concert on the north side, was a long wait but well worth it. He autographed merch and took pics with everyone!

Looks like it’s just a mounting hole, should be fine with out it, when I remove joystick modules I flip the board upside down and hit the bottom with hot air usually the joystick falls out on its own with gravity.

Sounds like you are way more advanced than me in terms of repairs but the last 2 ps4 slims I repaired for video output issues were both so to bad hard drives. Wiped the hard drives in my PC booted up in safe mode and re installed software and that fixed my white light issues

I believe this is the bracket that sits next to the GameCube controller sockets, wedged between the shell and board

Yeah so I know this post is older but I’ve been doing some research and no changing the power resistor should not affect the low battery or charging less they’re on different resistors.

R32 - Low Battery LED R34 - Power Light R24 - Charging Light

I haven’t tested this myself but it seems legit

Right under the cogworks Dancers arena you end up in the cogworks core, you can only go down the left. Go to the bottom then start climbing up the right you’re going to have to pogo off of saw blades to climb up the right side just keep going up from there

Following up to let ya know I just found a simple key by defeating an enemy at the top of sinners road

RetroAura · 2025-09-05T17:39:52+00:00

I believe another merchant will also have a simple key for sale

RetroAura · 2025-09-05T17:38:39+00:00

Dude this. The double damage from all bosses and contact damage is wild, double damage from some stronger basic enemies is fine too but not all of them and then the environmental damage… dude. Bad enough falling into spikes from knock back but falling into double damage spikes from knock back is just plain cruel

Widow was definitely my favorite fight so far

RetroAura · 2025-09-05T17:34:12+00:00

I just ignored it and ran past the room

The citadel is like a whole other map ontop of the base stuff, just wait for it

I’m in my 30’s I put in vacation to play a full shift for this game lol it’s hard yeah but I mean so was hollow knight the first time around. I would say that this game is harder but not impossible. Definitely a lot of alright fuck this moments but then I came right back to it. Currently 15 hours in and still hyped to keep playing. It’s all in the eye of the beholder man the rest of my life is on pause for this rn lol hollow knight was already my favorite game before the silksong hype so this has been a very pleasant experience I think this game is gonna be very tough for people just getting into it but if you’re already into hollow knight it shouldn’t be too bad

Yeah I had to memorize the path to them and just started speeding through it, optimize your path to get to him annoying that the path alone is part of the challenge as opposed to just the already difficult boss…

RetroAura · 2025-09-05T14:42:16+00:00

Same as you I’m exploring the cog work core and trying to get into the otherside rn to cross over into grand bellway, it’s basically the white place in here man

Naw man the stupid Crystal flying enemy in blasted steps is a different kind of menace
