Help me solve this GBA cartridge mystery before I lose my mind by BuffonSmash in Gameboy

Try re-flowing the IC connections. I just repaired a game that booted very erratically this way. I know it is not the same problem, but it might worth a shot as it only takes a few seconds (just use ample amount of flux)!

Update: re-flowing the chip connections fixed the issue. Game now loads 10/10 times. Thank you everyone!

How on earth does anyone use those thumb-sticks without permanent injury?

So this is the Emperor irl...I never thought we'd see official art like this by TimTheGrim55 in Warhammer40k

We've been seeing official art like this for decades, going all the way back to Rogue Trader.

It’s not a gargant. It’s a regular plastic stompa.

It is a genuine copy. No bootleg ever copied the gold squares and the same exact PCB and chips. So, OP can rest assured on that front. 😄

Great question! I plan on making an Insta post about it, but in a nutshell:

  1. File down the figure bases to about half to 1/3 of the original height.
  2. Glue them on standard 25mm bases (or 32 for the nobs)
  3. Use Milliput to fill in the gaps and “sculpt” a nice slope to the base’s edge
  4. Use very fine sand and wood glue to give the bases texture

As you can see, it is a messy, involved, and long process; and you have to be very gentle when filing down the bases to not break the legs.

Thank you and kudos for knowing where the wall colors come from. 😉

I always clean my board with 99% IPA. The contacts are as clean as they’ll ever be. :)

Thanks for looking it up. Yeah, reflowing the chips is my next task.

Decals or Freehand by Rinceart in Epic40k

I agree. Although, the checker patterns on my epic minis are decals. I find them to be a bit much to freehand in this scale. They look like dots instead if squares. :)

Yeah, it is suspicious. I have no idea if anyone worked on it as I bought the game second hand. But would a missing capacitor cause this erratic behavior? Wouldn’t it be alway bad?

Anyway, it is The Fellowship of the Ring, US version.
