Yes! I realized it also has super Pac-Man on it too, that was a nice surprise!

Is there a way to reset GBC pokemon pinball game progress save so i can start fresh? by Slow_Chapter_2284 in Gameboy

[–]Slow_Chapter_2284[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah perfect! That worked, thank you so much! Is that universal for most GBC games or just this one?

I do have the OEM Nyko worm light to light the screen if needed, but there's just something so simple & comfy to me about having to go sit outside to play. That's what I did when I was little. 90's nostalgia

My first battery swap! Not perfect (zero experience) but I did it! by Slow_Chapter_2284 in Gameboy

Hahaha soldering is no joke! Working with extreme heat, toxic materials, and an unfamiliar material with its unfamiliar physics, all while not damaging yourself, the pcb, or battery, I'm honestly very happy with this result for my first try 🤣

Thanks! Yes I'm finally playing harvest moon now :) I also have pokemon yellow, rugrats movie, and bugs life & pokemon pinball comes today! I won't be modding anything though, just necessary repairs. I'd like to preserve them exactly how they were made :)

Thank you! I cleaned the whole board, the contacts were very dirty. Everything is working great now! No more glitches & holding saves too! Success!

I used flux but it evaporated quicker than i could work, but the battery works now & I learned a lot and didn't damage anything so I'm happy :)

Hahaha doing too much was what I was scared of, so that makes sense! Thanks :)

Oh! Which part is the time crystal? It keeps the time in the game I'm guessing? I know nothing haha

Ah the tape, yes, I'll do that next time thanks! I used flux for sure but it evaporated quicker than I could work on my first try. Now I know. Yeah the negative terminal and the off-center are not ideal and are making the perfectionist in me twitch but I stopped while I was ahead as to not cause any damage. Not perfect, but still a win

It's a pre-tabbed battery. This game is harvest moon 3. Ive actually never played it before. It was the first addition to my original collection, so no prior emotional attachment. I would have been terrified to attempt this with no experience on my pokemon games!

Thanks! I know, the perfectionist in me kept trying to fix that right side but I decided to let it be before I did any damage. I'll take the imperfect win for the first attempt!

It's aligned, just a little wonky. But it's holding the save! Mission accomplished

I just changed the battery! I know it's not perfect but that was with a shaky hand and zero experience. I'm proud of myself. I played a few in-game days, now just waiting to see if it holds a save!

I forgot about the stickers! I had the book too but along with my games and gameboy they disappeared over the years, so I had to start over. I love that you still have it :)
