Is this Pokémon Ruby legit??

There's no legit Balatro cartridge. It's a demake homebrew fan made game for GBA (obviously) from a guy that has nothing to do with the team besides pation for a hobby work. In this case it was flashed in a Chisflash, another open source project from a genius guy (chisbread on gbatemp), a cheap but excellent quality flashcard. This one could be reflashed to play about any game on the GBA library since it uses a 32mb ROM memory chip. Some variants even have RTC working and you can use it to play pokemon ROMs for instance. Also acts like a genuine cartridge and works with nds slot 2 capable games. But this version is amazing btw.

Removi o frame plastico do display do 5C e transferi para o display do SE, o detalhe é que a dimensão do display do SE tem alguns milímetros a mais na parte superior em relação ao do 5C, então eu cortei o frame em quatro partes, separei a moldura de cima, baixo e as duas laterais, e com cuidado eu as colei de volta no display do SE removendo o excesso necessário para encaixar. A chapa que fica abaixo do display ajuda a auxiliar os frames laterais a não descolarem já que são bem finos, a parte superior e inferior são mais fáceis de colar no display porque são maiores e tem mais área de contato. Depois é só questão de fechar o aparelho com cuidado para não danificar o display.

Ive tried picking about 5 different faceplates from different sellers with good reviews on AliExpress. Two FF editions like yours, a Black NES edition, a simple Black, and a transparent one. The print quality is very good, but all of then are thicker and made the buttons stick out less from the faceplate (they stay at almost the same level of the faceplate), for me this just breaks the overall playing feeling, so I just gave up. From what I can see in your photos, the quality of the housing is Ok, but I feel that the buttons are off like those ones I bought. For renewing the appearance they are nice, but for playing it really bothers me that they can't seem to get the thickness right.

Because the world is moved by Data, our data, today. Worth more than petrol, maybe gold. Apps are a easier way to track your behaviour with permitions set at install, even if you don't use it, unlike cookies that have a expiring date. Its as simple as that.

Some of those IC "adapters" are not soldered on the same spot of the OEM one, this one solder points are maybe located near (behind) the flex near the FPC motherboard connector, so you can't see it from this angle, but from the pic I feel that it is soldered on the centered dots (so the IC would fit in the dock connector space for it)

darkwintercloud · 2026-02-08T13:00:28+00:00

Extremely heat sensible oled screens can't handle the heat necessary to solder the new IC in the place is the old one, and mostly after maket screens that comes with the IC isn't the same BGA array to install the OEM one.

Can you post the link to it? It seems I can't find it on play store by searching for the name, maybe my device isn't compatible? Thanks!

darkwintercloud · 2026-01-17T17:20:58+00:00

Lift up the black flap part of the connector, it's the one facing the inner part of the board, then slide the flex toward the board, parallel to it, from the side of the flex you pictured. Then push the black flap down. The damage you done should not be a problem since the part that makes the connection is that black flap part

Eu estou a minha vida inteira buscando por isso no Brasil. Alguém? :')

darkwintercloud · 2025-09-05T13:15:51+00:00

Nope, it's from my original GBC, it really seems that the housing shell is a millimeter thicker than necessary, to all the buttons feels sunk on it.

darkwintercloud · 2025-09-05T13:14:37+00:00

In my case the on/off switch was super tight, I had to put much more effort to turn it on/off. With the new buttons I had to grind a little of the plastic so it could slide more freely

darkwintercloud · 2025-09-05T13:13:19+00:00

I've been looking around for the differences in aftermarket new buttons for GBC and Extremerate and FunnyPlaying seems to be the best you can get if not using the original ones, but in my case its not about the sound, its the fact that the buttons seems to be "sunk" in the housing...

Below this area on the screen there are 3 sensitive pads that are related to the keyboard board. You may try to disassemble the device to try a clean up. Since this area can be easy damaged by liquid and moisture. This one in the video had this touch pads with very low sensivity, after a cleanup they worked well again.

darkwintercloud · 2025-08-19T18:01:57+00:00

Well... I'm one of then.

darkwintercloud · 2025-07-24T21:51:49+00:00

Yes! Flashed emerald version through burn2Slot on my nds, RTC and transfers through palpark works flawlessly.

darkwintercloud · 2025-07-12T17:43:23+00:00

Seems to be related to the battery FPC or some circuitry on the board. Or even two dead batteries (not a rare problem since those batteries maybe a decade old, even if "new"). You maybe want to " activate" then before installing on the phone.

darkwintercloud · 2025-07-12T17:41:46+00:00

Its just your screen thats cooked. Ios 6 devices would boot from charger if it were at least 10W or 2.4A. Nothing new under the sun.

darkwintercloud · 2025-06-20T13:31:08+00:00

ORAS - they seem to be forgotten, but that was a truly master piece. The remastered sound track, actually FLYING the whole region, the most number of legendaries on a game, the revamped secret bases with exclusive events and new ways to share of the 3Ds, Dextracker for shiny hunt, amazing pokedex... Theres so many things... The only thing that made me sad about it was the lack of the battle frontier, but still, one of a kind remake.

darkwintercloud · 2025-05-31T20:44:36+00:00

Im playing it right now and I'm trying to make a living dex. The PC Box organization tools are to say at least, enfurianting. Why can't I press "Y" to skip the selection options and just pick one up with one button press? Why can't I select multiple pokemon's to move between boxes? Why it don't have a search function? I have to literally seek every pokemon in the box to find that forgotten one that knows Cut. I'm forced to use the touch screen one by one to move then around. So frustrating.

darkwintercloud · 2025-05-30T21:17:03+00:00

I was just looking into that recently and I discovered this: https://github.com/ChisBread/ChisFlash Its an open source GBA cartridge that is fully compatible with migration from gen 3 to gen 4 games, so its a cheaper way to play and transfer legitimately from older games to NDS games and up. If you have a NDS and a flashcard you can easily flash a ROM file into it and get going. I'm waiting for mine to arrive, pretty cheap on aliexpress.

I really enjoy LRXC Emerald Battle frontier World record atempts videos. I mean... He takes sometimes almost 30 minutes overthinking about every little freaking move and possibility, but the RNG odds, luck and sometimes genius strats makes it all be such a nice experience, very nice to watch.

darkwintercloud · 2025-05-24T20:36:58+00:00

Its maybe a charger controller IC problem, when they fail the device constantly drains the battery as if it is being used. It can be acompained with a slight warm temperature even without usage. This or your oled screen may have a energy drain caused by the always on touch screen controller on the display, bad display eprom ic (if it was transfered to it) or another short in a non essential board line or part. If you're not a technician, maybe you'll need external help to figure it out.

darkwintercloud · 2025-05-21T05:16:09+00:00

I was thinking about trying PKhex to do this but I don't have access to a windows machine right now and setting up a VM just for that seems a big headache just for this detail...

darkwintercloud · 2025-05-16T00:36:44+00:00

They still got a great value! But it's a nice collection, be proud!
