GBC cartridge question
I have a pokemon red game which has a dead internal battery , and i was wondering if it could be possible to custimize it so the game saves onto flash memory, without the battery...

Short answer: forget it. Just replace the battery.
Re: GBC cartridge question
would it really be that hard? i think it'd be interesting to try...
Re: GBC cartridge question
I didn't think batteries for Red would be dying already. I've heard that the ones in G+S die because of the internal clock, but Red? I'm surprised. Especially since my Gold still works fine. 
But yeah, replacing the battery would be a lot easier than doing anything else.

saves. they work with batteries. when it runs out, saves get deleted and you can't save anymoreHardcoreLewscher wrote:whats with GBC games having batteries? what the purpose and what happens if the battery dies, how do you know?
Re: GBC cartridge question
That's kinda weird. My Pokemon Blue game stopped saving just a few years after I got it. Maybe I just caught missingno one too many times..
Re: GBC cartridge question
Another question, are there flash carts with no batterys that are fully functional just like an original red?

But anyways, just find a matching battery that will work.

No, they need the battery for the Real Time Clock.dave---- wrote:Another question, are there flash carts with no batterys that are fully functional just like an original red?

Re: GBC cartridge question
get a 256 k fram chip from ramtron, then swap it with the sram in the game cart.
then you dont need a battery.
u might also have to do a little bit of rewiring, to get the pinnouts right.

Re: GBC cartridge question
basically old game boy games need a small amount of power to keep its saves, not much though, like how a watch can go a couple of years without needed a new battery. Some old arcade machines needed power to keep a save too, all the high scores would be wiped if they were ever turned off.
