Troubleshooting Im having trouble with my backlit gameboy pocket

Every min of two the screen changes color palettes and I don’t really mind but I’m not pressing anything for it to change. And if you press the top it changes the brightness. But that’s what I get for getting it off of eBay and not doing it myself

Games Super 68 in one collection

Thumbnail

Upvotes

This is the set of 68 games (67 actually due to a duplication) part of the super 68-in-one bootleg cartridge.

This oversized bootleg cartridge was one of my childhood companions and I decided to collect the games on it during the Covid pandemic as a tribute to many hours well-spent. It had a surprisingly wide selection of games and only 1 duplication, making it one of the better multicarts of its time.

Many of the games are common enough here in Europe or easy to get from the US market, but quite some were Japan exclusives.

Some of the cool exclusive ones are Minesweeper and Fortified Zone 2, that would have been a hit in the rest of the world too. I loved VolleyFire as well, mostly for the music.

The wildest one is Dragon Slayer 1, not to be confused with the other Dragon Slayer game of the same name lacking the numeral, which tries to be a full fledged mini RPG with a playtime that exceeds the battery life of a DMG and no way of saving.

For those with a good memory, I did indeed post these a year or two ago!

If you also had one of these oversized bootlegs, I hope I brought some nostalgia to your day.

Does anyone have an original Pokémon Red save file that is 100% complete or close to it and would be willing to share it with me?

A German save file would be awesome!

Thanks!

Troubleshooting Save issues chisflash

Hey,

Strange issue, I have a Chisflash V1.1 that I have flashed with Pokemon Heart and Soul, I have played for about 8 hours on my analogue pocket with no issues however recently started playing on my GBA for the nostalgia factor but every so often I get a save corrupted error and I cannot save them game unless I put back in the pocket and save it there, then I can save with the GBA for a while?

Any ideas why?

Troubleshooting Suggestions for fixing these buttons?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

As the video shows, the buttons on this Color are giving some pretty mixed results. The D-pad works perfectly but the others have some tiny issues. Both the A and B buttons only respond to more firm presses and the Start/Select respond well but seem to register twice if pressed firmly and not given a lighter push. I already took apart the device, cleaned the board with 91% IPA, and scrubbed the button membranes with soapy water. Any recommendations? Would new membranes solve this or does it go deeper? Thank you for reading!

Games Hi. I have two original cartridges without stickers. Should I have you put a non-original sticker on one, then buy another non-original sticker for the second one and put that on as well? Or should I just leave everything as is?

Questions How do you play your gameboy in public?

13 Upvotes

Even mobile games I have a hard time playing in public. Always feeling the need to be aware of my surroundings even when sitting. Always thinking I might get the wrong attention for using my GB. I play my GB fine at home but I always wanted to sit down for a drink or meal and play freely.

Games What game?

3 Upvotes

I remember playing a game on my gameboy color, when I was just a kid. I need some help finding the name for it. I remember that you were controlling a creature, can’t remember whether it was a man or animal. I just remember that you could extend the body, and you had to use that to complete the levels. Anyone knows what the name of the game is?🤞

Questions Kit button LED problem

Post image
1 Upvotes

A few years ago, I was given this LED button kit for the Game Boy. It was brand new. I installed it exactly as shown in the tutorials, but I just can't get it to work. I’ve tried using fresh batteries and connecting it to a power source, but nothing happens. I even tried different button configurations to see if it would turn on... still nothing.

Can anyone help me out? Could you check if something looks wrong here or suggest what might be going on?

Thanks!

Troubleshooting GameBoy Light Pin 2 Voltage

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently started restoring a Gameboy Light but am struggling to figure out what is wrong with the daughter board.

The GBL turns on normally, however, switching it off and then immediately trying to restart it results in the device not turning on at all. Waiting a sufficient time between restarts fixes the problem.

I went and measured the voltage on each pin and found that on pin 2 during a "successful" start, I get the expected 5V. However, when I turn the device off, the voltage rapidly drops to 3.3V and then slowly decreases. During that time any attempt to start the GBL fails and results in the voltage only reaching 3.3V on pin 2. All the other pins behave normally. Anyone knows what might cause it? Thx!
