Hi, can you please put a lin kto where we can buy the correct batteries like that one you id to fix it? I have Ruby and it ran dry but my best friend doesn't have hers anymore and really wants to play the game again but I want to give it as a gift where it works with the battery again like new and not where it's dry ~

Thanks in advance for you help!

do they still sell the batteries with the stem on it like in ur video? cause i kinda need one of those ;A;

[Zole4494]

well thats great! maybe I'm gonna repair my sapphire version the same way, its battery is also broken.

by the way, I like how you just play pokemon at your age with your daughter's game and name yourself "FUCK ME", as I got it right ;)

@Zole4494 I bought the game off ebay and that was the save game name. I deleted it before I gave it to my daughter. I would never make a save file named that!

I can tell you from experience that a battery holder doesn't work too well in SNES carts. I replaced the battery in my F-Zero cart a couple of months ago, and I ended up having to solder the holder on the back side of the board, and I had to file away a bit of the molding inside the cart to get it to close up again. I haven't had to change one on any of my NES carts yet, so maybe there is a bit more room inside those.

@sandmanxo Great comment! I haven't had the need to change a SNES battery yet.

im confused. i opened some of my game boy advance games before and they didnt have a battery inside. it was a small chip that saved the game data.

[tigheklory]

@247xReviews The battery in Pokemon Ruby is for the real time clock.  You are right that most GBA games save without a battery.

@tigheklory I Believe the battery is used to use the ingame clock, so without it, quite a few of the great features in the game would not work (Berries ect)

[bgardner104]

i have a the same game with the same problem

[tigheklory]

@bgardner104 Let me know if you need any assistance.

[photonarbiter]

Also how did you put lights in your gba

[tigheklory]

@photonarbiter The mod is call the Afterburner. It was a front-light module that you would lay on top of the LCD module. Search wikipedia for Afterburner (modification kit)
