Warning: Proceed at your own risk and be careful when doing any repairs.

Since a number of retro video games (original Game Boy, GBC, NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis) relied on a small lithium battery to save games, those batteries go bad over time and need to be replaced. This tutorial shows an easy method of replacing the battery in a Pokemon Gold cartridge, but it can also be used on a Pokemon Silver, Crystal, Blue, Red, Yellow, Zelda games, or even games with batteries from other retro gaming systems.

  • Wow! Thank you so much! I can play my pokemon crystal again!

  • @wifimax1 Great!  Happy gaming!

  • But wouldnt you loose your game anyway? seeing on how there is a short time where there is no battery?

  • @cpucpu657 That is correct. This process is generally used when a person already has a dead battery or has backed up their game on a device like a Mega Memory Card.

  • Now in the future, when I'm replacing the battery again. Will taking everything apart be easy? (the tape, the arms)

  • @buttderp You've got it! It'll be way easier the second time. Of course, hopefully that will be 10-15 years from now.

  • A CR2032 will also work, this can be found in Heart Gold and Soul Silvers Pokewalker !

  • the hardest shit was to open that thing haha, but it worked thanx

  • Very good idea my friend, this way is a lot easier than solder and stuff

  • @chiquita1405 lol go home 9fag, your site has no credibility. 9gag gets all of their comics from 4chan funnyjunk or reddit, all you guys do at 9gag do is put a watermark on it. instantly that makes you are one of us on the internet? not really. no
