In today's episode we're discussing oldschool Gameboy Color Cartridges and what you need to do in order to keep your save file in tact. Specifically, How to Replace the Battery in Pokemon Game Boy Color Games to Fix the Save Feature. Certain Gameboy Color cartridges contain CR2025 batteries and help to create and hold your save file. What this means is ever since you bought the game the battery inside has been slowly but surely losing its charge. When it reaches whatever fated day it decides to run out of juice your save file is kaput. Gone forever. So in this episode we're walking through how to replace the CR2025 batteries in Gameboy Color Games (mostly Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal) using a security screw bit to open the cartridge and a soldering iron to disconnect the original battery and establish new connections with your new battery. I'll also being showing off the Mega Memory Card--a device that stores your Gameboy Color save data in flash memory and is able to reload it to your cartridge in the event that your battery has died and you want your file back. You'll have to save updated save files there periodically so you don't lose any progress, but it's quick and painless. Let me know any horror stories about your lost save files and oldschool gameboy color nostalgia you may be experiencing in the comments!
2x CR2025 (Gameboy Color Pokemon) batteries + Security Screw bit needed to open the cartridge!:

Im holding back tears..............this video is too powerful. Thank you Leonardo Dicaprio for helping every man to ever own a Gameboy.

@PowerUpGamingCanada 7 лет назад

If you are watching this video, please remove the game from the shell completely before attempting to replace the battery. There is a very good chance that if you are newer to soldering then you will melt the back of the case doing the way it was shown in the video.

@dlynns 2 года назад

I came to the comments to say the same thing! ALWAYS remove the game from the shell before attempting to work on it! 😳

@BlueWhale5155 Год назад

I was trying to desolder a power switch off my ds lite because I broke it, the whole hinge and back melted. been through this and it is not fun. So please do remove the plastic shell.

DONT SOLDER DIRECTLY TO BATTERY!!!!!!!! I had one blow up in my face. it was like having a firecracker go off in my hand. notice that the connections are NOT soldered to the battery?

@Tw0tson 7 лет назад

holy shit dude

@vdwbjorn 7 лет назад

kinda normal it blows up. a battery that gets to hot wil react to that heat and explode. soldering iron gets a temp around 300-450 degrees to melt solder good so.......

@PowerUpGamingCanada 7 лет назад

The tabs are spot welding to the battery. I can't believe anyone would actually attempt to solder tabs on. Yikes.

@yoshkabosh7979 4 года назад

You can also put some of your most cherished pokemon on Pokemon Stadium 2 if you have it. It's an n64 cartridge, so it doesn't use a battery, meaning your pokemon will be there forever unless the data corrupts or something.

@dragooncroft Год назад

This is an option I use, however it's worth noting that to transfer from stadium 2 to a new game there is an annoying restriction that the player must have 151 pokemon caught, otherwise the game won't let you transfer them. Idk why they did that.

@JamesLoweryHypnotherapy 4 года назад

I definitely needed this as a backup for Pokemon Stadium 2 in case of corruption.

@evoyjonathan 6 лет назад

@wii1990 7 лет назад

Some original gameboy games use CR2025 batteries, and some use smaller CR1616 batteries. The circuit board near where the battery sits will tell you which one it takes.

@yeseeyye Год назад

Great vid! Just a few things I wanted to mention 1. Instead of using the tabbed battery, you can use a battery retainer ( a fancy word for battery holder) and switch your battery out from time to time while the cart is running in a gameboy, to not lose your save. 2. As many people pointed out, take the board of the cart out first before soldering. 3. Using flux is reccomended, to avoid burning, just make sure to clean off the excess. 4. Make sure that you solder the + to the + on the board and the same goes for the -.

@alexnava8729 7 месяцев назад

You have a link for this retainer you speak of? Sounds like a much better option imo. Thanks!

@Asteroid_Jam 6 лет назад

Use a desoldering braid to remove solder from battery terminals and use new solder. Also do not solder directly to battery. That is how you get a explode game.

@littleonion216 7 лет назад

This kind of stuff is fasinating for me. I always wondered if there was a way to install flash memory chips into NES, Gameboy, and Gameboy Color games. Installing flash memory chips into SNES, N64, and GBA games is possible (Most GBA games have them, some have the battery methods), but installing them on these kind of carts is unkown to me.

@georgeindestructible 7 лет назад

There is, google it

@PkmHax 3 года назад

Nice video. Definitely gonna get myself one of those. 2 tips i could give about battery replacement is you can take a pen apart, heat the end up and press it into the screw until it is cooled and you have a bit to take the screw out. Also use some tweezers to hold the battery while removing from the solder. Pokemon GBA games use the smaller 2016 batteries. The 2025 work but are bigger and you struggle close the case properly.

I still have my original Mega Memory Card (original owner) as well as a second one I picked up decades ago. Earlier today I found that one had a mangled pin in the cartridge slot. I desoldered the slot and removed to pin but it broke when I tried to straighten it. I decided to take the “Audio In” pin, which the Mega Memory Card does not use, and moved it to the place where the broken pin was. It worked like a charm! If there is any game that uses the “Audio In” pin, I don’t know what game that might be… and it certainly doesn’t need it for the Mega Memory Card to do its thing. Only thing I can think of that might use it is perhaps the Bung Enterprises “Pocket Voice” but perhaps not because that actually has a built-in speaker.

@joethompson11 3 года назад

Lost my level 100 blastoise I traded over onto my silver game 20 years ago. Will definitely get one of the save carts for next time. Thanks for the tip!

@christophermorin9036 4 года назад

I had one of these! Also had a cheat device made specifically for Pokemon that let you edit your Pokemon files. I miss my level 100 shiny Tauros with all beam attacks lol. I think it was called a Monster Brain by Pelican. I believe it could also back up game saves.

@ajhenry333 7 лет назад

would I be able to just play the game with the memory card hooked up everytime if I did not want to change the battery or no?

@Big5mokE719 2 года назад

If you don't have a gamebit driver to open the cart you can melt the tip of a bic pen cap and while it's melted jam it onto the screw and hold it until it cools then unscrew.

@SteeleJonesRainio 2 года назад

I didn't realize my mom had kept my two copies of Silver from my childhood, I was certain they got tossed out with half our stuff from moving so much. She gave them back to me a couple years ago when I came back to visit. I tried to find my SoulSilver game this weekend after cleaning and finding my Japanese 3DS, sadly I think I must've lost it permanently, now it's worth $150 to $250 when I had bought it back in the day for only like $30. But I found those Silver games along with my old GBA SP. This video has given me hope I can finally live my nostalgia! Thank you for the tutorial! Lugia, Typhlosion, Entei, I'll see you soon my old friends!

Like most N64 games with built-in save, Mario Kart 64 is an EEPROM save title… no battery. Titles like Ocarina of Time, and WCW nWo Revenge use SRAM batteries, and Animal Forest used a battery for an RTC (Real-Time Clock), but the vast majority of N64 games with cartridge save used 4k or 16k EEPROM. There were a few with FlashRAM too.

@Jeranhound 6 лет назад

I fixed my Crystal cart a few years back with plain ol' CR2032s from the store. Just broke the tabs off the old battery and used electrical tape to secure the new battery in place, no soldering needed. The tape, and the added pressure because it makes the interior a bit taller and so the back of the case presses it to the front, keeps the battery nicely secured and easy enough to replace in future.

@HDDoggyStyle 2 года назад

Still better to solder because if you drop the game or something battery with tape can move just a tiny bit out of place then you lose game files happen to me 12 years ago when I didn’t have a soldering iron

@ValorOni 7 лет назад

So if I still have my 80+ hours of pokemon silver and back it up in a Mega Memory Card. Then when the day comes that my Silver version no longer saves. I can replace the old battery with a new one and then upload the old file from the memory card. I still get my saved file and the new battery continue will resume saving?

@BigTrees4ever Год назад

If you don’t have a gamebit/security bit screwdriver, you can take an empty bic pen and heat it with a lighter just a tiny bit to get it soft, I mean it, just a brush of the flame, you’re not melting it just getting it soft. Then just push the soft end into the gamebit screw on your cartridge and let it sit so it can harden and cool. Now you just turn it and unscrew. You can reuse it to screw it back in, and you may be able to do another game loosen and tighten, but this is just plastic and it will eventually strip. Not a permanent solution but will work while you’re waiting for your screwdriver or waiting for a paycheck to buy one.

@fin3673 7 лет назад

So jelly of the shiny hitmontop but I'm glad that you showed that shiny Pokémon retain shininess, thanks for the video

@lucky_crit 7 лет назад

Hah! I think you're the first to notice. I kept resetting until the first daycare egg they give you was a Hitmontop! Unfortunately the special attackers are better to get out of the egg though as the IVs of these Pokemon are set to have 0 attack so I don't think my Hitmontop will be that great!

@bakedmuffinman87 3 года назад

i used to solder alot at my job. I was soldering tabs onto a battery and it pretty much exploded in my face. 10/10

@shadeymcbones6707 6 лет назад

By the way, i used electrical tape instead of solder to use standard batteries in the cartridges. Just pry off the metal soldered bits from the old battery, slide a piece of electrical tape under the metal bracket thingy's, but in the new battery, put on the top metal bracket and wrap the whole thing in the electrical tape. Works greta so far, however i did bust a pokemon gold cartridge once because i accidentally cut a trace in a hurry so you do have to take your time prying the metal brackets loose from the old battery

@Thesilentvoice... 6 лет назад

My pokemon blue file is still alive which I'm holding onto, but my crystal file is gone. I'm sad about that since I did a hack to get all the johto starters now and I got a shiny tyrogue at first chance. I also had two shiny nidorinos from me looking for a Chaney in the grass and encountering so much nidorinos shinys appeared. I thought my game was broken but I just caught it anyway because it looked different. That was my first shiny encounter.

If you don't have a security bit to remove the screw then use a pen. Heat up the tip with a lighter and then firmly press it against the screw. Let it cool off for a few seconds and voila, your own security bit.

If you're still interested in hearing horror stories about losing save data, a few years ago, I got a Mega Memory Card to preemptively backup my files, but it's apparently really easy to accidentally DELETE your save data if you don't use the memory card exactly right, and it didn't come with instructions, so I did it wrong right off the bat. Lost my childhood Silver file and an Blue file I was trying to 100%.

if you're really careful, you actually dont need use a soldering iron, if you can remove the battery without breaking the little tab on it off, you can put the new battery on it and use electrical tape to hold it in place. did this with my yellow 3 years ago. if you break the tab tho....gg time to get that soldering iron

@EifieDM 6 лет назад

@LairdDeimos 6 лет назад

You can get a cheap soldering iron for $15 online or at a hobby store, just don't use it for too long. Those cheap ones often cheap out on the heat shield. I recommend a small pen iron. You might have to buy a holding stand and sponge separate.

@henriknielsen6618 5 лет назад

The entire conversation is fine but when I have to choose to heal or not it freezes. I hope you can tell me how to fix this I really don’t want to lose my progress

@brandonnesfan 6 лет назад

I'd say that this is a great tutorial except for one MAJOR flaw. You backup the save BEFORE you replace the battery. If you replace the battery without backing up the save, you will lose the data.

So. I was playing gold. And I’m entering kanto and my game won’t load. A saved it went a had dinner and now it won’t load on my gameboy. Now. I had saved it the last few days and was able to turn my gameboy off and had no issues. But regardless it’s not working now. So. I have the memory card thing you are holding and using in your video. No I was not smart enough to use it tho… my question would be once your battery dies or even jiggles loose in a cartridge is that save dead for good? The save is tied to the battery? Or is it that if you create a new save game then it will be deleted? It seems a lil silly that a game could be bumped a little to hard and poof all your data is gone. I get these batteries are all dying… but man.

@arksin11 Год назад

there is a faster, easier, zero expense way to change battery and not lose save file >>> open the cartridge and with battery exposed stick it back into gameboy, turn the gameboy on and open your save file, turn gameboy around and place it back on the table - make sure its in stable position, replace the battery while the game is powered on. after replacement just save the game, power gameboy off, remove the cartridge and place the back cover back on the cartridge, there its done! .....However there are 2 ways this can fail : 1) if batteries in gameboy die during the time battery in game cartridge is removed --- solution -- --> use fresh batteries in gameboy before you start this operation. 2) if you move gameboy a lot, to the point game cartridge loses pin connection with gameboy and thus the game powers off >>> solution >>> during the whole process keep gameboy as stable as possible

+User 2 As long as you have a working battery inside the game cartridge that still saves the game, yes. That's what the memory card is for. It saves your data but also puts it back onto the cartridge in the case of a dead battery. Just make sure that if you make significant progress in the game again that you back up the newer save so you don't lose that

The save Cartridge I have doesn't work, I need to get the one shown in this videos

@arksin11 Год назад

his is a very dumb, time consumg and expensive way to save your save files from any gameboy games when changing the battery. Here is how you change the battery without losing the save file without any additional item. >>> open the cartridge and with battery exposed stick it back into gameboy, turn the game on and open your save file, turn around the gameboy and place it back on the table - make sure its in stable position, replace the battery while the game is powered on. after replacement just save the game, power gameboy off, remove the cartridge and place the back cover back on the cartridge, there its done!

@sacchini13 4 года назад

How long does the battery in the cartridge last once it’s replaced with a new one?

@smudgey5000 2 года назад

I dont understand why gold, crystal, and silver carts batteries died after 5-10 years but old asf NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, even Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow carts still work fine now in 2020+

@lucky_crit 2 года назад

Probably the day and night cycle and the internal clock being used much more because of it

@@lucky_crit you'd still think dragon warrior 1 on nes from the 80s would die first

Are the mega memory cards available on Amazon? I don't use Ebay.

@akweasel2017 7 лет назад

Since my crystal is corrupted, and after I replace the battery, the game I have saved on my monster brain will stay on the game cartridge now??

@lucky_crit 7 лет назад

If you saved it to the device before it got corrupted, then you switch the battery, then you should be able to put the save back on it, I'm not sure what a monster brain is.

@akweasel2017 7 лет назад

Lucky Crit it’s by pelican. It’s kind of like a game shark with a memory card. So I have saved games on there. I’m hoping it would work because when I try to continue he current game it says it’s corrupted. But I have it backed up on the monster brain
