I bought this joblot of Nintendo Game Boy Advance and Color games from eBay (which also included the 2 Mega Drive Games from a previous video) for £36.
The quality of these items is questionable to say the least, but let's see if I can FIX them!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

Hope you reported the scammer, stuff like this shouldn't be allowed much less circulated... they even had the audacity to make fake boxes.

In your next episode, could you try to speak in an American accent for the entire show? That would be excellent.

inside an original nintendo box, it must NOT be white, but brownish. White meant that's a "custom" print

I'd love to see a video of you just playing games, badly, for our entertainment. You always look so sad when your character dies.

He who can fix fake gameboy advance cartridges can walk on water backwards

You know, if seller says "its not working" and its booting, it might still not working: not saving or something else

Typically, if you find a GBA game outside of America with an ESRB logo on it, it's all flavours of fake.

How bad is it, when the way you can tell something is genuine, is because it is broken in exactly the same way as the other genuine repairs you've done recently. lol

Found this by complete accident. One hour later… genius.

Very easy to tell if a Gameboy game is fake without opening it, if it has no stamped numbers on it. I have never seen a fake one with stamped numbers.

Hi Steve, I used to have a business repairing electronic musical instruments and came across this resin in a synth that I was fixing. The resin breaks down over time and sort of becomes a capacitor, thereby stopping the chips from working properly. The fix simply involved soaking the circuit boards in acetone (nail polish remover) overnight. The next day, I could peel off the resin and the circuit came back to life! It might not be the same with your games but it's worth a try eh? Keep making the videos, they're great entertainment.

1000% fake everything on the GBA stuff. But noble efforts in trying to make them work. I've binged your channel over the last month and you're one of my favorites to watch now. You really have found "your RU-vid Voice". Keep up the great work!

Discovered Steve’s channel whilst I was in hospital recently. Easily the best and most entertaining repair channel I’ve seen. The raps are simply spot-on too…..🤣 keep ‘em coming Steve mate x

I love it when you repair old consoles. I am really amazed how the gbc cartridges all have the same problem.

@Primecat854 2 года назад

First thought the boxes look incredibly fake, but even the plastic the cartridges are made from doesn't look right either, plus I've noticed that with clone carts, they tend to stick out a teeny-tiny bit above the game slot. Not surprising when you opened them up they looked like that, good stuff as always Steve

@Dave01Rhodes 2 года назад

The best way to tell once you’ve got the cart open: the ROM chip will have the game’s serial number printed on it, and on the back of the board is the 4-square date code. You can see the date code on the back of the GBC games at the start of the video.

Love how it suddenly went from fixing Game Boy games into secret agent decoding a hidden message.

@bend7726 2 года назад

I had a fake pokemon emerald cartridge once. You could tell it was fake as the material that made the casing felt cheap and whenever playing the game, it would constantly freeze while saving and corrupt your save as well. It annoys me that second hand shops are selling fakes as they don't know how to tell the difference

@IAmNeomic 2 года назад

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite RU-vid channels. I think over the last week or so, I've binged about every one of your videos. Cheers!

btw, IPA also works like magic for removing hotglue - just a few drops, let them crawl under the glue and after a few seconds you can take off the glue like its never been glued😉
