Gonna change some batteries on a couple of old pokemon gameboy games (gold and crystal) and an old ez flash 256mbit. Bought a set of gamebits on ali, when the package arrived, there was only one in the package: the wrong one... Ordered it again, they arrived finally: complete! Now just waiting for the tabbed batteries.

You can use cr1616 battery holders in a gameboy cart. Instead of a tabbed battery. You can get like 20 on aliexpress for about $5. My friend had me do this to his games. Just search cr1616 battery holder.


Bought my ticket to the pet expo in 2 weeks. Going to buy some supplies and possibly another gargoyle gecko.

Damn, that's a really good tip!
Downside is that i'll have to wait another couple of weeks before I can get busy with it...

Yeah I get why he did it. It's one time soldering and you can easily replace the battery when you need too. But I would only do this if you don't plan on selling the games after. It could be just me but I would rather have any game carts I buy as original as possible.

Great games!
I played allot Rhapsody on my PSX, back in the day.

Like most things I just want to try if i can do it: I've got to Crystals, one's getting a tabbed one and the other a holder. I'ts very likely that i'll never play or sell them (after testing).

My choices are either mint OS or gray market windows 10 for general use and I'm huuuuuuuuuuuge fan of emustation, so I use batocera a lot for gaming.

PS2 fat with some weird third party controller and sonic mega collection plus. I also got a memory card and it wasn’t even formatted!

First, I found a broken fancy coffee grinder. Then, I found this super busted up espresso machine at Goodwill. It didn't work, for parts, for pretty much nothing for the both of them, a few weeks apart.

Usually, I wouldn't bother picking up for parts stuff--I'm not good at fixing stuff up, and I know nothing about espresso. But I decided to do some digging into warranty claims. It might not be the most legitimate thing, but with a receipt that might have been tossed into a photo editor, they said it was still under warranty, and after sending the two broken units back, I got a working Breville grinder and espresso machine!
