So I finally got my GBASP back from my cousin as well as my Silver cart yesterday. The battery ran out on Silver somewhere between the time I last played it and the point where I lent it to him unfortunately, so I was hoping to replace it so I could play properly again. I've found out several things while trying to replace the battery:
1. It's hard as hell to open GB/A carts without a very sharp pair of needle-nose pliers or some sort of magic screwdriver.
2. G/S/C carts (and possibly the newer ones too) contain a crystal oscillator to keep track of time. Neat.
3. You have to do some soldering to change the battery. Not neat. Mostly because I don't have a soldering iron and have never used one in my life. Looks like I'll be changing both of those things soon.
In the meantime I've picked up trying to get a shiny Registeel through soft resetting in Sapphire and just passed 900 resets. Fun!
god im real mad at awakened mewtwo, just cause of those eyes and fingers
I showed the new Mewtwo form to a group of people ages 11, 13, 14, and 17 yesterday. All four of them exclaimed almost simultaneously, "it looks like a girl!"
Which kind of got me thinking; did anyone else think Mewtwo's voice in the Japanese trailer sounded really feminine?
