Thread's about the 3ds. For GBA you need DS homebrew and a Phat/Lite console. For GB you need a custom device or an n64 with transfer pak and flashcart.

This is part of why physical copies are not preservationist, by the way. Turning that physical copy into a preservable, emulated-accurately ROM is the end point. The only value physical copies have are as collectible knickknacks (which hey! Collectible knickknacks rule!)

Post is, thread isn’t dude…

If you crack open the battery-driven memory carts, the battery itself is usually pretty easy to replace.

I’ve got no time for someone who can’t even read context before bloviating about some irrelevant tangent.

Also, it’s incredibly obvious you are upvoting your comments with an alt, I suggest you stop that before yo get reported.

It's incredibly obvious you're a moron, stop that before you get reported.
