Some of the GBA carts have batteries.
![]() Some are just EEPROMs ![]() EEPROMs only die after about...what, an extremely high amount of state changes. Like 10 to a 100 thousand times. So in the case of BOF, it's probably a battery powered unit, I would imagine. I can't think of it dieing otherwise this soon. GBA carts run on 3 volts, I believe, so a replacement, should you have the security screwdriver bit, should be simple. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Batteries will fail, regardless of usage. Replacements have to be done, regardless. Playing on a flashcart will not alleviate the problem, although it will prevent his save file from nuclear meltdown.
Alternatively, you could connect the cart to a 3 volt power source while you operate, and replace the battery on a regular basis, and as long as the power isn't interupted, your save file should exist forever. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
