  • Received this copy of Pokémon Ruby that was getting a garbled Nintendo logo when inserted into the Game Boy. Let's take a look at the game and see if we can figure out what's wrong.
    This is my first time filming a repair of any sort so I apologize in advance for the awkwardness.
    Need a repair? Reach out to me via e-mail: corey@imod.systems
    I offer an affordable mail in game battery replacement service. $20 for the first game, $10 per game after that. The cost includes the return shipping. I will backup and restore your save (if available) and polish the edge connector. I will also seal any exposed traces caused by the game rubbing against the cartridge shell.

    What SP mod shell is that, I absolutely love the color!

      That’s the Slate mod. You can find the shell at retro game repair shop.

    I have a suggestion. Use a high-pass filter to remove the really low frequency hum in the background.

      Thanks for watching! I got all of that sorted out in my later videos. In that video I was recording off of my iPhone and didn’t do any editing. On my later videos I got a proper mic and filter setup.

    what i always tell people is learn how to solder practice for a while when you are skilled and confident enough then go ahead because its not like you can go to shop and buy a new game

    • @imod.systems
      @imod.systems  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s great advice. You can buy soldering practice kits for $1-$2

    • @imod.systems
      @imod.systems  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That might make a great video down the road. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Great explanation! I haven't gotten into fixing pins like that so super helpful.

    I have a Pokemon Ruby cartridge that I tried replacing the battery. It didn't work. Could you possibly fix it?

    Man, I didn't think watching somebody fix cartridges would be so fun and entertaining, but here we are. And having worked back from your most recent to this one, the jump in quality is great from this to the Pokemon Blue repair. I hope I get to enjoy even more of your repairs ^.^

      That’s an excellent way to get liquid damage on your games.

    I solder at class three for medical equipment and I’ve replaced a lot of these. It’s sad when this happens.

    • @imod.systems
      @imod.systems  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, you can see more damage on my latest Emerald video. It’s extremely common, sadly.

    omg the droning sound in the background made my subwoofer mad (and possibly my neighbors).

    • @imod.systems
      @imod.systems  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, my bad. This was the first video I ever recorded and ended up using my iPhones mic. Didn’t run it through any editing apps. My next videos are much better with production quality.

    in my experience the easiest way to reset the rtc is just cheap ds flashcart with rtcread-ds on it, given you have ds with gba slot. No mod required.

    • @imod.systems
      @imod.systems  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I just connect it up to my PC using a GBXCart and set the flags with PKHex.
