I've bought some replicas of Red, Yellow, silver and Gold in Ali Express, and none of them works in my pokemon stadium 2 cartridge. You are so lucky to make your replica work.
Some bootleg cartridges are not recognized at all and can't be used in Pokémon Stadium 2. The game shows a grey Game Boy cartridge and says that "this Game Pak can't be used" or something like that.
I bought a repro Green version in English, and I started it up. After “PRESS START”, it showed the cartridge as Green but everything was “?????” like if it the data was destroyed but it wasn’t. I wanted to at least access the lab, but I couldn’t 😞
This looks like a potentially interesting series. Maybe you can look inside the Pokemon Red that you have and compare the PCB with other bootlegs. I think this would help us understand why some replicas work and others don't. I'd be interested in getting Pokemon Yellow so I can have the Surfing Pikachu, since I've already done almost everything else in Pokemon Stadium with my original Pokemon Red.
I have a VERY old spanish red pokemon that is replica and works just like yours in my stadium 2. All functions except GB tower And for those looking for the Aliexpress REPRO, don't do that because you will be throwing your money away. These Aliexpress games do not work in stadium 1 and 2
These games are battery powered. The battery makes sure the SRAM on the cart is always powered on, so your save data stays on there. Once the battery's dead, your save game and ability to save dies with it. The reason your Red cart still works but Crystal doesn't, is because Gold/Silvers and Crystal have a clock feature built into the cartridge that is also powered by the save battery, and since the clock is always ticking, even if the Gameboy is turned off, it'll eat up your battery even faster. The best way to ensure your data is safe is by transferring to Stadium like you did, of utilizing a third party save backup device that saves to flash storage, so when you manage to replace the SRAM battery, you could in theory restore your game to it's old state. A better solution would be if someone designed a mod that allows you to save directly to flash, and then use the save battery for in-game saving, as well as connecting to Stadium. But that would require some engineering that these repro bootleggers won't bother to do...
If there's a decent market for it some could put the effort into making something like that. Maybe not your average jo shmow selling a bunch of random repros for $20 each, but a passionate fan could.
The problem of the reproductions is simple, the pokemon cartridge to recognize the game of any pokemon game does it through the battery of the cartridge, if it does not recognize it it cannot access your game, exactly the same happens with the reproductions of the third generation at the time of wanting to transfer your pokemon to the fourth generation, I hope you have understood my explanation since I use a translator to be able to explain all this.
@@BlazingKhioneus Yeah, the Stadium option when Round 2 is enabled, if the option just turns red is a revision 1.0 and maybe 1.1, if the image of the Stadium turns night-time along the option turning red then is revision 1.2
So I have a fake crystal im testing but this fake crystal has a battery and it reads the save file fine currently trying to see if it will play in tower but if you want fake Pokémon cartridge to work they have to have a save battery for it to read
Was wondering why my yellow repro wouldn't load up, I don't have a gameboy at the moment so no way to test that it works, but my blue version loads and plays, yellow just won't.
Have you ever had your game data erased when inserting it in the transfer pack? I’m kinda afraid of inserting mine because I don’t want to keep having my data erased
@@JussimirPasold unfortunately I don't. I did attempt to try and get the link or find the seller but when I clicked on it, the link came up invalid. it's been a few years.
@famguy218 I've lost 3 save files on my silver version, 45-50 hours total, gone Plays and saves fine on my GBC, everything original/OEM. Save file gone as soon as I connect to stadium 2. And worse, even new batteries won't hold a save anymore after being connected to stadium 2
yeah i had a repro yellow and red and only a legit pokemon crystal, unfortunately both yellow and red now do not save at all or cannot hold a save after 2/3 years, its pretty unfortunate as i was almost done with red and i used it for glitches as well
So I almost booted up crystal legacy with a save battery attached clicked on load small before playing game and it gets close to load before I reach the little movie scene it crashes but it reads the save file
Do the replica games have a battery inside like the original ones? I'd take a replica if it requires no battery and not to bothered if the tower doesn't work as it maybe possible to play on my GameCube Gameboy player. No battery would mean it's safe for life unless corrupt
it's been some time since i've transferred pokemon over with the transfer pak, but is it possible to put my pokemon yellow pokemon in stadium temporarily? my yellow's battery will die at some point, and I don't want to lose all my pokemon... i don't mind starting over with the story only if i have my current pokemon to steamroll through the game.
Just buy the mega memory card for gameboy color you can save multiple games on that device swap out old battery on your yellow or whatever you have then re boot the old sage back on and boom never have anything to worry about ever again 😊
You can buy an adapter. It's an AV to HDMI adapter. It's a little box that has the av cables as the input and HDMI as the output. Also has a USB cable to power the Box

Have you cleaned the contacts of the controller pak? Mine wouldn’t work either at first, but after some blowing and cleaning with IPA, it works just fine
Inserting and removing the transfer pack like 50 times and cleaning the pack and where it connects to the controller with isopropyl alcohol and a qtip got mine to work like that the connectors might just be dirty
i have a repro of pokemon yellow trying to run it on stadium 2. it detects the game cart but it says "saved file not found" but the save file does work on any other system any one found any fixes?
Lmao. Really triggered by the title. The rules are the same for both. On both you can use Pokemon from replicas but you can't use the towers. I used the same Pokemon Red and the same team to get through Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2. So if someone watched the video, hopefully they'll see from the title that you can still use replicas and PS1 and PS2.
@@MakoKong Not sure why you think im triggered for pointing something out and asking a question. I was trying to find out if replicas would connect to Stadium 2 which other videos showed they don't.
@@alucard8433 the comment just seems like you were triggered. If you genuinely just wanted to know if it worked for Pokemon Stadium 2, why not just ask does it work for Pokemon Stadium 2?

@@pancakes7294 the gb repros don't have SRAM and a save battery, that's why it don't work

This video made me realize my copy of Pokémon stadium is version 1.0 and am surprised noone really talks about the round 2 stadium icon difference.
As you play through the trainer tower and complete the game, stadium changes it’s look

Thank u! This is what I wanted to know. I wanna buy Pokemon crystal for pokemon stadium 2.
do you know if a repro copy of pokemon stadium 2 works on a legit copy of pokemon silver? cant find the info anywhere.
That's what I'm looking for
it does work!
It does. I have Stadium in my ED64 and a legit Gold cart, and they work beautifully.
Appreciate it cause I tried so many times last night and was wondering why one time didn’t at least work
yeah i had a repro yellow and red and only a legit pokemon crystal, unfortunately both yellow and red now do not save at all or cannot hold a save after 2/3 years, its pretty unfortunate as i was almost done with red and i used it for glitches as well
Cuz u need replace the battery inside the cartdrige
This was pretty helpful, now I just hope I can flash a save with competitive ready Pokemon on a repro cart to use on the game
If you have gameboy player for the GameCube it reads fake rims and rom hacks perfectly fine but I know people want stadium 1 or 2 for the speed
sometimes mine wont read saved file but the file is still on cart. why does this happen y is any data affected in the firxt place?
So I almost booted up crystal legacy with a save battery attached clicked on load small before playing game and it gets close to load before I reach the little movie scene it crashes but it reads the save file
Working GB Tower with fake Pokémon Red! Crystal doens't work though
How about original gbc games like crystal on the fake Pokémon stadium 2?
That usually works
Do the replica games have a battery inside like the original ones? I'd take a replica if it requires no battery and not to bothered if the tower doesn't work as it maybe possible to play on my GameCube Gameboy player. No battery would mean it's safe for life unless corrupt
Bootleg cartridges don’t have a battery
better question do other gameboy games work on it? id try it but i havent had pokemon stadium or any games in years. long story
Only pokemon games will work
it's been some time since i've transferred pokemon over with the transfer pak, but is it possible to put my pokemon yellow pokemon in stadium temporarily? my yellow's battery will die at some point, and I don't want to lose all my pokemon... i don't mind starting over with the story only if i have my current pokemon to steamroll through the game.
Yes you can move them back
Just buy the mega memory card for gameboy color you can save multiple games on that device swap out old battery on your yellow or whatever you have then re boot the old sage back on and boom never have anything to worry about ever again 😊
Did the reporduction crystal have the celebi event I just got mine but have t had time to play or find an answer on the web

Your stadium looks completely different then mine. Different opening screen and yours is night time
It changes when you beat the game on both difficulties. It'll happen to yours too afterwards
i have a repro of pokemon yellow trying to run it on stadium 2. it detects the game cart but it says "saved file not found" but the save file does work on any other system any one found any fixes?
I have the same problem
I think ive heard about saving your pokemon data incase the cartride battery is dying. Is this The wayy?
No, for that you need a Mega Memory card or a Monster Brain memory card.
How about a gbc everdrive?
So you can transfer fake romhack pokemon that don't exists
Can real red version or silver work on a fake stadium 2????
Gen 1 games might work, Gen 2 do not
Battery dies is why it loses save.
Did you mod the n64 for hdmi?
Nope. They sell adapters for the N64. You plug the AV cables into the adapter and then the adapter has an HDMI input
You got lucky bro, that’s awesome
