  • I know it's been a while since I've made the last video, but that just means more mail to open, right? 12 packages picked up this time, some will work, some will not. A sneak peek into some upcoming videos

      The housing is repro. The stamped "Game Boy Advance" is quite a bit thinner and more raised. Your Fire Red is genuine, and you'll notice its thicker text and more flush to the cart surface.

    wow !! a wild video just appears !
    more seriously , I discover this chanel 2 weeks ago when trying to fix my NES ( and I succeeded thanks to you ) , and I've watched every video since then
    and after this I checked the date of the last video and realise that the last one was 3 month ago
    so I told myself that this channel was dead and I will have no more good reparation video
    so it's a good surprise , and I'm waiting to learn more awesome stuff about repairing retro stuff
    this channel is maybe not the more professional and I don't learn a lot of complicated electronic stuff , but it's good for a novice like me and you always show perfectly all the operation you made
    one day I hope I can even star to buy broken console on brocante ( I don't know the english word for this I'm french , it's a place where people sell their old stuff in the street )
    because until now , every retro gaming stuff I buy is in perfect condition and so very expensive , but with all the knowledge I get from your video I can begin to buy broken stuff for a very low price and repair them myself :)
    so in the name of my bank account ( gravely damaged by my retro gaming addiction ) , I say Thank you for sharing your knowledge

    Super Nintendo carts have a DRM chip on them and when it fails (and that one had a tendency to be the first one to go on a SNES cart) the game enters some sort of "pirated" lockdown status which is characterized as the "locked screen" effect. Many "broken" SNES carts are actually working, the actual essential parts that is.

    • @SmallAsHellFitness

      If you dont have a composite (red white and yellow) hook up you're probably out of luck. They do make adapter boxes which upscales the signal to hdmi. Quality varies considerably and can introduce lag
