Intro post... and question about Crystal

Dec 02, 2008 16:37

Just joined. I have Crystal, Emerald, a MIA FireRed, and I've played parts of Blue, Gold, Diamond, and Mystery Dungeon Red (I borrowed/rented these). I used to have Ruby, but I sold it. I wish Nintendo would send us to the Orange Islands for the next-gen games ( Read more... )

game: gold/silver/crystal, generation 2

Unfortunately, when the save battery dies, the save file goes with it D:

I totally agree about the Orange Islands part! Maybe our Gen II remakes (wish wish) could include them.

I want my Gen II remake to have all the regions. =) Hooray for the S.S. Anne!

Order this as soon as very possible:

I'm serious. If I were you, I would go so far as to get the fastest shipping possible, too, since they're so cheap.

Get it,
save your game to it.
Replace the battery in your game,
restore the save file.

Bam. Immortal G/S/C. That's how I do it =3

Oh yeah, and either I or google can help you with resetting the internal clock. It's not too big a deal, but it's something you have to deal with when you change the battery/restore save file.

Yeah, and for clarity, it's THIS mega memory card:

If the battery runs out, your saved game will disappear and you won't be able to save a new game either.

Just for the record, when your game hits 245 hours it will delete itself, too. It happened to me - it was pretty devastating. D: But, then again, you're only at 200 hours. By now you've probably done everything there is to do so you don't have to play for another 45, right? xD When this happens, you can still start and save a new game, though.

I'm doubting this. Is there proof other than your instance?
I'm really doubting this ^^;

I know how unlikely it sounds, when it first happened I thought I had somehow crashed my game, too.

You see, 245 is the bit limit in GBC hardware. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a technician, a friend told me this - in any case, 245 is the limit it can "count" to. It doesn't usually generate numbers over 245, but if your safegame gets that long/longer, it will be unable to read the "time played" number and consider it corrupted. Or maybe it just can't read it. In any case, you will be unable to access or even see it in the menu.

fuckin snorlax own in this movie bleachedmud December 5 2008, 12:33:43 UTC

So it doesn't delete itself, y'just have trouble seeing the time played?

Thank you for explaining. But I feel like I've known people who have clocked over 300 hours in their games.

I'll have to get to paying attention to my Crystal and see what happens at 245.

When you replace your battery, the save file gets reset :(

If you have Pokemon Stadium or Stadium 2, you can same your pokemon on the N64 game, before you replace your batteries. You can't re-import them into another gameboy save file until your dex reaches at least 150, though. It's what I ended up doing. Good luck!

astrologyisfake December 4 2008, 20:22:40 UTC

I considered that, but I'm not sure if anyone I know still has an N64 (lousy Nintendo not making GameCube backward compatible).

bleachedmud December 5 2008, 12:40:49 UTC

=[
I hadn't even considered that option, haha. Good memory, rachelled.
I have an N64 with both stadiums, and I actually utilise the boxes on there. I have tons of cloned Zapdos and Exeggutor and Starmie (AWESOME team).

hahaha, A GameCube playing N64 games? That seems awkward, a system which reads both discs and cartridges. Then it would have cost even more, and it would have been an obese freak system like how crazy the Genesis/MegaDrive got. They would essentially be building an N64 inside the GameCube along with the GameCube's hardware.
If someone really wanted, I bet they could make a Game Boy Player-like attachment, which could play N64 games. But it'd be a real pain in the ass.

Mayyyybe they could have done like they're doing now with the Wii. On the Wii they're re-releasing GameCube games on it. I don't know if they're putting them on a GameCube or a Wii discs...

But anyway. They maybe could have put N64 games on GameCube discs.
