[Q] Pokémon Gold deleting save file - Off-topic

Hey,
Since this is off-topic I guess I can ask this question here.
I bought a Pokémon Gold cardridge for my Gameboy Advance yesterday and now I have a problem with the save files: every time I take out the cardrigde, the save file is deleted. I use my Gameboy only for this game right now, so not being able to take it out won't be a problem, but I'd still like to know the cause. As the game does save normally, I don't think the internal battery has died.
Thanks in advance.

That sounds like a dead battery to me - when you remove the cartridge the SRAM is no longer powered - so while you were able to save while it was powered, the battery is not keeping it powered once it's removed. I would test it and make a save game file, leave it in the GBA and leave it overnight and see what happens.
Pokemon Gold is getting old enough that there's a very good chance the original battery isn't doing so hot any more. I believe that generation of Pokemon especially had battery issues due to the real-time clock.
This is not directly helpful and you may have considered it already, but have you thought about using an emulator to play the game on your phone ?
I did this recently on my S3 and the controls translate well to touch-screen use. The ROMs are very small, too ! The GBC ones are only ~2Mb and GBA are usually 5-10Mb. Transferring my games to my phone was just another way to consolidate and make life simpler / more fun / easier.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have thought about playing using emulators, but playing it on a Gameboy gives it a way more authentic feeling. I guess I'll have to take it back to the store then .

I never had any problem with my Gameboy Advance, so I guess it's your Gameboy and not the games.

U think so? Cuz i bought newly and the model was old the first gameboy advance without backlight I know i was dumb that time my mom bought it for me as a gift and it used to work great but after a year the problems started occurring. Thought at first it would be feature not supported for this model. Thanks anyway its been 5 years since i bought it so i dont care!

If all games acted weird I think it is your gameboy, yes, because I think it is really strange if all games won't save anymore and the problem is not with the Gameboy itself. And even if you have one of the oldest Gameboys, all functions of the game should work properly.

i thinks its awesome playing super mario 64 runs great
all my roms skip so maybe a update will fix the hiccups.
I can't even download this from the store with my Nexus S.... apparently my device doesn't support it.
I even tried reverting back to a stock ROM and trying but no dice
It works good on mine as well Mario 64 is perfect and looks great.

Im only able to play a max of 5 or so minutes and then itll crash. Any1 else experience this?
ive used romgripper++ and another i cant remember.
ive played both zeldas, super smash bros, and super mario. All with the same problem.
Where do you guys get yours from.
Thnx
I use emulator plus and rom gripper+++

I have also found that the more system intensive games tent to crash after extended play.
If you turn the max skip rate up from 2 to 10 the sound plays smooth but the game jumps more.
I presume with more optimization it will become faster and more stable.
What is the control system like. I usually find emulated console games a little bit hard to play with a touchscreen due to a lack of proper haptic feedback and the fact your fingers get in the way of the screen a bit.

Im going to be giving a nook color to my son for his birthday and I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on which rom and programs to use.
Thanks for the help!
How old is he? My daughter is 8 and she runs circles around me. I am using the mirage cm7. Although miui is very simple and straight forward and it runs great on the nook.I hope I helped a little.

Good Idea! That sounds like something my son would do.
What about themes? I was thinking about using launcher pro to put a bunch of apps on a single home screen with a cool background.

Okay it's pretty easy.
THIS IS CAPSLOCK. YOU KNOW - EVERY WORD IN CAPITAL LETTERS
No one likes to read longer texts like that.
FYI: Writing everything in capital letters (or in bold btw) is considered as screaming.
My request was to please not only use BIG letters but write normal like everyone else. Thanks.

Sorry man, but have 15 doesnt mean I dont know anything: I had a xperia x8 before and I have rooted it, installed cwm, intalled roms, overclock it, changed the bb, the kernel and I have even created a team and rom, thing that I dont think you had done before
The rom is called tecnobread, a mod close my thread cuz I didnt have links(wich I was going to add)
So being older than me doesnt mean you know more than me
Im not in develop with the 2x cuz I think it, doesnt need to much hands, I will just wait for official updates and thats all, thats why im now playing games.
You dont believe anything? Go to my profile and look were it say in the albums "tecnobread" or "my rom"
Good bye

Dead Trigger working like a charm

I noticed that it's free now in the play store and wanted to share that with you.
Was playing it for a 30min, and I didn't found any bug/lag.
Graphics are automatically setted to low but it's playable on normal too.((Haven't tried something higher)
So, just go to play store and grab it.
Apk is about 7mb and you have to download additional data to sd that is ~115.
I hope I helped.

Just tried it. Works pretty well.
do you find the multi touch such as turning while assuming laggy? I'm wondering if it's just me.

I can't play that on HD2 after having played it on tegra3 LG Optimus 4x hd... Gameplay is still boring but now it lacks the awesome graphics
Just my 2 cents.
None of the multi touch games work well on our hd2s.

Got it working like a charm on my Tmous hd2, low graphics tho , when set to medium it can chuckle up a bit, so just keep it low to have it smooth :3
