Also for those who think the battery might be clocking out soon, or just want to make sure you don't lose anything do to corrupt files.

This was the best thing my parents ever got me when I was playing Gen 1 & 2 non-stop. All of my favorite pokemon still survive thanks to Mega Memory Card and its superior saving mechanism.

u/OKfour · 8 pointsr/AdviceAnimals

Does anyone know if these are any good? I'm planning on blowing my next paycheck on one because I feel an unyielding need to back up my Pokemon data.

Everyone's talking about ways to keep the voltage on the volatile memory, but when I was a kid I had one of these:

You would just plug in your game, backup the save, change the battery, and restore the save. Worked great.

They made backup carts like these that you could transfer your games to. I've come across them at garage sales for a lot cheaper. But eBay might be another option. This one specifically says that it backs up to flash memory so you never have to worry about the battery running out and deleting your saved games off of it.

They sell things like this: Memory Card. Also BennVenns Joey Bags.

u/Side_order_of_road · 3 pointsr/pokemon

Here is one. I forgot how expensive it is, but you can have multiple files per game.

u/Knucklessg1 · 3 pointsr/pokemon

back up all your color game saves.

u/Highfro · 3 pointsr/Gameboy

I use one of these

Mega Memory Card - https://www.amazon.com/Mega-Memory-Card/dp/B00002R108

there kind of expensive because there used in the chiptune scene, and by pokemon players

another option is the Monster Brain - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000056HGE

seems to have solid reviews!

u/slimslimh · 3 pointsr/retrogaming

Have a look at Mega Memory Card, that’s a device that can have 100 saves in it

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00002R108/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_RkANDb10XW020

Here is an example, this is US example that works with everything, but pretty sure you ll find some in the EU

u/Serendiplodocus · 3 pointsr/Gameboy

Battery could still be good - and if it is, he can back up his original save with this:

Some games store their saves in non volatile ram so they will last forever. Pokémon Crystal, silver, and gold all store your game saves in ram and there is battery that powers the ram chip and the game clock. Peoples batteries have been dying for years now. Mine died about 2 years ago. Interestingly when your plying the game it doesn’t use any battery power because the cartridge is powered by you game boy. So people who played all the time had their battery last longer. The first sign that your battery is dying is that the game forgets what time it is when you turn it off.

The battery in the cartridge is fairly easy to replace but disconnecting the old battery will also delete your save. I would recommend buying this thing from Amazon that allows you to backup your saves into something that doesn’t have a stupid battery that will die. Don’t believe me? Google it.

u/Tokimobile · 2 pointsr/pokemon

Forgot to say, you can also use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/MEGA-MEMORY-CARD-Game-Boy-Color/dp/B00002R108

u/q-quan · 2 pointsr/pokemon

There are tools that can store your save data (they use Solid State Memory, like a flashdrive), and then put it back, so if you obtain one, you could replace the battery while you still have your save. Here is one: http://www.amazon.com/MEGA-MEMORY-CARD-Game-Boy-Color/dp/B00002R108 I never used one, but it has some good reviews!

Also, here is a new battery for your game: http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Battery-Pokemon-Game-Boy-Color/dp/B004IXQISS/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_text_y/188-0775787-4049954

u/Shroudedheart6 · 2 pointsr/pokemon

It's really easy to change the battery (I've done it for all my Gen II/Gen III games) and you need to invest in the Mega Memory Card! It's a life saver! :)

u/rocky1003 · 2 pointsr/pokemon

Gen I AND II cartridges lose their saves when the batteries die out. I recommend you buy new batteries and follow this to stop the inevitable http://youtu.be/RsROHA7RUCQ

Trust me, I lost my Yellow and Blue save files two years ago because my battery tanked.

Also buying this for even more insurance is recommended, makes you sleep better at night! It'll back up and restore any Gameboy Save File http://www.amazon.com/Mega-Memory-Card/dp/B00002R108

u/opcrack · 2 pointsr/explainlikeimfive

Mega memory plus, saves progress of old gameboy games. Great for those pesky game with no save function.

Note: Make sure it has a working battery :)

I've actually hypothesized about this before, but I don't know if this would be viable or cost-effective.

There exists these devices which allow you to make a backup of just about any GB or GBC game, and then allow you to save them onto a computer. You could backup a GSC game with imported Pokemon from RBY, and then, using a program, extract the Pokemon saved as files. Afterwards, you would use another program to convert those Pokemon files into .pkm's which are used in every other mainstream Pokemon game.

The only difficult part would be converting these 2nd Gen files into 3/4/5th Gen files, as a lot of the game mechanics are different. IVs, for example, are out of 15 instead of 31, and EVs (Stat Exp.) are completely different. Additionally, things like gender and shininess are determined by the IVs in 2nd Gen, so things like that would have to be recognised and be taken account for in the personality value.

There are a lot of roadblocks and barriers, maybe too many to execute this feasibly, which is why Nintendo and Game Freak didn't do it. This could, however, be done. Again, this is just a hypothesis and wouldn't really represent real-world scenarios. Who knows, maybe this is a start on something, but this most likely can't be done.

u/Frodo-Lives · 1 pointr/pokemon

Buy this: http://www.amazon.com/MEGA-MEMORY-CARD-Game-Boy-Color/dp/B00002R108
Save your save, change the battery, load save. Childhood friends saved.

u/RollRoundInTheToilet · 1 pointr/pokemon

Buy a Mega Memory Card - It'll let you back up your old save! [eBay] [Amazon]

u/DabuSurvivor · 1 pointr/WonderTrade

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this back up those games?

u/nintrader · 1 pointr/explainlikeimfive

Apparantly this thing lets you do so. Haven't tried it myself (and yes, I did catch the Seinfeld reference).

Mega Memory Card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00002R108/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FHT7BbH00QTSA
This is the one I bought years ago. It’s gone way up in price.

u/groftsnurw · 1 pointr/pokemon

Yup.

Those were produced in a quite cheap way. Had to wrap Duct Tape around mine so it didn't break in half. The electronical parts, however, work just as intended and it has enough storage for multiple save files.

In combination with a flash cart, I can even copy my saves on my computer.

**I accidently a word

*** funny. the "often bought together" part even suggests about everyting you need in order to replace your battery without losing your savegame. Just lacks a soldering iron.

u/forshamie · 1 pointr/Gameboy

Something like this or a retron would work. https://www.amazon.com/Mega-Memory-Card/dp/B00002R108

u/civicminded31 · 1 pointr/Gameboy

Yup! This is what you're looking for, but don't pay that much for one. Check eBay and see if you can get a better price.

u/adhdkiki · 1 pointr/pokemon

Oh my goodness. I am sorry for being an ass to you, seriously. And to be honest, the EMS carts suck barrels of dicks at a time. Your best bets for the EMS carts is to buy a Mega Memory card to transfer your saves to http://www.amazon.com/GBC-MEGA-MEMORY-CARD/dp/B00002R108/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323025182&sr=8-1 and for sake of all things good I restore my LSDJ save to a spare Gameboy Camera cart. It won't function of course, but the save is redundant in case I misplace/lose my Mega Memory card. Another thing it is good for is transferring saves from my USB-hating EMS cart to my functional one for computer backup.

There are 3 main alternatives I am considering for replacing my EMS carts:

  1. Hoping that the Drag'n Derp cart is finished, or maybe some new cart will magically appear. If you can, try to buy/trade for a used Bleepbloop, they are really solid.
  2. Currently looking into making my spare copy of Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages into a LSDJ-flashed cart, and I can back it up using my EMS cart as I see fit.
  3. Also looking at what it would take to incorporate a batteryless flashcart PCB that supports some sort of memory card. Slowly making progress on designs for it with a friend who is designing a BRAM cart for the Sega CD as well as a SMPS tracker cartridge with new hardware ports (MIDI out, etc). This is the most beneficial option to myself and the community, but it is still in a very early state.

    The Famitsu pocket was $20, sniped it on ebay. I never pay more than $15 for a DMG or pocket, aside from my one exception. I prefer the DMG for recording but the Pocket does fine when I am going around University for classes or sitting in the library. I have a phone with a 5 inch screen, which is already plenty to carry in my pocket.

    If you are on SoundCloud or something, send me a link. Sorry for sounding like a pretentious douchebag, but I really know what I am talking about when it comes to nearly anything Gameboy. I can actually give a friend who is a German exchange student a spare EMS cart to mail to you in Germany. She goes home in two weeks, and I can give you a discounted price via Paypal. Shipping withing the country should be cheap. ;) Don't want hardware to hold you back from making music.
u/HotRodLincoln · 1 pointr/gaming

Well, this exists: http://www.amazon.com/Mega-Memory-Card-Game-Boy-Color/dp/B00002R108

but I don't know if it's a: what you want, or b: will work with GBAs. I had one a long time ago. It shares a case with the old GameSharks except in yellow.
