41·1 month agoYou won’t be able to order the next batch unless you charge the increase in the first as you won’t have the funds.
Just because a journalist says something doesn’t mean it’s even remotely true.
Basic economics.

If you crack open the battery-driven memory carts, the battery itself is usually pretty easy to replace.
I’ve got no time for someone who can’t even read context before bloviating about some irrelevant tangent.
Also, it’s incredibly obvious you are upvoting your comments with an alt, I suggest you stop that before yo get reported.

31·1 month agoHow does that replace the battery?
The person I responded to is talking about gameboy carts that have a cmos that needs to be replaced once in a while.
So those programs aren’t even for what the person wants.

If you crack open the battery-driven memory carts, the battery itself is usually pretty easy to replace. Losing your game saves sucks though.
So Mr. Smartass, since this whole thing is about 3DS cartridges, l
So you just can’t read. Have a good weekend troll!

3·1 month agoYou’re removing a panel from the cartridge
How else would you replace the battery?
You seem to be ignoring a large part of the conversation here lol. You understand that after dumping the rom the person is saying you STILL need to to replace the battery, yeah?

23·1 month agoYou’ve never worked in some place in -50 eh? Shut the vehicle off to work on it, and it ain’t starting again. And guess what, they don’t shut off while refueling either.
Spicy and risky, yet commonly done when needed, and perfectly safe with a few precautions as I pointed out.
Tradesman know there’s situations where the rules are changed, if you think they are white and black, you’re not a mechanic and are just lying.
You know there’s suits that have to energize live lines right? Obviously it isn’t done when not needed, but it’s done often enough, there’s rules and ways to do it safe. Shocking eh?

23·1 month agoYou understand there are circumstances where you need to work live?
Yes LOTO/try is needed when working on actual dangerous stuff, batteries, which aren’t having a current run through since the equipment isn’t on. Isn’t dangerous. Have you ever seen a forklift charging station, my god, you disconnect those live from the chargers, such an issue….
You’ll never drop a wrench
Leash.
touch something hot.
Put a blanket down.
Just yolo that shit, what could go wrong?
If you are taking something “apart” to fix it, I would assume the person has some knowledge and a modicum of critical thought and will figure out ways to deal with mundane issues.

3·1 month agoLots of electronics instructions tell you to leave it on, so you don’t lose your data when removing the CMOS, no one reads documentation or want to educate themselves on how batteries and circuits work.

23·1 month agoI asked the person, and they couldn’t articulate what the issue was. They seem to think removing a live battery is dangerous, they never stated otherwise.
Some people think you can’t replace a battery while the equipment is on, you can replace your car battery while it’s running. There’s literally no danger involved ever.

32·1 month agoHow is adding steps and error potential easier?
In what world is more steps and more potential issues the easier method?
People have been doing this way since the 80s, without flag carts. What do you think people did before….

21·1 month agoYou don’t have to modify anything… it just makes it easier. I even clarified that in the comment you responded too….
Most people don’t want to go that far and aren’t comfortable and "plug and play’ is in fact easier.
What’s more plug and play then replacing a battery? Adding extra steps and dumps is what makes it more work and isn’t anymore “plug and play”
It’s not easier to add more steps, and the battery is replaced the same way in both methods?
Why do you think doing less steps is MORE work?

What…?As I said customized, you take your gameboy apart if needed, but usually that’s not even needed.
Edit

87·1 month agoOh yes batteries are very scary and shouldn’t be touched. Sounds like you just don’t understand how batteries work and are afraid of doing something simple. So you’ve made it more complicated and costly, to avoid… idk even know what. Replacing a battery isn’t sketchy, it’s friggen hilarious you claim it is. This applies to ANYTHING with a battery fyi.

134·1 month agoWhy? The battery is just a current, and while the gameboy is on, it’s supplying the current instead.
What you’re suggesting is far more work and steps, and any transfer can corrupt.
There’s no way this can go wrong unless you turn the power off or disconnect the cartridges pins from the mount. Which can happen while using the transfers as well….
You don’t even need a computer, just the cart and a gameboy, and a screwdriver. It’s funny what people think is easier while including a dozen unnecessary extra steps that introduce issues at each step. And costs money.

84·1 month agoYou can replace the battery while the game is running to preserve the save. Need to have a few customized pieces though.
You know this is easily googleable… yeah?
1/2500 births, that’s pretty common actually.
People like you are why these jokes need to be explained in detail sometimes.
Wait, so you can’t follow a story past four panels? What is “four panel logic?” I think you made that up.
No, a poem and short story are two different ways to tell a narrative. You can’t write a poem in a short story format than cry foul when people don’t get the point because it no longer works.
How did you even get that form what I said? Oh right, you seem to have an issue with wanting to insult people Lmfao.
In every one of my comments I try to bring the discussion back to the narrative of the comic, you brought up pregnancy, which I addressed.
And in every response people, not just me, have tried to explain to you why the narrative just doesn’t bloody work. Doesn’t matter what your backround or how much you know about it, you’re failing basic language comprehension issue. Most people have agreed with those, and still tried to point you correct on the issue with comic.

41·1 month agoPart of being open source is subsequent licensing. This would allow any others to piggyback and avoid the fee.

When 4k/120 TVs came out, their Bravia was the best midrange you could get. Price doubled to get anything better.
