Great to see uploads again 👍🏻 you’re hella smart when it comes to the innards of game cartridges - 80% of the time I had no idea what you’re talking about 😂 but great to see you’re doing well

Thanks so much! It will be dumped ASAP. I have a cart dumper on the way so fingers crossed it goes well 🤩 I had more footage of the repairs under the microscope but sadly it all corrupted and was blank 😢

Fantastic find Kev, and good work on saving them carts, ive had to re-flow a few in my time. Be super cool to find out re Zelda, truth be told i was hoping it was bugs bunny crazy castle on there hahahahaha

I was soooo happy as you heard that it was Zelda but I should have it dumped next week and checked out so fingers crossed it has something extra special in the code 😊 it was odd how 1 cart pin had rusted off from wario...wish there was a cleaner way of repairing the trace

Flashboy. It's Chinese but it's what I use. Has save/ROM dump/write for gb gbc GBA and Gameboy camera rite around 50usd
@kevinwoolford1235 ай бұрын
Will it write to a dev cart also? 😍
@JWG.LLC_The_Artist5 ай бұрын
@@kevinwoolford123 doubt it, (it will not write over any official carts.) It writes over any type of flash memory (example any ALL cheap Chinese reproduction carts,) Definitely dump the ROM and save with it though, then put them on a cheap repro cart with it

@JWG.LLC_The_Artist the idea is to borrow the open source cart reader next week and dump it and compare. After that if any differences are found it can be out for preservation sake. I can't wait to play it all 😎 will update as I look through it all with my friend and hopefully it's got some unused content 🙏

Dump, make a patch if different, there are various builds of this game available from the leak, it may be a duplicate
@kevinwoolford1234 ай бұрын
Yeah, I'd love to see if it's different and will know ASAP. If it's the same build ofc I'm totally happy with that ☺️ it's definitely one of the best things I've found on ebay for a very long time

If you know anymore about if these can be written to somehow outside of the original gangflasher tool, please let me know as id love to tinker with it more

I would encourage that you leave the Dev kit of Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening be, because as it is, it is very rare and you already know that it's officially by Nintendo. You could lose everything if you take the game off, that's how delicate they really are.

It's not being played at this moment and will be dumped next week on a high quality cart dumper built by my friend Simon Lock. It needs to be preserved just incase of any differences from the retail software. I'd hate for it to die and nobody gets to experience what was on it (if it's different) so will update next video on the progress and what we find 🙏
@kevinwoolford1235 ай бұрын
I guess it's like owning a one of a kind thing and keeping it just for me or preserving it for everyone's future. It does carry a risk ofc but I pray it all goes well so we can all enjoy it 😊
