So it’s really easy to back these up and keep them somewhere safe forever. I backed up over 60 saves to my computer (yes it took a long time), but the. So this really pushed me to finally back these up to a computer once and for all. Thankfully years ago I made a backup using my Mega Memory Card. Better safe then sorry right? My Pokemon Red game just stopped working, a failure much larger then the battery was the cause I’m afraid.
While it may still work now, the time is ticking on when the battery will finally fail. Meaning the battery is over 13 years old. For example Pokemon Red came out in 1998 and that game is now over 13 years old. For example most games are losing their saves recently, that’s because these batteries don’t last forever. Once this battery dies your save file is lost forever.
GameBoy games that involve saves run on a battery. This allows you to copy gamesaves and more from a GameBoy game to your computer! Finally allowing you to really preserve your gamesaves and other data forever. This is basically a blank GameBoy cartridge with internal built-in storage and a USB port. There were other devices that were based on the use of the old Parallel port standard, but thankfully those days are behind us.Įnter the GB USB 64m Smart Card. But until recently there was no easy way to get these saves onto your computer or into an emulator to really preserve it forever. As well as having alternate saves for a variety of games. Meaning I can backup my Pokemon game, erase the save file and let my brother play and restore my original game at anytime. The Mega Memory card had 30 available slots. This strange shaped yellow device almost looked like a Game Shark, but instead of hacking your games and giving you infinite lives, this device let you backup your game saves. Growing up I was always a bit of a geek, so one day I found a device in a store titled the “Mega Memory Card” made by the now defiant company Interact.
That game of course was Pokemon, available originally in the United States in a Red or Blue version this game would go onto break records and hypnotize millions of kids into becoming Pokemon fanatics for life.
But in 1998 a big game came along that used the save function, and it wouldn’t have been a success without it. Most early games did not allow you to save your progress, alternatively a password system was used to pickup where you left off. If you were a kid growing up in the mid 90’s there was probably a good chance you had a GameBoy from Nintendo. (A YouTube video briefly highlighting the process)
