20 Most Recent Nintendo Pokemon Gold Questions & Answers

Well, the problem is your vboy 1.30 emulator is not activated. For that you need the activation code. Send your imei number and i will provide you the activationj code.

You guys are stupid. The guy said that continue still shows up on the menu. That means the battery is not dead. The clock has likely just glitched. My friend was able to fix this by erasing the game and starting over. Sorry if it has to come down to that.

Usually when that happens, it's just because the cartridge or the system's connectors are dirty. Try blowing any dirt/dust out of the cartridge with a can of compressed air (or by blowing sharply into it if you have to--although that can be bad for the game since it introduces moisture to the cartridge).If that doesn't work, wet one end of a cotton swab with water, then use a paper towel to remove excess water until the cotton swab is just damp (you don't want water dripping into your game!). Then rub the damp swab across the contacts of your game cartridge in a back and forth motion. Flip the swab around and do the same with the dry end. Then pop the cartridge back into your game boy and try again.If all of that fails, there may be a more serious problem with your cartridge. The rattling is probably not related, that just happens to cartridges sometimes. I haven't come across a game boy game yet that couldn't be fixed by cleaning it, so hopefully this will solve your problem.

Apr 28, 07 at 12:41pm ^TUTORIAL: Fixing a dead save battery / "Why won't my game save?" It's been over 6 years since Pokemon Gold was released, and that's a ripe timeframe for seeing complaints that players' game cartridges are no longer saving data.This observance is almost universally the result of a dead save battery. Game Boy games put all their alterable data (such as player status) in RAM, but one thing to know about RAM is that it's volatile. A constant supply of power must be provided, or else all of the memory gets reset. Of course, since players can't be expected to leave their game plugged into the system and turned on all the time, any game with a save file uses a small battery to supply power, keeping the RAM from switching itself off. In Gold/Silver/Crystal, the battery is also used to power the in-game clock.It doesn't take much electricity to power the clock and memory to a satisfactory extent, but you are dealing with a small battery and a long period of time. After 5-7 years, the battery is expected to die. When the time comes for you (or if it already has), rather than getting a whole extra copy of the game (which is likely to be used, and its battery may not have much time left either, forcing you to repeat the process all over), it's possible to replace the save battery and start fresh. In this topic, I hope to explain how, and enable the reader to perform the operation on their own.First off, you need to open up the game. It's held together by a screw, but Nintendo used an obscure screw type so that the consumer isn't likely to be able to open it up. You won't find it in your average store either, but there are lots of online merchants out there, and some of them are bound to have the right driver. If you search on eBay for "nintendo 3.8mm", you should get relevant results.Once you're in, you need to replace the battery. Most Game Boy games use a CR1616 coin cell, but Pokemon R/B/G/S/C (not Yellow) use the larger CR2025. (The 2025 in the name means that the battery is 20 millimeters in diameter and 2.5 millimeters thick; the same convention holds for the rest of the CR line such as 1616 or 2450). Unlike the 3.8mm inverse-star driver, you can find CR2025 batteries at a store, at the display stand where they keep button and coin cell batteries for watches and other small devices. My local Target sells them for $3.19 each, which is fine if you don't want to go through the hassle of buying those online as well. If you do choose to buy batteries online, you can get them (usually in packs of 5) for $1.00 or less per battery. Beware of 2 things: 1) Avoid batteries that say they ship from Hong Kong; this is often the sign of a dubious seller who will have their item "confiscated" at customs and leave you with no recourse (shipping takes an inordinately long time from there in any case), and 2) many of the listings you'll find are for obscure brands that skimp on the reactants, resulting in batteries that don't last as long--stick to well-known brands such as Energizer, Maxell, or Panasonic.Once you have the driver and the battery, open up the case. The battery has a metal contact stuck on it (and there's also another contact underneath it). You need to pry the battery free of the contacts. Use a small, sharp knife and try to squeeze it under the contact, then twist it under you break the solder points. Then lift up the battery and do the same for the bottom contact. If the contacts bend a bit, that's fine; you just don't want them flying completely off the circuit board, rendering it useless for running a connection from the battery.Now you'll replace the battery with your fresh one. If you have access to soldering equipment, you can use that to re-fashion a sturdy connection between the battery and the contacts. If not, a good deal of electrical tape will suffice. Wrap it around the battery and the contacts, keeping them stuck together while also using the tape to shield the battery from forming an electrical current with extraneous parts of the circuit board, which could potentially ruin your game to the point that battery replacement won't fix it.Now just close the game up, fasten the screw in, plug it in, turn it on, and see if you can properly save again. If your battery isn't yet dead, but don't want to risk losing your file when it inevitably does, you might want to invest in a device called the "Mega Memory Card" for Game Boy. It'll let you back up your save, and though replacing the battery will cause power to stop flowing to RAM for long enough for the game cartridge to lose track of it, the MMC stores saves in non-volatile memory. After changing battery, you can restore your save file to the point it used to be.

Well its because the battery that allows you to save the game data inside of the gamepack is dead now and needs to be replaced it happens alot to older gamepacks then.

Well its because the battery inside of the gamepack is dead by now thats why it allows you to save the game data so after the battery dies you can't save any more unless the battery gets replaced. After 5 to 9 years the battery is expected to die too.

You need to change the battery or buy a new copy of the game.

To change the battery follow the steps in the video below. Be warned that it IS possible to damage/destroy your game cartridge

(Note: Make sure the battery is facing the right way when you put it in.)

You could use an escape rope, dig, or teleport (from an abra.)

If you don't have any of those items or abilities you could try trading a pokemon with your friend until you DO have a pokemon with fly, surf, the escape rope item, etc. Though how you got onto an island to begin with without surf or fly is beyond me.

Be aware you can still use surf and fly if your pokemon is knocked out.

there isn't a way to bring back a corrupted Gameboy game save. The reason the save has corrupted is because the small battery in the game had died. Replacing the battery might fix your game, but it won't bring back your save.

Replacing the battery might fix your game, but it won't bring back your save. Well you could use a memory stick for the game boy color and advance and orginal gameboy then instead.

Well its because the gamepacks battery that allows you to save the game data is dead now.

Well its because the gamepacks internals are broken thats why so you will just have to start all over again or buy a new one.

That looks like a game shark code. you need a game shark to put it in your game.

There is a small battery inside the carriage, replacing this will give the game the ability to keep saved data once again. *Note* I do not suggest doing this unless your experienced doing such thing. you can damage the board of the game if not careful.
