Wow, that's a tough break... I bought an expensive device for backing up Gameboy Advance games on the computer, just in case.

Yeah a backup system isnt too bad of an idea. Cartridges use a little lithium battery, and those things can only last so long...

Most of my SNES games,for example, cant save data well anymore.

Precisely my line of thinking.

WWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT?????? what do you mean cartrdge ? how long does it last? how much for a back up????

Cartredge... the little things you put in the back of the gameboys, you know? How do you think they keep their save data? They need a tiny source of power. And eventually, that runs down. How do you think that some games have an internal clock that keeps going no matter wheather the game is on or not? They usually design it so that when the game boy is turned on, it charges the battery up, but long periods of inactivity (like, decades) may lose the saved data.

But I wouldn't pay money for a game backer upper... I mean, it would be nice, but... its just a game, right? If you mess up, you start again! Part of the fun. But that's just me.

no. no,no,no. a game is more than that. its the life and soul of your sp, a tresured bit of hope that your better at something than someone....... if i lost my save data, i'd dissolve.

well u know what...my sis erased mines...

I just stick with the old emulator. Save the game for real and save the game state 10 times in different slots. 11 backups.

But I like being able to play anywhere. I play on my SP and back it up to my computer, and then I can play it on the computer or just copy the save file a thousand times.

Get a laptop! Im too poor for a GBA. lol

"Get a $1000-$2000 thing! I'm too poor for a $100 thing." I have a laptop, and a GBA. But for some reason I find the tiny GBA more portable than the laptop.

lol. good point....lol.

I think the battery is reliable for about seven years. (or so it says on the Gameboy Colour games: "01-08" it says on the battery... I think it means it was installed in 2001 and will last till about 2008)

GBA games might last longer. I have no idea. The technology being more recent and more advanced etc.

I have a backup device. It's only a $10,00 cable (bought it second hand, so I don't know where to get it, sorry ) which links my gameboy to the USB port so I can exchange my savegames with my computer.

It does not like FoMT though O_o It simply doesn't see any savegames so I can't exchange them >_< That's annoying.

Well this explains how you could play Pokemon and it actually be day or night I learned something new today! Yay me! :lala
