Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Opened ROM cartridge for the Game Boy Color. Here: Pokémon Silver. Some ROMs, like this one, use battery fed RAM. When the battery is empty old save games are lost and new ones cannot be restored anymore. The only possibility to enable saving again is to manually replace the battery with a new one, like e.g. described here. The tutorial also suggests to use a CR2032 battery (220 mAh) instead of the original CR2025 battery (165 mAh). The ROMs are closed with kind of an External Torx screw. I could open it by molding a plastic screwdriver: An empty plastic pen melted over a flame and pressed into the hole gave a perfectly formed (but not so stable) screw driver.
Deutsch: Geöffnetes ROM-Modul für den Game Boy Color (hier Pokémon Silber). Einige Module (wie die meisten Pokémon-Module) verwenden zum Speichern des Spielstandes batteriegespeistes RAM, und sobald die Batterie leer ist, sind die Spielstände verloren und neue können zwar gespeichert, jedoch nicht mehr geladen werden. Die Batterie kann nur manuell ersetzt werden. Das wird zum Beispiel hier beschrieben, mit dem Tipp, gleich eine CR2032-Batterie mit 220 mAh statt die standardmässig eingebaute CR2025 mit 165 mAh (beinahe 1/3 geringere Kapazität) einzubauen. Das Modul ist mit einer Art externer Torx-Schraube verschraubt, die ich mit einem selbst hergestellten Plastikschraubenzieher öffnen konnte: Durch (langsames) Erhitzen eines Plastikschreibers (Stabilo, hintere Seite). Wenn das geschmolzene Ende dann in die Schraube drückt, formt sich ein schöner Abdruck. Das Plastik muss muss vor der Verwendung gut abkühlen (kaltes Wasser!), da es sonst zu weich ist.
