Weekend project: replace the battery on my Pokemon Yellow cartridge so it can Save again

I had to buy a Gamebit screwdriver, CR2025 batteries and soldering kit (first time soldering anything, wish me luck)

All in all cost me less than $50

Made using /nfs gallery action

Oh fuck yes I never thought this could be done. I racked up over 900 hours on my Pokémon Gold cartridge spending summers at my Oma and Opa’s in Oklahoma. 

I wore the dead battery as a badge of honor but tbh deep down inside I miss my Pokémon.

It's possible! I'm using it as an entry-level project to get started with electronics - so we can start tinkering with cool stuff when my kids are big enough
