Big thank you to Jon for lending me this extremely weird GameBoy cart! He has had this for a very long time and I have always wanted to make a video on it. Enjoy!

Hey Elliot, I need help. I just opened my Original Nintendo DS, and it isn't opening. When I press the power button, it makes the casual "tch!" noise, but the screen doesn't open, neither the power light. The only light that does light up is the charging light when I plug it in, it might be out of power from all that I know, but you know more about this subject then I do, so please help me if you can!

The -EEPROM- [EPROM] window wasn't exposed in the cartridge. Also, it takes a lot of deliberate environmental exposure to flip even a single bit, since it requires a certain wavelength of UV-C to wipe it effectively.

@AndyLundell 4 жыл бұрын

@PaulFisher 4 жыл бұрын

Minor nit: it’s an EPROM, with a single “E”; the two Es are the “Electronically Erasable” PROM and this one is just…erasable. Your larger point, that it would take more than brief exposure to room light to erase it, is correct.

@@PaulFisher *looks to the EPROM eraser on my left* LOL! It bugs me when I see those mixed up too, and here I am doing it! Uh, yeah: I blame auto-correct. :D It seems my phone has seen me type "EEPROM" enough that it added it to the library and substitutes that for EPROM (almost did it again just now). ...there was a moment when I thought the internal button contact was for putting the cart into programming mode but I quickly realized they would never have made it with DIPs if they made it a proper flash cart. EPROMs were obviously pre-programmed.

@SatoshiMatrix1 3 жыл бұрын

The reason for the size of this cart of course is that it's using off the shelf static RAM and EEPROM chips. For commercial games, Nintendo manufactured custom sized mask roms. In the early 90s when this would have been made, bootlegs would have had no choice but to increase the case of the cartridge. Prototype GameBoy games too, would have looked much like this.

Looking at all those large chips that cartridge may be rather power hungry. It certainly makes sense that the screen faded out the way it did, that's exactly what happens to old LCD screens like that when power is cut.

@Sun-ut9gr 4 жыл бұрын

This thing is freaky! The Toshiba chip is an oldschool EPROM. Your LED lights don't have enough UV output to wipe it, but if you're going to keep opening the thing up then best to cover the window with electrical tape. Looks like those chips are rated for 12.5V too. I wonder what battery life is like with that cart. I also wonder what kind of load that cart is drawing from the Game Boy if it's actually running them at their rated voltage. It can't be healthy for the Game Boy lol
