in addition to the reflowing, an ultrasonic cleaner might help clean some of the crud out that you can't see... all in all, you are doing God's work here saving these old games.

I have the same issue with a Pokémon Crystal I’m restoring. It reads the game and then white screens! I found that if you put it in a GBA and apply down pressure to it, it works… as long as you hold the push the cart the entire time.

@PlutoPebble

Thank you I love seeing damaged games back to life.

Dude did you order a batch of games from Fukushima Prefecture? Lol looks like they were all in salt water

Maybe could you do a video on how you make the stickers, or even a short? Like the whole process?

@kyky121911

Like i know those ones where in terrible shape but for the fun of it i would of tried to see if i could get them working again before tossing them in the bin

@logothaironsides2942

That looks like a box of games that someone's mum put in the shed when they moved out. Not me, but I can see how I might have dome that if my adult child had them taking up space in a room they no longer live in. One of those cartridges looks like it has a snail track where a snail ate through the paper. Note to future mums, put them in a big sealed plastic bag too. :D

As far as the reflow goes, I'd try a hot air rework station and liquid solder, desolder and clean with alcohol before reworking the board

I have a strange issue. My DK1 & 2 didn't save, I replaced the batteries. They save again. But now the game especialky DK1 crashes when playing the sound gets weird and then it reboots the game. I then try the game on a GBA SP and a Super Game Boy and It works fine. But on a Classic Gameboy it keeps doing it. I was able to play almost to the end of the 2nd world without issuea. I'm really clueless what I did wrong?

Sixty nine game boy games you say?

Poor games, they must have been hit by the wave of explosive diarrhoea.

I agree, Elon is hilarious period. I'm doubtful of his true intentions with buying Twitter, but the whole situation, especially the reactions from all sides, is still hilarious
