If Nintendo isn't willing to manufacture these games anymore than I have zero issues with buying aftermarket games simple as that

05:46 That game is Little Nemo: The Dream Master for NES

The "Pokémon Silver" game is a Rom Hack of an amazing game from my childhood called "Little Nemo The Dream Master" for NES. 😊

04:46 - 008 yoshi gravitation, a game totally unplayable without it's own gyroscope ;D

Take into account that there is no Real Time Clock (RTC) module for Pokémon games (Emerald, Gold and Silver) in this carts. You need to set time manually and time only counts when playing.

I loved these cartridges as a kid! They always surprised you with some decent romhacks.

What I want to know is why these multi carts don't simply have every Game Boy game ever made on them. They are clearly not bothered about copyright laws, and the entire library for the original Game Boy is less than 200MB. They wouldn't be able to make them fast enough to keep up with the demand.

trip world is one of my faves, so much fun, and the music is outstanding

By coincidence ,I recently bought the 61 in 1 cartridge,since my Marioland 2 didnt save anymore.Its amazing how many great Games there are.I was worried,I get scammed,but it's Just great!!!

When I was younger my mom had to go to the Philippines for work...she brought me and my brother back these carts... one was 120 in 1 like this and the other was a 92 in 1....Both batteries were dead so we couldnt play the Advanced games on them (each cart had 4 and 2 GBA games on them) The 120 in 1 had Ruby, Saph, and Em and another...and the 92 had Ruby and Saph... But alas they didnt save. But it was awesome because my mom just got them on some street market haha. I still have them and they still work and I will probs replace the battery on them soon.

The battery in the cartridge doesn't have to be an indicator that a game can keep saves. Many GBA cartridges no longer use SRAM to save, instead they use Flash Rom or EEPROM, which doesn't require a continuous current. Third generation pokemon games have a battery in them to keep the internal clock running, whilst being able to keep saves without it.

"Right down in that corner is spud's adventure which is a really expensive game" >points to what is clearly "Castlvania: The Adventure" box art

100-in-1 carts are always so hilarious.

I love multi carts. I have 4 of them. My first one I bought in Spain 22 years ago on a holiday.

Surprisingly, I have an aftermarket all in one that works great! It has most of the Mario and Wario titles for GBA and all of them work flawlessly

I see you've discovered Pocket Monster. My favourite mess of a romhack! As far as I know, it's quite possibility a romhack *of a romhack*. I'll post some more info in a minute!

I like how he said WE are gonna do it it made me feel really involved and I felt like I had my own Gameboy like that lol wish I did!

i bought a copy of trip world off ebay for 5.91nzd and it never worked on my gba sp only worked on my gbc and gbp

Actually, Pokemon Emerald save file corruption is because it wasn't saved correctly or it's save file was pasted incorrectly. In the gen 3 pokemon games, battery running dry only disables time-based events, and doesn't erase the save file.

On the 120 Gameboy cartridge pressing, L + R will popup a menu where you can restart the game or enable other hidden extra settings.

On that last game, try to clean the board with alcohol, I bought a megaman xtreme from ali express and didn't work until I clean all the pins from the chips with alcohol.

By the the way, on Gameboy Advance SP (dont know if its just SP or GB thing in general), you can soft restart it by pressing Start + Select + A + B simultaneously. (I know that for trying to catch Mewtwo without use of Master ball. :D)

Well you can usually finagle the cart into connecting properly if you pop it in & out a lot. Unfortunately that's the chance you take with bootleg carts, but they usually are not defective. They just need to get seated in the right way. Sometimes putting the chip into a different cart housing helps.

Oh my god I haven’t heard that tune in so long silver is little nemo the dream master I loved that game on the nes wow nostalgia overload lol

Oh man, I played the "Pokemon Gold" before - It's been 10 years since I've seen this! Yeah we had these cartridges all over here in Malaysia. Some were awful but some were really really good and worked well.

These multicarts are great and all but I would still recommend a flash cart like the ez flash omega (or whatever new version they're on now) yeah they're like $50 but you don't have to deal with the uncertainty of it working or the quality of the games on it or even if it's the real game or not.

Truly love your vids, my old Thrift store used to always sell some kind of GB or GBA game / console for a couple dollars You make me cheerish what i got

"Hopefully it will work first time, NOPE". so funny

I saw this and ordered a 61 in 1 cartridge immediately,Thank you Retro Future🙂.And I also subbed!

That gameboy 61 in 1 multi cart might only have 1 save at a time. So let's say you play mario 2 like you did then you play another game that saves it may over write the mario 2 save with the other games save. At least that's what happend to me with one of my multi carts

Just started watching yesterday and im addicted I subbed instantly

You do know that you can fit gb games or gbc games to the screen by pressing the L or R bumper

That pokemon hack With The mushrooms is Dream Master Little NEMO

You should try the two that work on the various Gameboys and on your GB Boy Colour.

@6:08 that is a Sandshrew!!

I know that this video is a year old but I would like to point out that the only time that the battery affects the save file in a Pokémon game is in the second generation of Pokémon games. I own a copy of each Generation 3 title for the GBA all of the batteries have run dry but the games still continue to save. All that is affected is the clock based events such as berry growing and the tides in shoal cave.

im intrested in the 61 in 1, will it work ok on my gameboy pocket? most of the options on eBay only state GBC

In the second cart, if you save in more than one game, does it keep all of the save files? On the NES multicarts, typically the battery can only hold a save for one game at a time; if you save in another or play an SRAM game, it overrides the previous save. Just something to check on if you plan to play and save in multiple games.

I get the feeling that the GBA cart's shell was probably farmed from a legit game.

you can change the colors of a gameboy screen if you press different button combos on the startup screen

Great video, Elio :) I was really hoping the TRIP game would work so I could go and buy it XD

When will Elliot's multi cart addiction stop? We will die from all the cheap plastic fumes if he doesn't get help

I have the 369 in 1 GBA "no repeat" which is a right fib cos several games are repeated but under different names, cost about a tenner and I got it for my original DS and works brilliantly too, no laggies or fasties, good sound and display and just the ticket as I let my daughters use it when visiting or travelling. Only nause being it only runs on one screen as its in GBA mode but I got told the DS game card of the same sort also only uses one screen. The DS saved my daughter's sanity when she was working over in Sark at the big hotel there, not much to do so 369 games did help her while the quiet evenings away :D

would it be better with the coregrafx, or does it add core grafx function to the base pc-engnie? I'm not clear on the delineation/compatibility between the generations of pc-engine

Does anyone know if the multi carts are compatible with the DMG? I've been told that some gbc carts work on the original but I couldn't find anything associated with the multi carts. I have a very limited collection of games for my DMG and wanted something like this 61 in 1 Any help or advise would be much appreciated

Will the 61in1 work on a original DMG? I seen something similar work on a GB pocket. Thanks.

Pausing at 3:13 the battery in GBA pokemon is for the clock if the battery in the fake gba cart is for saving then it is using the old style of save data storage

I just wanted to make a correction, most GBA games don't need a battery to keep saves but time. They got an RTC (Real Time Clock) chip so games like Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire can keep track of time for timed events like growing berries. If the battery runs dry you can still save but those timed events won't work and you'll have to change the battery. Very nice video though!

Loved the video Elliot! A nice change a pace!

it's like you just saw the 61 in 1 carts for the first time, they have been around for quite some time

I had a lot of these cartridges since it was actually hard to find an original GBA game where I come from, haha. One even had the complete Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond and a Kirby game complete with more than 100 Gameboy titles. Good times

Ebay has a Super 16 in 1 with Pokemon RBY and the trading card game with GBC's pinball, gold, silver, and 3 Zeldas

Ordered one of those blue carts. Significantly cheaper than my EverDrive X5 and has pretty much all the games I'd play regularly anyway. Thanks for the tip Elliot!

Pokémon on gba used the battery for time based events not saving. That was only used for the gb games

Does the 61-in-1 cart work with the DMG and GameBoy pocket?

Hey what's you're little screwdrivers toolbox ? It seems pretty cool !

For the 61 in 1 cart, how you boot up the game. I have same one but won't load a game

Hi. I have both games. 61 in 1 and 108 in 1. but both games don't work properly. either something is wrong with the hardware or with the programming. can you fix this?

A few of the individual cartridges i have of pokemon will erase your saves if you accidentally bump the cartridge too much, i think its due to the battery not being soldered in.

Can you try the 61 in 1 on the GB BOY colour? I cant get multi carts to work on it usually

Please I need an answer,Can I stretch the screen on the 61 in 1 cartridge??

Please help me my game boy color will power on then turn off what is wrong with it

The second he, the gba one is a modded little nemo where you are in your frog suit

5:00 this game is a pirate original , they even leave the debug mode by pressing start or select I do not remember for sure, you can freely travel all the levels inadvisable :D haha

Now the fun begins on that Trip World clone cartridge! You gotta make a video of trying to get it to work. Give it the eraser trick on the contacts, test for continuity between the contacts and the chips, etc. You can't give up that easily! :)

Is the battery easy to fix for the "120 in one" cartridge

Does the blue multicart play on the Gameboy pocket? Thanks

HI. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. WHATS THE NAME OF YOUR COOL TOOL SET YOU USE AT 2:55 ??? THANX ANYBODY KNOWLEDGABLE PLEASE REPLY SOON.

Oh i have 2 of those gbc variants as well. One containing shantae

Had to order one. Good price to give it a go.

I have after market ones that dont have the battery and save fine and berries still grow so they is a way around it

Where did you get the 120 in 1? I cannot find it and it surely looks like a good nes bootleg compilation cartridge

5:50 That is Little nemo - Dream master, there is an anime movie about it and love it, but yeah a rom hack lol

This one is crazy because the roms run so smooth

I really love some of these carts. There's some of the funniest games on them. I don't mind some of the repro-carts. I can't say I'd suggest someone buy one if you are trying play something like pokemon and have a reliable save file but it's nice when you want to play a game which costs over $500 for a cart. (looking at you, Shantae) I have a flash cart but having an individual cart for a game just feels special.

Just an important heads-up about any of those aftermarket/pirated/multi-cart games: most of them are made on the cheap with 3.3v parts, which isn't a problem at all on the GBA since that one uses 3.3v for it's power and signal to the cartridge, but when you go into GB/GBC mode, the console works with 5v on the cartridge (and so do the original older consoles of course). This now is a problem for the console tho, since the way they deal with that 5v to 3.3v difference might not be ideal at all, and might just overload the data pins on the console. Sometimes they might (will) glitch a lot more, and sometimes it can even damage the console over time. It's definitely not a great option to use always. That also is true for other retro consoles like the Master System, NES/Famicon Game Gear and some others too. Flash carts tho, are usually a different story (but, crappier ones might be made without the proper level translators and such). Also: no I'm not the one that sent the carts!

The link isn’t working for the 61 in 1 cartridge for some reason. Does anyone know why?

No joke I have the same exact blue cartridge that came with a Japanese copy of Pokémon red I bought a few years back.

I also have the 61 in 1 cart. The only issue i have is Castlevania 2 is actually a Kirby game

Oh I have this! I tried to trade it in when I was younger and the counter guy advised me to hold on to it . I'm looking for it now I know it's around here somewhere,

I recently bought this game from eBay but it seems like the save battery isn't working kind of defeats the purpose of the cart

Does the 61 in 1 also work on original gameboy or only gameboy color?

I got this same game cart 61 in 1 from my friend with a gbc for $20 but mine does say Nintendo gameboy not just game

Info: Pokemon Gold seems to be an original game. Using assets from the game called “Athena” made by SNK. And they seem to use Konami’s sound engine

I'm going to be honest i've been dealing with aftermarket GB(A) and DS games for a few years now cause who wants to pay out the ass for that stuff you probably just got a doa they are not common but still happen every now and then and 9/10 times you can message the people back and they will send a replacement at least in my experience they have but take it for what you will

The Pikachu game (and maybe the others) was an 'official' Chinese bootleg. Many games were made using Nintendo IPs in China, some actually really good. These bootlegs were pretty much the only option in China. They weren't exactly endorsed by Nintendo, but they were real games that were sold to the public.

you have inspired me to collect nintendo hand held consoles lol.. I have a few DS, DSXL and 3ds, 3dsxl 3ds xl (new) but don't have GBA.... Amazon her goes my stimulus check lol

A welcome return to the top down style. However both style work well!

The one that's 5 minutes in is Little Nemo with a Pikachu sprite hack. I had another game I downloaded just like that. I was trying to download Pokémon Yellow and instead got a hacked game with the same name. It was a damn good game tho.. it was a Felix the Cat game but with (again) Pikachu was the main sprite. It was kinda cute. Pikachu would get powerups, 1st power up was like a punching glove gun.. 2nd Car that shot out honking noises 3rd was an airplane 4th was a PikaTANK.. I thought it was super fun.

That's pikachus most op form one shotting everything.

Only thing I would question... Would buy a cartridge where reads: 35640000 in 1 mayro, pokyman, zeda, sonec and all of you favoritegame fun and happy?

I recently brought some cheap repro gbc games, only because my dad keeps misplacing or losing the ones I either got him or lent him.

Elliot ... does the 60in1 work on a DMG please ???

Cool episode. Can you make more handheld coop games. Full walkthrough. Like GB double dragon 2, Balloon Kid etc. No one ever done that... So we see both screens full play through.

I think the best Game Boy is the DS Lite, and if you pop in a DS or GBA Flash Cartridge in it you can play basically anything that's pre joysticks

Polar tuvo uno de esos en su niñez. Los vendían en el tianguis de mi cuadra y eran como los tetéis de 999 juegos en 1 (todos iguales)

That game named pokemon gold on NES, it has a cheat on it. If you press start, you can make the character freeze but you can still move it through the entire stage and additionally, if you press starz and then press select, you can move to the next level instantly. I beat this game with by using this cheat.

I have that pokemon gold game on my pirated cartridge as well. The person who sold the cartridge and the GBA sp said that it had all the pokemon games. However there was no battery so the ONLY pokemon rom hack game that was on there didn't save.

There’s a 108 one too should I get the 61 or 108 cart ?
