Heh nothing personal kid
>>59133946My yellow version still has energy in the battery.
>>59133959Is it original? Then again gen 1 batteries last way longer than gen 2. My Blue has a replaced battery though but not sure if it had drained or was a precaution.But my copy of Donkey Kong Land still has the original battery and it works 30 years later.
>>59133962The issue is not within the battery in use. Many games including NES ones used batteries to keep save files stored in them. The reason why Gen 2 is very prone to save loss is due to the Real Time Clock feature. That clock is always running and that burns through the battery so it runs out in a much faster rate than the other games that simply power the board with the bare minimum, lasting for decades. Gen 1 games never had such issue because Gen 1 doesnt have a clock running so your 1999 straight from the factory batteries should hold strong still.
>>59134091I know that's why. But still surprising that Yellow especially with an original battery would still save considering it used a CR1616 rather than CR2025 like Red and Blue. Meaning Yellow's battery only has 1/3rd of the charge as Red and Blue.
>>59134099True, Yellow's battery is smaller capacity but the power consumption of the cart is so low it barely matters. My friend checked out my Gen 1 carts with a multimeter and had plenty of power still so like 30 or so years and still going!
>>59133962Yep. 2000 Toys'r'us lucky draw, just dumped the cart less than a week ago. Red and blue had dead batteries though.
>>59134129Weird how red and blue are dead despite having 3x the capacity. And my Donkey Kong Land with a CR1616 battery also still saves.Huh maybe the CR1616's Nintendo used were higher quality....
>>59134129>dumped cartDo you think you could post your save online if your Mew is actually legit? I've only ever gotten Gen 1 Mew through the trainer fly glitch, I never had the opportunity at a legit one because I was born in 01. I have a GB Operator and I'd love to have a legit event mew of my own to move into Stadium 2 for permanent storage lol
