>mfw I found my old white+grey GBA and Crystal in my closet that still works after. 15 years when saving every 15 minutes
>Crystal cartridge that can still hold a save
I call bullshit.
how's the internal battery in Crystal? Enjoy your non-stop restarting from scratch

No sir. I try again tomorrow morning, but as of tonight, went off time of 1, 15, 30 minute and 1 hour interval s. Each time saving twice b4 I switched off. So far, it's carrying saves.

It's holding up so far, actually. Not gunna pretend to understand how.
At one point, it said save file was corrupted. I backed out and hit Continue again and it's worked fine since.
>This falls into the category of technically plausible, as the battery is pretty easy to replace.
But you want us to believe a 16 year old CR2025 is still working properly?

Again, dunno how to explain it. But as of last save, 20 minutes ago and rebooting immediately just to check, everything carried over.
I'll try again tomorrow morning before I go to work real quick. After bout 2 hrs tho, saves applenty, it's work in.
Found this, it's the 2003 model. Showed it to mummy and she said I should throw it away. I'm not speaking to mummy anymore.

but can you find the charger?

I have two Crystals and they both still save.
My Gold, however, doesn't.

Oh well, never really felt like playing lg again anyway. Also my red's battery still works but yellow wiped my save and I don't have the energy to go back and replay.

Found my old SP, ordering a USB charger for a buck

>>27137715
I kept the charger all these years hoping I'd find it
OP may be telling the truth. I have a Crystal cart that I bought used 10 years ago that still saves. Looking through the cart, it looks like the original battery too. But the clock is running slow ingame last I checked, so it'll probably die any day, rip.
I kinda wanna find my SP now, I remember burning holes into the part that connects the screen to the main part. I feel like I did it cause I was an edgy kid.
