Cool mod. The replacement batteries aren't hard to come by where I live though. I can find them at my Wal-Mart. :) A buddy of mine actually replaced his original once, so I already knew of this.

If they are CR2025s, they're also fairly common in my area. In fact, my Timex watches have used them (I recently had to replace one the other day with a spare I had lying around) as well as a couple of old organizer-type devices or calculators that I used to use.

Didja know that if you save the game three times while the batter is pretty much out and you can't save like normal, it will still save?  The first save does nothing, the second make a save file (corrupted), the third makes a complete save file.  Weird.  But true.  Maybe I should make a video of it in action?

Though, most likely because my battery had some juice left.

I'd like to see this tried with the battery removed.

Sweet.  I have a Pokemon Blue that refuses to save, and an Emerald that loses the save data as soon as I take it out of the Gameboy.  (Although the Emerald is a Chinese hacked version.)

The Game is only a demo, the code that allows one to win hasn't been done.
