Pocket Monsters Ruby & Sapphire Save Files

I'm doing some research for the Cutting Room Floor and needed to access content fairly late in the Japanese version of Ruby or Sapphire, but I haven't been able to find any save files and I don't have time to play through the game properly. I wanted to ask if anyone has any save files or knows where...

Re: Famicom Disk System Springs

I don't know what type of springs and what sizes you need, but you could try your luck with something like this... m m Find something close to what you need, then cut/bend/whatever to get it to work. Something like those might work, but $10 is pretty expensive when I'm only looking to replace 3 or ...

Re: What is the Problem with NES Carts and the Famicom GPM-0

Then it could lead to issues like the Game Genie where it made the pins a little loose with a lot of use. Yeah, I figured that could be a potential problem. I'll probably only use it until I replace the pins in my NES. I will state that it has the same thickness as the only pirate cart I own. This ...

Famicom Disk System Springs

About a year ago, I got a mis-calibrated FDS. I attempted to repair it, but I was unable to do so at the time. I recently too another crack at it, and succeeded, but all the springs are missing. Does anyone have any idea where I can get replacement springs? A homebrew solution is fine if you have an...

NES Game Saver

I would like to ask if there is any device that will let you save your game state on the NES and/or Famicom. This question comes from necessity; there are a number of long games for the NES that don't have any type of resume system, which means if I have to turn off the system or it freezes, then I ...

Re: Hot Air Soldering

This was found using in google: SMT-1160 manual m That may answer it. The back appears to be the plug for an anti-kink vacuum hose attachment addon. Thanks. The nozzle on the rear seems to be for nitrogen which will produce higher quality solder joints. I still don't know what the lower dial on the...

Hot Air Soldering

I recently picked up a hot air soldering system for a thrift shop, as it is something that I will probably use, and it was cheap enough to warrant the purchase. My only problem is that it didn't come with any instructions, so I'm not sure how to use it properly. I've seen some videos showing the act...

Re: PAL-Optimised NES Games

I had an ntsc batman cart that I played on a pal console and I noticed that the music was too slow but I couldn't tell if the gameplay was also slower than my pal cart. Maybe because the music was slower that I also thought the gameplay was slower but apparently not. I just used Nestopia to check a...

Most of the time that is the case; the reason I started this thread was to find the exceptions.

Re: PAL-Optimised NES Games

This is so confusing Is an ntsc game played on a pal console slower than the pal game on a pal console? To the best of my understanding, most NES games were designed to run on NTSC hardware at 60Hz and weren't changed for the PAL release. So what you get is the same game that runs at normal speed o...
