Some legit GBA carts do have batteries. The colored plastic ring is to prevent the tab on the one side from accidentally shorting to side of the battery.
Oh yeah, I know about GBA batteries (I have those Metroid and Castlevania carts). The one in my bootleg is different though. It's very brightly colored, the surrounding ring feels more "squishy", and it feels like it's barely secured into place.
Anyway, I bought another (hopefully legit!) copy of Metal Slug.
One of my girlfriends best friends passed away this morning. He was a great guy. He looked just like the 10th Doctor from Doctor Who, played the fiddle professionally, and if anyone wanted a picture with him, he would stop what he was doing for it. I was with him once at a Crackerbarrel and two kids walked up to him asking if they could take a picture with the Doctor. He told them he wasnt David Tennant, and they said that they didnt min, so he cracked a big goofy smile.

Didyou try the other tests? Did it have the numbers indented (not printed, but like a recession in it) into the label, did a google search of the games code number bring up metal slug, and does it have Nintendo printed above the contacts at the bottom of the board (you should be able to see it even without opening the cart if you get the right angle)? I ask ebcause I have some of those yellow bordered batteries myself, ordered from ebay for replacements, and I wondered if that could be why they're in there.

Sounded like a cool guy. My condolences.

No, it doesn't contract at all so there's no bile in my system when I need to digest fat. From what I've been told eating any fats will be very difficult for a couple of months.

That's too bad. Otherwise I would've recommended a gallbladder / liver flush.
But if the gallbladder doesn't contract, then it's of no use...
Ask why it doesn't contract, and see if there are other less invasive solutions before opting for surgery...

I'd like to avoid an invasive procedure if I could but it's completely hereditary; my mother and grandmother both have had severe gastrointestinal issues. My mom tried to put off the surgery when her's wouldn't contract but it ended up just messing up her digestive system more. It sucks because I'm all about improving my health without pills or procedures but I'm afraid I'll just end up worse in the long run if I don't get it removed.
