I have super mario 3 and zelda: oracle of seasons for gameboy and gbc, neither of which work. I've tried rubbing alcohol. Any ideas on how to get these to work?
Re: Gameboy games that don't work.
Did you try it on differant consoles?
If not, the carts might be shot.

Re: Gameboy games that don't work.
I've tried oracle on numerous gameboys, and different kinds too (gbc/gba/sp). I'll try with wario land tomorrow, and super gameboy.
and how do they break, exactly? they seem like they wouldn't just randomly stop working.

Re: Gameboy games that don't work.
Yeah, I figured that. I'd like to get a screwdriver and new battery, but that would be more expensive then the game itself. I'll need one eventually so I'll probably just buy one at/after the MGC.joeyjoe9876 wrote:most likely a dead battery for that

Take an eraser and gently rub it against the contacts.

Re: Gameboy games that don't work.
Ive sen this before, and I think its the memory bank switch that fails, because every one Ive seen, the nintendo logo is still there on boot- up.
