Game Boy Game Battery Retainer by HDR (updated)

Описание: While tabbed batteries are pretty cheap, there is still something to be said for using a battery retainer and "off the shelf" batteries. HDR made a mod that you can solder in to your cart and add your own retainer relatively pain free.

Previous iteration of this mod:    • Game Boy Game Battery Retainer (v2)  

This specific unit was provided to me by RGRS and you can grab one of these mods from his shop here: https://retrogamerepairshop.com/colle...

You can DIY this mod as well by ordering FLEX PCBs from oshpark here: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/X...
To DIY these, you need the flex PCBs and the battery retainer listed in the notes of the oshpark project.

Need assistance troubleshooting? I don't offer one on one tech support but you can try self-help with the wiki: https://gameboy.github.io/
If you need more help than that, I'd recommend joining one of the many discord servers linked there and posting in the various troubleshooting channels. I do not respond to emails or DMs with troubleshooting requests.

I have enabled monetization on my channel to help offset my costs for my videos. I highly recommend using adblock if you think the ads are too intrusive (ublock origin). If you'd like to support me directly, I've created a ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/makho
