congratz man enjoy!

I'm going to look so hipster on public transport now

You could sell that thing for like 40 bucks. ;)

Game-boys and old Nokia's last longer than most things in existence :)

awesome fix, brings back some good memories

What was wrong with it?

I had to solder one connection together had to be very steady…like extremely steady not to solder any other connections and baaam connection sealed and reconnected and works perfectly :D

Good job, want to meet me for a link cable battle? Lol. Brings me old memories, I'm going to look for mine now and use it in the bus.

Link cable battle hahaha now its all wifi and stuff how things changed :o I'm trying to look for my link so when I can start to trade to get all Blue/Red/Yellow 151 pokemon or 150 can't remember if you can catch mewtwo in those games

Well link cable ftw, did ANYONE actually ever get the infra red link to work? I'd stand by that cable

Edit- not for the color, but what ever version they introduced it

I love those classic consoles. Its a pain to replace dead batteries inside cartridges to get saves working though.

I find those batteries hard to replace tbh, especially opening the cartridge i think you need a torx t5 screwdriver or something which I never seem to find in my toolbox!

I always hated it when my battery was low and when I tried to save my game, it turned off.

pain in the arse :| but whats worse the inner battery of the game cartridge itself which contains the the process of actually saving your game once that goes your game resets itself every time you boot

Oh the time I spent playing those games in my youth! Nostalgia is a pain to deal with .

I used to simply use brute force to open the cartridges and put them back together with tape. :f: Silly me..

Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal used it at the title screen for 'Mystery Gift' which basically gave you useless crap.

As for games that used it… Well…

From: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?155041-Which-GBC-games-used-the-infrared-sensor
Bomberman MAX Blue Champion
Bomberman MAX Red Challenger
Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets
Mary-Kate and Ashley: Pocket Planner
Mission Impossible (thanks SparTonberry)
Super Mario Bros DX (combine your high score table with a friend's)
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal (get mystery gifts)
Pokemon TCG (thanks Nionel)
Robopon (technically doesn't - it has its own infrared sensor built into the cart)
Xena: Warrior Princess (supposedly, but I can't find more details online)

So basically it had no use at all and was dropped on the GBA.

Oooh damn, mine doesn't work anymore. :(

Yeah infrared was pretty pointless

I think I might try what you did if I can man up to do it. Don't want to wreck the damn thing.. (what am I saying it's already broken.. but you know what I mean)
