#gbc #pokemon crystal repro cartridge glitch

[LITTLE]

That's what happens when a game is NOT officially built by Nintendo.

At least it saves. Not all repro carts save

[icey_projects]

When gb games where made they used read only memory(ROM) the game was written to this and it can never be rewritten, the save was saved to battery backed SRAM, for some games as in gen2 and 3 pokemon the battery also controlled a real time clock. The reason that the repros "freeze" when you save is to get the game to save the original rom was patched so that instead of saving to the SRAM it instead writes the save file to the ROM itself (which in repros is now flash memory and can be rewriiten) thus while you are writting to the flash the game cannot read from it thus the game will freeze in its current state until the writing of the save file is complete and it can read data from the flash again.

High quality reproductions created by somebody who understands the mechanics of these cards can make ones that can trade, have total game and stadium functionality, and can even have batteries. They are very costly to make, but since the batteries can be taken out with a screwdriver and not lose the save, they are far superior.

My green pokemon repro in English is the same, it has no battery and when saving it freezes for a few seconds and when I put it in pokemon stadium 1 and 2 with the transer pack I get save file not found because the repro cartridge has no battery

[CrazyDavePlants]

Guys it’s my favorite game, pock mun!

[patrickphelan]

to save costs, most reproduction games dont inculde the save battery and/or sram chip, so the game saves directly to the flash memory the game is stored on, hence the pause.

[horatiohornblower]

I have the exact same reproduction cartridge of crystal! And yes it does that for me too.

[Shiny]

Because the game is running off of less save ram

[tobiaswehner]

It does that because the whole Rom gets saved that's why the sound and Rom freezes

[robmalcolm]

Pac-Man crystal is what that voice said.

[CarNewb]

its happening cos the repro is saving inside the rom, it doesnt have the chip for extra saving. thats why is it also stopps for sec to save the progress

[thehypenime]

Old but gold, good old memories, and still my num.1 fav game and console game boy sp my child hood legendary gaming ever

[rodrigomontalvo]

Reproduction carts for the first 3 gens will always do that. Not sure why.

[JoseMorales-miym]

Needed a moment of silence “N**** we made it!!!!”

[noambarazani]

It’s because it saves on the rom chip and not the save chip so it stops the game saves and starts it

[ferminsaurio]

I think it's something normal in reproductions. My crystal and emerald repro do the same

[TranerVincent]

The repos also don’t save your game when you change boxes or after the credits of the game, so you’ll always have to hard save before you’re done playing.

[makavelithedon]

Nah, it just took a screenshot so it can remember where you saved

[rawxpain]

Bruh anyone notice the 86 Pokémon on a 36 min save?
