Maybe the internal battery died. I honestly recommend you look at GBC style handhelds or if you like the GBA style, Anbernic made one that looks insanely close

Maybe the internal battery died. I honestly recommend you look at GBC style handhelds or if you like the GBA style, Anbernic made one that looks insanely close to a GBA.
There also a craze of DS style emulators popping up. They all give you comfort knowing that your saves will be fine forever if you back them up, even if the device dies.
- firefax 5mo agoYeah to be clear, I replaced the internal battery. I don't know if the issue is that it isn't seated properly, it was working for a spell. But I can't solder and don't want my first project to be a 1st gen copy of Pokemon. Anyways, I just want a "known good" emulator for the game boy. It could be a GBA emulator since that's backwards compatible, but I just want something simple to play Pokémon. To be clear I was weirded out because an emulated copy glitched out, not the physical one. Physical one just had a battery issue.
- giancarlostoro 5mo agomGBA is not bad, runs on any OS. There's also one for Mac, but I forget the name.
- firefax 5mo agothank you for the suggestion. i value open source over MacOS compatibility, I can spin up a VM if needed.
