Hey Elliot, I need help. I just opened my Original Nintendo DS, and it isn't opening. When I press the power button, it makes the casual "tch!" noise, but the screen doesn't open, neither the power light. The only light that does light up is the charging light when I plug it in, it might be out of power from all that I know, but you know more about this subject then I do, so please help me if you can!

windowed eproms can only be erased by having the right UV wavelength, and a lot of it. under your room lights for an hour won't do anything. In direct sunlight for a day, probably will. ;)

@thesillyhatday

Can even take weeks in the sun.

Fun fact: if the eeprom wouldn’t be wiped by being in the light, it needs to be under a specific frequency of uv light with a powerful enough light.

That chunky long cartridge is a thing of beauty. As a collector of bootleg games I'd love to own one of those myself!

The -EEPROM- [EPROM] window wasn't exposed in the cartridge. Also, it takes a lot of deliberate environmental exposure to flip even a single bit, since it requires a certain wavelength of UV-C to wipe it effectively.

Minor nit: it’s an EPROM, with a single “E”; the two Es are the “Electronically Erasable” PROM and this one is just…erasable. Your larger point, that it would take more than brief exposure to room light to erase it, is correct.

Uh, yeah: I blame auto-correct. :D It seems my phone has seen me type "EEPROM" enough that it added it to the library and substitutes that for EPROM (almost did it again just now). ...there was a moment when I thought the internal button contact was for putting the cart into programming mode but I quickly realized they would never have made it with DIPs if they made it a proper flash cart. EPROMs were obviously pre-programmed.

Oh man, I've been longing for a video like this! Just wish it was longer, felt a little short for such a long topic.

I'd imagine it was big like that due to it being cheaper and easy to use large chips, which I think would also use quite a bit more power. I'd also imagine they removed the reset button to save costs.

They likely needed a lot of eeproms just to fit as many games as they did.

Make it long, left handed and has two screens

"Tetris Kitty F1 Racer" I would love to try this game!

A lot of these carts have repeated games, but back in the 90's i had this one where all the repeated games were modified with cheats built into them. For example some of them had infinite lives or infinite energy bars

Love these retro gameboy videos keep it up man :D

woow that cartrige may be the longest gameboy cartrige. Its good to see that :) and also best quality XD

The quality was so extrenely high that it overflowed into low quality. whoops

I never understood why multi-carts felt the need to inflate the number of games. Thanks for posting all the videos, by the way. You taught me how to fix GB screens.

That you have that one with a box is really cool. Multi Game Carts from the '90 ow men... i had some of them back at the day. Even one with the little rubber reset button 🤣

I once had a FM radio cartridge for my Game Boy back in the mid 90s (still have it though) and it too already peeked out a lot from the upper part of the game boy but oh boy... THIS cartridge here is even longer.

after seeing your gba sp, now i miss mine.. that thing was great being backlit and all.. ahhh bring back memories ❤️

Congrats on 300k!

Hey Elliott 👋. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and even watch them to help me fix my gameboy. I have a suggestion for another video. How about you try to install louder speakers into the gameboy. Not as a serious project. Just a funny craft to do! Thanks for entertaining the Community!

i remember getting one of those 2000 in 1 cartridges. It was a gameboy advance cartridge and was super hyped until i realized it didn't save games at all. so i played the same lvls over and over again in my summer vacation. Obviously disappointed back than but now i kinda hold it as a good memory. ^^

Bro really like your work keep the grind

The reason for the size of this cart of course is that it's using off the shelf static RAM and EEPROM chips. For commercial games, Nintendo manufactured custom sized mask roms. In the early 90s when this would have been made, bootlegs would have had no choice but to increase the case of the cartridge. Prototype GameBoy games too, would have looked much like this.

I have a 20 in 1 that I bought in the early ‘90s (all good games, worked perfectly) and it had a little physical push button on the cart to reset the game. I was always afraid to accidentally push it while playing.

"Long Long Long Long Long..." So many puns!

Is long at the start a reference of the LongBoy, The LongBoy Game and the man. The myth. The Legend. Long Jon

Yooo i love ur channel its sooo cool and i love gameboys too :) hope you have a good day ;D

Hilton: New year, new memories to be made. 😁 Ain't that a great ad

4 SCREEN DS LITE AND ALL THE SCREENS ALL FOLD INTO THE SAME FORMAT BUT THICKER so basically top one folds down, bottom one folds up and the whole things folds in half from the back this would be amazing 😂

Love the new on air sign :D

1200 games in one!! Amazing!! Soooo... a cartridge with 10 games and lots and lots of repeats with different names :) Too bad it doesn't come with a magnifying glass for the gamelist pamphlet.

"It's been a long time since I made a video... about a week." I didn't notice. Carry on though, your content just gets better

I really need a replacement game boy pocket screen but I can’t find one anywhere could you point me in the right direction?

I actually have this exact card, just with the sticker saying 1300 in 1, literally found that in the stuff my fathers' neighbors wanted to through away when they moved out and just couldn't let it go to the trash!

The Longboy now has another long friend

Bought a very similar cartridge on holiay in Ibiza, Spain back in the early 90's.

Looking at all those large chips that cartridge may be rather power hungry. It certainly makes sense that the screen faded out the way it did, that's exactly what happens to old LCD screens like that when power is cut.

i bought something like that in thailand. i guess 60 in 1. 8 different games i think were in. the rest was the repeated under differnt names, but the cartridge always had worked perfectly!

"Long John" IM DYING RIGHT NOWWWWWWWWW

I once owed a Japanese cartridge for Gameboy with around 100 games, at around age 12, took it to a friends house and it magically disapeared

You find the most unique things very awesome

0:02 God these puns. God dammit Elliot.

Eliot’s face when he saw the interior of the cartridge!!!!🤣🤣🤣

I wanna see this even longer in a game genie. 😂😂

Hah my Aunt used to own a cart like that. No clue where it is now.

10:49 This should have been the thumbnail picture... One happy long chappie.👌

Like Father like son lol keep it going!!! Amazing content!!!

> extremely rare cartridge > blows in it > recognizes the EPROM window > continues working with the window uncovered

Damn boi! That boi is long! Thats a long ass boi!

I find it neat that a modern flash cart like the ez flash junior has a reset button too.

Mate, you're about to break the matrix

I got a 32 in 1 cartridge which contains 14 individual games.. plays every game fine without problems.

There were/are catriges, way back in the 90s, where that reset button were available for "in 1" games. Maybe they ddint put it in to lower costs.

me: if someone lends you something to test what would you do? The Retro Future: oh nothing much I would just take it apart in an attempt to play it

Who didn't dream of playing "Michael Fighter" when they were a kid!! 😂

Elliot you've done it again. Cheers! PS: More Tom Nook making fun of your jokes please.

So Looooooooooong John made the looooooooooong GB cartridges

"That's not supposed to be exposed. It should be covered" *continues to leave exposed rom chip under the light while cleaning with isopropyl*

I've had some cartridges like that which only work on some consoles. I actually had the most luck on my GB Player of all things!

i did by one in second hand cald "High K 9M Super 181 In 1" with a reset button on the topp near the Game mark butt it only works in the orginal Gameboy not in any other in them the sprite dont sem to work in the other syster

The most logical option is the GBA SP, either AGS-001 or 101, since the GBA runs almost all games from the lineup and the SP has built-in light when you need. 001 is cheaper and no backlight just front one but it beats the 101 on direct sunlight visibility by a lot, the front light works when you need but it's just there, nothing special. 101 if you play more on the shade or at night tho, and no light source on you like a reading light. People make all the dumb hassle nowadays about the non-lit Game Boys like "how did we even survive playing this!!" and forget that both reading lights were a thing and kids went out and played on the sun. The same still applies nowadays anyway so you can really take your pick on that. Also: the AGS-101 screen has exaggerated colors compared to the older ones, which does show on games made before it, they look heavily oversaturated. Some newer games had selectable color levels so it works well on any. Some might prefer it, I hated so kept the 001. Form factor is important tho, I never liked the original GBA's form factor, it feels too small on my hands, and ironically the SP feels better, but that's entirely personal. They all can be modded too if that's your thing, compensating lack of lighting. The only one I've not played yet is the original DMG Game Boy, but I can say that the black and white screen of the Pocket looks great, although battery life sucks horribly on that (I use rechargeable ones on all of them, same quality cells all around, backlit modded GBC runs for 13 hours, normal GBC for like 20+, and the pocket.... 5h).

"Briiiiiiiliant good job elliottttt"

him: it wont work on this one! *gets another gameboy, then another, then has like 7 gameboys on the table*

Seeing my boy on air sign fully recovered Made me happy

EPROM is probably fine because you have to expose it to UV for some time to wipe it. It isn’t instant, but good to get a sticker over the window anyway to be on the safe side

Please add a game genie and a nuby speaker to your longboy. Back in the dark ages that was the only way we had to longboy.

Now that’s something to compete with my cat!

"We are fans of accessories that happen to be elongated." Eliot from the retro future 2020

When he said "long" - I felt that.

This thing is freaky! The Toshiba chip is an oldschool EPROM. Your LED lights don't have enough UV output to wipe it, but if you're going to keep opening the thing up then best to cover the window with electrical tape. Looks like those chips are rated for 12.5V too. I wonder what battery life is like with that cart. I also wonder what kind of load that cart is drawing from the Game Boy if it's actually running them at their rated voltage. It can't be healthy for the Game Boy lol

“It’s why his GameBoy Cartridge is so big...It’s full of secrets”

That hand looks like the one used on the album Sign in Please by Autograph.

Love the content Elliot! You could go for the Nintendo tower of power to compete with Sega’s. Maybe just add a game shark to the mix. Cheers dude!

I was sure you were gonna add the reset button permanently right then and there. Lol 😆

I didn't expect the cartdridge to use all the space

That Long Boy needs a game genie and those weird stereo speakers that you plug into the bottom

What ever happened to the duel screen gameboy advance kit?

I've been away for a while. So I have a 82 in 1 that looks almost identical. I can only get it to work on a DMG01. Also I have the reset button. Thais was way cool to see

that stuff is hard to erase really. even with the right uv light it takes minutes exposed to it for it to do it. even then you need to do it more then a few times sometimes. don't worry about that kind of stuff.
