    just one tip: You could use an old/ beat up cartridge shell to avoid melting or damaging the plastic on the original shell

    Another way would be to find a good spot on the board for positive battery voltage and ground and connect a bench supply, or even a cheap wall wart, in parallel to the existing battery. At this point you can swap the batteries. That way you keep all saves.

    I've been telling people to do this for a long time, but they always fear they'll scorch something and break it. Which couuuld happen, but if you have a tiny bit of experience it'll be fine.

    L’idée est bonne! C’est cool de l’avoir mise en ligne ✌️🕹 Perso je le fait sur la sp… mais avec la gba ça m’a l’air bien plus pratique !
