THANKYOU!Hobie-wan wrote:The boot was trying to emulate the cheesiness of the box. But a real one wouldn't squeeze those tiny tiny logos on there, nor would they use a sloppy bottom half of a face that just cuts off either.
Not that the legit box and cart are works of art either, but at least they're just shitty design, not random unreadable logos and cut off artwork.
Also notice that the cart code is completely wrong. If the memory chip in the boot works properly, then a new battery would probably make it save fine. Even looking at your pictures, you can tell that the GB text on the shell is low quality and sticks up too much. See also the racing stripes on the back of the shell. They're shallow on the real POTD and rather deep on the boots.
If I ever come across Castlevania Double Pack again in the wild I know what to look for now. A good point of being wary of cutoff pics, bootleg Pinball of the Dead had a cutoff pic too. Strange that the legit version of PotD has such crappy font, a pain to read.
Gamestop has a great return policy, unfortunate they are no longer buying GBA games. If I buy the legit one I can return the bad one in its place, even if over seven days. Justified since I did buy the bootleg version at Gamestop. The irony is years later what if the flash memory does go bad on the legit version? Not an easy fix. At least with the bootleg version I can replace the battery. Oh the headaches of an OCD collector!
Maybe I should tackle that battery change out in Castlevania.
Would the cart battery last for years, or will it give out in six months?
Okay probably not, but but does the GBA charge the Game Cart battery?
