    and wen u do, u look around in the grass and celebi appears....
    can that be trusted? i mean i hav billions of master balls thx 2 that cheat with the computer....

    This never happened to me...

    ...Well, what about Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2? Are they susceptible to this problem?

    • I had my Red version since mid-1999 and the internal clock hasn't died yet. Same with my Yellow, except late-1999. I have had my Silver and Gold since since late 2000. Not yet has my Silver nor Gold ran out. Although, it is possible to run out if things like dirt or something else damages it.

    My silver erased when I did something stupid with my N64(It was in the Transfer Pack). My yellow erased itself when I hadn't played it in a few years. x)

    It seems there is no specific lifetime for batteries, especially comparing GSC to RBY, which seem to last longer. And you can replace the battery yourself, if you can break open the casing, and solder in the correct new battery. (hardest part is finding one: your best bet is actually to buy a bargain bin GBC game with save and nick it out of that.)
    And then glue the case back together so it slots in, which is easier if you use your GBA, of course.

    EDIT: This will not restore corrupted old games, I think, just allow you to save new ones again.

    What article is it ?? But do you lose your game save ??

    The internal battery keeps the time of the game. So when the battery dies, the game is unable to keep time, thus it says that there is no time set and that the file is corrupted.

    That's right. It happened to me in Sapphire (The Emulator was an old version). It said that the battery ran dry, and there won't be any time event.

    Hehehe, no, it's not as easy as it sounds. The connections on the circuit board of the cartridge are very small, and and difficult to connect accurately by all accounts. And you need to be careful to isolate the battery until it is connected properly, to make sure of not putting power into any part of the circuit while working. I haven't done it successfully (I can't solder), but a friend of mine has, though he does work in electronics...
