Losing songs builds character.

Deleting songs on purpose is Manly.

I think most store owners in the US stopped stocking due to it being an outdated technology.  If you like, however, you can send your carts my way and I can perform a backup for you.  I kept one for just such an occasion.

Oh, word up! Why do you think it's considered "outdated"? To me it's new technology...lol. But, if I have no luck with getting a Transferer 2, then I'll consider sending you my carts.... I guess. Right now I don't really have much material to care about "backing up" yet.... that day will come eventually, so I'll let ya know! Thanks!!!

I seriously love that thing. So useful and it only cost $5. Works fine on my DMG after I cut the "safety latch."

I used that same technique you used on your 32m cart on my GameBoy camera.

they only work on pockets/colors for some reason though.
i have 3 music DMGs and a backup pocket.

also, i was able to backup my sav from my ems32 cart onto the mega mem,
then flash that sav onto my new usb64cart and backup/update both carts!

I was thinking of replacing batteries before they run out, would that stop data loss? If so, how many hours on the cart would be a good indicator for doing so?

Don't quote me on this, but I think removal of your battery will actually wipe your cart clean:)  Not sure though.  You might want to figure out a way to back your stuff up.  I've heard of carts lasting anywhere from a month to a couple of years.  So, it's like when the cable guy tells you you need to be home between the hours of 9 and 5.

i'll google it. But i backup monthly which is a hassle, 3 old carts and 2 bleepbloops, i back up to a file-hosting site in case of a fire!

made long ago but still useful today

I do guess that I learned that I have a stronger personal connection to my music than most others do to theirs, and I kind of think that's a shame.

A shame for us or a shame for you?

I was obviously being hyperbolic.

Still, this cart was over a year of my life and hard work. I can maybe remake things like "Bunny" but I honestly don't remember a lot of the stuff from over a year ago. Those songs are gone.
