			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>stargazer says:</i></b><p>Yeah, my songs sound crazy when I do that......probably better than they did in the first place. <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /> That&#039;s why I ordered one of these: <a href="http://mmc" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Mega-Memory-Game-Boy-Color-Pocket/dp/B000MQ5X4A</a><br />For 9.99, that&#039;s hard to beat. Although that label looks like crap, I&#039;ll tear mine off. One thing to note too is that while this DOES work on a DMG, there is no slot for the power switch latch thing to go into so you either have to cut it off or cut into the card. I plan on doing the latter.</p><p>Also, I think that sellers should tell people that these carts can be problematic. Nonfinite implies it I guess, but honestly a 32mb usb cart is still better than most of the other options in my opinion. Again, someone should make an ultimate EMS 64mb cart answer thread.</p><p>Edit: Same product, same seller, cheaper price: <a href="http://CHEAP" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Memory-Gameboy-Original-Color-Game-Boy/dp/B00002R108/ref=pd_cp_vg_1</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>kitsch says:</i></b><p>a couple things to think about that might help:</p><p>1) DO NOT flash the program while its inside the gameboy.&nbsp; especially with the gameboy turned on...&nbsp; always have the cartridge out whenever you plug in the USB cable</p><p>2) pull the cartridge out of the gameboy and wait, then try to get back to menu 1.&nbsp; taking it out like his seems to help the cap discharge for some reason, making return to menu 1 quicker...</p><p>hope that helps!</p><p>but, yes, contact the person you bought it from.&nbsp; they should be able to help out, or at least troubleshoot it more in-depth with you.&nbsp; depending on their return policy and whatnot, things can be done..</p>]]></description>

Games will typically only &quot;know&quot; about the lower 32 kB and won&#039;t overwrite anything in the upper area. That&#039;s why you can still load files.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>nitro2k01 says:</i></b><p>1) Ask your reseller to return it to EMS. (Apparently they&#039;re responsive to that kind of problem.)<br />2) &quot;Bypass&quot; the problem by putting LSDj in both the banks. I still have no clue how to actually do this. Either there&#039;s an option in the transferring program, or you can make a super-big LSDj image that spans into that second bank, eg:<br /></p><div class="codebox"><pre><code>Windows:
copy /b lsdj.gb + lsdj.gb + lsdj.gb + lsdj.gb + lsdj.gb lsdj-big.gb

UNIX:
cat lsdj.gb lsdj.gb lsdj.gb lsdj.gb lsdj.gb &gt; lsdj-big.gb</code></pre></div>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>gizmo says:</i></b><p>So, i got my EMS cart a little over 1 month ago. A few days ago, my cart started going directly to Page 2. The only way to get it to Page 1&nbsp; is to power it off for a long time it seems. Or magic i&#039;m not sure. I tested the battery and it seems to have ~2.4 volts. I dunno what wrong, hope it&#039;s not a capacitor. Any help would be appreciated. thx.</p>]]></description>
