Writing songs builds experience.

Losing songs builds character.

Deleting songs on purpose is Manly.

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 Why do you think it's considered "outdated"?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.

Who has Transferer's for sale? Just curious, because I've been trying to hunt one down now for several months... I guess they're all sold out??? Anyone have a used one kicking around???

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!

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 smile which is a hassle, 3 old carts and 2 bleepbloops, i back up to a file-hosting site in case of a fire!

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.

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.
