I just back up my carts regularly.

This was always my main problem, before there were no USB carts and backing up meant having a computer ancient enough to both have a parallel port and a shitty operating system that would run the even shittier software bundled with the cartridge reader you had chosen. So frequent backups were out of teh question..

I was on tour for all 2008 and back up was not an option, so I lost a ton of shit after a battery death in Sheffield. There were some good tunes there sad

Just wait till the first production run of abrasive's "Heaps Cart" is out. Batteryless FRAM baby. You'll die before the cart does! tongue

I can't be arsed with this game boy shit anymore. I switched to mGB and store nothing on the GB cart. Much more reliable.

well, you've got a lot of options if you're looking for an alternative, you could use deflemask tracker or a jailbroken idevice using an emulator or an android GB emulator or a jailbroken PSP running a GB emulator or if you're seriously desperate then just go skeet shoot your cartridge, upload it to youtube, and by extension because you're shooting stuff with a real gun on an online video-hosting site you'll get some extra cash through ad revenue and partnership, so then use that cash to bribe a cart out of the dude making the heaps cart, then shoot the cartridge to please your fans and repeat the process to earn so much money you just stop giving a shit about chiptunes and then just start making youtube videos of you shooting guns and acting like a douchebag for a living making a whole f-ton of money you probably don't deserve

i think what i'm trying to say is just go replace the battery and start backing your cart up more often
