    Non volatil game boy saves (done on Pokemon Yellow, but problem on Pokemon Gold)

    The reason we're trying the FM18 chips was that the maximum voltage of FM28V020 does not match PCBs of Gameboy carts, and will require some extra work (e.g. lift pin) instead of just a drop-off. Since the FM18 chips works under the same voltage as Gameboy carts, they were considered...

    Non volatil game boy saves (done on Pokemon Yellow, but problem on Pokemon Gold)

    Hello, Sorry to bump this, but I had also run into exactly the same problem with FM18W08. The detailed issues are: After selecting "CONTINUE" from the menu after splash screen, the game will show that the save file you're going to load has "no player name (blank or null string), no badges...
