same reason many other PCBs have seemingly unused contacts
for debugging, re-flashing/re-programming (depending on type of media) etc..

also: spotted by aw/j

Spoiler: lol darkfader

You have to take in mind, i've been told over irc:

- €20 is for the linker only
- €25 for the Flashcart

Total €45 (without shipping i pressume)

I'm pretty sure that's just the bare PCB. It's missing the FPGA, and the NAND chips are probably on the other side.

EDIT: Man, I love being correct

I wish kind of still wish I had my Pokemon Mini now. It has a good home though, a female friend of mine was taking care of my Pikachu.

Why not have a microsd like everything else. Even the game boy is getting a drag and drop card.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

Older tech, requires older crap.

I was on that site looking for stuff on the pokewalker thing, found my way to a disassembly of one.
