It's not about the battery. You have to change it regardless of method used. But it's easier to just dump the memory and reload it. Then you even have a backup. You're just being pretentious honestly. I mean, it's not even about those games, it's about 3DS carts and you're over here jerking yourself off that you can change GBC carts.

How is adding steps and error potential easier?

In what world is more steps and more potential issues the easier method?

People have been doing this way since the 80s, without flag carts. What do you think people did before….

That's what I'm wondering as you're over here performing surgery and the rest of us are just plugging it into an adapter. But you clearly don't get that.

So Mr. Smartass, since this whole thing is about 3DS cartridges, let's see your magical way to hot swap those batteries. Let's see your SO EASY way. Constantly jerking yourself off claiming your some expert and you're not even talking about the carts that matter here. So let's hear it. Otherwise you were just being a pretentious ass showing off shit that's not even relevant here.

Touch some grass loser.
