Thanks for all the condolences, mates. I believe my save is in heaven, alongside my Albert Odyssey save with all the characters on level 99. Man, that was a lot of grinding lost!  dschult3 - Oh man, I forgot all about cartridges. Is it easy to replace the battery? Does it need soldering or you just need to fit the battery there? Balder - Mirror's Edge is one of the single player games/series we both enjoy the most (Portal, Sleeping Dogs and Strider 2014 are the others). Unlike me, she usually leans toward metroidvanias, being a huge fan of both the Castlevania and Metroid series themselves, open-world games (all the GTAs, Saints Row, Just Cause) and modern point&click (Botanicula, Machinarium, Fran Bow, The Room etc.). And Spelunky. She has literally 500+ hours on it between the classic free version, the XBLA one and the Steam copy. Besides those, any coop game we can play together is fair game. You're pretty much settled I see. |

It requires soldering. There are also battery clips you can buy (and then solder in) that would make changing batteries super easy for the next time, though. I haven't tried it yet, but that's my plan. |

I haven't tried it yet, but that's my plan. Actually, you don't need to solder them into place. I know that there are a ton of videos out there that claim that there is a "right way" to do it; however, I actually replaced my Link to the Past battery around 10 years ago, and I tightly taped that battery in with electrical tape. It still holds on to my saved data. The only thing that sucks is the fact that you need that weird Nintendo bit to open up the carts. |

Have you replaced the battery post taping? I wonder how getting the new battery back out from the tape will work out. |

The tape wrap really isn't messy or permanent, so I'm sure it will be easy to replace in the future. |

If it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me. |
