Does anybody on here do battery save swaps on SNES games? A friend is about to head out and grab a game for me but he nor the seller has an SNES to test. I don't have any soldering skills, just wanted to know if anyone on here knew of anyone that provided this kind of service?

Any helps ASAP would be great! Thanks guys!

    Does anybody actually provide the service? I know there are a lot of tutorials, but looking to see if anybody does it for a fee.
  • BenihanaBenihana
    I know the PnT in Tacoma does it for a small fee...other than that..I would just do it myself...the articles are great and help out a ton.
  • BenihanaBenihana
    Hell, I live in WA, and I would be happy to do it for ya...
    For a fee...maybe a 6 pack...or I could just show you how to do it...

    I do it for $8-$10. That includes a new battery, a battery holder installed so its easily changeable next time it dies, and return shipping. NES/SNES/Genesis only.  I can do Game Boy games, but its a little more since the battery is harder to find and more expensive.

    I hear ya on that one. I have to go to the Batteries Plus store in town to find them...PITA, but definitely worth changing.

    yea I get them at an independent small battery shop in town.  I just got in a huge shipment of perfect battery holders for NES/SNES/Genesis that fit right on the board and have no clearence issues closing the carts,  Im pretty excited about it lol.

    thanks sir, a member here is sending me quite a few, and another couple more are insterested at the moment.  I hope it goes well.  Eventually with the profits I would like to buy a Retrode and CopyNES as suggested by bunnyboy so I can back up saves to add extra value, but that will be awhile since both products are not really cheap.
