« on: June 28, 2019, 07:41:42 am »i like information about software diferences but i gona get even more specifick i have 1 european gb pokemon red game that has been damaged so i think about buy jap version swap rom chip so i get pal game rom working witch ENGLISH subtitles witchout this black box glitch its really hard to play witchout sprites
You're in for a bad time dawg, it's not going to work the way you think it's going to. Swapping the chip from board to board won't make a hill of beans difference as the text will still be in Japanese because that's how the ROM was coded. As for getting a working version in English, I don't know what to tell you other than finding another Western release cart.
I just want to swap rom from european game to japanise because error that apeard on me version can be from corupted sram so i thought as rom chip contains game files then if i swap chip witch that files to working pcb witch fine sram that i could eliminate this error but i don't know if they use different sram chips or other parts that can't read properly files from later relesed rom
Also as Trip pointed out, PAL is a Television standard and applies not at all to portables like the GB/GBC/GBA/DS e
