Wow, that's awesome!  How much did that set you back, if you don't mind me asking.  And is there an English patch for it?

It was $5 + $5 shipping, which was a very good price in my opinion! The loose copies were all $15 when I bought it.  I don't know if there's an English patch, though... I have zero knowledge in term of language patches... is there even such a thing as a patch for a GBC game? 

There's no patch for the game as far as I know. You can patch the game cart by replacing the data chips in it, but I have no idea if it's possible in Game Boy games, since I've never seen that be done.

Well there could be patches for GBC games, but they'd be to the ROMs of that game. You'd have to get the patched ROM back onto the cartridge.

One interesting thing I saw Dashv point out about the Retron 5 is that they added IPS patching to games. That means you could have a English patch applied to the game using the console without changing the game cartridge at all. I get more intrigued by their system with each update.

I went to Gamestop to pick up my Preorder of Persona Ultimax and found these two PSP games while there.

Yeah, a patch in conjunction with the Retron 5 is actually what I was thinking.    Would be extremely cool if there was such a thing.

Oooh, I see. I would definitely prefer going the Retron way though, to make sure I wouldn't spoil my game and whatnot (I tend to be so unlucky with technology. Why did I even choose to work in technology then? Heck if I know!  )

Good deal for a great game!

Did you get the whole thing for $10? If you did, you got a great deal out of it especially for the price and for how good of a strategy game it is. Beware of Lunatic and Lunatic+.

Yes. Was only $24 retail and after using my rewards points, only $10.

Must be my lucky week for Nintendo, Friday I picked up Tales of The Abyss for $10 from a pawn. Yesterday, I picked up Return to Dream Land for $25.

Visiting the in-laws with my wife and they brought out a box of old Atari stuff they had and gave it to me...



The 2600 Vader and Coleco tape deck are dusty and will need cleaning.

Last pickup of the month... I got Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on the PS3

From what little research I've done it seems that someone is working on an English patch for Devil Children: Black Book (Black specifically, I saw no word on White or Red) but it's still in the early stages.  There are completed English patches for the first 2 super famicom SMT games  tho, which makes picking those up kinda tempting.

You should fight me after we spend a little time with the game.
