Game cartridge batteries.

I don't know how many retro game collectors there are on here, but I like to collect gameboy games and N64 games myself. If the game requires a battery to save, then that battery needs to be replaced at some point. Well I found this guy on ebay named Vinnygames who mods the game with a battery grip that holds the battery and makes them easily replaceable. I tried to solder 2 myself before finding out about this guy and I failed miserably. I bought the cheapest soldering kit on ebay and nothing went right. I sent him 25 of my games and only a couple of my games lost the original save file. So somehow he does this in a way where the save file doesn't delete. I am not trying to advertise or anything. I just wanted others to know about this convenient service.
