    Default Nintendo's security screws

    Hello again. I don't know if this has been addressed before, but I've been trying for weeks. I recently bought a copy each of Pokemon Gold and Silver, and come to find out the save batteries are dead. I have tried everything, from the Bic pen trick to just grabbing onto the screw with two flatheads or a pair of tweezers and trying to strong-arm it open, to no avail. Is there a place to just buy a bit to open these? I've been told most of them on eBay are fakes...

    We're back, baby. I'd love if someone could help me read this.

    Fake? I can't see that. Cheap and crappy quality perhaps. Anyways, buy this:

    Reading the reviews it looks like buying one from JJ Games should be fine.
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    Yeah, i was in the same situation as you, very hard to get the screws out of GB(C) games using the BIC pen trick. I bought my gamebit set off a UK seller off ebay (Faster than ordering from the US) and its legit.
    Here's the seller and the gamebit set i bought: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/GAMEBIT-GAME-...item20c5981bd3
