Never seen such a damaged cart, but it still works! .. except for saving games. I thought it would just require battery change, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. Got a big deception when opening it.
Looks like a diode got milked by the battery acid. Anybody knows if there is hope in fixing this cart? Would it be simpler to swap the ROM to a compatible board?
Thanks!

Swapping the rom chip would be harder than to actually clean it up and solder in new parts. if you don't mind me asking, what game is it? If I have it, I cold look and see what is needed to fix it.

You don't hear them, you don't see each others item drops, you don't miss XP if they help you take down an enemy. They're just there, really not much more then a friendly NPC.
But I hear the other arguments. I'm a little bored with the game too. The story progresses very slowly and is rather convoluted, the enemies don't have much diversity, and everything that I've seen so far I already saw in the beta.

It's not the multiplayer that bothers me. It's the constantly being online that bugs me. What if I want to take the game somewhere else to play that doesn't have internet connection? I pay $60 for a game I cannot play when I want to? And everything is stored on THEIR servers?.... Wow... Bungie meet Blizzard...
They are doing what everyone said they didn't want to happen to the xbox one system...

Picked up the Destiny PS4 Bundle at Gamestop using a bunch of gift cards from a $15 off $100 gift card purchase promo at a local grocery store. Not pictured but I also picked up Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut on the Wii U.

It's Soul Blazer. I thought about buying a compatible board (Super Play Action Football) to swap parts (one way or the other).
If you know how to identify each component on the board, that would be appreciated, I could pick them up at the local store (note: I would not be the one fixing it, a friend of mine has those skills/knowledge).
Thanks.

That board seriously isn't that bad. Just looks like it may need some resistors and a capacitor. Oh and a good cleaning and new battery lol.
I'll take a look at my games and see what is going on. Also if your friend is doing the repair, he should be able to figure out what you need.
