#Old Boy Game Box Original #228 Author: Rayling
Game card save loss should be the lingering collective memory of post-80s and post-90s players, in fact, in addition, there is a more terrifying memory called transformer burnout - many people have had the experience of plugging the game console transformer overnight, in the "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2" card level series article written before @ old boy game box, it is mentioned that xiao Lei stood in front of Zhuge Liang's bed and watched him sleep for a whole night in order to pass the plot of Zhuge Liang's three Gu Maolu.
However, some players are not very lucky, the transformer is burned out because of the long power on time, and even the transformer + game machine body is burned out together.
In today's notebook power supply, mobile phone charger will be plugged in for several months without pulling down the era, we have a hard time imagining the transformer is burned out of this kind of thing, along with the disappearance from our memory there is a kind of electrical appliance called a voltage regulator - in the small thunder or small thunder, the small county two steps can meet a small shop for repairing electrical appliances, when the civil voltage is very unstable, every three to five will also blackout, home appliances often need a front voltage regulator to work safely.
At that time, the transformer of Xiao Bawang was also a very heavyweight existence, the transformer at that time was as big as an adult's fist, and it could even smash walnuts when picked up, and Xiao Xiaolei once couldn't resist his curiosity to open it, which was full of thick copper coils.
But even so, the transformer in memory is often burned out. In the era of the little genius gray machine, the elders of the family often warn us that this game machine can not be plugged in for too long, play at most half a day at a time, the memory of this transformer is indeed not very heat-resistant, plugged in will become very hot, plugged in too long is really worried about whether it will directly explode.
In order to save costs, many of the coin cell batteries in the RPG intelligence card will be removed by them, which leads to many games without archiving function, if you want to play through, the game console power plug in for a night is always an inevitable thing. Even if everyone is a child, but the game console is still worried about the whole night, on the one hand, worried about being found by the family, interrogating why not unplug the power of the game console, on the other hand, worried that the transformer is overheated and directly burned out, then not only the game save can not be saved, even the game may not have to play.
It is said that in childhood, a group of friends with strong hands-on ability in order to keep the game save, directly took the family soldering pen to weld two wires to the intelligence card, connected to a Five battery to use, almost cut off the game card due to lack of power and the loss of the trouble of saving.
Because the battery compartment of the red and white machine smart card is usually a metal slot in the front and a metal dot below, probably two wires are welded in these two places, and then connected to a No. 5 battery and it is done. Xiao Lei did not have such a hands-on ability, nor could he find relevant pictures on the Internet, if there are friends who still have finished products, welcome to share with us through various ways.
However, as the saying goes, no matter how good the kung fu is, you are afraid of kitchen knives, if you encounter a power outage in the process of playing the game, even the best battery may not be able to return to the sky, and even due to the violent current fluctuations during the power outage, the original save in the mind card may be damaged, it is estimated that this should be the nightmare of many players that year.
It wasn't until the launch of chip-stored games like the Dragon Ball card series and Mars Technology's Pocket Genie Gold that the nightmare of everyone's save was completely eliminated, because these games do not have to rely on coin cell batteries for archiving. However, at this time, the red and white machine has also reached the edge of retirement, most players have long turned to the embrace of PC stand-alone games and online games, transformers, button batteries, etc., have gradually faded out of people's vision.
Xiao Lei recently started the nostalgic red and white machine, the transformer is 5V 1A kind of smaller than the mobile phone charger existence, sometimes it is really emotional time change, I don't know what kind of special memory you have for the game transformer, welcome to share your story.
