This series relied so much on secrets, playground rumors, and being a kid with an active imagination. The internet killed the former two, and growing up killed the third.

With all of that stripped away, all that's left is a pretty barebones JRPG that's outclassed by every other JRPG series on the market.

I found my red/blue/yellow cartridges recently

I know it's been almost a decade since the save batteries started dying, but as long as the chance to copy my original save is non zero and not that expensive, I want to try it.

What do you I use to dump my cartridge save? Is there anything special I need to do to prevent losing a battery that's barely hanging on by a miracle?
