GBA slot not working
Posted: March 13th, 2016, 10:47 am
For a week or so the GBA slot on my Retron 5 seems to be dead. It doesn't recognize anything, no matter if GBA, GBC or GB games. It doesn't even notice there's a game inserted (just gives the "no cart inserted" message). All other slots are working fine.
Now I hadn't played any GameBoy games in a while on the machine, so I'm not sure when exactly it stopped working, but I did upgrade to the newest beta firmware in the meantime (v.2.3 Beta 3), so maybe that was the cause? Can I just downgrade back to v.2.2 without issues? Or might there be something else wrong with the system? At the very least there doesn't seem to be dust in the slot.
