I've been working on an Android app for my own needs to track my Game Gear collection. There are a lot of nice game apps out there but I found I couldn't customize them the way I wanted. My app shows me the 365 released games, in all regions, with all known names, and combines them into one list. Since I'm only building it for me I haven't pushed a release. If anyone wants to tailor it for their own desires feel free to grab the code from my GitHub.

UPDATE: It works perfectly in the Retron5. I have no idea why.

My copy of Double Dragon was pretty dirty inside. I gave it a good scrub and cleaned the pins but I noticed it had missing background elements in-game. I cleaned it some more and then added flux and solder and reflowed the chip. No improvement at all. I then did a continuity check and all pins beeped out correctly.

What ya'll think? Faulty chip?

Summary:

Cleaned with IPA twice

Reflowed chip

Continuity on pins and chip tested good

No background elements in game.

I got the glass screen protectors. Installed easy and also came with a clear soft body wrap too. So far so good!
