r/gameverifying

is this copy of german Pokémon Sapphire real and safe to buy?

Friend gifted saying he doesn’t play anymore so I offered to take it off his hands

Thanks🙏

Hi guys! I was going through the wiki on verifying NTR-031 cartridges and I got a bit stumped by the PCB variation on this SoulSilver cartridge I bought from eBay.

I'm not really sure about the first part of the PCB as I couldn't find this variation on the wiki. Is it real or fake?

picked it up from a local game store

Thanks guys

Look legit to me but would like to double check with you guys! Thanks in advance!

Seems to be real, but as a DS Collector this might be the most pristine condition item I've seen yet (especially considering this is a high demand game) and it didn't have a save file when I got it (seems to save fine at least) so I've been a bit suspicious

Just wanted to double check these are both authentic. As of right now ruby does not launch and has a scrambled Nintendo logo m, but the pins look dirty going to try to clean it up and try again. Also noticed rubys battery solder in the top corner is a little messy don’t know if that’s a reason either

Found on Facebook marketplace. Guy says "mhm I'm really not sure.. put it in and played it a while back but only played for like an hour or so. not a expert on this type of thing"

my phone is 5 years old and one of the camera lens is broken. I tried to take a best photos that I could.
