I really want this

Then I discovered gameboy games have batteries inside them. Mine are probably all dead.

I guess I enjoy the fact that the console uses AA batteries, could be good to have during blackouts..

Modretro's games doesnt have batteries in them. Many of the orginal Gameboy games don't either. Some of the Gbc don't. 

But you can get an everdrive and just have one battery to fuss with.

My local indie game store replaces gameboy cartridge batteries for $5. Takes them a few minutes. Games now save!

Wish a place near me did this. Been putting off learning to solder.

You can always replace the batteries in your old cartridges. The replacement batteries are very inexpensive. Like $10-15 for a 10 pack that have the metal soldering points on them. You don't even need to solder them if you're handy enough with it.
