Manufacturer description
* GAME CART DOES NOT WORK! This is for parts or repair only or Maybe even shell swap. There is also a crack on from housing of shell. Looks ok dispute the shell crack. Gameboy is to show what it does when you out it in console, it only shows logo but download anything after that. Once again sold as is for parts or repair only! Game cart doesn’t work it is authentic, I don’t know what’s wrong with it.
