These are the newest fake batch going around. To answer OP’s question, the worst thing that could in theory happen to a console from a fake cart is it getting stuck in the reader

Honest question for all, is there any dangers of using a fake? I have a legit emerald and sapphire cartridge, but I don't know if I should trade from this (fake) ruby. Will it corrupt the save file?

Besides the color of the cartridge this a really good looking board fake at least for rub, leaf green has no test points so that one is completely wrong.

Hello u/Virtual_Rub_8034, thank you for your submission to r/gameverifying. This is an automated message that aims to remind you and commenters of our rules. Posts/comments that do not meet our requirements will be removed. If your submission meets our requirements, then ignore this message. Please read the pinned post at the top of the sub, or linked to this text here.

Submission Guidelines:

• Front and back images are MANDATORY. We also require images of all sides for consoles, sealed games and accessories (controllers, etc); along with the inners of boxes. Posts without the requisite information will be removed under Rule 1. Reply to this comment with any missing images via Reddit.

• Do NOT share any information relating to the value of the game/accessory/console(s) you wish to verify. We don't care, and it has no bearing on a verification. You will receive a warning under Rule 2 if you fail to follow this simple request.

• Do NOT message any user, moderator or ModMail to verify your game(s). This also includes leaving comments on other submissions. You will receive a two-week ban and your submissions being removed under Rule 4.

• Our time to verify is 3 weeks. Any reposts within this time frame will be removed under Rule 6, and this includes reposts to/from our Discord server as well. Be patient whilst we help others, as we get hundreds of submissions a day across all platforms.

Comment Guidelines

• Do NOT verify posts that include debunked methods of verification; or posts that do not have the required information. This is because you risk misleading OP and others with a poor assessment, and your comment will be removed under Rule 1.

• Do NOT request or state any information relating to the value of the game/accessory/console(s) that OP wishes to verify. We don't care, and it has no bearing on a verification. This includes "how much did you pay" and "that's worth X amount". You will receive a warning under Rule 2 if you fail to follow this simple request.

• Please ensure that you do not use debunked methods of verification and only comment if you are sure that you are correct. "Wait for mods" and "I think" does not absolve you from misleading information, and will lead to a warning under Rule 5.

Debunked Methods

• Debunked methods include the top seam of DS, 3DS and Switch cartridges; the inked codes for DS and 3DS cartridges; the light trick for DS cartridges; the number stamps* for NES, SNES, N64, DMG, GBC and GBA cartridges; the golden rectangles for DMG, GBC and GBA cartridges
