@no_donatello that's an amazing find! I believe it's in English because it was aimed at the Hong Kong market. I gave up my search for that particular holy grail in the end and payed a huge amount of money for a flashcart from Flash Masta, so I have the English version loaded on there, along with fan translations of other Digimon games.

@EarthboundBenjy the power button on the WSC does tend to wear out - I've owned a bunch of consoles and it has never worked consistently on any of them, so no surprise if it has failed altogether on yours.

Check the reply to this post for what seems like an easy fix (easier than the one in the OP): https://www.reddit.com/r/WonderSwan/comments/d9nfbw/comment/f1je3ln/

The other thing that can stop the WSC from turning on is the cart not properly connecting. I often find I have to have the cart very slightly pulled out rather than fully seated in the slot. However, if that is the issue you'll usually get a pop from the speaker as the console fails to turn on.

@no_donatello Nice collection. I have a boxed b/w console, a boxed Final Fantasy edition WSC and a WSC modded with an IPS screen. I have a nice little collection of boxed games but I came to it too late to get even a loose cart of Klanoa (and many others on this list) for a reasonable price. I do have a flashcart (not cheap!) so I'm able to play the unobtainable stuff, as well as fan translations of which there are quite a few - romhacking currently lists a dozen fully playable translations.

@Sketcz Surprised not to see it on the list next to the other WonderWitch competition winner Judgement Silversword - they're often mentioned in the same breath. Both excellent games.

@NinChocolate I thought I could hold off, for at least for a while, on buying yet another handheld (I have around 20 including classic and modern devices) until I saw the ARC. I shouldn't... I can't... I must!

This one looks nice too but it's not the one to lead me into temptation.
