dbz buus fury game will not run on this hardware

Hey there, young’uns! Let’s talk about this here… uh… “DBZ Buu’s Fury” game. My grandson, bless his heart, got this thing, and it’s givin’ us a heap of trouble. It keeps sayin’ somethin’ like “game will not run on this hardware”. Now, I ain’t no fancy tech person, but I know a thing or two about fixin’ stuff, so let’s see if we can figure this out.

First off, what in tarnation does “hardware” even mean? Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a tool shed. But the boy tells me it’s the machine, the thing you hold in your hands to play the game. He’s got this little box, a “Game Boy Advance” he calls it. Looks like a fancy calculator to me, but he says it’s for playin’ games. So, this here message, it’s tellin’ us the game don’t like the box, I guess.

• Problem Number One: This here message pops up when he gets to the Great Kai’s house. He beats some fella named Olibu, goes through a wall made of somethin’ called “katchin,” and then BAM! “Game will not run on this hardware.” Just like that. Makes no sense to me. Why would it work fine before and then quit on ya?
• Possible Fix Number One: Some folks on the internet, those smarty-pants, they say it might be a “damaged game.” Like, the little cartridge thingy the game comes on is broke. That’s a possibility, I reckon. These things ain’t built like they used to be. Back in my day, things were made to last.

Now, this “damaged game” thing, it reminds me of when the old tractor breaks down. Sometimes it’s just a little wire loose, sometimes the whole dang engine’s shot. Could be somethin’ simple, could be a real mess. If it’s a “damaged game,” well, that’s like a busted engine. Might need a new one, and those things ain’t cheap, I tell ya.

But then I hear tell of this other thing, somethin’ about “save type.” Now, I ain’t got a clue what a “save type” is, but it sounds important. Seems like this here game, it saves your progress, so you don’t have to start all over every time. And if that “save type” ain’t right, the game gets all confused and throws a fit.

• Possible Fix Number Two: They say you gotta change this “save type” to somethin’ called “EEPROM.” Sounds like gibberish to me, but they say it’s in some kinda menu. Like lookin’ for a needle in a haystack, if you ask me. But if it fixes the game, I guess it’s worth a try. They also say you gotta “reset” the game after you change it. Like turnin’ it off and on again, I figure. We used to do that with the old TV when it got fuzzy.

This whole thing is makin’ my head spin. Back in my day, games were simple. You played ’em, and that was it. No “hardware,” no “save types,” no nothin’. Just good old-fashioned fun. But these young’uns, they like things complicated, I guess.

So, we tried changin’ this “EEPROM” thing, and wouldn’t you know it, it worked! The boy’s happy as a clam now, playin’ his game and beatin’ up bad guys. I still don’t understand half of it, but at least he’s not pesterin’ me anymore. And the game, Dragon Ball Z: Buu’s Fury, it’s a long game, I hear. They say it takes about 11 hours to finish, but that’s just if you’re rushin’. If you wanna see everything, it takes even longer. Eleven hours! That’s a whole lotta time to be sittin’ around playin’ games, if you ask me. But hey, what do I know? I’m just an old woman tryin’ to make sense of this newfangled technology.

Anyway, if you’re havin’ trouble with this “DBZ Buu’s Fury” game, and it’s tellin’ you it won’t run on your “hardware,” try changin’ that “save type” to “EEPROM.” And if that don’t work, well, maybe your game’s just broke. Either way, don’t go throwin’ your fancy game box against the wall. Just take a deep breath, and maybe ask a young’un for help. They seem to know all about this stuff, even if they don’t know how to darn a sock.

And another thing, these game companies, they gotta do better. Leakin’ all that information, it ain’t right. I heard on the radio that some company had a bunch of their secrets stolen. Game codes and stuff like that. Sounds like a mess. They need to be more careful, just like we need to be more careful with these games. Treat ’em nice, and maybe they’ll treat us nice in return.
