You can still play the game, it just means time based changes will not occur, such as berries growing or the tides in shoal cave will not change.
It is possible to replace the battery by following this tutorial "http://www.overclock.net/nintendo/465536-tutorial-replace-internal-battery-pokemon-ruby.html".
Not having a working battery will stop you from Berry Growth, Accessing all of Shoal Cave, Encountering Regice, and others. It's pretty inconvenient.
I say that you should fix it or throw it out and buy a new game :P
First you take the ruby cover apart, then you will see the "chip" in the top right corner theres a 3v battery(PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PART ) carefully pry the battery out of the socket it's in. (CAREFULLY )
When you have done that go to wallgreens, wallmart, family doller ect.
And find a 3v battery (looks like a watch battery)
then put I back togetther
viola!!!
Go to a Feebas tile, go fishing, and have infinite Feebas :3
Would replacing the battery get rid of saves? It appears my save file still exists but the battery is dry.
I replaced the battery and it worked fine. But other times when I do it, the meesage appears. Why does this happen?
Replacing the internal battery on gameboy advance games will not affect the game, unless you accidentally damage the inside of the cartridge.
You have to replace the internal battery I'm sorry but you have to spend money to buy the new battery there's no other way
