I don't understand what you mean by your 'fake' Yellow version? Care to elaborate more on that? Thanks. And as far as it comes to my old school Pokemon cartrdige games, they still work perfectly fine. My Yellow version is having some troubles lately, but my Red version is still working like a charm, and both my Gold & Crystal versions are working 100% as well.Is it even possible to play these games anymore? My (fake) yellow lost it's memory like seven years ago lol...
I rarely play with them anymore, or have been until recent months, but they still work if you keep them safe. They've been sitting in my GB/GBC/GBA game pouch and they stay in those little plastic game holders, so no dust (or less dust) has touched them from being in there, and the chips inside are clean, so no internal damage on the cartridges.
But yes, mine still work great, but if I feel like playing those games from that Gen, then I'd just put those games on my PSP, and since we can't talk about roms/emulators or things such as those, I won't say more than what I already have. But when I say I put them on my PSP, you'll get a clue on how that works, no need to explain that, specially not in this section, or on Smogon at all.
I think I had a Blue version, but I don't know where it is, I probably lost it in a house move or something. Probably somewhere in my garage along with all the other crap. So I hope that works if I ever find it again.
