@rotopenguin @veviser @btsherratt @candle a nuclear reactor might be a viable alternative to AA in that scenario. Besides the harmful radiation.
Jacket@batvin3211 @rotopenguin @veviser @btsherratt @candle It's at least more ethical then using all the water to generate images that makes no sense to put them on linked it acting like it illustrate whatever you try to say with your text that you also used water to generate.
@jacket @rotopenguin @veviser @btsherratt @candle amen to that. Better for one to die of radiation poisoning than cook the whole planet.
@rotopenguin @veviser @btsherratt @candle Didn't have save features. You didn't need one. The batteries where dead before you do any progression. Genus design.

I was considering a backlight IPS screen mod for one or both of my ags-001 Clamshell GBA SPs.
I fear that I may not be able to afford replacement batteries after the mods...
Those batteries are only good for a few thousand charges. That's like four hours of estimated play time!
@RyeNCode @candle You can mod it to have a permanent USBC chargeable battery. https://funnyplaying.com/products/gba-li-ion-rechargeable-battery-typec-module
@jacket @candle oh.. If I'd kept my original GBA (screen shattered when a GameCube was pulled off it's perch and landed corner-on direct to the GBA screen) that would have been ideal.
Sadly, I didn't keep the hardware. It was replaced promptly with the, then new, GBA SP (ags-001 with the poorly front-lit screen).

Pedro MateusYou know you grew up poor but your parents were trying when your light/magnifier wasn't even the off-brand, but the off-off-brand one
@pedro_mateus game & boy
Scribblemacher@candle "instantly consume"? My GBC gets like 30 hours on 2 AAs. Even with a worm light, it feels almost immortal.

@fuzzyfuzzyfungus @candle Why did the nomad look so much like a camera?
Garrett Latimer@candle One of the first things with a white LED in it that a lot of us could get…
Christiaan Kras@candle recently tried out my old wormlight for the GBA and I wonder how I was ever able to game with that. It only lids a part of the screen and does a poor job at that.
@Htbaa i was wondering if these were actually LED or incandescent. i remembering it using so much battery but if it's LED i can't imagine how
@candle no clue to be honest. We did have LEDs back then. Maybe the port itself draws a certain amount of power regardless what’s connected to it?
Nentuaby@Htbaa @candle The original Nyko worm light was one of the very first commercial devices ever to contain a white LED! (LEDs were commercialized in the '60s but the problem of getting them to make white light was only cracked in '96, two years before the original worm light released.)
It was mainly just hard on your batteries by comparison-- Game Boys are *incredibly* low-power. Any flashlight, even an LED flashlight, is a comparatively high-draw device!
Fuzz-RaWeirdly, the key to making white LEDs was making the impossible blue, to up-shift with phosphors.
One day we will get beyond hardware designers thinking we want every device we own to have a harsh blue standby light.
Edit: AA cells were so much worse back then, weren't they? A modern no-name provides more.

分 Bifurkatus@candle I can recommend LiPos with AA form factor: E.g. Dracutum Rechargeable Lithium Batteries 3600 mWh 🔋🔋🔋🔋
