Whats wrong with an ebay one?
Battery technology has progressed a lot in 20 years

>>7746603
just keep it plugged in

>Please /vr/ spoon-feed me, because I'm too stupid to do anything on my own.
t. OP

you buy a new one. Even if you can'd find specific GBA batteries all you need to do is fine a generic phone battery and hardwire it in.

>>7746630
Would it kill you to just scroll past nigger?

>>7746630
sorry for ruining /vr/'s reputation of consistently high quality threads

>>7746603
I do nothing because it will simply slowly last for a little less every year for several more years because it has only started to die.

>>7746603
They are on ebay
Fag

>tfw My GBA only holds a charge for about 5 mins

The DS battery is actually the exact same battery as the GBA. So just buy a cheap DS battery. It'll have more battery life too.

>The DS battery is actually the exact same battery as the GBA.
You mean, the GBA SP? That's great if true. Any particular model of DS or what?

>>7747116
Original DS, cut the plastic tab on the battery so it'll fit.
DSi might work too if you mutilate the GBA's case but I wouldn't do that if I were you

>>7746603
What the fuck, GBA doesn't run on AAs?

>>7747757
only the original GBA runs on AAs

>>7746621
Won't work
The AC adapter only charges the battery on an SP, you have to wait till battery has enough power to boot it

>>7746603
Just buy a third party replacement. They're actually pretty generic and some smart phones used to use the same one with higher capacity.

>>7746630
shut the fuck up faggot

>>7746603
What you should have done in the first place:
- Get an OG GBA.
- Buy some Eneloop rechargeable AA batteries.
- Gut your SP and put it's screen in the OG GBA.

Simple as.

>>7747757
>modding your GBA to run on rechargable batteries
I sleep
>modding your SP to run on AA's
REAL SHIT?

>>7746603
Get a 3DS or Vita and emulate.

Worst case you just pry apart the old battery and stuff a generic 3.7v lithium battery pack in there. You'll be able to buy those from china until the end of time.

>>7746603
Batteries?

You do what I did. This way you are guaranteed more capacity for cheaper. It's especially good if you use a flashcart, since it uses more battery.

>>7750517
Yeah, to power the controllers.

>>7750517
Not embarrassingly shitty official emulation?

>>7750538
how are you this retarded?

>>7750538
But the Game Boy Player contains authentic GBA hardware. If you don't like the shitty darkening filter or input lag, use Game Boy Interface.

>>7746603
thank god I stood by my GBA with just the AA batteries, never had to deal with this bullshit

>>7750545
Do you even know a single fucking thing about the Gameboy Player?

>>7750561
This is how I play.
I just swap the save-files between the MiSTer and Everdrive depending if I'm doing couch-play on my 65" OLED or taking it on the go with my AGS-101 modded OG GBA.
It's more authentic hardware wise (on account of what an FPGA does) than my Gameboy Player and has none of the lag and hassle of even the Game Boy Interface driver.

Works like a dream.

>>7750534
Gross, this is the only good Gamecube controller.

>>7750616
>literal game boy hardware
>less authentic than an emulator

>>7750616
>my 65" OLED
>the lag
Use a CRT.

>>7750635
>the lag
>7ms
But yes, I have the analog I/O board on my MiSTer and play it on my CRTs as well with obviously zero lag, whereas the Gameboy Player with the Interface driver disc lags even on my CRTs.

>>7746630
he created this thread, moron
looks like he's trying to get some answers

>>7746603
Makho designed a pcb that can interface with lithium ion batteries to let you use a new battery to replace it, all you gotta do is solder it together

based and hori pilled

>Cutting up a GBA SP 101 for a battery "Mod"

Jesus Christ just get a chink battery and replace it when it dies.

>>7746603
It'd be a good idea to throw this thread up on /diy they'll tell you some real shit

>>7750616
>does fpga based emulation to play gba games on giant TV accurately
>uses a shitty chink aftermarket lcd instead of based ags-101
This is your brain on mister

>>7746603
Shove it up your ass dry lmao

>>7753737
>literally says AGS-101 modded OG GBA
>literally says straight FPGA cloning is more accurate COMPARABLY to the partial software based emulation of the Gamboy Player when played on OLED/CRT

>anon is to dumb to comprehend basic plain English
This is your brain vehemently against FPGAs and on Down syndrome.

>>7753753
>partial software based emulation of the Gamboy Player
Not him, but what exactly is partial about it?

>>7753757
The software driver on the disc you need to use for it to work at all that is also the cause of input lag, horrid murky scaling and frame-pace issues.
There is improved fan made software you can get now but it only fixes things up to a point and it's still partial software emulation, it has noticeably more lag than the MiSTer GBA core when I compare them on my CRTs.

It's a well know and documented issue with the Gameboy Player and just the reality of how it's designed to work, the reason why the MiSTer core is more responsive and accurate is that it basically becomes a GBA on a hardware level with an added VGA/HDMI out port.

Only hasel with the MiSTer is that there is no cartridge port to play your original carts, and you'll have to use an Everdrive if you want to transfer save-files to your GBA.

>>7753787
Oh, you were just talking shit then. None of that has anything to do with emulation.

>>7753757
>>7753791
>not him
>literally him
What do you think the software on the disc does anon, and why do you think it has such an effect how the games run? Please explain.

>>7753801
The software on the disc don't do anything but write controller status and capture the video & audio output to/from the GBA SoC. Running the game is entirely handled in hardware, and the boot disc interacts with it only by providing inputs and capturing the outputs. Then it applies some bad filters and spits it out at the wrong framerate.
The framepacing issues exist because the GBA refresh rate is 59.737Hz while the NTSC standard defines 59.94Hz. That's what the official disc and the standard version of Game Boy Interface output. Some of the alternate versions of Game Boy Interface address this and output accurately timed video instead.
The boot disc may be poor at doing this job. But that doesn't make it emulation any more than plugging a shitty upscaler into a console means that you're emulating it. Fundamentally it's not doing anything different.

>>7752064
cringe

gbaHD > gba consolizer > mister > *

>>7754537
For playing your original carts I absolutely agree, but if you're running a flash cart only anyways a MiSTer is a better investment on account of all the other systems it recreates and the QoL it provides on top of that.

>>7753753
>literally triggered emufag who can't into reading comprehension and projects like a mofo

>>7754537
I'd really like some kind of GBA consolizer mod, seems like such a convenient thing to have with how stupid GB players are, but they seem like a real pain in the ass to set up and find a case for.

>>7746603
Here's a tip as someone who has done research into rechargeable batteries
Never charge to 100%, and never let them get right to full discharge. You can extend these things lives by a very long time if you do that.

>>7758687
Rechargeable battery packs typically have charge protection circuitry in them meant to prevent them from charging to 100% capacity (or continuing to try and charge them when it reaches 100% capacity) or fully discharging to 0%. This might be built into the battery pack if it's removable or incorporated into the power supply of the device if the battery is hardwired.

I wouldn't know because I didn't check but I have to imagine the GBA SP include that.

>>7750534
Probably the first and last time anyone actually used Doom GBA's multiplayer feature.

Get the original model and rechargeable batteries.
