When your power delivery is trash, stuff like this happens. Your GB Pocket needs a strong battery to work on a modded Gameboy with a flash cart. This is why GB Pockets are the only model I don't fuck with, they're too finicky and don't have any good battery mods.

Get Enloop batteries or UltraCell Plus NiZn 1.6v AAA - 1150mWh High Voltage rechargeables . Should get you 4hrs of playtime.

NiMh batteries are only 1.2V, try with some alkaline AAs or as @B.B.Link suggested, get some NiZn, just beware they need a special charger, and the battery life is maybe not as good as high end NiMhs. You can also get 1.5V li-ion AAs (they have a tiny li-ion cell inside with a voltage regulator to change 1.5 to 4.2 and vice versa) but the battery life is kinda poor because so much of the internal space is taken up by the voltage regulator circuitry. Those also need a special charger but often they come with some sort of USB charger.
I use DMG myself and thankfully the Ezflash Jr works fine on that.
Not possible I think. Just like making AA batteries at different voltages isn't possible (9V batteries are just 6 AAAA cells in series... if you open one up you'll see)
The specific chemistry is what decides the voltage. For example, li-ion/lipo batteries are always 3.7 or 3.8V but LiFePo4 (similar, yet different) are 3.2V.
I've been wondering why there's no "TRUE" 5v and 6v batteries out on the market. It's pretty annoying, to say the least. It's like battery engineers and electronics engineers just aren't talking.
It's hard to come up with new battery chemistries. There's constantly research done on it, but most of it isn't viable for mass production. They kind of don't get to pick the voltage, they just have to work with what the battery chemistry naturally produces.
You could make a battery that's connected in series internally to get a higher voltage (and there are lipo cells that do so), but it will always be a multiple of the 3.7v nominal voltage (in the case of lipo), so it doesn't really give you much control.

GBAtemp should be legally obligated to ban them, as its against the law to collect information from users under 13 because of COPPA.

VR is like 3D TVs in my opinion it's cool and all but it doesn't have enough great content.+1 -

VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"+1 -

Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.+1

The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc -

But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"+1

The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs

If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double
