Was trading pokemon to my main switch when it suddenly showed a low battery symbol in the middle of the screen and turned off. The battery was draining normally and it wasnt too fast or too slow but as soon as it hit about half way, my switch just keeps going to sleep in CFW and then just completely turns off in stock. The issue comepletely goes away when charging and then shortly returns when unplugged. Is my battery going out or is this something else? My battery info is below

Charge it to 100%, then drain it to 0, recharge it back to 100%, that count as two full cycles, the low voltage of 3136 mV/3.136V it indicates low battery percentage, when it is fully charge it should be 4.2V

I have the same issue, but in hekate i don't have Voltage now in yellow (around 3864mV)
i have noticed when i play 3D games like Zelda Totk or Mario Kart the switch goes to sleep mode and shows low battery icon in the middle.
but if i keep the console idle or if launch super nintendo or gba game, the problem doesn't happen.
this is getting ridiculous, mine goes to sleep with 90% of the battery.
any help? please??

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
