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.

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

Psionic Roshambo:
Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
