    Unknown Touch Screen Response Issue, at a Loss

    Unfortunately no, that's a function of the PSTV only. It might be possible to do it if I bluetooth a DS4 to my vita, but imo that sort of defeats the purpose of a portable unit. Updates: I did try opening the console and playing around in there. Made sure things were tight and cleaned it out...

    Unknown Touch Screen Response Issue, at a Loss

    Yep, I came for help and I was helped, so I'll definitely report back to let everyone know if it worked or not (hopefully it'll be helpful if this happens to somebody else in the future too). I've decided to wait until my new SD2VITA adapter and SD card arrive so I can just start fresh. I'll...

    Unknown Touch Screen Response Issue, at a Loss

    Yeahhhhhh that's kinda what I think it's going to come to. I was just hoping maybe somebody knew something I didn't, and it would be all 'Hey, just do the thing!' and I'd do the thing and it would be happy days, haha. Thank you :)

    Unknown Touch Screen Response Issue, at a Loss

    Hmm, I guess it could be that, but what gets me about it is that the problem portion of the screen *does* work when I ask it to do anything except touch that X symbol. So it's not like it sometimes works or sometimes doesn't. It just won't do that one specific thing. It leads me to think there's...

    Unknown Touch Screen Response Issue, at a Loss

    Hello Everyone, Sorry for the really long post, but I think I should provide as many details as possible since I'm asking for help. 99 times out of 100 I can solve my own problems by just carefully reading threads, watching videos, or tinkering, but I'm finally at a loss. I have an issue with...

    Hardware Success! (Advice?)

    Thanks :) Actually one of the reasons I did this was to get away from rechargeable batteries, heh. I'm a little tired of the crap shoot that is buying "new" rechargeables for devices of the GBA's era that are already worthless because they've been shelved for so long. I wanted future proofing...

    Hardware Success! (Advice?)

    I'm pleased to say that with some good info from the internet, I've given a scratched up old AGB-001 new life. It turned out to not be the hardest console mod I've ever done, but it was still an adventure, and I'm happy with the results. :) I'd like to ask for some advice. First off, I can't...

    Gaming Why is my GBA always reading low battery?

    I'll take a look, thanks. But if the switch were bad, would that actually be producing reduced battery life? Or would it simply be reading the charge on the battery wrong? Because the batteries do seem to actually be dying from a full charge in only about an hour. And I definitely get what...

    Gaming Why is my GBA always reading low battery?

    Well, I hope nobody minds if I keep this thread going on a bit longer, but I thought I should continue to document the situation in case anybody else ever has this problem. I managed to find yet a third GBA SP battery, so I tried that one. All three batteries are by different manufacturers, and...

    Gaming Why is my GBA always reading low battery?

    Update on this. I am since trying to keep the console's running on red to see how long they last. All told, it looks as though I'm getting about 70 minutes or so from full charge to console death. That's with both batteries on the SP, and the battery in the GBM. I get that we have no idea how...

    Gaming Why is my GBA always reading low battery?

    Well, I wasn't planning to do one in the near future (I don't even own an original GBA anymore), but I had good success with it on my DMG-01, so it's been in my head to try. Thanks for the heads up on that though.

    Gaming Why is my GBA always reading low battery?

    Yes, I've heard about the modifications needed to put a DS battery in a GBA, just have yet to try it. As far as the shelf life of a battery, well...I dunno, do third party manufacturers still make these things new? Or have they all been sitting around since these consoles were more popular? OEM...

    Gaming Why is my GBA always reading low battery?

    I've heard that general wear around the switch can cause this, yeah. Still hesitant to label that as my problem because it would have to be happening on both systems, and generating exactly the same behavior between them. But now I'm thinking maybe I should just turn it on, let it go red, and...

    Gaming Why is my GBA always reading low battery?

    Thanks for the quick response. So, there could be something wrong with the voltage sensor, then. Meaning that on a full charge I'll probably still get hours of life, but I'll be spending all but thirty minutes of those in the red, and I'll never really know when my battery is dying? Or...
