Are there any homebrew apps available that can tell me the amount of charge remaining in the DS (% wise)? I did a quick search on this forum but nothing related turned up.

I read somewhere that the G6 has an icon on its main menu that shows this, so it should be possible.

 

That's correct. It would be impossible for a Homebrew that can do that because the DS only list good or bad battery life. This has been asked a couple times, next time search

 

Got a question relating to battery status. How many of you guys decide to charge the DS Lite as soon as you see it has a red light on?

Or do you guys actually keep on playing till its dead to the point of not switching on until recharged?

 

if a charger is available i will charge it when it gets red. if i'm away from home, i might keep playing for a little while, but i will eventually turn it off before it shuts itself off (so i don't lose saves etc).
