the orange light means it is charging... if you leave it on for a long time and you take it off and turn the 3DS off there's a difference in the percentage?
No. It's like the 3DS thinks that it's charging the battery, but it isn't. If I take the battery out then plug the charger in, the orange light turns on for a few seconds then turns off again (like it should)
EDIT: This is probably a result of water damage, but i'm not sure, since the last time that I used the 3DS was a few months ago.

Most likely that's the case. I researched your issue and someone suggested to take the battery out and put it back, but it seems like you tried that. I suggest calling Nintendo Support and ask them what they think the problem may be. If they help you troubleshoot it, that's great or they'll ask you to send it in for a repair.

This^ I had the exact same issue with a water damaged 3DS I was repairing, after replacing the battery all was well.
See:
I already replaced the battery, the original battery died. (now I remember it, i'm 100% sure that it was water damage. the battery died, then I bought a new one, and now I can only charge the new one with an external charger)

If the battery can be charged with an external charger but not in the 3DS, then it would seem the problem is in the charging circuitry of the 3DS. That would probably require a replacement main board.
This can happen if you often take out the battery and put it back in while the 3DS is charging. I do this alot because the console will crash when I'm hacking. I also hate holding down the power button for an hour just for it to turn off. (Plus if the 3DS doesn't have some sort of power, the date and time will reset. Thus why I like to keep the charger in while I flip the battery.)
I'm not a wirehead, but my guess is that it can sort of fry the battery if you rapidly take out the battery and put it back in while charging.

Ooh I'd better stop doing this then. I'm doing it a lot during A9LH payload development! Thanks for the tip

Yeah, I have 2 batteries; one crappy battery for mods&what not and a normal battery for da normal stuff.
I wish the 3DS worked without a battery and just the charger cable. It would be so much easier during development to just pull the charger out

One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better. -

I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs

I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
