So my 5 year old nephew was playing on my switch the other day and let it go dead while he was playing... As soon as I got home I thought ok get it a little charge, reload the payload, then I can get on to my BOTW.... After I let it charge for about 10 mins and I pressed the power button, imagine my surprise when Toads treasure hunt was still up and running?!?.?! I thought everytime the battery died you had to load a payload before you could get back into CFW. Thinking it may have been a fluke, I tried it again playing BOTW, battery went dead, put a charge on it and..... BAMMM! I was right back in it. Is this suppose to happen? Had anyone else had a similar experience? Thanks in advance for any comments.

I get about 3ish hrs on a full charge.. give or take. I understand @heyd_d, just like if you unplug a PC or an Xbox there is still power to the system momentarily, but this was an hour after it had went dead. I tried to power it down in mid game thinking, maybe there was something with my particular system firmware, settings or maybe the model of switch itself. Didn't work, had to reload payload. Just thought it was strange.

And at that..... Is this different than just the normal sleep mode that you can put the switch into or is this something that could possibly be tapped into to be able to get a hold (or like simi-cold) boot out of? I know very little about any of this biz, just got me thinking. Thanks for the comment.

Think of the switch not running out of battery. It's just so low it won't allow you to use it. Think of it as the switch being in sleep mode except you can't unlock it, it's not completely dead yet so charging it up in this state doesn't restart the switch, but rather resumes
Not entirely sure but I'm sure you could find the answer somewhere online
this is normal. It doesn't fully power down. just goes into a deep sleep.
For how long though... Because thinking back I actually fell asleep playing Zelda, fell asleep woke up, got ready for work, went to work got home, then tried it after the battery had been dead..
I may run it out today and let it set a day or so before trying it just to see?
If you charge it, and 'turn it on' and the game is still running, then it never lost power.
So just in case anyone else is wondering.... 22hrs! That's how long it took to go completely dead. Once it did die I did have to reload the payload to get back in. Thanks for all the input from everyone.

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 -

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

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?

@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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 just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
-
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
