Hacking Supercard DSTWO hardware failure

[DiscostewSM]

EDIT: one other 'concern' is I think the battery drain is a little higher with the DStwo than I had with my older card - ak2i

In order for the DSTWO to work it's anti-protection magic with DS games, the CPU inside the card is kept active to emulate card speeds, handle workarounds, etc., plus, it has to be active for the in-game menu for real-time saves, slow-motion, cheats, and other things. I've had my poor DSphat since it was first released, and it's gone through 2 separate battery replacement. This current one after a full charge only gives about 1 1/2 hours of playtime using the DSTWO with a game like M&L:BIS.

It doesn't use as much energy on patch mode

Nice, didn't realize about that. Found how to get to that, but with M&L:BIS, it was already in Patch mode, so I can only imagine the reduced battery life I'd have if I changed that.

It's just because clean mode uses the magical AAP (Anti-anti-piracy) thing

It doesn't save that much energy but it definitely saves some
and I think it's time you got a new DS
