Testing PHAT DS battery life while playing on Cyclo

[Canonbeat234]

I'm going to do several tests on my DS which will show the amount of battery life it has while playing on the CycloDS. I just did one recently even though I didn't played it Non-stop. I however, kept track how many hours, minutes I had played. Also let me reassure you that I didn't touch my DS until the following date, which was fully charged at that time. Here's Test 1 so far...

Does no one see the difference between these two tests? Also test 1 and 2 did have an EZ Flash expansion inside the GBA slot at the time.

Very nice. I wonder how the hell does the CycloDS Save the battery. And why can't other flashcarts do that.

 

[triassic911]

That's why the cyclo costs so much. It has much more hardware than other flashcarts.
