Hacking Wood R4 homebrew.

[Dark_Kobe]

Hello GBAtemp, I have a question for the professionals who knows their flash carts well. I have a r4ds (rather old), and i am using wood r4 1.26(current version) to play my DS games. Now I had my original brick DS for about 6 years. Before getting wood r4, my battery died like after 4-5 hours of use. Now it dies only after 1-2 hours. Is it the homebrew or the DS itself?

It's your DS. It's advised to get the battery replaced every 6-12 months.

EDIT: Charge your ds completely and this time use an original game and measure the results with the R4.

That sounds a bit extreme. I've had my DS since December 06 and I still have a 4 hour charge after its tons of use.
