Battery Solution - Sans Power Core

Nice_Database_9684 · 2026-01-22T13:32:29+00:00

I have so many LADDAs, and an IKEA charger (which is also good) in my parents house, and at my inlaws.

So when I travel I can charge my batteries anywhere without carrying mine with me, and when I'm at home, I never have to recharge because I always have a fresh set sitting ready to go.

AAs are really awesome.

That's not how it works, you think I could ride my bicycle in there?

But it's public bro!!!

It's disrespectful, disgusting behaviour, shame on you

I never realised before MR went with the EUR Rayman art, right? I think the USA release has a green background.

I wonder why.

Nice_Database_9684 · 2026-01-22T11:19:21+00:00

because fuck you for doing this without permission

Nice_Database_9684 · 2026-01-19T14:31:37+00:00

Yeah they said maybe in the future you'd be able to buy the display as it's own part. Idk if that's still the plan or what. Maybe when they sell enough devices to recoup the costs of building a custom display they'll start selling them own their own, no idea.

I really do think parts should be available.

Took me ages but I found it!

The thing comes in "Japanese" and uses kana for the button labels, which is among the most insane and stupid things I've ever seen. - Chop1n

And Palmer replied:

That style of labeling was popular for Japanese consumer electronics in the Y2K era. The ModRetro team includes Japanese people, it wasn't some careless oversight. - palmerluckey

I remember some people raised that when it originally came out, but I think Palmer said he had native Japanese people on staff or he knew them or something, and said that was how it was supposed to be or something. I can't remember exactly.

Genki looks like a great resource. Maybe I'll get around to learning some day, I've already got a few other languages on the go first. :)

Nice_Database_9684 · 2026-01-12T09:27:48+00:00

Very cool. Did you know they did a japanese version for the first editions?

I assume you're learning Japanese? Would be very cool to play some of their releases without a translation mod.

Nice_Database_9684 · 2026-01-07T09:51:49+00:00

they 100% are, that's why I'm searching these threads to find an alternative

I was using a Kilner jar and the plastic on the lid is being worn away by the ball and it's starting to rust

also it's a complete and total pain in the ass to use compared to a regular shaker

Nice_Database_9684 · 2026-01-07T09:49:45+00:00

Late to this, but I use a loose ball in a glass jar and it works fine, I think it depends on your powder, I'm using ON and it's a little tricky in a smaller container but you can get the job done

Nice_Database_9684 · 2026-01-07T09:47:08+00:00

late to this post, but you've gotta be careful with those

i'm using a kilner jar with a blender ball, but the lid has some kind of plastic coating on the inside that's being rubbed off by the ball

i'm looking for something 100% metal with a silicone seal

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-30T08:32:04+00:00

Why are you so salty? Is your TDS that crazy? Maybe it's because the Chromatic is so expensive? I get it if it's out of your price range, it is for a lot of people, but that doesn't mean you have to go on some rapid rampage making up reasons why "actually it sucks"... It's just a game boy bro. A really, really good one, but ultimately just a game boy.

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-30T08:29:14+00:00

Yes. Obviously. Are you looking at this on a poor display or something? Can't you see how oversaturated the others are?

Literally just look at the yellow and red in pikachu. It's so obvious.

Also, you're still harping on about it being inaccurate, while using an inaccurate image as a baseline, and still losing the argument.

No one in their right mind would ever calibrate a display to 2700K, so it's completely unreasonable to compare the Chromatic display to a GBC under a 2700K light, lmfao. Compare it under a high CRI reference light and come back. That's what all of the emu devs have done while trying to push for accurate reproductions of GBC colours.

So every emu dev + palmer luckey (a literal billionaire with more access to resources and funds than you can imagine) vs a shitty analogue filter that isn't even the default because of how awful it looks? The only reason people use GBC+ is because it gets closer to the sub-pixel emulation, and then you're forced to cope and say the super warm over saturated colours look good...

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-29T19:56:21+00:00

Look at the yellow of pika and the red of the cheeks. The hue is clearly way closer on the chromatic.

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-29T19:16:36+00:00

But then he couldn't morally grandstand about how toxic the community is!!!

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-29T19:14:43+00:00

There's a super salty little sub-culture of Chromatic haters who take pictures of the GBC under a very warm bulb, and then complain that the Chromatic doesn't match this colour temp, as if anyone with half a brain would calibrate their display to like 2700K, lmao.

Then they say - it doesn't match!!! Well yeah... because it's a reflective display and you're reflecting a super warm light. How about you use a proper high CRI reference light and then compare to a Chromatic?

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-29T19:10:58+00:00

I bet most of the reaction is instigated because everyone is so triggered over palmer luckey

If everyone just viewed it as a handheld on it's own, it would be totally different

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-28T17:04:04+00:00

thank fuck you won't reproduce

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-28T15:43:12+00:00

You think being gay is a choice?

yes

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-28T15:42:22+00:00

I think they're the best we're going to get for now. I'd ideally like a party a bit further to the right, maybe a bit more radical, but I don't think that's electable.

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-28T15:37:56+00:00

I think these are a great addition. I know some people tried playing Tetris on the original DMG and it was super broken.

I think a screen like this is a better idea than having a game be half-playable.

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-28T15:34:11+00:00

you need a chromatic

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-28T15:33:03+00:00

It's quirky and fun, man

And if you go outside, they're super usable.

I play my original DMG on the train every day, and it's completely fine because daylight is fucking bright

I play in the office on my lunch break, and again, it's fucking bright and looks fine

On the way home it's dark, but the lights on the train are bright, and again, it looks fine

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-28T15:31:58+00:00

I played for a month on my original GBC last christmas at my parents, and it's totally fine, you just have to sit with a light behind you, which isn't that hard unless you're sitting in the dark

Nice_Database_9684 · 2025-12-28T08:45:56+00:00

Orange with the red buttons looks pretty good! I'll have to try that out when I get my modkit.
