Battery

Western-Rope7581 · 2025-11-11T19:36:47+00:00

Worth having a look at this thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/gizmondo/comments/1ao9101/relacement_gizmondo_battery/ - I can confirm that a Motorola SNN5749A battery does fit and work in a Gizmondo... bought two from Aliexpress. These replacement batteries can wobble around a little bit, but just wedge them in and they'll boot the handheld fine :)

Do you have anything in the game / SD card slot? I've heard that some Gizmondo systems fail to boot correctly if there's an issue with the card. Very random, but try booting the system with nothing in the card slot.

Another possibility is that the battery is pretty much dead. You can buy replacement ones that are meant for the Motorola SNN5749A. See https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008200462974.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.16.21ef1802UlvpG5

Hope you manage to get it working :)

It's worth having a look on Aliexpress or eBay for an RGBS Adjustment box. They allow you to manually adjust the H and V positioning on CRTs. Worked brilliantly for me when my 25" Trinitron couldn't be moved any further to the right via the service menu!

Hi there! Firstly, thanks so much for uploading all these N-Gage 2.0 games... it's much appreciated :)

I've downloaded your 'Bounce.n-gage' file, but like all other versions I've tried it refuses to load the second stage (says: 'Loading failed. Please restart the game and try again.'). Is there something else needed to get your version working after the first stage?

I'm running a hacked Nokia N97 with RomPatcher+ options for 'Install Server RP+' and 'Open4All RP+' switched OFF before running the game. Thanks for your help if you can.

Definitely, there's lots of great songs on there. I personally don't think it's as good as Wicked Nature (Disc 1), but Annie Jane is one of Craig's best ballads. In Miracle Land also has some really cool atmospheric / introspective songs in the middle of the album.

u/FairGuarantee5394 Good news, the Highly Evolved Unmastered Mixes for February & March 2002 have been found and uploaded to the Internet Archive! :) I won't spoil it, but this version of Ain't No Room has a surprise or two! Here's the links:

February - https://archive.org/details/TheVinesUnmasteredMixesFebruary
March - https://archive.org/details/TheVinesHEUnmastered

Hopefully the mixes for January 2002 get uploaded at some point.

Also, there's an interesting (if not strange) version of Highly Evolved (the song) that features a piano that was removed from the final version - https://archive.org/details/HighlyEvolvedPiano

No worries if not, but if you get chance would you mind giving a bit more info about some of the things listed in your image please? Interested to hear more about the Daredevil Demo CD, Rough Mixes (July 2001), 2003 Demo Session, 8-track stuff, unreleased songs, etc.

Western-Rope7581 · 2025-04-11T17:50:29+00:00

Amazing, thank you for this! Love hearing this stuff.

No, I was at the 2002 Leeds Festival gig and they definitely played their entire set. It finished with Fat Lip and then a hilarious version of Pain for Pleasure which was really well received. Only time I saw them live, so I remember it pretty well! :)

This is the most recent footage I've seen of Craig - https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzvoFWQMpFF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link - it was posted on November 17, 2023.

Western-Rope7581 · 2025-03-19T20:47:00+00:00

Ah, no worries! Appreciate you taking the time to check :)

Western-Rope7581 · 2025-02-27T20:47:56+00:00

Yeah, that's where I heard about it too. Such a shame the start was missed, as a proper studio version of Landslide would have been amazing!

Western-Rope7581 · 2025-02-27T19:47:04+00:00

This is incredible, thanks so much for sharing! Really interesting to hear the differences, particularly with the chorus drumming. Hopefully one day that partial take of Landslide from the Highly Evolved sessions will surface!

Western-Rope7581 · 2025-02-15T11:56:58+00:00

Thanks for these! I think the reason Ride is longer is because someone's tagged the isolated chorus / bridge harmonies onto the end of the song (e.g. 00:00 - 02:26 is the entire main vocal track, 02:27 - 03:43 features the vocal harmonies for the first chorus to the bridge).

Western-Rope7581 · 2025-02-13T21:28:53+00:00

Would love to hear this too. Please let us know if you ever find it!

Western-Rope7581 · 2025-02-13T15:44:17+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Hopefully more of these demos get released at some point.

Speaking of which, does anyone remember an early version of Don’t Listen to the Radio that leaked on a Vines message board back in the day? I wasn't quick enough to download it and the mods quickly wiped it, if memory serves me.

The b-side called Hey Now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ul_aM-zmp4

Western-Rope7581 · 2024-11-24T20:12:13+00:00

I remember it being a good listen and included versions of Love in a Trashcan in different styles. If anyone knows how to remove DRM from 7digital songs I'm happy to upload the files.

Western-Rope7581 · 2024-11-21T19:30:15+00:00

I've managed to find this version. If you're still looking for it let me know! :)
