What is currently the best battery you can put into a GBA sp? I know with some slight alteration, you can fit a DSi battery into an SP, but can the same be done with the much larger capacity DSi XL battery? Are there any other batteries that are even better?

I would love to hear opinions on batteries and brands that you are all using for your SP, and where is the best place to purchase a quality one. I am in Canada FYI.

DS you mean, where it's only a matter of breaking off the tabs? (and indeed an original DS battery from 2005 or so, lightly but appropriately-often used is what I use)

With more effort (ie replacing the connector and/or case modding) pretty much any single-cell (protected) lithium battery can be used, for an enthusiast with good CAD skills and a 3d printer there's their opportunity to make a worthy successor to the 40 hours of the original GB :D

    VR is like 3D TVs in my opinion it's cool and all but it doesn't have enough great content.

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc

    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

  • Veho @ Veho:
    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double

    I think they should bring back the shutter glasses for VR put 120Hz screen in for 60FPS and even a basic phone these days can pull that off
