    Hey

    I am just wondering does everyone else experience a bit of battery life loss when using flashcarts on NDS compared to original games...

    Thanks. =]

    No differance noticed-then again I've been using dieing ds batteries :(

    But it shouldn't use more power-wifi usage (local or online) WILL use more power-flash card or not.

    Only time I notice a difference in battery life is if I turn up the back light on the DS lite or in the flashcart (M3Real) I don't do Wifi, usually I play until the red light comes on then I stop the game and crank the back light so it drains out the battery faster then recharge it. I'm probably going to regret it sooner or later.

    nothing special, just forgot to turn off the caps lock

    and i think your batteries are dying faster because youre always plugging it while playing
    without removing the batteries

    they do hold less charge over time anyway, so if they're a few years old its probably age.

    Then you should considering a new battery or a new DS perhaps

    Thanks, mine lasts only about three and a half hours before red sometimes less. Is this bad battery life. My Ds is only a couple of years old and I didn't play it much before getting a TT not that long ago.

    i notice it and when i us a game direct on DS it runs for around 3 hours but when i use My M3 it goes in around 2 hours and other thing i noticed is that when you playing game with M3 and it shows red light but at that time if i start to play with the orignal cart , red light turns to green... so that means cart uses more battery even when its on stand by

    the ds lite has a better battery life than the original ds so best not to expect 8 hours if you are using the original ds
