Don't think that it still can't happen, though. When you're working on a charged battery pack, be careful not push the time limit. When it starts running out of battery you'll see the screen start to fade. You have about 30 seconds to save and/or safely turn off to save the work memory. Don't plug in the extension cord into the pack while the gameboy is on or it'll reset.

Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks so much for the info. Now I just wish I had more time to use it. Stupid school and work messing with my fun time!

I keep it plugged into the wall for long composing sessions. This way you save your AAs only for playing out.

Part of the reason I got the AC adapter in the first place. I have a deep seeded fear of losing save data due to my batteries dying in the middle of an LSDJ session.

This thread makes perfect sense, I don't see any problems. I too was in the same boat of not having a AC adapter for my DMG, then I bought a 6v 1000mah AC adapter on ebay, it had the wrong connection tip, so I bought those at Radioshack. But the idea of a belt clip + random stuff... sounds intriguing.

Sure, this thread needs more direction, but it's comments like those that aren't progressive. Want people to learn? Don't make fun of them.

Pretty much the best thing about the battery pack is the belt clip.

ok, but my point is that this thread doesn't really tell us anything besides that you bought one of these that many of us already have..things like this are better saved for posting on twitter/facebook/your blog

not to be a dick, but why did you post this? its an official nintendo product that id imagine many other people in the scene have small piles of laying around like i do, so not exactly new info by any means

by the way: why would you want to use an oversized, heavy battery pack that supplies less than 1/3rd the battery life that a DMG can get off of 4 AA batteries?

I just thought it would be neat to share since it was still new in the package. I was super excited and none of my friends give a crap about Gameboy stuff so I figured I'd share it here. As for why I wanted it, I didn't have an AC adapter for my gameboy, and now I do. Plus with the 10 hours of gameplay I get with this, plus the 10–14 hours with the AA batteries, I can play unplugged for up to 24 hours. Great for long trips smile.

I differ. I've never seen or heard of anyone scoring one of these mint in the box.
I have one but definitely not like that. Props on the metroid poster... So jealous! Nice find man... Hope it wasn't a fortune.

Edit: oh and I use this to supply power to the dmg while I'm adding a backlight or something. Its actually very convenient. I just leave it plugged into the wall though.
