I pro-sounded and backlit my DMG, and has been working fine(ish) until recently. There's been some wavering of lcd contrast/led brightness since the beginning (not a regulated power source. Looked that up, found it out.), but now LSDJ is crashing whenever anything processor intensive is going on. (e.g. editing tables during playback, editing chains during playback).
Not only this, but for some reason my backlit DMG can only load the LSDJ cart (EMS) and some of the 'older' games I have. Such as tetris, yoshi, and pac-man. Anything like Link's awakening or pokemon gold/silver just stays in a bootloop.
The carts definetely work, as I have a vanilla DMG which plays them just fine.
Long story short, does the LCD being wired to an unregulated power source have any correlation with game crashing? I need to know before I do any rewiring, as the cables will have to be lengthened and insulated and stuff.
It may be fixable if I just replace the batteries before they get low (as I'm suspecting atm), but that's not a REAL fix.
Anyone know anything about this?
