The circuit could be modified for use with a GBC/MGB, I'm pretty sure. I personally would have done the circuit a little differently. It now connects just to the battery terminals. I would have used three terminals, ground, regulated +5V Vcc and the sense voltage. The sense voltage trigger point could then be set to something suitable for either a DMG or a GBC/MGB (something using only two 1.5 V batteries).

The problem then becomes fitting the board inside a GBC/MGB. And speaking of that, unless that board is single-sided, it could be made more space-efficient by placing components on both sides of the board. Though that might be problematic when you're going to mount it, but yeah, might be beneficial for the smaller 'boys. But this is just turning into a technical review of the batt_dmg.

You could likely not use an indicator from a GBA SP, as it's probably made using a Li ion battery charging chip which has an internal voltage reference made for that battery chemistry. This mean the threshold for a low voltage is likely set higher than the voltage of two AA/AAA, ie two AA/AAA will always detect as being low. Not to mention that it's easier to design a simple circuit from scratch than it is to reverse engineer the GBA SP's.

Same with the GBA's, which is using AA batteries, but the indicator circuit is likely integrated into the voltage converter.

Did you understand what I meant by the resistors? Do you need an image explaining what I mean?

Someone made it to ridicule hime, and I guess he's taking pride in that notoriety.

And sorry, shawn. This was fun while it lasted. Let's now move on.

This hereby officially only allowed if you pay for it with Dogecoin.

Before possibly wasting your time/money, could you please look inside, take a photo of the board, and note what is written on the chips that are on there?

Unfortunately, the short answer is no. EPROM chips typically require a high voltage (around 12V, compared to the 5V for that the GB is using.) to be present, and that has to be generated somehow. Aside from the practical difficulty of doing this (This might be done with an extra adapter board sitting between the flasher and the cart containing a voltage boost circuit for example.) it might be impossible to this programming in-place on the cartridge. For example, the programming pin may not be routed to the cartridge connector, or it may be shared with one of the other pins, and connected in parallel with the memory bank controller chip in such a way that the MBC would be destroyed.

I think PayPal disputes are automatic, and that you shouldn't manually return money by making another payment. Assuming that's what you did.

Yeah, no, whatever.
