I actually believe the problem is that your batteries are going dry. The EMS cartridge draws more current than other cartridges, so even though your Gameboy might work fine with a game cartridge, the EMS cartridge might fail for this reason.
My advice would be to change to fresh batteries and also to look for corrosion on the battery contacts. If they're clean and the problem persists even with fresh batteries, you might look into the possibility of a faulty cartridge.

Topic: Want to borrow: Bung Xchanger (3 replies, posted in Trading Post)
I may soon be interested in borrowing a Bung Xchanger for reverse engineering. (Or if you want to donate, if you feel particularly inclined.) I can not offer monetary compensation at this point, but if you're actually using the Xchanger and need a replacement I can lend you a USB flasher. (Similar to the Bleepbloop flasher.)

I'm moving this to the trade post. And even with this arrangement, the rules stipulate that you need to indicate a price for the item.

Re: Removing the Gameboy Logo (6 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
If you're ok with some minor visible markings where the logo were, try some light scraping with a flathead screwdriver or a white cotton cloth with some acetone on it. Don't wet the cloth with too much acetone, as to avoid dripping onto the screen cover edge, which might dissolve the glue.

Re: Screen Recovery..? (10 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Nope. It's fucked. The connector on the right side of the screen is a different type of plastic, and if you apply heat to it, well, that happens.

Pretty sure he meant that the blue shell and yellow backlight is a reference to the flag.

Re: LSDJ's behavioral change after the death of batteries. (3 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
What has happened is that the key repeat value value is set to a value higher than the normally allowed range. Normally you can set it up to 15 frames. (1 frame=1/60 second) Now it might be say 100 frames. One way to fix this is to decrease the value until it's down in the normal range. You can do this holding A and repeatedly tapping down and/or left until the values are down in the normal range. You will probably have to do this many times. The value will go down to 0 and wrap around a couple of times.
If you're able to back up the save and edit it in a hex editor, change byte 3FBA to 7 and 3FBB to 2 and the problem should go away.

To anyone who might be wondering, the version of LittleFM that is publicly available does not work with derp. It's all working, but I need to finish the script for patching an LSDj ROM before I feel comfortable releasing it.

That one's easy at least. You can click the subscribe link in any thread. But that's boring, so you can also click profile in the top menu, then settings and select "Subscribe to topics by default when posting."

Another idea I had was to be able to delete forum topics altogether, rather than just closing them. It would also be awesome to be able to delete individual posts in forums.
Regular members can do neither, and will never be able to. It's too easy to abuse. Troll the forums like crazy, then just delete everything and pretend like nothing happened.

I remember when Myspace was all like this. Then you could at least use a Myspace account ironically. Now... Myspace is like any other online service, just worse.
