been looking at ways to power the vmu without the cr2032 battery because the life of 2 of them is so poor. i considered a 4x AA battery pack but decided to just mess with what i do have on hand without cannibalizing the kids toys for a battery pack. cant believe it worked, pretty sure im a volt short though but hey it works.
(edit: i know those arent wire nuts, and are actually for hanging stuff in dry wall. but its what i saw at the moment and it let me not cross the wires or touch them with my hand lol)

That's quite an innovative trick you did there.

Thanks. I'm just trying things to see what works before I do a more permanent mod. I'm going to try to do it without cutting the vmu. And I wanna get it eventually to take rechargeable 2032s that draws power from the dreamcast but I don't think the play time with those are great. Not that there are a great deal on things to do on the vmu anyway but still.

Cool! And that idea with the rechargeable 2032's is pretty neat.
