I looked into it. It's random. It's just something they say. If you still don't believe me, you can waste your time looking into it too.

I should get back to Wario Ware now.

I'll give up too, feel free to put this in the trash section if you want because i see i annoyed you. At least i found unused Stuff in Game and Watch Gallery 4 that actually IS unused other than the two pointless ideas i've posted here. I'll have to Triple Check or Quadruple Check the stuff or something. I'm going to check Felix the Cat (Gameboy) for Glitterberri and hopefully this won't happen again (A.k.a. I probably won't find anything).

There may very well be unused content in these game and they should be looked into. The annoyance was at your unwillingness to believe me. But that should not stop you from looking for other potentially unused content. Don't start getting pessimistic over a couple of wild goose chases. The point of this forum is so information gets passed around and checked before being added to the wiki.

Just don't question me.

I'm not talking about run out batteries, i'm talking about DEAD ones as in completely unworking.
You want to play the game on a GBA with a completely dead battery? How do you intend to make that work, exactly?

Well, I realised its not the Gba battery its talking about but one inside the cartridge. These batteries keep the Save file stored and if its Dry (dead) games can't be saved. These ones can be replaced by anyone that can unscrew the special screws the cartridges use. I probably should do some more research on the consoles themselves. And just so every can remember too, The Gba battery is for Clocks and Sleep-Mode while there is one in the cartridge for the saves themselves.

I think you're still a bit confused.

GBA carts can have either:

- a lithium battery, for running clocks or retaining saved data in a RAM chip when the cart is removed, OR
- a flash/EEPROM chip, which cannot run a clock, but can retain saved data without the need for a battery

Games are incapable of measuring the strength of this battery, aside from "dead" or "alive" (and even then, they base the "dead" status on the absence or corruption of certain data in RAM when you boot the game, not on a direct reading of the battery itself).

The GBA itself runs on either AA batteries (original GBA) OR an internal rechargeable battery pack (GBA SP and Micro), which is ONLY used to play games, and to retain data in RAM while the system is in sleep mode. Again, games are incapable of measuring this battery; the green/red power LED is handled by circuitry that is completely invisible to the system. The GBA has no other internal batteries for running clocks or any other nonsense.

Do you understand now?

Also, cartridge batteries can't just be "replaced by anyone" with a screwdriver; they use specially sized batteries with tabs welded on, which are soldered directly to the PCB. You'd need both a suitable replacement battery and some decent soldering skills to replace one, which is something not just "anyone" can do.

Or you can pry the old battery off of the tabs and tape a new one to the tabs. It's a lot easier that way.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
