Hardware > Any way to tell how much batter life left in GBA

#18508 - dbeleznay - Sun Mar 28, 2004 3:53 am

Hi All,

I'm wondering if there is any way to tell how much battery life is left in the GBA ? Has anyone written any ROM's for this ? Or seen any functionality in the SDK's that would show this ?

I really hate it when my battery light comes on, and I'm too far from a save point :)

Thanks

Doug

Not too sure on this one, but i remember a game (zelda on gbc?) that knew when the battery was low so i assume there is a flag somewhere to say if the red light is on, but I doubt you can view it in percentages.
