Just to keep the chat levels up high and great, I want to announce that I gave the GBA battery life a test over past week, on both GBA games and GB games, here are my results:
GBA plus playing with one GBA Game: 15.32mins
GBA with GB game (terminator 2): 17:12mins
Both tests were carried out with brand new duracell batteries, and the console was played for without the use of the pause button, basically moving screen. I also noticed that the GBA battery light warns you exactly when it is dead by completly disappering for five minutes, then your console just turns off. Don't get worried whent the LED goes red, you sill have about another 3 hours and it has to disappear for it to turn off.
Hope this helps anyone.
Thanks

That rules. Keeps getting better. God bless you Nintendo and your hand helds..
Try the same test with the Gameboy game on the Gameboy color with the same brand/type batteries.
Then we'll see how big a difference there really is between the battery life of the 2 consoles.

Don't you mean 15.32 hours? :0)
Don't be so picky!
Eidos were screwing today, Microsoft gave of some really bad excuses about why the final development kit hadn't arrived, or even been sent... looks like it has happened across the globe as well. Well if Microsoft don't want games!
