If you had an old enough version of an old pop, those things were amazing to homebrew cause it took an incredibly simple hardware mix to open it up. You just severed one specific pin that was pretty easy to access.
I sure do remember that one. A lot of people didn’t want it to do it themselves and would buy those batteries. I think they called it Pandoras battery.
Pot dealer/psp modder/punk rocker/skater who grew up in the same bad neighborhood I ended out going to school in a but after my family moved made high school a pretty chill time for me. Jr High was rough but the last 3 years kinda ruled, not in a I peaked in high school way, it was just pretty drama free compared to what I was expecting and what other people dealt with. I just skated, went to shows, sometimes missed months cause I was playing in punk bands and going on tour and my parents god bless em would call in my absences as long as I kept passing and playing in bands and skating with grown ass adults made something click where I realized my teachers are also just regular people and it turns out you can just talk to them one on one and make some deals. I could barely every show up and just get a printout of the curriculum for the class and all the tests at once and then just have them around to consult when needed. For shit I was bad at I totally still had to show up to class and wouldn’t have passed otherwise but for stuff like English or social studies or whatever I was punching over my weight it was pretty easy to get accommodations. Especially cause it made me easy to grade cause I was passing shit in months ahead. I just wanted to be able to keep skipping school and taking trips to other towns to play shows and skateboard. I would not have been this good academically if it weren’t for that, staying on top of my school shit meant I could play ear splitting noise and do absurd amounts of drugs at a young age.
Ngl, I was nice. I then just did the punk rock stuff minus the school stuff and that was even more fun but I maybe should have kept the balance I had going instead of moetgaging my future. But based on what I’ve heard the people I went to school with who did try hard are mostly in the same place as me but with student loan debts, so I guess I did fine. I am for sure going to die at leat 20 years earlier than I would have otherwise and am picked up problems that are keeping thst steady and increasing that number. I’m getting there but it’d genuinely just not as fun

I think I recall that as well. Seems like it would be harder and riskier to replace a built in battery.
I think I also recall them being fatter than the original battery but I might be wrong
Never dealt with one. Being able to mod a system using random shit that was available in school got me paid tho
Sweet!
