You don´t own a Pokemon mini or Wonderswan(, no backlight either).
Great to hear somebody enjoy a system and be proud to own it. I never played the thing. Would like to have it though!
I don't know how long a Wonderswan actually lasts, but it lasts a lot and IIRC on a *single* AA.

Also, what's this about a CR2032 lasting several years? I have mine run out every few months, and even when I leave them in a Dreamcast VMU that is turned off, they only last 2 weeks, tops. I never really understood that.
I think ReddMcKnight meant the CR2032 in the Neo Geo. Used just for memory backup.
Agree, crappy as a main battery for the Dreamcast VMU.
Indeed. If a CR2032 is only holding your CMOS data in your PC or keeping the clock and some small memory in a system, it will last a long time especially if the system is powered up often. VMUs are odd and use a lot of power and kill them quickly. I could understand if you were carrying the VMU around and playing with it, but it doesn't make sense if you always have it plugged into your controller and only use it with the system.

It actually would equal about the same as an NGPC; the Wonderswan gets about 20 hours off 1 AA. That also reminds me, I have to update my systems list in my signature; I got a Wonderswan Color and CD-i recently.
