Gameboy Dmg Resetting On It's Own

Rise From Your Grave: The Game Boy Interface The Game Boy Player (GBP) is a genuine Game Boy Advance (GBA) console that attaches to a Nintendo GameCube (NGC), It allows you to play Game Boy (DMG/MGB), Game Boy Color (GBC/CGB) and GBA games. The device fit on one of the expansion ports on the underside of the NGC and could be screwed into it. Powered by four AA batteries and lacking a backlit screen (unlike its rivals, the Sega Game Gear, Atari Lynx and PC Engine GT), the Game Boy is a good example of how Nintendo's savvy understanding. The buttons on my DMG aren't working!!! I've heard that it's possible to short the buttons within the CPU itself if the ribbon cable moves while the gameboy is.

OK, anyone who builds their GBZ will sooner or later come across the battery problem. My first build used a Samsung S2 battery which fit
  1. Jun 06, 2014  Game Boy Line Infopool: Gameboy Advance SP inside DMG-Housing. Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Arcade-TV, May 24. It integrated seemlessly into the dmg and it's so comfortable to solder to. After getting it working for my own SP DMG conversion using the original dmg volume wheel.
  2. Sep 07, 2011  It’s what drives car enthusiast to restore oldtimers. It’s incredibly rewarding and you learn a lot about the the engineering and product design of the machine at hand. It certainly made me appreciate the GameBoy classic a lot more. It’s probably not the most efficient way to get a mint GameBoy classis.
almost perfectly.
Some minor (yet still annoying) alterations are enough for it to fit, and if you add pogo pins you can have a very nice removable, super clean looking battery. But the S2 is from 2012 and the batteries may (or may not) be at the limit of their shelf life. The huge 4800mAh battery many of use have used is already out of stock in many places.
So, is there any other battery we could use? Something that may fit even better? It would be nice to a) find a battery that fits and b) find one that has a 'large' aftermarket version with 3000 mAh and more. I'll use this thread to collect battery dimensions and if anyone is willing to help or measure their own smartphone batteries, it's very welcome.
Gameboy DMG-01 Battery Cartridge Dimensions
It's by far harder to add a longer battery (first value) than a wide battery (second value). The long (~6 cm) S2 battery needs you to shave off parts of the GB shell, whereas you'd only need to cut off parts when adding a wide battery.
5,75 cm x 5,02 cm x 1,14 cm (default)
5,85 cm x 5,58 cm x 1,38 cm (max)
Battery dimensions
The dimensions are first results and should be rechecked. I also didn't check (yet) whether there's huge versions.
Probably a perfect fit:
