My working theory is the replacements were a) probably old stock from the 2000s so aging more and b) more likely to have a decent capacity so more battery juice to go bad
Whereas the ones bundled with the cheap consoles would be newly manufactured but probably mostly lemon juice and toilet paper inside
Recently I've been going through my collection of consoles (as in, clones, plug n plays, all in one handhelds, emu machines, not the "proper" ones) taking an inventory and also checking on the batteries... Found two swollen ones so far
The interesting thing though is both of those are aftermarket replacements that I bought to replace low capacity originals (these consoles often use Nokia or GBASP battery clones so easy to replace), none of the originals seem to have gone bad so far

Hey friends, it's hard to write this, but it's time to retire botsin.space. I wrote a post about it here: https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/
TLDR the site will go read-only on or around December 15th.
I'm so thankful for all the support and good times here ❤️ thanks everyone

New "byte"-sized blog post! Check out the first mapper for the Famicom, whose bytes are in a weird order. No seriously that's all it is https://nicole.express/2024/city-disconnection.html

Can anyone find any information about the Renesas "R8J" series ICs? Specifically looking for which instruction set they might be using, but other information would also be useful.
Can find barely anything online about these.
