I didn't think that I needed to post thread like these but here I am.

I have used the same type of batteries since I got my gp32.

And the first week I could play for about 4 hours on 160 mhz, but since yesterday the screen starts flickering and restart after 1-2 hour. And I play the same things as before.

It is pretty annoying.
 
That's called "Memory Effect" and comes from recharging the batteries. What kind of batteries do you use?
 
It doesn't have to do with the batteries I know now. I have checked all the batteries that I thought were out and they are fully charged.

I use some Sony alkaline batteries 1,5 v if that helps out.
 
what means "fully charged" for you???

due to "memory effect" batteries get fully charged but at a lower capacity every time you charge them.

Try with alkaline non-rechargeable batteries ... to be sure it's a batteries issue.

the batteries are non recharable. I mean that they have high capacity left, I checked in a battery tester.

And I don't know if it has to do with the batteries or something with my gp32.
 
Now it doesn't just resets wen starting the emulators, even the mp3 player resets after a while :( I tried to play in 133 mhz nowbut it just restarted
 
the batteries ain't dead cause i can have the firmware scren with PLAY and PCLINK on but as soon as I starta a app it freeze or resets.

And I have tried many new batteries.
 
The bios doesn't need much power.
Applications do.

My GP32 usually crashes while I access the SMC when the batteries are empty :)
 
Everything works now. I can't really explain what helped me cause I tried so many things. But thank you everyone
