It varied, because you could get longer battery life by switching the screen to monochrome. What really sucked the battery life for me was the TV tuner.
@Reigam4 less than that, I never used batteries. what I used to do was play it through a car charger on long road trips. I would also play through adapter. I did not have TG16, only had the express.
but these days you can get a battery charger and just keep a dozen batteries around and just keep recharging them lol
virtual console will never have all the turboduo games and a lot of games will feature non-original sounds and graphic. it's different for a true retrogamer.
btw I'm playing pc engine games emulated on my gp2x right now, it's a superb handheld console for things like this!
