I never played original Metroid on NES, so I don't know, but there's a major slowing down during the Metroid scene when many Metroid spirtes come at once. The flashing and slowing down is real. This is evident throughout the game, but I think it's the most visible there.
Can anyone recall if this happened on real NES hardware as well?
It's been about a year and a half since I bought 2 new LP-E6NH batteries. One came with R7, the other I bought separately. I didn't use the camera as much as I hoped - far less than before and when I turned the camera yesterday I noticed that both of these batteries have 2 bars for recharge performance. One bar went away just like that.
I have a hard time believing this is accurate. It's almost like they were programmed to lower their recharge performance at the exact date.
I made sure that each of these batteries remain charged, as I recharged them every 2-3 months, even if I didn't use the camera.
I also remember the time when I had regular LP-E6 batteries whose R. performance lasted years. And I mean literal years on 3 bars, with a heavy camera usage, as I was doing heavy stock photography back then.
Any clue on this? Does RP actually mean anything - are those bars made for batteries to die more quickly so we can buy new ones?
