Wario Ware GBA battery consumption patch
This patch fixes Wario Ware (US version for GBA) so it doesn't eat batteries as quickly.

Re: Wario Ware GBA battery consumption patch
What does it modify, exactly? As I don't feel like messing up my ROMs or EFA Linker... That happened with Wario Land 4 and Sonic Advance 3, previously (I tried patching them with Boot-o-Mat Advance).
But I'm also really interested! =)

Re: Wario Ware GBA battery consumption patch
The game uses a dumb polling loop to wait for the next interrupt. This keeps the CPU running at 100% usage all the time. The patch changes the code so it uses a bios function to halt the CPU until the next interrupt, so it uses less battery power.
