Oh and here's my fanboy comment: "Now if Sony would only copy the DS and make games people actually want to play."

But there are lots of people who don't mind reruns after ruruns after reruns ... may it be tv shows or games ... so there is a market for the PSP ... at least in the land of the brainless ...]]>Jul 11th 2006 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 11th 2006 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 11th 2006 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
I guess that's why Quake, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Eternal Darkness, the Resident Evil series, Metal Gear Solid (Twin Snakes) and many many more "adult" games have been made or remade for Nintendo systems. Shut your mouth.]]>Jul 11th 2006 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 11th 2006 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
People get all wrapped up in having their games looking good and forget about having fun sometimes.

My two cents.

btw: I own a PSP and a Nintendo DS and I like both of them, they're both great devices.. just for different things.]]>Jul 11th 2006 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 11th 2006 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/sorry, had to.]]>Jul 11th 2006 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/

Why do you buy a camera? To take photos.

Please get it straight, and stop mixing phones and cameras, and all that stuff..gosh.]]>Jul 11th 2006 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/I had one.

Prove me wrong,]]>Jul 11th 2006 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
These camera attachments for both are both stupid; PSP and DS alike!

Good thing DS cartridges can save games cuz that's one UGLY memory add-on]]>Jul 11th 2006 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
Please tell me how a wobbly circuit board with a camera soldered to it sticking out of the back of a little tiny handheld with an equally too-large cartridge hanging out of the front qualifies as style.]]>Jul 11th 2006 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 12th 2006 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
There's a reason the bitrate is so slow. The camera is designed to output a raw, low-level flexible serial protocol. It outputs a single bit at a nominal 3.3v, on one edge of a clock sourced by the host device.

In this design, the clock is generated by, and the data is read by bit banging. The IOs are used as general purpose IOs, and programmed and read by the CPU, then the data is deserialized in software, and then whatever else has to be done to recover the video stream.

Bit-banging is not fast. At all. A productized version of this would likely connect to the GBA slot, and leave the DS slot available. Data rate wouldn't be a problem then.]]>Jul 12th 2006 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
i'm still looking for the cheapest possible digital stereoscopic camera... this one seems pretty damn cheap. :)]]>Jul 12th 2006 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
:P

(i dont own either, and i dont really care about fanboyisms.)]]>Jul 12th 2006 12:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
Anyway, that camera is ugly, and as already said, totaly off the point of any device but a dedicated camera. But it's a nice display of how hackable the DS is. It's a lowlevel device and as such you can do some pretty crazy things with it. GPS on it has been done some time ago. Who knows what crazy stuff people will come up with. So, pointless or not, it's a great hack.

And yeah, the PSP sucks :P

The only game in the DS that actually held my interest for more than three days is Animal Crossing:WW. The rest got boring and now there hasnt been any new good games out! >:(

Let me visit our AC town!!! I need more diff. fruits!!]]>Jul 12th 2006 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 12th 2006 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 12th 2006 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
I think both sides would be embarassed to have some of you supporting them.]]>Jul 12th 2006 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 12th 2006 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/]]>Jul 12th 2006 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 12th 2006 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 12th 2006 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/
And yeah, the camera is pointless. Obviously this guy had a working camera before he made the DS version, and he might as well have just stuck with what he had. A DS can do nothing with a picture that a regular camera can't, and seems like a completely spur-of-the-moment project.]]>Jul 13th 2006 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Jul 27th 2006 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/11/diy-camera-for-the-nintendo-ds/Dec 9th 2007 10:48PM
