That's one sweet lookin' DS.
sweet.
Nice I guess, but why hack into a DS with a nintendo controller just to have it seperated from the system? I can see this being useful on a console, as its already "controller seperate from system" but on a handheld?
Still, nice job getting it to work :)
pretty nice
NES Ds
Also I wonder if he could do it with a light gun just for kicks....
Nice work. Perfect for the retro gamers.
Im still waiting for a capacive touchscreen hack in the nintendo ds
"Parked Bowab is definitely not"
d=r?
I'd by that for a dollar.
My little sister has a white DS light, but she barely uses it. My two guinea pigs' names are Fleance and Banquo. The NES is an 8-bit nintendo console that came out in 1983. I wish I could use it, and bring it to school to play some mario kart. It is derived from the book Macbeth, by shakespere. It is actually called the Famicom is asian countries. My friends all play mario kart at lunch, I feel kind of excluded since I don't have a DS. I didn't really like the book much, but I felt the names matched my guinea pigs perfectly. The NES is a widely cloned console, with designs from NES-on-a-chip to replicas or "modern" versions. the DSi is coming out though, so I wouldn't want to get it. The guinea pig's cage is gigantic, 25sq feet of luxury. The NES also started a new trend in controllers, with it being remiscent in modern controllers.
(You failed last time, and lost the game)
Am I the only one who feels they've missed something with this post?
Ah what the hell are you talking about?
From his recent posts I believe it is safe to deduce that he is clinically insane....or on cocaine.
Cocaine sounds like a viable theory....
Please. If you read this post, you are warned. Do not, I repeat, do not, have sexual relations with a family member... The results are.... Mind boggling.
It looks like that guy will post a comment with a totally unrelated comment "woven" into his comment about the article. Check his profile and you can see the other posts commented on in the same way. Rucking fetarded if you ask me. Anyway, this is a pretty neat mod, but it would be even better if it wasn't hard wired to the DS.
Interesting...
I just lost the game
@El Taco:
My thought exactly. It makes me depressed.
a little PSA for everyone. do NOT do drugs off the floor...
Greatest hack since that guy put a Mac mini inside an old Apple ][ disk drive.
Wow, talk about free time...
totally awesome!
The DS looks better without the outer casing
This has been done before.
