r/NintendoDS

This is insane. So the story goes, back in 2005, christmas time, my mum told my dad to go and get me a gameboy for Christmas. My dad returned with this and my mum was furious as she thought it was a different console (she had bought a game already). My dad was able to convince her the sales guy (who was German, as we where stationed in germany at the time) had actually sold him the next "generation" and it could play the game my mum bought for it.

Christmas day, I unbox this with Mario Kart DS and I was hooked. I didn't stop playing it and, as you can tell, I decorated it with scooby christmas stickers.

Along comes boxing day, my brother decided he wanted in on my new DS and stole it from me. Upon being confronted, he smashed the top screen. I was devastated but my dad assured me he would get me another one, and he did. The second one is the DS I carried with me and still have.

I assumed this one was binned. 21 years later in a box, in the loft, I find it. Sitting alone in a crate. Sufficed to say, it needs the repair but we have a lot of catching up to do. The stickers are staying, its patina.

I found it like a little treasure in our house. All these years we’ve been living together, and my fiance forgot he even owned it. He had this as a teenager, and I never had one so I’m quite happy to use it. First game would be the only GTA release I haven’t played yet

Just want to show off one of the best games on the Nintendo DS.

​It is also one of only eleven games rated M for Mature (by the ESRB) available on the platform—which, mathematically speaking, makes up about 0.3379% of all physical retail NDS games catalogued globally (3,255 titles).

​If you haven't already played it, I implore you to do so. Consider this your sign. It's one of the most, if not the most, engaging experiences you can have on a dual-screen handheld with 4 MB of RAM from two decades ago. Undisputed proof that Rockstar has always been the GOAT.

Whats your guys favorite DS/3DS models? What’s the worst? If you can rank them too that’s perfect, I like to see what people’s preferences are.

I personally believe DSi XL is the best DS model and original 3DS is the perfect 3DS model. I appreciate the new 3ds lineups and 2ds’s too! (Original 2ds design was bold, felt like a modern day gameboy)

I’m trying to curate a collection at the moment so that picture gives an idea what models which Incase someone comes across and doesn’t understand which is which.

I have this ds lite which I have put a battery that I know works and charges in and it clearly is getting charge shown by the light. No matter how long I charge it for it won’t turn on. Is there anything that could be a potential quick fix once I open it up?

I really want to play this hack on my DSi (Twilight Menu++). Anyone had any success? Asking because I don't want my save file to get corrupted anywhere in the middle of my playthrough 🤧

Thanks in advance

My ds 3ds and gameboy game collectionis getting better! (Yes i know theres a couple of fake gba games)

Bought this for $4 in fb marketplace, Is this rare? haven't seen this before

I found my childhood DSI and discovered the left button and the sd card weren’t working.
Purchased a new ribbon. Installed it. Only the right button works still and the sd card still isn’t reading.

Buttons are clicking and no issues there

I had a reddish tint on my top screen. It bugged me cause the colour difference in the two screen. I had a doner with a broken bottom screen, top screen looked nice and neutral.

After replacement there is no change. The screen is still tinted after booted red but this odd thing happens

Upon start up the screen looks great, only after a few moments does screen turns bad and reddish?

Whats the go?

Is there a simple electric mod so i can charge it? I forgot to bring in vacations

Rocking my Nintenpod and my iDS :D

when i was younger, i had a hot pink dsi after my ds lite went kaput, but then by brother damaged it by eating ice cream while playing, and unfortunately I didn't think it could really be fixed so i tossed it. but now that i've been developing (slowly) my blue tech collection, having my 3ds since childhood, i finally bit the bullet after getting my ice blue ds lite 2 years ago by deciding to get the blue dsi! i absolutely adore this color so much and it's lighter than I remember. super excited to play on it!

Here's everything I have got so far
