r/NintendoDS

I'll be honest and the truth is I'm very happy, I'll explain.

My DS Lite charger, died a few weeks ago, And I really didn't want to buy a new one, so I thought, what if I modify it? And that's what I did; I took an old USB cable that still worked, So I cut it in half, stripped it, and revealed the two wires, the same with the DS one, red to red, black to white, and it worked!

(Edit: For anyone who asks about it, yes, I already unplugged it, I don't have any Electrical tape with me right now, I have some things to do tomorrow, I'll buy what's needed and fix that mess, that photograph was just a test to see if it works)

I made a custom shell of Kingdom hearts for the outside

But I cannot find a good theme that WORKS and I genuinely need help finding one

Hi guys, I posted a couple of years ago about playing PSX games on the DS by running the Linux port on the DSTWO card and using the PSX4All emulator from there. Well, I’ve taken it a step further and adapted a different emulator.... PCSX4all that had never been ported to the DSTWO. This version has sound, and I’m continuing to optimise it to get the best possible performance before releasing it. What do you think? :)

I love DQIX and wanted to get back into it, but I remembered that it also had an online store (DQVC) in-game. I googled around for a bit and found out that you can host that for yourself, so I did! Image is me connecting to the shop successfully for the first time!

Edit: to explain how I set this up, here a short summary:

The server runs on Proxmox and is split into two services: an OpenWrt VM and a Debian LXC container hosting the DQIX service. The service is based on DaisukeDaisuke's project "dq9_micro_dwc_server_emulator.cpp". A USB Wi-Fi adapter based on the Atheros AR9271 chipset (hard to recommend a specific one. I got some chinese model from Amazon. Just make sure it really is the chipset you want before the return period runs out) is passed through to OpenWrt, which provides a DS-compatible 2.4 GHz legacy Wi-Fi network. Otherwise, without that, you cannot connect a DS to it.

The DS connects to that network, and custom DNS redirection makes the game’s old Nintendo WFC/DQIX hostnames resolve to my local server instead of the original discontinued address. The Debian container serves the expected DQIX/DQVC responses, so the game can retrieve shop data like it could back in the day.

If you want to rebuild that: ...don't ask me. Most of this stuff was done by a friend who works as a software engineer. However, if you put the description of my setup into something like ChatGPT, I'm sure it'll walk you through the setup as well.

Any game recs?

Só yes, I'm the only one who wants to connect his old NDS lite to internet, but I just get this. Any tip or way to get it?

Super excited for it to arrive because ill be able to play Mario party again with other people😛

i currently own a dsi and a 3ds👍i own multiple so I can make other people irl play games with me :)

Looking to get a brand new factory sealed DS lite. Only two colors that still are available in that condition are silver and crimson. Can’t decide which one to get.

My ds pico isnt registering on the system and it says no ds card inserted. My sd card is set up correctly and my card is flashed.
