The Nintendo DS thread v.2

This thread is for discussing the Nintendo DS, it’s games, features, thoughts, etc.

The old one was getting too big, so it’s been closed and a new one has been started.

The old thread will be deleted by the end of the weekend so if there is something in that thread that you’d like to save, please do it ASAP.

i heard one time that you can put opera on the ds, how?

You got to buy the web browser, it hasn’t come out yet in the states though, still being plan for release…

Uhh, if you got a flash cart you can get a homebrew to get an internet browser, RSS/mail client and AIM on your DS.

that sounds crazy il check it out

I just wished the DS had WPA support. When I got my DS, I was only able to use the wireless around campus for a week before they swithed it from WEP to WPA. Tetris on WiFi was so addictive, too.

slightly more details plz. I tried that DSaim thing, was not too impressed…

How long ago did you try to use the DSaim? They have a newer version out, sorta like AIM for PSP only not nearly as glitchy imo.

For anyone thinking about buying a flash cart I’d recommend a slot-1 flash cart (it goes into the DS cartridge slot.) they have other flash carts out there such as nopass devices, basically it’s a GBA cart you put into your DS, but you need a nopass device that goes into the DS slot so it tricks your DS into loading the game from the GBA slot.

All and all, DS homebrew’s on the rise as far as I can see, the DSaim is actually fairly decent now.

Hmm…I’ve officially beat Custom Robo DS. I want to try it online but I’m a bit intimidated…I don’t know why but I’m still traumatized by how fucking shitty Jump Ultimate Stars is online…NEVER AGAIN.

Custom Robo DS on wifi can be pretty fun or rather dumb. it’s only dumb when your matched up against some nub that does nothing but gun spam all day until you get knocked down then starts spamming the charge attack, also people with laggy connections kills the fun too.

imo stay the hell away from the random wifi matches with Custom Robo, and find a friend or 2 and just swap FC’s.

subbing

So, I finally started taking Phoenix Wright a lot more seriously(due to other games being in the way) and it is quite good. Probably the most fun I’ve had with a DS game in a good while. I have the sequel waiting there as well and I’m looking to buy Touch Detective.

buy that shit, i have it and i think it’s a great quirky little game. :tup:

the sequel has also been announced. no word on overseas release yet though.

im thinking off getting a DS, does the DS emulator friendly? i mostly just want to play SNES games.

are there any games on the wii yet that also incorporate the ds?

I remember reading about it and that there’s a select list of games that you can play. I’m not sure about it now cause of the new slot 1 stuff but it might have gotten better.

The PSP is far superior in this department

snes emulation is getting better and better. I’ts not psp standard yet but it’s reaching. Don’t worry, you still have a few thousand gba/ds games to play while you wait!

I’m down to play ya, i havent played in a while. I dont have any illegal parts yet, so count me out for those types of matches, but otherwise i’m down. Don’t be expecting a pro, drop me a PM or IM

Not yet, supposedly Pokemon Battle Revolution will be the first, and is scheduled for an early summer release in the states (Late June I think). It hooks up with DIamond and Pearl so your teams from there can fight in it.

Also be sure to check out Hotel Dusk. Great game, it draws you in with an amazing story and a nice break from Phoenix Wright (which I love) that can be slightly over the top at times.
