DS Lite?

Will · 31-05-2007, 13:41

I've received a voucher for a 50% reduction for a DS Lite - I got it through an online business account we have at work - should I get one? Are they worthwhile? I had a play on a friend's one recently and I have to say it brought me back to the gameboy days (just a bit more fun

) and I was quite impressed. Apparently it's a lot more versatile than being *just* a hand held console? Is that right? You can also be naughty and download games and store them on a card?

Anyway, I've got a few days to make up my mind, or I can just get credit on our account... It's a gadget, and I love gadgets, but will I use it and become addicted to it? Is it actually as good as my impression of it was very briefly? Or am I just craving gadgets?

It is good (we have one each), you can download games and play them off a memory card (have to buy a couple of bits), and yes, they're great fun

I'd go for it at that price

You can indeed play downloaded games as well as homebrew stuff (Including some applications) with the smartcard and cartridge. Burble will be an expert on that as it was him that converted us lot

Its a cracking bit of kit. The best bit of tech I have brought in years bar none. I mainly use mine to keep me occupied on the train and its great at that, with the suspend feature its excellent. Ie start playing a long mario level close, then reopen a few hours later at the exact same point.

The cards were £50 to download all the games onto. Once you have done that check out btemuparadise.org for the nds games. You can get it to play mp3's and there is a web browser to connect via wireless. I haven't tried this though so I can't comment on quality.

The last handheld I thought was any good was the original gameboy/ gamegear. I never bothered getting another one till I thought blow it and brought one at kidderminster. I challenge you to play osu! tutakae! ouden! and not burst out laughing at random points

Ahh ok - I shall bug him about it then

Hmmm very tempted! Dammit....

btemuparadise.org doesn't seem to work, but I've found: http://www.nintendo-ds-roms.com ?

Right... time to pester Burble!

eek, its gone down. It was there fine the other week. The address is actually emuparadise.org. The torrent tracker is bt.emuparadise.org:8889

There might be server issues as its been there for years. Infact just go to somewhere like btjunkie and search for "nds roms"

Will · 31-05-2007, 14:49

Right... that's it... it's bought! I've spoken to Paul and I've got myself all the accessories I need too!

There goes my free time!

Desmo is the one to speak to supercards and stuff. I got it work for Kitten with his help so will gladly lend any assistance I can.

You should use your spare time wisely, not playing silly games.... did I mention it's my birthday in a couple of weeks!
