you will have to get a new screen\top... ebay should be your friend, but there are stores (and i seen some flashcart stores) selling the screens...
but best option you should buy a dsi that doesn't turn on that has the screens fine, so you can put your board on it, or exchange the screen

the console will not work without both screens..
there are some people who modded a ds lite to get rid of one screen, but you need to solder some components, i think it was a resistor, but i am not sure... and i don't know where exactly. but you need someone with experience to repair electronics..

btw aren't photos saved to the sd card?

Internal storage is also an option for photo storage, but yeah, they may be stored on the SD card as well.

@OP Yeah, you'll have to get a new top screen. As far as I know, a single screen mod for the DSi does not exist, otherwise send it to Nintendo, pay for the cost of the repairs, or hope they can recover the photos.

    So true

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
