Found this on AliExpress for £17, comes with a 8GB microSD filled to the brim with games. I feel like in my opinion that its too much for the money, but also, you could do it yourself on the cheap with a microSD to SD card adapter by swapping around the pins which is what this adapter is doing here. This will only work apparently as the description says with 3.70 or below.

Interesting find on AliExpress for £17. Thinking you could probably DIY it with a microSD to SD card adapter for less, but they mention it only works on 3.70 or below. Worth considering the pros and cons :)

You can make your own. I found an image on how to do it here:

In order for it to work though, you need to install the jailbreak firmware for 3.70 or below called "JailBreak_V0.4-5-gecf6931.img", which is based off firmware version 500a. Suppose you could also make a PCB with the pins swapped and add a microSD slot, which is what the manufacturer created. This specific adapter on the listing came originally with the NGX Tools package.

I’m confused. Do you mean DIY the microSD or DIY the games shown on the link? I don’t know if I’m familiar with any of them.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
