    Gaming let's hear out whats your top 5 favorite games on DS

    9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors Dragon Quest IX Radiant Historia Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor The World Ends With You Have by no means played everything I want to yet, but all of those were awesome.

    Gaming The World Ends With You 'Attempt'

    I enjoyed the hell out of it. Complaints about graphics and sound are generally made of fail and stupid, particularly when it's regarding one of the small ratio of projects which actually try to determine their own style. This goes double when discussing a hand-held device. The battle system...

    Gaming The Best Arcade Type NDS Games?

    Inigo Montoya would like a word with you.

    Gaming Where can I buy this part? (Picture)

    I don't know what that part is. It's possible to repair these if there is not more systematic damage. However, there are two challenges first. 1. Identify the part. 2. Obtain the part. The first one could be tricky. I don't do enough SMD work to recognize it as something obvious or common...

    Hacking Noob Question Inbound

    SC DSTWO had an update to handle 1.4.1 within a day. Also if anything ever requires new firmware it only requires slot power not system recognition to run an update, whereas Ak2 may need to be updated on a non-DSi handheld before it will work again. That worth an extra $15 to you? Oh, and it...

    Nintendo blocks flashcards with DSi firmware 1.4.1

    Because there's that 1 in 1,000,000 chance that Nintendo might actually release a firmware which is worth downloading?

    Gaming New DSi firmware coming up???

    That thing is 90% just a plastic nub which keeps you from inserting 3DS cards into non-3DS slots.

    Gaming Housing Case for DS Lite

    They're okay. You'd sort of need to specify in order to get a more specific answer since they carry several. Were you looking at a specific one? Like any merchant (especially online) you'll probably have a more satisfactory experience if you understand the business you're dealing with and shape...

    Gaming Ouendan!!! Can't get the first badge in Kanto

    Apparently posting a link to reference material is unhelpful...while removing it is somehow helpful. Sorry dude, I tried. I'm confused. But good luck finding the flute.

    Gaming How Much Does a NDS game development cost?

    Working with an existing IP adds up front costs (and revenue sharing). There will also be some degree of them looking over your shoulder. Some are "here, run with it as long as you don't hurt the IP" and others are insanely strict to the point of making it difficult to develop a compelling game...

    Hacking The legality of flash carts in the USA...

    In the US, owning a flashcart is probably legal (AFAIK), buying one may or may not be (???), but using it probably isn't due to the DMCA and so forth. Even if you're just dumping your own stuff so you can run your library off a flashcart instead of swapping. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to...

    Gaming Would you have bought your DS...

    Probably. But I would likely have waited several years longer since I'm a poor student, and bought only used games (which as you may know profit Nintendo and other producers exactly not at all). The high cost of new games and the statistical improbability of a given game being worth it don't...

    Gaming The DSi, after the 3DS

    I don't want people to think an XL now is a bad buy. Or any other DS really. It will almost certainly still be an active platform. You are only missing out on 3DS game compatibility, and maybe not always that either. The 3DS vs. DS issue depends on developer response, there is minimal...

    Gaming The DSi, after the 3DS

    Side note, I would recommend the 3DS over a DSi (but not necessarily XL) irrespective of 3D aspects. Once it's out, anyway. Why? WPA support. It works on a modern wireless network.
