I was thinking the other day that DSi and especially XL were unfortunate in that they were missing a Slot 2, specifically for the few add-ons out there. I'm playing such a game now (slide adventure magkid) and finding that the add-on is great, but the screen bugs me. Call me a complainer, but I recently got a DSi XL, and I am spoiled by the quality of those IPS screens. I wish that I could play that game on the XL.
I guess my curiosity is to see my idea proven that it can't work, so that I can accept it and move on, but basically, is there any way to put a slot 2 on a DSi? Does it have any vestigal elements capable of accepting the same signals, or would it be a lost cause?
The only other thought I had was, if you can't put a slot 2 on a DSi, maybe you could either
A) put a DS Lite's internals into a DSi, hook it up to the IPS screens, and dig out a hole in the case for slot 2
B) probably simpler, put IPS screens in a DS Lite (maybe DSi (not XL) screens would fit okay?)
So what does it be, just an idle fantasy or something more? That being, either improving the DS lite's screens, or adding a slot 2 to a DSi, or moving a DS Lite's internals into a DSi.
