Hacking Is the nds and ds lite screen the same size?

[TheBuzzer]

I am going to buy screen protectors. I am wondering are the screen size the same l*w for both systems or is there a difference because I bought a old nds phat and when I search for screen protectors I get mostly for nds lite.

you'll be wondering why the DS Lite protectors for the touchscreen is a little bit bigger for the original ds. though you should insert a little portion of the protector on the original ds touchscreen. they're the same size if you open the original ds's bottom half

there's a product with both the ds and ds lite screen protectors for US$4.99 (not sure for the price) in walmart as it's the one my aunt sent to me here in the philippines. it's very smooth after intense Ouendan/EBA playing. you can scratch it all you want and just apply a soaked cloth and they're gone.

so your saying the screen size is the same but the casing around the screen covers the screen differently?

yup. if it's your first time to apply the ds lite screen on an original ds, you will need to insert the left or right portion of the protector and start applying it. the original ds touchscreen is actually bigger than the ones you often see when you open the unit

these are my DS's
