perhaps you can get a shell, like the shock cases, i'm pretty sure they have a blue one, other than the artic blue, but anyways, ebay isn't the safest, ill see if i can get it.

This way, you can get a new ds for yourself, and put the shell on your ds, that way you aren't ripped off by a guy on ebay!

Edit: http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/search.html try that!

The DS is not region specific. Any DS can play any game from any region. NTSC refers to a tv format used in the US and Japan (and probably other areas as well)

Haven't thought it all the way through on the slot 1 device...knowing me i'm going to read a few reviews from this site and take it from there...i have a m3 lite and a passcard for my black DS...seeing as i'm the one who plays gba games there is no need for me to get any such slot 2 device for her...

Yes, you can.Â

Which slot 1 are you gonna get? Cuz right now all the rage is about the R4 and the CycloDS Evo.
I'm guessing you don't know much about flashcarts? There is NO rage for neither Cyclo nor R4. If we are a somebody who knows somebody who knows people, you can snicker to yourself about the Acekard RPG.

I bought one from Play-Asia.com and when it broke, I could not return it (it cost 125 dollars to ship from US to Japan!).

But, if you're set on a Navy DS Lite. Buy the Shock case and, unless you're experienced at taking them apart, ask for professional help (as, taking the NDS Lite apart is a pain in the ass).

Oh my god this thread is full of fanboy "buy the cart I've got!" idiots

Try reading the reviews as a starting point to see which one sounds good to you, then check out the individual cart forums to get an idea of the common problems with each one. Very few people have tried more than one of the carts so it's hard to get an accurate comparison by just asking.

As for the Navy DS, fitting a shock! case will void the warranty so it might be worth waiting until the DS is over a year old (nothing to lose then

Honestly, I don't see the point of changing the case.
There's always a chance of fucking your DS Lite up.

You should keep your DS as it is, it's not jewelry - it's a handheld video game console.

Since the OP asked about which slot 1 device to get, I'm going to suggest the R4 as well. I've only ever used at SuperKey/SuperCard SD combo other than my R4, so I can't give any comparison details between the R4 and other slot 1 devices. I just purchased my second R4 for my Crimson/Black DSLite, so I had the option to check them all out before making this purchase. Out of them all, I chose the R4 because of it's great compatibility, great support, price, ease of use, and experience with the product.

I'm certainly not a fanboy, and given the chance to work with another slot 1 device, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Since I didn't want to take the chance of not being happy with something else though, I went with another R4.

There are all positive and negative aspects of each homebrew device. I really depends on what features one whats. There are options between slot 2 vs slot 1, external vs internal memory, and features vs compatibility. As people have stated before do some research find out what features you want and make your own decision.

    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
