I'm thinking about fashioning something to fit inside of the item that comes on the DS lite and plugs the GBA slot. There's space inside of there, so I'm thinking something like a piece of foam could be put in there so I could slide in spare MicroSD cards.

Thoughts?

what would REALLY be cool is a dummy cartridge like the slot cover that comes with the dslite that has spring loaded transflash slots (3-4 of them) along the outer edge of the cover so you could just click in a card and click again to spring it out - similar to how loading and unloading a card from the R4 works...

Great idea!

But rather than fashioning some fancy piece of specialist hardware I would just wrap the microSD in thin foam and store it in the cover that comes with the DS Lite. Afterall, those things are tiny!! You should be able to fit a few in there

mflo, stfu.
If it's sarcasm, go away. it's a good idea and you haven't said shit about it before this.
If it isn't, may God bless your soul...

That is cool. I just gutted one of my xgflash carts. I could probably fit 10 of them in there. but they rattle , so like you others said, some foam is needed. No need to screw it back togethor, cause the gba slot keeps it nice and secure.

EDIT: Actually, it might be a good place to stash some bud on the go. Now how can I turn it into a pipe?

I think it would be really cool to see a commercially-produced (and commercial-quality) microSD holder for slot-2 in all the colors of the DS Lite rainbow (black/white/pink/navy/ice-blue). They could keep the part that's exposed when the holder is inserted in the DS Lite's slot-2 as a clean line, and have the plastic on either face of the cover have indented spots for microSD cards to fit into and lock into place -- you could easily fit five microSD cards on either side. Ten gigabytes of storage in slot-2, anyone?

That freaky shit would get me hard in the pants.

It could work, and using the current wasted space for storage of something is a good idea. I think the only question is who in their right mind needs more than one microSD? Or rather: what else would fit in there?

Who in their right mind?
Me.
People rarely scoff at a 20 gig Ipod, yet all they put on is music.
10 gigs of music, movies, comix, emulators and roms, home-brew apps and games on the go would be pretty damn handy.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
