I found these shells a while back and was quite intrigued:

Has anybody tried them? If so, are they good quality? I like the idea of having a customised DS but I don't want something that feels obviously third party (ie/ flimsy!).

The chrome one looks really smart!

I have the navy blue and I coupled it with my original white. I'll just say this.. You'll be completely dissapointed in the case until it's all together. After it's together, it ends up looking pretty nice and professional.

I have the navy blue, as I said in another thread, they're crap. The one I got to replace my white ds got a crack in like 3 weeks on the right hinge. Also, they're just the clear ones painted, painted poorly... very poorly. If you hold it up to light you can see through the casing. If you're going to spend 40$ on it, it's way better to buy Spray Painting for Dummies or something, buy paint and do it yourself. I am really disappointed with my purchase, and I am back to me old white ds lite shell.

Oh well. That seems like a fairly resounding no, then?!

Kenzya - Hows the paint job on yours? By the osunds of it you've lucked out!

@ TheBlueStylus: I'm sorry you've been ripped off. There's nothing worse than being excited about getting something cool and it turning out to be shite. The last time that happened to me it was Lego Starwars 2 on the DS...

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
