“first nintendo device that they’ve taken apart that didn’t require a tri-wing screwdriver.”

Guess they never took apart a Nintendo Entertainment System.

afaik the N64, GC, and Wii all have a sort of hex screw, so I think they meant handheld…

Does anyone have a list of DSi-compatible flash carts?

Posted at 6:38 pm on Apr 7th, 2009 by xoring

Here’s my list of DSi flash carts:
Acekard 2i
DSTTi (or something like that.)

Annnnd that’s it. I already ordered my Acekard 2i, and I just bought the DSi today. (Microphone doesn’t work, but I don’t especially care.)

What’s up with the poor resolution camera? Every ad I have seen for this thing is showing the picture editing capability. I can’t imagine that a 2 mega pixel camera would change the price by much, they are being used in every cell phone you get these days…

The DSi screen resolution is 256×192 anyway so it is pointless to think a higher resolution camera would do any difference.

ArtemisGoldfish : some games like Zelda Phantom Hourglass require the use of the mic.

yeah, but the computer, or even iphone, you might send a picture to will have a larger screen

Does anyone know if the DSi USA versions are region locked for games? I live in Japan, and wanted to get a Japanese DSi until I heard they just got released in the US- there’s a fantastic Japanese game called “bimoji training” that teaches you how to most aesthetically and properly write Japanese with a brush- it comes with a special stylus.

If that would work on a US version DSi, even with a special chip, I’d wait. Anyone know?

The Nintendo DSi is supposed to be region locked.

Posted at 11:11 am on Apr 8th, 2009 by mike

Only the DSI downloads are region-locked. The DS games are not.

Since this is still recent news, I’ve been looking since I posted yesterday- there are indeed some articles stating what you said alex- things that are hardware dependant are region locked, but the games themselves aren’t, at least that’s what I’m hearing so far.

So this is great news- I should be able to order my game from Amazon Japan or something, and play it on a US DSi, when I have more money! Yea!

This was, in my opinion, a good move on the part of Nintendo (at least, if it holds). There are plenty of people who can understand Japanese abroad, and love games.

I love how they kept the original Nintendo logo on the ARM CPU chip.

@_matt: can’t speak about the GC or N64, but the Wii definitely has screws that need a tri-wing screwdriver. You can usually manage to get it if you have a flat screwdriver that’s the right size to fit into one wing of the slot, but it’s much easier with a proper tri-wing.

@matt they weren’t even hex screws, they were a proprietary screw bit that the snes,n64, sega Genesis, etc used for security purposes. You usually have to go online to find the bit.

I’ve just putt a random memory card stick in my brand new DSi (sony card) and my DSi can now recieve radio transmissions.Also,the memory card allowed me to load all NDS and GBA roms… which is odd.

Posted at 5:25 pm on Apr 16th, 2009 by Peniledik

weird… I can load all the roms as if the games were original from a local-brand SD card named; Kurac-Pizda (KP)23i …it sells for like 5 EUR. Kurba from KP sucks big time.I suggest the 23i for all of you. go to google and search for Kurac Pizda 23

Hi,

Was wondering if some one has developed any software to run on a pc or wireless access point to “broadcast / bridge” pictoChat packages to some kind of public community for world wide chatting or similar. or to extend local DS games WW?

I’m so unimpressed of those friend codes and the unavailability to chat/play and challange people from all over the world in games and chatting!

Would be nice to have a messenger like sw and public chat rooms…..

Posted at 7:16 am on Jun 24th, 2009 by J

Is there any DS game supporting multi users online, where you could chat and team up online in games?

Would be fun if there was some kind of “SecondLife” or “Battle field” multiuser game

Posted at 7:19 am on Jun 24th, 2009 by J
