DS nirvana

[Harrison]

Lol I would beat that game as a kid every time I rented it from Blockbuster

"By alternating between "Increase Body Size"/"Decrease Body Size",
you can stay alive as long as you have the points and reflexes"

Wish I had known that......

[Harrison]

Cheaper to do it with a horn I think. Or some other cheap upgrade...

[Griever]

I just got my CycloDS and 2g micro sd card in the mail. I'm pretty stoked. So what e-book reader program should I look into getting?

[Tikker]

there's a few that are ok

dsreader is not bad, and what I've used most of the time

dslibris is good as well, but not as convenient imo

go to the moonbooks project and take a look at what they have there, that's probably the best place to start

also, make sure you upgrade your cyclods to 1.31 (or you could try the 1.4 beta I guess)

[Foutty]

Where's a good place to order the CycloDS?

[Tikker]

for USA I think realhotstuff.com is most reliable seller

not sure if they're the cheapest, but price is only going to fluctuate a dollar or 2 anyway

[Foutty]

Awesome, thanks! Order placed

[Tikker]

I completely forgot

the english version of Super Dodgeball brawlers should be out this week or next

[Tikker]

port/remake of Chrono Trigger has been announced

[Durothil Skyreaver]

Yup

Zoinks

[Drem]

that's awesome

[brinstar]

hey dogdicks

i just played one of these things for the first time the other day, and i effin want one now

what kind of shit can i do with a DS besides play DS/GBA games? when you answer, go ahead and assume i know absolutely fuck-all about the DS, because that is the truth

[Harrison]

Believe it or not, guitar hero for the DS is actually a lot of fun despite only being 4 buttons instead of 5. (it's an attachment you put ON the DS for the "fret's" buttons)

As far as custom content, there is quite a bit out there depending on your specific DS version. Downloading games to a card is probably the best part.

listen to mp3/ogg vorbis music

watch video that you've encoded for it (dpg format, but it's easy to convert using SUPER)

you can run pretty much all the NES games out there, most SNES, Genesis emulation is not bad, but not great

there's a surprisingly awesome NeoGeo emulator out for it now too

you can also read ebooks on it (.txt anyway)

the comicbook reader on it is spectacular, probably the most well polished homebrew out there actually

I've got a working VOIP phone on mine

There's really not a whole lot that you can't do on it

the best part of course is the 2500 game catalogue you can download for it

[brinstar]

got a slightly used ds lite (gold triforce edition) on ebay for $170

woot

[Tikker]

you know brand new they're like $120, yeah?

[Drem]

haha

[Martrae]

isn't the gold triforce discontinued now?

[brinstar]

i wanted the triforce one :P


comes with a zelda game too

[Drem]

my mom actually digs that sort of thing and has more electronics than i do. last time i visited she was playing that and the FFIV thing... looked pretty fun tbqh

[Harrison]

Is your mom hot?

[Tikker]

isn't the gold triforce discontinued now?

they were a limited run

I dunno, I still see them in stock around here at walmart and best buy

brinstar, now you just need to go get a Cyclods, and a 4-8gb microSD card

[Tikker]

Civilization by sid meier just came out for the DS too

it's a bit stripped down from the latest PC versions obviously, but reviews have been pretty positive about it

[brinstar]

ok i love my DS

but i had it 2 days and already lost the stylus ccc

good: a three-pack of replacements is less than $7
bad: none of them are gold like my DS
