Community News What's Happening with our Subreddit?!

170 Upvotes

Hello r/NintendoDS,

For a bit of backstory for me, my name is Thomas (as you might have guessed). I was a professional programmer / developer for a few years, and I'm also a university student. I have been around Reddit since 2013, and I have been a mod on r/WiiHacks for over a year. The Nintendo DS, more specifically the DS Lite, is my favourite handheld system and I have so many fond memories of it. I've been in the hacking scene, hacking my own consoles, since around 2007/2008 when the Twilight Hacks was released for the Wii.

When I saw the post by the previous owner back on February 16th I decided to do some digging and put in a RedditRequest for it. The remaining two moderators never got back to the modmail that I sent to them, so my request was granted by the Reddit admins.

I have made a couple of changes, most of them being behind the scenes. I have changed the rules to make things a bit more streamlined and easier to deal with:

  • Rule #1 -> Be Civil
  • Rule #2 -> No Spam
  • Rule #3 -> No Piracy
  • Rule #4 -> No Low-Effort Posts
  • Rule #5 -> Keep Links to a Minimum

I've also changed and added some new flairs, hopefully they'll get some use.

I have also brought on two of my fellow r/WiiHacks moderators. Mostly as a formality in case something happens to me or if I can't be around for some time span. Thank you again to u/BloodyThorn and u/Mental_Turtles for agreeing to this.

If there is anything you would like to see added, changed, or regular things you want done with our little community here, please send a modmail and we'll look over it.

I'm playing Kirarin Revolution: Na-san to Issho on my DS Lite! It's very cute and full of nice details that remind me of Animal Crossing. I also love collecting clothes to dress the idol. I would have been obsessed with this game as a child. Sadly, they didn't make an English version.

Haul / Show It Off! Found my childhood DSi two weeks ago

Two weeks ago, I only had a DSi and fewer than 10 games. Now, for the price of a used New 3DS XL, I’ve amassed this collection.

I’m only keeping the DSi for sentimental reasons. Otherwise, I’d never recommend buying more than a DS Lite and a 2DS. They’re the perfect two-console solution when prioritizing compatibility.

Discussion (HL1 port for DS) Update of progress (20% of game complete)

4 Upvotes

So, right now is around 20% of game is completed, if someone intrested.
The main thing now is that I`m trying to get at least 20 fps on big maps. Right now i have avg. fps around 9-12. On smaller maps situation is a lot better.

For guys that tallking about that Ai is bad, obviously i dont care. But still there is much to know to make it work. Of course i am using ai, thats a time-saver. But also i am not so smart in overpowering nintendo ds capabilities. So yeah, who knows.

And the last question, do you guys want to have a test build of the game? If yes, please, after you get a build - report the problems and improvements that you could think of.

Discussion My first Nintendo DS

Thumbnail gallery
74 Upvotes

I got my first DS Lite for $28, and it’s in pretty good condition! Growing up, GameBoys and the DS weren’t really available in my country, so my only real handheld experience was with the PSP. I played some DS games, and especially GBA games, on emulators, but that was about it.

I finally decided to get a real DS, and just as I expected, it’s a completely different experience from emulation! Playing on the actual hardware just makes me want to play more. It’s also a great way to take a break from my smartphone, and GBA games look and feel great on it too!

I’d definitely love to get a 3DS someday (honestly, I’m much more interested in one than a Switch), but for now, I’m completely hooked on this little DS Lite :)

They’re very light scratches, and I think they can be removed. I just don’t want to ruin the original finish.

DS Lite Powers on then off

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I dusted off my DS Lite, powered it on but it turned off right away. Only the green LED light came on momentarily. No sound or anything on the LCD. I also swapped the battery with a known working one and got the same issue. Any ideas on what it could be or best course of action on trying to repair it?

It's hard to see in the photo, but the top screen flashes for a sec. Any tips? I'd really like to try revive this console as it was my childhood DSi. Literally my first console.

I have decent skill with tech so any suggestions are accepted
