Experimenting with LED-illuminated cartridges...

Blog entry Gallery
They look much cooler in person. Can't imagine it would affect battery life much either. The red cartridge has a red LED in it, because it looked pink when I used white. If anyone wants an LED added to the cartridges from my Etsy shop, it's only an additional $5 to add inside. I generally try to center the LED, but it can really be placed anywhere inside the cartridge because it's so small.

Holy shit... Would it be possible to put multiple (like 5) in one clear cart and make a rainbow or something? That'd be cool for a flash cart honestly!

I don't know what DSX LEDs are. I use the LEDs you get from strands of fairy lights.

Somewhat prior to the DSTwo/iplayer/ismm enhanced flash carts for the DS was the ds xtreme/DSX, that you seemingly have not heard of it says about how well that went. One of the features it decided it wanted to tout in all the advertising was dancing LEDs

Or indeed a forum search for xtreme LEDs/ "DANCING LED'S DUDE"

Not practically... But a single RGB LED would suffice... Otherwise you risk pulling too much current from the cart slot and/or risk blowing a fuse. I also noticed that the Blue LED I used sucked up more power than the others, as noted by the GB Micro's red battery lights coming on in my other blog post. The other LED colors didn't do that.

Huh, that's an interesting flash cart, sadly gimped by just 512BM of flash space. That's like 2 or 3 DS games, tops. Or a single untrimmed Pokemon game.
