    I have printed this model with various materials on JLCPCB. For what it's worth, the best material for it was "8228" (it was the most precise and fits a 3DS slot well). You can't print the cover though, so you'd have to make a new model.

    If you want to write your own program for your microcontroller, I think the best I can do is to explain how mine currently works? I'm not an expert in this field so there are most likely some parts that are wrong. The DS cartridge protocol is...

    I'm working on a budget with chips I can afford, and there's also limited space on a physical cartridge, so the best I can use are SPI NAND FLASH chips, which have slower read speeds. I have looked at some more SPI NAND flash chips, and it turns...

    Yeah I'm not sure how that side of it works under the hood. I do know that it doesn't present it's main rom 1:1 to what is present on nand (the arm7 binary is no where to be found. Maybe in the odd compressed/encrypted blob of data it stores...

    It still probably has to circumvent the DS security to reduce the read rate - I don't know a NAND chip able to load a 200h bytes region (at least, the first byte) in 5 us. But if you manage to increase the gap count before the game loads, then a...

    NathaanTFM replied to the thread Gathering DS flashcard knowledge - DIY "opencard" idea.
    It's definitely more of a novelty than an actual product (the initial goal was to find a way to distribute my homebrew game without buying a bunch of aliexpress R4s because those usually suck). Making a flashcard could be interesting, but it...

    Hey, I've finally got some good news! I'm working on a budget so I can't afford debugging tools and that's one of the reasons it takes so much time. But I've bought some cheap logic analyzer clones and it helped me debug the remaining issues...

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
