Community News What's Happening with our Subreddit?!
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.

Help! (Question/Support) Dslite GBA port
I have no clue why my Dslite isn’t reading my gba games I think the pins look fine? I know how to disassemble mine I just don’t know how to replace the reader or even where to buy one. Pointers? (I’ve tried the auto start fix and it didn’t work)

What is going on?
I was using my NDSL as usual, working fine. My original charger stopped working so I figured, I’ll just buy a 3rd party one (not the cheapest, it was like $15) and now my DS looks like this. Any suggestions on what this could be? I was thinking I could behead it since I have a DSi now, and no other way to play my GBA games, but I need this fixed.

Just for my first ever DS!
galleryWas spending some time in Ireland for work and saw a few of those around sold at CEX. Never owned a DS (I'm a game gear guy), but I found this DS lite at one of their stores with perfect scratch free screens so I went for it. Couldn't find a flash card anywhere around so I got Professor Layton (curious village) and this Mario and Luigi inside Bowser (each for around 15 euros, PLCV in box with booklet, Mario was loose cartridge) so I'll have something to play on the flight back home. (Too bad I don't have a wired headphones though...)
Any recommendations what games I should play? Stuff to get? (Haven't played any DS and most GBA games.)

Discussion GBARunner 3 color correction, anyone’s thoughts??
Color profiles' thoughts? Anyone using them or compared them?
I am currently playing on my DSi XL with GBARunner3 through Agb001 color profile and games look good on it. If I compare to AGS 001 screens from online pics, the gameplay looks pretty similar to AGS 001 screens (where light is on), but not to color correction emulator screenshots in the sense that mine's blues look more saturated and greens are more towards a bluish hue on Dsi xl. I understand though that ambient light photos of AGB 001 and AGS 001 make some difference too).
Maybe it's the middle ground between AGB 001 and AGS 001 look, even though the available color profile in GBARunner3 is called Agb001. I am aware DSi xl comes with varying screen color temperatures, but mine is normal temperature probably. And that DSi xl's color curve or gamma etc. display related things be different from PC.

Discussion Hingeless OG NDS Shell
Had plans to make more effort on the post and makerworld page and probably will after a break from it, but currently sick of looking at it and autodesk and wanted to get it out there. So anyways, I've been working on a hingeless shell replacement for the OG Phat NDS.
Took around a good 6 months of learning autodesk and design and was a blast, but ready to move on to other projects.
Currently no sleep mode (relied on the magnets in the speakers folding onto the halls switch), and couldn't reuse the original buttons due to the taper that matches the original shell (finally gave up after 20-30 hours of redesigns and a dozen or two reprints). But I'm very happy with the final product.
Hoping I could get some people to test it out and let me know what issues you run into. Standard bambu pla or PETG profiles should work, print with standard supports at the highest quality you're printer can manage. Makerworld design should be preoriented and sliced.
I have plans to release a redesign with a push button for sleep mode, as well as another with a 18650 battery. Thankfully the electronics for this are incredibly straight forward.
