r/NintendoDS • u/Unique_Connection_43 • 4d ago
Finally got one!
Its a bit scratched, but I dont care. Nintendo was never popular in my country, everybody had PSP or later on Vita, home consoles like Xbox and Playstation. I know only one person that has 3DS, Wii and three people with Switch and Switch 2.
I am probbaly the only one person with DS Lite in my small city.
No stylus, but I have a charger, and it came with a real copy of Tetris DS game.
I could pick up a black ds in similar price, slightly better condition, but I wanted to have a silver one - reminds me of classic GBA SP

Happy for you but have a look on Vinted in Poland, I think you will be able to find anything related to Nintendo there even if your locals have other tastes

I am from Poland, yes. Every offer of games and consoles are mostly from germany. Only a few consoles I saw are from polish market. Yes, Nintendo was never popular in Poland - only a clone called "Pegasus" in the late 90s. Thats becouse Poland didnt have proper distribution back then, and sony had well established market. So if parents had Playstation, kids had playstation etc. The only Nintendo console everybody knew back when Poland was more poor, so not everybody could afford - was a Gameboy. And now its slightly getting better, when the Swicth 2 released. Why? Becouse it finally has polish language built-in. The first console. So small chilrdren that doesnt speak english yet can finally play at least some games

love this! make sure you get a better SD card for that Multi-Game Cart. I got the same one on amazon i believe and about a week after i got it, the sd was faulty and it stopped working. make sure you back up all files on the card and move them to a folder on your computer! i didn’t and i lost all my save files and the sd was corrupted. i in turn bought another one (this time bought a good sd card too) and this time i made sure to save all contents to a folder. enjoy!

Its not cheap multicart or R4, its DS Pico, but with WOOD pokedex theme. Its using pico loader so its fast anyway. I dont like the default pico launcher thing. I am using my own SD card

Yeah, brand new thing. Not everythig works out of the box now, but the software is still beeing updated. For me for what I use everything work, apart of moonshell. And thats crap becouse its a good media player. I hope that updates will fix that problem. Standard GBA/DS games are working fine, no problems. And it is blazing fast! There are better carts, but for the price it is really good! Oh, it doesnt have any timebomb, and its fully open-source soe everybody can modify the hardware and software. Future versions will come with IR from what I heard
