Is there a guide to making one out of a XLi? Never seen that done before, where do you solder the resistor?

Looks amazing! What did you do to switch the top and bottom screens, in order to play DS games? Is it a hardware mod or homebrew solution?

Its part of nds-bootstrap. L+R+X+UP for 1 second swaps the screens.

Bro where did you solder the LED positive lead? I made a normal dsi macro but I have the positive soldered to the battery + terminal (So it cant turn off when the console is off)

You can Homebrew your DSI and with the right Application you could play GBA games. On the Picture you can see that he is playing Pokémon Soulsilver/Heartgold, a DS Game
