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.

Haul / Show It Off! Shell swap and other mods
gallerymodded my homies DS Lite
- snorlax shell swap(from retroboy)
- ips screen upgrades
- usb c mod
- dspico
- new battery
Difficult job but it was worth it. Honestly all the mods were easy compared to putting this back together. Honestly why did Nintendo design it like that, running the ribbon cable from the hinge sucked. anyways this was cool. Kinda makes me wanna get one for myself.

Help! (Question/Support) mold or paint scratches?
galleryhello! i found an old dsi at the bottom of some drawers, and it works well! i'm very happy. but i'm a bit worried with those little white spots at the bottom. they look like paint scratches, but the round one on the first photo seems to have some volume/not on the surface of the console. could it be mold? i can't seem to remove them with my fingers... is it dangerous? thank you.

Gestion des batteries
Salut, j'ai une collection de vieilles consoles NDS, (mais aussi de téléphones, appareils photo, ordinateur portable, etc.)
Tout a coup me vient une question : ne serait-ce pas dangereux autant de batteries chez moi ? Devrais-je garder tous mes appareils, mais jeter juste les batteries à la déchetterie 😭 ?
Merci pour vos avis

Help! (Question/Support) Yellowed or not?
galleryWeird question I know. Just got this DSIxl. Second picture is the one my brother had. I never had one so unsure if this screen is considered yellowed or not. It looks okay to me but I’m unsure how white it’s supposed to be because I heard all XLs have IPS screens. just asking those that have more experience with this system As I was reading about issues these things can have.

Help! (Question/Support) Is this an issue with the ribbon cable in the hinge?
Bought a ds lite with a yellow top screen, left it at max brightness for almost an entire day and nothing changed about it, so i tried moving the screen and noticed when its "fully up" (idk how to say), the screen usually turns white then when i move it back it turns yellow again.
Is this an issue with the ribbon cable that connects the top screen or is it something else?

Discussion How does Moonshell work from a technical perspective?
I downloaded Moonshell on my DS lite and I'm shocked as to how well it plays back my MP3 files. I'm not an audiophile at all but to my ears, it sounds no different from how my CDs or music streaming sound (when the DS is connected to an external pair of speakers.) The only thing I could knock it on is some trouble with bass, which I don't think I would have thought twice about if I was hearing the MP3 files without knowing the device that they were played on.
Could anyone give a simple/ELI5 explanation as to how this is even possible? My fascination is mostly because I associate the DS with a less advanced/arcade-y sound for music. Thanks!

Help! (Question/Support) Looking for R4 card
galleryI recently got my Nintendo DS Lite from an indoor flea market. Great price and it is in pink (the one I used to have when I was younger), now I am trying to find a R4 card on Amazon Belgium. So both are the same right? Just by the cheapest one? And which micro-sd card should I buy with it?

Help! (Question/Support) What should I buy?
I currently own a New3dsxl but it’s way too big and expensive for me to want to bring it outside. I’ve been eyeing the dsi or dsi xl for sometime now because of the portability. I have smaller hands and carry light. I know the dsi xl has better screens but is it still worth to get a dsi just for size? Right now I can buy a dsi is good condition for around 50-60 dollars and a dsi xl for around 80 bucks.
