Ok, so originally when the Nintendo DS came out, I called it a gimmick. Then as I see it further develop and then the sexier Lite version come out, I wanted one. So one I got.

I also got the thing so I can load roms onto it. I’m cheap that way :(. It was a big investment, but I’m gonna call it my graduation gift to myself. Had to buy the console, the passkey device that allows me to boot DS code from the GBA slot, the cartridge that goes into the GBA slot, and a miniSD card that goes into that cartridge. I also bought a copy of Mario Kart because I needed at least one game to make the passkey work. Normally you need the big ugly passkey inserted to boot the other cartridge, but if you flash the firmware you can do without it. Which is what I did. It was a little scary thinking I can screw it up, but it went ok. My girlfriend saw it and wanted one herself, so I got one for her and flashed it as well. Her cartridge and miniSD are on the way. For now she has Brain Age which I bought used.
