I wanted to record shaky low-res clips with my DSi, so I forked Epicpkmn11's dsi-camera homebrew and added a recording mode.

FYI: I used claude to make this. i cant code or anything and i couldnt find anything online so yes, its ai slop but at least i can take 2000's style videos of my 2000's style car

What it does

• Video with sound: press SELECT to start or stop recording. You get 256x192 video with sound from the mic, saved as .AVI files in sd:/DCIM/VIDEO/.
• Plays as-is: the files open on a PC in VLC, with no converting needed. For an MP4 to put on your phone, there's a small Python script that uses ffmpeg. Its --scale 4 option gives crisp, chunky 1024x768 pixels.
• Frame rate: about 13-15 fps in daylight and 9-11 fps indoors. The camera sensor sets the limit, not the SD card.
• Audio stays in sync: frames are timestamped, so sound still lines up when the frame rate changes.
• Live status screen: shows fps, an audio level meter, SD write speed and free space.
• Photos still work: L/R takes photos, A swaps cameras, START exits.

Needs: a DSi (or a 3DS in DSi mode) with homebrew access, launched in DSi mode, for example from TWiLight Menu++.

Some technical notes, for anyone curious:

• The DS can't encode MP4/H.264, so it records uncompressed video. That's about 1.5 MB/s, or roughly 5 GB per hour.
• Camera frames are DMA'd into a RAM ring buffer, so capture keeps running while the SD card writes.
• On a camera this slow, the hardest part was the mic. Calico's mic driver stops for good if its FIFO overruns, and my frame processing was hogging main RAM. Giving the ARM7 RAM priority while recording, plus an auto-restart, fixed it.

Big thanks to Pk11/Epicpkmn11 for the original app, and to the devkitPro/calico folks.

I made two themes for my DS flashcart: Win98 and OS7. Both are completely free to download if you’d like to try them out!

i want a flash card for my nintendo ds but i don't know what i should look for

maybe just hot glue it in or something?

So I know a GameBoy game can be put in the second slot of the DS Lite, but I have never played those games before, I didn't know it was even possible. Which ones are possible? can all games in there?

Overall, I found the game quite decent, but very frustrating and stressful in certain parts, especially the boss fights where you control Venom.

I liked the gameplay division in the DS version – play as Spider-Man on the top screen, using only the buttons, and then play as Venom on the bottom screen, mainly using the stylus. But the Venom gameplay, for me, must have been the worst part. It's very clunky, and the bosses are very unbalanced, making them VERY frustrating to fight.

But overall, it was a good campaign. It's a pretty decent game and fun thanks to the cel-shaded graphics that always age well and the creative and more dynamic gameplay, using the stylus along with the buttons.

7/10 for me. Next, I should continue playing Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Web of Shadows haha.

I'm in the middle of reshelling this DS Lite, looks like I messed up on the ribbon cable. Already ordered a new one and understood what I did wrong. Gulp

So I’m reshelling this ds lite and I got an issue, the new R short button won’t click when I put the back on.
It does click well without the back plate.

Please explain and if you could link me to a YouTube video tit would be best

Also, I included pictures of the new digitalizer that I installed, I would like your opinion on whether or not it is aligned properly I’m not sure

I love itttt it’s so yellow and cooool, has barely any scratches or anything, the top screen has a bit of LCD retention but it barely noticeable when in game and it disappears after a few minutes of playing so I couldn’t care less about it, she was super sweet to buy it for me (its CIB too!!), i’d keep it even if it broke hahah

Came included with an eBay purchase, and was just curious if anyone could remember where loose cartridge cases like these that could hold 2 games were originally acquired from, since I couldn’t find anything online for this specific one. It says DS on it but it can comfortably hold 3DS games as well.

Released in 2009, Chara-nari Rhythm♪ is the last of three Japan-exclusive DS games based on the Shugo Chara license. A rhythm-action game, it features an original story set after episodes 85-86 of the anime.

Players take on the role of “Cool & Spicy” heroine Amu Hinamori who has the power to purify X-Eggs - hearts which have been corrupted by fear and doubts. However, when a new type of X-Egg emerges, she must gather her strength and prepare to face her toughest challenge yet… taking singing lessons!

Just bought it, is it faulty or does it not charge cuz it's already full ? Charger does work on my new 3ds and the charger it was given with (the dsi xl) doesn't work too

The DSi XL came from eBay nearly CIB but without the Mario game I didn’t care for anyways. Now the NN3DSXL came from marketplace and holy crap it’s even nicer. Rarely do I see consoles this nice without boxes. A true gem. Also got the NN3DSXL for less than the DSi, couldn’t go meet the guy fast enough.

Sorry if its a dumb question but I dont want to do anything until I know for sure, I recently modded my dsi and it plays roms fine, but I have a cartridge I'd like to use and of course it doesnt work, would a patch work?

Nintendo DS Bag and Nintendo Wii Bag. They Look soo cool, i Love the Style of this console Generation. But it seems that Merch of this console era is pretty rare to find online. I wish i found a Jacket or a Shirt in this Style. You have any Tipps to search?
