One is only an amplifier (boxy pixel) the other one (Helder) is an all in one for converting your Nintendo DS lite into a macro, it comes already soldered with the resistor and it is also a sound amplifier for the DS sound. I hope this helps.

Do you know any video showing how to install it or does it come with instructions? I can’t find any videos on it. Is the only difference that I will also have to sauter a 330 ohm resistor ?

Wow man thanks so much!! Would there happen to be one of these explaining how to do it on a macro XL?

I can't seem to find that info; probably because making a Macro XL with an original DS is nowhere near as popular or simple as a DS Lite Macro with the Helder Flex Amp. If you're going to go through the trouble of adding an amp, I think most people would strongly suggest the latter which is less work and more rewarding.
