Off Topic: Homebrew for the Nintendo DS?
$20 Nintendo DS mod chip, PassMe
We've
already considered how to make your DS more like your PSP
as far as media support goes, but
what about emulation? Another device that takes advantage of both the GBA and DS game slots, the $20 "PassMe"
mod chip for Nintendo DS "redirects the DS to a GBA Flash cart, so you can run your own programs... on the Nintendo
DS. For PassMe to work it requires the use of a commercial NDS cart (for authentication) and a GBA Flash cart to hold
your DS programs."
While this mod chip will allow you to run pirated games--which we
categorically disapprove of--the ability to run old abandonware or homebrew on the DS is enticing. Some
Sam & Max Hit the Road via
ScummVM coupled with some homebrew
Mario Adventure, and you're cooking
with gas.
