DS lite gba slot = expansion slot?

Post by sammy »

I got a DS lite black today (yay I live in Europe :twisted: ) and I noticed the little block that comes with it to fill up the gba slot had actual pins on it. So I decided to open it up, but as I thought there was nothing inside. Which means it might be possible to put something in :wink: . But the space is reaaaaalllyyy small. Still it would be cool to have a custom DS Lite cart or something. And what I was thinking of is: the rumble pack. Has anyone got an image of the insides? It would be very cool to put it in that little block. And if that doesn't work I might consider putting a ROM based game inside (you know like the 101 in 1 games) because they are also very tiny. Rumble pack is first choice though... If this would work I would even be able to make a lot of them because they sell the blocks seperatly! If you know a particular game/cart that has a very tiny circuit and can be played on a GBA then let me know and give some pics

If I could I would give you pics of my DS lite flashcard made with that thing. Its just a small supercard minisd modified for sd. It was nice, AND SOLD FOR $140!!!! Which I later bought an n64, oot, a controller, and a sd card reader, and then, another supercard minisd which i remodified for sd. I'll be making another one for me, ill get pics if i can.

Yeah I noticed the pins too... I think Nintendo's making a Lite rumble pak anyway, though. And you need to buy a rumble pak to make the mod... and Nintendo said (I think) That they'll replace the ds rumble pak with a ds lite rumble pak for free. (I think)

If you're looking at this post and it was made before 2008, just ignore it.
