Hi i would like to know if you could mod a ds so it could have ds lite screens on the original ds case.

you could probably just buy a nds lite.

I would go with that, or get the new dsi if it get's new reviews. Unless you like the feel of the old ds or something like that.

It may also help if we knew why you wanted to do it. Like for the brightness or the different shaped screen.

Get the first-run DS lites. The newer DS lites have awful ghosty LCD's, almost as bad as the PSP ones.

The ds has slightly different software then the ds lite. When you get to the main menu and press the light button it has 4 levels of brightness, and the old ds just has 2, so even if they were the same screen with the same plugs I doubt it would even work. You would be better buying a dslite and putting all of the guts inside that black shell you bought. So you'll have the feel of the old ds and the brighter screens.

Or you could transplant a DS Lite LED strip from a $9 DS Lite screen, and transplant it into the DS Original like I did.

From the fact you have to ask, though, it is probably beyond your skill level.

Okay, I just noticed this in an old thread, and I am totally going to attempt that, when I go to do my acrylic DS(remember that screen you sent me?) anything I need to know? I have two strips from a DSl.

It is actually pretty easy.

Depending on the revision, you just have to solder to either the mobo, the screen ribbon, or the "breakout board" for the LCD.

Post some pics when you start, I can label the points for you.

I will be watching for those pics

you never told me how to put my touch screen back, so I'm just buying a new one.

Explain about your screen, I usually just ignore you and your spammy 30-40 posts a day.
