Repairing my childhood Nintendo DS (2005) 

hi

Does ur mom actually love u?

Try to make a pokedex mod? from the gameboy advance sp

The screwdriver set in the link is actually wrong. I have the same set that you used today, they are the IFIXIT electronic screwdriver set, which is very worth the money, and incredibly helpful in my gameboy repairs. Just saying, you need to update it.

@@Wflash00 the pain we endured

i never played metroid hunters, but same as well with my 3ds

Yup

Old reliable 😂

Mario kart Is a good game

That’s because mariokart is a really good game.

Aww pokemon gen 4 😍 my favorite was diamond for nostalgia purposes

I love gen 4, but how can anyone stand the speed of that game nowadays, the battles are the slowest by far 😗

True I just buy lots of repell

As we speak, I’m jail breaking my DSi, heard you can do lots on it. (And so I bought a crisp 16 Gb SD Card

I'm playing platinum right now lel

Good times. I remember using the thumb stylus on super Mario 64 ds. Did you use it for any other games?

Never knew that back then... Woah genius.

Damn when I got my ds lite I took the lanyard off ASAP.... Wish I knew this lel

My first DS was a DSi and I was soooo confused as to why games were referring to the lanyard, or why the “DS” track in Mario Kart was looking like that weird thing. I also thought that people saying DS and not DSi were just shorting it out. One day a girl came to the playground with her DS lite and I didn’t know what that was, but it was similar to mine, so I, with only good intentions but the grace of a 5 y.o, told her it was fake, and she cried. I then understood that multiple DS existed and we became friends when we grew up a bit lol

Lol

Lol

Same!

Currently playing HeartGold on a candy pink og DS.

Well i use a ds lanyard for a wiimote

@@SimbianGaming I have found the Imposter

I have a 2ds

I love some backstories about old consoles, and especially about one I just refurbed. This one was an old yellowed DMG, and I took it apart to find lots of wear on the pads, dust, and finger prints on the outside. That made my day by just know that console was probably their favorite, and never slammed it, as it has not a single dent. I thought how much fun this kid had in the 90s, playing his gameboy with his friends, competing in Tetris rounds, secretly playing at night, I just love the thought.

I have a story behind my ds lite I originally had a white ds lite that was a hand me down from my brother I played it every day until one day when I was walking up to my dads house I dropped my ds lite and the hinge for the top screen came un attached and I had to hold the screen hinge down to keep the ds on and play without annoyance until I got a new ds lite that didn’t have working trigger buttons and then finally got a original fat ds with working triggers but there was still problems that I had to fix so I contacted a friend to come over and fix the touchscreen he came by with a new digitizer that he ordered from Amazon I played a RU-vid video that walked through the steps to make sure he knew what he was doing and make sure he didn’t destroy my ds and he did everything perfectly and saved my ds and now I have a fully working ds again but there is still one problem I need a stylus that can fit in the stylus hole of the fat ds

In the rubbish bin 🤣

Sure is! Good memory.

Can I get the link please?

I had a gameboy cake a few years back, definitely recommend

I wish the DS was before my time.... I would've loved to have grown up playing PS VITA'S and 3DS's lol. I grew up playing on a super Nintendo and Gameboy's. I got an original Nintendo DS when they first came out and I remember that being awesome but it sucks lol. I still have it it still works I have the same games for it still... They are not how I remembered it its awful and no wonder I'm blind. I do still have a place in my heart for the super Nintendo though... Donkey Kong and Top Gear were amazing.

R H hey man count your lucky stars you weren’t growing up with an Atari 2600 or magnavox odyssey or something, now that would’ve been rough

@@buildinasentry1046 yeah I enjoy the Super Nintendo it was a good system and had great games. I absolutely loved top gear the music the background ect it was a great game. The Donkey Kong games were great on the super Nintendo too. Its nostalgic and brings back memories and now I can play it on my phone. Nowadays my phone can run emulators for most old consoles. I have dozens of psp games on my phone and a nice Bluetooth controller. Crank the native resolution to 6-8x and the games look and run great. I can emulator ps1 games. I assume I could play lighter ps2 games but I doubt it could play any serious ps2 game without stuttering. I'd have to give it a try and see but I emulate ps2 on my laptop. PPSSPP is more convenient for on the go emulation. The on screen controls actually work very well and are customizable too if you don't have a controller to use. But a controller really ups the experience. I'd love to buy the razor usb c controller that fits onto the sides of the phone but for now I'm using an Xbox style bluetooth controller with a phone clip and it works well but its not as portable and its not as convenient as a controller that can connect via USB and support mapping for games that don't support controllers.

Until the ds lite had the same problem.

and then the dsi fixed it@@hawkfeather6802

I remember someone in my kindergarten had the black one. I was jealous ngl

Used Black DS Lite was also my first console around 2010, but I was 22 😂 Still in near mint condition, except plastic around buttons got smooth from years of use.

hydreg Yeah Same but for me, he is holy, so i cleaned him up and now he‘s like a mirror😈😂

A fellow german viewer woohoo

The Return of the King

How much was the import tax?

@@NoOne-mn7so £3 ish

It was a really common issue. We had to send a few of these and a few of the lites off to Nintendo over the years.

Charky Its funny because when this happened to my original DS it was around the time I had gotten a DS lite and then when it eventually happened to my DS lite I had gotten a DSi so I just used the bottom screen DS's as a backup GBA

Not sure how different from the original it'll be, but companies such as Zedlabz stock replacement screens and hinges.

@@ToxoRetro Thanks for the information. Unfortunatley i was 13 years old when it broke and i didn't had the knowledge i now have as an adult. It breaks my heart that i threw it away back then.

Accually, og ds don't work like that. The screen is fine, its what I call the connection cable. There is a separate board that only the OG model had were it connected everything in the top screen to the bottom. All you have to replace is the ribbon cable. If you had a DS lite, then yes, the screen was screwed.

@@airplane6417 Thank you. 😀 I admit I own a Lite as I missed out on the original, hence the lack of research into it. I'd be surprised if Zedlabz (or other similar companies) didn't stock it though.

@@ToxoRetro It saddens me to say, but og ds parts are probably the hardest parts to find, especially parts like that, I have found the ribbon cable once or twice before.

at least he's actually getting the regional release dates right now. he used to just go by the copyright years. and he lives in Jersey on the Channel Islands.

@@RWL2012 jersey is in the uk i live there -.-

Fat Ds’s were but ds lites weren’t I broke my childhood ds lite by dropping it on a hard floor the top screen came unhinged

Thank you!

I don't even know what a lanyard is and I live in Britain.

Who pronounces it Land? I say lanyurd

Huh? In the US we just say lan-yerd.

@@startedtech I'm from California so maybe it's a geographical thing in the USA? But I've heard it be pronounced Landyurd and lanyerd and the D so subtle it barely makes a difference

Halen Smith a piece of string or ribbon used to secure an item. If you have an ID badge worn round your neck, it’s on a lanyard.

Tell that to the GBA.

I played ds since I could remember (I'm 12), I'm not supposed to feel old!

You know you're old af if you got a ds in the year it came out

@@quinnobrien8495 🥺

@@Rijebcifnbfrut I feel you Skully

Wish I had such luck. About a year or two ago, I dropped a 2ds and the screen got obliterated. A year earlier, a former 2ds lost the ability to charge. Now I have to switch the batteries between the two to play a game.

My first DS was also a red Lite, then we got a black one and still have it :)

My first DS was a blue DS lite. The first one I had, I think my dad broke it iirc

The replacement blue DS lite I had lived its whole life until the 3DS came out

Unreal.

294,000 isn't almost 300,000, it's almost 295,000. but what's the difference between another 1000 people and another 6000 people...?

Because I read the comments and I like them :)
