Is that a regular Nintendo DS? Man, I miss those GBA slots.
Yup! The original "phat" DS. It had just arrived from being modded with a capture card. Love that GBA slot, too!
Why didn't you get the Nintendo DSi or Lite? They're arguably better. I'm assuming it's because the first version of the Nintendo DS is the only one able to have the capture card mod?
The model itself is the reason, yup. I already have a lite and love it, so I was happy to just get a cheap phat DS for the mod. That way, if anything happened to it, it wouldn't be the end of the world. I'm not a fan of the dimmer screen, but the mod allows me to play it off my computer monitor with little to no noticeable lag. I'm waiting for the same guy to open up orders for the N3DSXL now
