Forums - Nintendo - China: Very good DS system copy yes/no

Ah the times of the Polystation is fading, and now our friends in China sells  really nice copies of the DS system, How nice???

No, what astounds me is that, cosmetic flaws aside, this system is practically perfect. The plastics are indistinguishable from the ones Nintendo uses; the heft and feel are the same. And most of all, the system works. It boots up to the familiar BIOS, and both GBA and DS games (even famously pirate-resistant carts like Dragon Quest IX and The World Ends With You) boot and play without a hiccup. There are no dead pixels on either screen (something even Nintendo can't pull off perfectly, as the perpetual orange dot on my DSi XL's top screen will attest). The clone-makers even managed to duplicate the DS Lite's persistent inconsistency in the color temperature of the screens: The upper screen is cooler than the bottom screen.

Well... he deserves a fake for trying to buy a green DS... >_>



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

Man this isn't just a crappy knock off they even use the Nintendo seal. If I didn't know better I would have thought this was a legit DS and the user says it plays DS games and GBA games fine so, wow. I wonder if these things are actually being sold inside China or is the device mainly being exported and sold to people who don't know any better. It would also be interesting to find out how much battery life this sucker has.

I hope 3DS doesn't get knocked off this way or Cafe. But it is interesting to see a high quality knock off!

Designed for the Nintendo DSi, the R4i SDHC cartridge is the exact same size as a normal Nintendo DS game cartridge

The R4i SDHC card was the first ever card under the R4 brand name to be produced for the Nintendo DSi. Cards that were previously compatible with the Nintendo DS and DS Lite consoles were not working with the newer DSi owing to new hardware incompatibilities. The R4i SDHC was the first R4 card to overcome this hurdle, along with the Acekard 2i and EZFlash Vi who had their products released mere weeks afterwards.

The R4i SDHC is available here: http://www.ps3breakr4.com



That really blows that he got scammed like that. I don't understand why Nintendo needed to prematurely kill off the Lite. The DSi doesn't have the GBA slot and it's not region-free. So anyone that wants to play GBA games and region-locked DS games is forced to go search for a Lite used somewhere (and we run the risk of buying some cheap knock off). I've been enjoying Last Window (Hotel Dusk sequel) recently on my DS Lite. It was released in English in EU but not available in North America. Hopefully my DS Lite doesn't break down on me.

At least this bootleg plays the GBA and DS games properly apparently. It sucks how the shell has pockmarks though. Eww. Cheap ass manufacturing.
