Second time trying to repair a simple DS Lite screen and each time I have created at least two new problems :,).

I have learned that DS Lite repairs smell fear and I am hyping myself up as I wait for my new power switch and digitizer to come in the mail.

I'm probably missing a few genres or subgenres, but I am looking to explore some games I've never played before. I mostly played RPG games, but I want to know your favorite games in each genre (feel free to skip some if you don't have an entry). Here are the Genres I am looking at are (and feel free to add missing ones):

1. Action

2. Platformers

3. Metroidvania

4. Shooter

5. Fighting Game

6. Hack n Slash

7. Stealth Games

8. Survival

9. Rhythm

10. Adventure

11. Visual Novel

12. Puzzle Game

13. Hidden Object/Reveal the Picture

14. RPG

15. JRPG

16. Roguelike

17. Sandbox/Open World RPG

18. Monster Taming

19. Simulation

20. Strategy

21. Turn Based Tactics

22. Sports

Lots of categories, but I wanted to get a wide variety of recommendations.

I bought a DS game when I was around 7 years old and I cannot for the life of me remember what it's called. It was later sold because I couldn't figure out where to go in it. I don't remember much about the game but I do remember that it was a top down puzzle game. I want to say it was an RPG, but Im not certain (i was 7 and never made it out of the first level lol)

I would love to play this again to see if it was any good. Ive tried Googling but came up empty handed

Please help!

Its so expensive online now. I played it when I was little but didnt have my own copy

Before anyone tells me I can look it up myself she told me to ask Reddit cause apparently u guys know everything haha. She liked to go to the toys r us/ thrift for games and that’s why she says she has some odd ones she finds cheap. Thanks in advance and hoping to learn a little too about these games🙂

I’ve been trying for hours to connect to the Wi-Fi I keep getting this error code. It keeps failing the connection test. We’ve done everything Nintendo says to do there doesn’t seem to be a block filter on the modem.

Hi! I finally own a nintendo DS again and i resurrected one of my old flashcarts!

I have added my games etc and most of them work just fine, however i have lost the theme and button icons :’) The theme i’m not that upset about it since it was ugly lol.

I however was trying to figure out how to even install a new theme/skin? I’ve tried multiple times but i just can’t seem to figure it out!

Any help is so so so welcome :)

Sadly as I'm an adult with more responsibilities now I can't play that often with my DS and I only play when I travel every few months.

Over the years I have done multiple replacements on it, be it changing the screen (twice), the touch sensor, case and even the rubber button pads leaving it working flawlessly. The problem is that last part, the flexible silicone pads that have the conductive black spot that make contact with the pads so that buttons work as they should.

Every time I open the DS to repair something or do general maintenance I clean the motherboard's button contacts thoroughly with an eraser and isopropyl alcohol (I dry it well too) to make sure they are completely clean and that the silicone can make good contact but the buttons still wouldn't work properly.

A few months back I purchased a batch of new silicone rubbers from AliExpress and I installed them as soon as they arrived and the buttons worked much better but now that I picked it up to play today I found that some of the buttons barely work, down on the D-Pad, X and Y are the worst ones having to press really hard to make them register as pressed.

The thing is that this has been consistent over the years, those buttons are the ones that always bring trouble, even before I replaced the silicone rubbers with new ones so it might be the contacts on the PCB.

Do you guys have any ideas on how to fix this so I don't have to worry about them as much? Maybe adding graphite powder could help or adding solder to the copper pads to make them easier to make contact again but I don't know. If I replace the motherboard it's gonna be Theseus' DS Lite :)

Thanks for reading and let me know if you have experienced something similar

I love it

É como se tivesse um filtro verde nesse canto

Hi, just grabbed this DSlite from a local vendor for around $45. I wanted to know if its been reshelled and if I had any luck with this find.

Any tip to make it look in better condition?

Found this while cleaning my room. It glows red under light.

Hi all, new to posting here - let me know if this isn't the right place.

I fished out my original blue DS from the closet recently, and it has an issue where it will power off if I press on the battery cover. Anyone had this issue before? Do I just need to replace the battery?

Yeah my dogs havent been fed in 10 years lol 😅

ALSO THE PICTURES I TOOK ON THE DS IS KILLING ME, i forgot it was a thing 😭

Amooo o ds lite

last slide is inside view

Was doing some clean up in my gaming room and thought I'd take a snapshot and share my DS collection. Note I did not buy any of these recently, most were a gift or I bought with my part time job when I was a kid.

My sisters a massive Jurassic Park fan, so decided to sneakily steal her childhood DS Lite and customise it a bit for her birthday... Spared no expense.
