Well, just call nintendo tech support and ask them for a repair (the number will be in the warranty section of the ds manual.) There will be charges, my guess would be a max of 30 dollars, any more than that and you should probably just go somewhere else. But who would know how to repair it better than Nintendo itself?

Equate ROM downloading to the services Limewire provides. Musicians are still filthy stinking rich. Nintendo will be filthy stinking rich long after ds emulators and pirated wii games become commonplace. If anything this might force developers to rethink the way we approach games.

It may encourage developers to improve their product so that it has a better shot at selling more copies. In another way it might send a message that the pricing system is flawed. If people decide they aren't willing to pay for the games, developers have no choice but to either increase quality, or decrease price.

Ultimately, the game is only worth what people are willing to pay for it is the lesson here.

Online battles, in the vein of PBR. Not just friend code based. Plus an easier way to set up tournaments in-game. like a multi-user lobby with in-game bracketing.

Oh, but then Nintendo won't be able to charge us an extra $50 for the extra game! plus $250 for a wii!

But I digress, I agree they should go into 3D graphics or at least animated sprites.

sorry about the double post, but, i have both a pc (for gaming) and a mac (for work and everything else) and I absolutely despise working on the PC. After you get used to the way OS X operates you'll never want to go back.

PCs are really your only choice for games but that's really only because since the game industry moved over to PC (late 80s, early 90s) Macs have become very specialized towards making a more functional operating system for anyone besides gamers. (poor GPU choices in the macbooks and very little upgrade potential that gaming machines need) The next best step up in terms of a work computer are linux machines, but those are for the people who really know what they are doing on computers, such as people with programming backgrounds or just a deep need for the most customizable OS and a willingness to learn.

also, the comment earlier about PC games being made on Macs was only true in the transistion period mentioned earlier when games moved to PCs. PC games are made almost exclusively on PCs nowadays. However a large number of CONSOLE game developers are moving over to macs recently. That might have been what the earlier poster was refering to. Also, EA anounced a while back that it will be releasing all or most (i forget) of their titles on both PC and Mac. However, I haven't found an EA game that I actually care about in years.

But if anyone wants more info on the advantages of macs from someone who isn't obnoxiously militant like a lot of the mac userbase. Just send me a message.

-More tactile, crisp feeling buttons (this is something I hate about the PSP, and just about every Nintendo system ever.)

-More comfortable form fitting grips. (I'm sick of handhelds that feel like thin bricks, how hard would it be to incorporate the designs from console controllers.)

-More color saturation and contrast in the screen.

-get rid of the polished plastic that gets finger prints and scratches so easily (inferior plastic, that seems to be the trend in new electronics.)

-speakers that dont suck.

-microphone that isn't directly in between the screens/one that you don't have to lean into.

-OH YEAH, the Z80 Processor for backwards compatibililty with GB/GBC

-System sleep during GBA games when you put the flip screen down.

-During GBA play, use the second screen for a clock or access to the DS preferences menu.

-GBA link cable port so I can play crystal chronicles and link battle in Fire Emblem with my freaking DS

I love my DS lite, but Nintendo could have put a little more time into it.
