Homebrew on the Nintendo DS
Ranked #437 in Games, #14,164 overall
Give your DS some extra fizz with homebrew
You just bought that nice and shiny DS Lite or even a DSi and wonder what more it can do apart from playing games? Well, then this might just be for you. With the addition of a special gamecard with sd adapter you can turn your console into a music player, a movie player or even a PDA. If you're a bit more creative you could use it to draw, create music and maybe if you're of a more technical bent you might even be able to create your own games
