New DS Lite model "rumour and speculation

[wiggy fuzz]

my ds lite is showing some micro cracks on the hindges...

if this turns out to be a reality i'd probably pick it up

[sheershadow]

Please Have BETTER Speakers Then The DS Lite!!!!

Without Slot-2 How Will Opera Browser Expansion Work? Nintendo is cutting a lot of development off slot-2 cards though (Probably on PURPOSE)

But The on-board storage sounds grand!!! :thumbup:

[Jeric]

I'm sitting on the fence here. One, on-board storage would be interesting for homebrewers. However if you remove the GBA port you take out the chance of additional ram that also limits things to an extent.


Right now i'm just going to wait for more substantial reports, and wether the revised hardware will break slot 1 capabilities as well as remove slot 2.

It will great if it has faster processor to play homebrew already we know it will have on board memory which is excellent we might able to play full speed n64 emulator i wish he doesn't remove the slot 2 because there flashcarts for that slot i have m3 lite cart which i always use i'm looking forward to the new ds lite here are the things should be in new ds lite:

1. Faster processor
2. Tv out
3. better control system
4. Bigger screen (3.5' Lcd screen)
5. media content
6. New features
7. More ram (on board ram is cool)

You're turning it into a psp man...not that a psp with a touch screen wouldn't be awsome, but still.

In thourey, to keep the Opera web browser working, Nintendo might emulate the extra RAM with the on-board memory, I.E. Virtual RAM.

nintendo have a massive catalogue of gba games, i play gba games with my ds because i never owned a gba

when the ds hit the market as well as some ds gaems it also had like a thousand gba games to pick through

loosing gba support in my opinion would be suicidal, it'dbe like the sony ps3 loosing ps...2...back...wards...compatibility

Actually nintendo wants to stop piracy so how can they easily do that, remove the slot two. If they realse a new version it may actually have a built in web browser and would have the avalibilty of a ds virtual console, since of the on board memory. I wouldn't be surpirsed if they added some more memory but I see no ned to add it, old games and older ds won't be able to use it, though newer games would lickley have a bit more functionality, but if they add ram or cpu nintendo knows that it would cuase homebrew emulators to be of a better quality.

[sukhi-2006]

The new ds lite needs better cpu and ram which would be good so we can play n64 with full speed which will be awesome if Nintendo doesn't do this it won't be worth buying at all and he shouldn't bother releasing it. If not going to increase the performance of the system.

[Tikker]

there's not a whole lot they can do to improve the DS imo, other than find a way to up some of the hardware specs (wtf would you want tv out?)

I have to admit, i'm perfectly satisfied with my DS lite
