Surfing the Internet on the Nintendo DS Lite

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

Nintendo DS Lite is not only a game console. You can also use it for surfing the Internet, anywhere in the Wi-Fi (hotspot) area. Thanks to Opera who created an Internet browser for surfing the websites and checking e-mail.

Actually your DS Lite doesn’t have the Internet browser, you need Nintendo DS Internet Browser, sold separately. To run the browser on the console, you need to upgrade its RAM. Fortunately, Nintendo DS Internet Browser cartridge is bundled with a RAM expansion. To install the Nintendo DS Internet Browser package to your DS Lite, insert the browser cartridge into cartridge slot behind the console, and insert RAM expansion into the Game Boy Advance slot – in front of the console. (If you have original Nintendo DS, there is also available the Nintendo DS Internet Browser version for the console.)

After inserting the cartridge and the RAM expansion, then turn your DS Lite on. The first time you run the browser, you have to do some setups. The setups are selecting keyboard language, setting up the time zone of your region, creating a password (if you wish to use it), and setting up the Internet connection. If you have used your console for playing Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection-compatible game, you do not need to do any more Wi-Fi configuration for connecting it to the Internet. The Nintendo DS Browser is ready for accessing the Internet.

When surfing the Internet, your DS Lite may be slightly slow when loading the Web pages. But the flaw is not big deal compared to it’s convenience for surfing the Internet anywhere in the hot spot area. You don’t need to bring a bigger system such as a laptop for just browsing Internet on the go. And you have larger screens for displaying the Web pages than a smart phone.

You will even have two screens of the DS Lite for displaying Web pages. Both screens can display a Web page at the same time. The upper screen displays top part of a web page, and the lower screen displays the rest, they combine to make a single screen. And you have another option: the upper screen displays the normal page, and the lower screen displays a soft keyboard for entering Web addresses or completing forms.

On the other view mode, you can also see a smaller version of a web page on the lower screen which has a zoom window that you can move around with the stylus. Place the zoom window on any area and the magnifying area will appear on the upper screen.

The Nintendo DS Browser has usual browser functionality, including a forward and back buttons, refresh, find, zoom, remove images, and save your bookmarks. While the browser can display Java-Scripts and images of all sizes, but it does not support audio, video, and flash. Also, if you revisit a website, the page will be loaded completely again because there’s no cache.

The Nintendo DS seems to have all the right things. A Small compact hand held design that folds away nicely into a child’s pocket! The console comes equipped with two LCD quality screens albeit a little smaller. The top screen is the main viewing screen whilst the bottom screen serves as a touch screen.

Want another great feature? Oh right ok! How about Social interaction? Yes you heard that right. With its built in wireless technology, friends can play and compete against each other. Of course the other party needs to have a Nintendo DS! Well what about my Game Boy Advanced games? I hear you say.

DS Lite Vs Nintendo DSi

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

What great things does the DSi do?

1. DSi plays compressed AAC Music

2. DSi lets you take and share Photos

3. DSi comes with a collection of DSi Apps: Audio recorder, DS DownloadPlay, DSiChat and DSi even has a Network adapter and Opera Web browser so its internet ready to surf online at DSL speed.

What great things does the DSLite do which the DSi doesn’t?

1. DSLite is unlocked to play region free DS games – Global compatibility

2. DSLite plays Gameboy Advance games using the DSLite’s GBA port

Portable gaming above all means convenience. When you want it, and wherever you are, handheld gaming is yet to yield HD resolution. In contrast HD TV does not offer touch-screens for videogames. Although, it could be viable, it’s not going to be nearly as fun sketching on vertical TV touch-screen with a stylus. My generation were told to keep back from the TV or my eyes would go square! Did you hear this one from your Mom “you will get square eyes from sitting to close to your TV”? Well that folk tale is unheard of today, because that would be cool. Nearly every child dreams of being a super hero with X-Men Mutant power akin to Wolverine :)

The Nintendo DSi console opens another chapter in Handheld Nintendo’s. The choice of DSi colours is either Black and White (Blue in USA). Although the console is to exclude Gameboy Advance games, no big disadvantage can be claimed on side with DSi over the DSLite. Worthwhile is now having more on demand games to buy via the DSi shop to download. DS DownloadPlay offers similar on demand games on Nintendo DS. Other techy advancements include two cameras, ones a video camera, the others a photo camera. External SD memory is a bonus for applications to run on the DSi. Screen size of the two portable consoles wins in favour of the DSi, brighter and bigger is normally perceived as better by gamers. Battery time on the other hand wins in favour of the DSLite, some 5 hours more game time between recharging the battery.

Nicole Kidman Vs Beyonce? Comparing TV Adverts, DSLite’s advert stared in Nicole Kidman. Rhythm Paradise for Nintendo DS starred in Beyonce, features her with a Nintendo DSi console. DSi games are only playable on DSi, one big consideration for choosing which console. As of right now, no DSi titles are on sale pre-packaged in the shop; there is only DSiWare & DSi shop downloads. To put this another away, with no internet and Wi-Fi connection, you won’t get far. You can not simply plug a DSi cartridge in until they’re out; but don’t fret, you can plug DSLite cartridges into the DSi slot . Digressing back for a moment to the DSi shop, a treat not well known a waits!

Nintendo DSi Free Games Offer

1. Order a DSi through Game Stock’s website before October 5th

2. 1000 DSi Points will be added to you Shop account

3. Use your points to download DSiWare (DSi games, DSi software)

900+ Nintendo DS games still in stock is a great testimonial to the popularity of Nintendo DS. For those keen to buy DSi games, 100 points = 1 dollar. DSi game prices start at 200 points. One great DSi game to get called Dr Mario Express will cost 500 points.

In conclusion the Nintendo DSi portable is better by far. Finally those doubting, should ponder in terms of whether a bigger screen size, better sound quality and thinner shell is worth upgrading from DSLite to DSi. It’s your call! One thing for definite is that the DSLite is getting harder to find in stock, particularly White DSLite are not stocked any longer.


Nintendo DS Vs Nintendo DSi

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Last month Nintendo released their third version of the DS handheld called the Nintendo DSi. I’m sure many people are trying to figure out if they should trade in their current handheld and pick up the new DSi. Well I’m going to provide you with the information to decide for yourself if it will be worth getting.

First of all as you can see from the pictures floating around the web that the DSi shares many common attributes with the original including the dual screens, one of which is a touch screen and the flip close design. It includes everything that makes the DS a great console like a built in microphone, Wi-Fi (including the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service), listening to music, and others. It really is just a basic improvement to the original design.

Where the new design differs is in several simple enhancements like being lighter and slimmer than the original, increasing the size of the screens, and the addition of two cameras. The two motion sensing cameras, one on the inside hinge that is facing the gamer and the other on the outside facing away for taking pictures, form an “eye” which is where the new name comes from. The cameras may just be VGA but they still take a good picture. Nintendo also added an SD card slot on the right side and removed the power switch which has been replaced with a power button once again. The DSi is only available in black right now but you can always get a skin for your console or they may release it in different colors in the upcoming months like there are in Japan.

Even though there may be a lack of DSi specific games there are still games are being designed to take advantage of the DSi’s new cameras for added functionality. For example WarioWare: Snapped! allows you to take part in several mini games using the front camera to control actions using your head and hands. This opens a whole new realm of possibilities for new games.

Even though the DSi isn’t a major change to Nintendo’s handheld formula it’s still great in its own right. The cameras alone are worth picking it up for me. And the great thing about the Nintendo DSi is that you can continue to play all your old great DS games.


R4DS – A Nintendo DS Dream Or Nightmare

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Nintendo’s DS systems is one the most successful handheld gaming systems in history. Unfortunately all you can do with it is play games. Well that’s what you bought it for isn’t it? But wouldn’t it be great if you could use your DS like a portable media centre? Wouldn’t it be good to listen to your mp3s, watch videos and see your holiday photos on it?

Guess what. You can. All you need is a little device called the R4DS (or R4 Revolution if you prefer). The R4 is a bit of a Revolution for DS as it happens. It could become an essential component for every DS owner to enhance their experience, or it could turn the system into a software pirate’s dream.

The R4DS works as an adaptor for your DS to transfer data with a flash SD card, the type you might use in a digital camera or mobile phone. First you need to put your applications and files on your SD card from your computer. Following that, simply plug the R4DS into your Nintendo DS, then your SD card into the R4DS. Then you can use whatever files and applications are stored on the SD card in your DS (honestly, I’m not trying confuse you with all these “SD”s and “DS”s.

The applications can be downloaded from the Internet from specialist websites. The types of application you can expect range from music players, image viewers and calculators to card games and homemade platform games.

On top of this, using the R4DS, you can back-up all your current DS games onto an SD card. This is a Godsend if you have messy children that don’t put their games away and a 3 month old puppy eager to tear apart anything it can get its teeth on. Since I had a back-up of Pokemon Diamond there were no tears when our dog got a little over excited with the copy we’d bought just a week before. Thank you R4.

Not only that, you can easily back-up all your games onto a single SD card. That means you don’t need to lug your entire games collection around with you. In fact you never need to unplug the R4DS as it can store all your games in it. That means no more hunting around for lost DS cartridges. It makes the Nintendo DS an all-in-one portable gaming and media station, for less than the price of a single game.

However, all is not well in R4DS-land. There is a fairly significant threat that could harm the video gaming industry and it’s consumers on two fronts. That is piracy.

The R4DS is not illegal (you can buy them from Amazon), but Nintendo wish it was. Video game pirates use the R4DS to play games they do not own legally. Owners of the R4DS are urged not to take advantage of this and Nintendo are fighting to stop the sale of the product. The long-term effects of piracy are a weaker gaming industry and therefore fewer games and games of a lower quality.

Ironically, the threat of piracy also threatens the R4DS itself. There are many online stores selling imitations of the R4 Revolution. There are plenty of Internet forum reports of people plugging in their brand new R4DS only to find they can never turn their DS on again. But after closer inspection, they realise it not a true R4DS but a very similar clone.

It looks like the R4DS will give a large proportion of Nintendo DS owners a new and exciting way to utilise their portable gaming console. It also looks like Nintendo have quite a battle to stop the sale of the R4DS which will undoubtedly lead to in an increase in piracy. The fairest situation it seems would be for Nintendo to close down the pirate websites and allow the ethical use of the R4DS to continue.
