DS Flash Equipment > NDS USB port

I was admiring Sony's new MZ-RH910 Hi-MD player today and seeing as it can be used as an external storage device I started to miss a USB port on my DS.

Nice story. What was the point of this again?

I'm guessing you're suggesting that someone should hack a USB port into the DS. To me, it seems like this wouldn't be very helpful, since it would take quite a hack, and even then would only work for people who were willing to perform surgery on their DS. It might be useful as a debugging tool, but I don't see much else. It would be better to figure out the wireless interface and use that if you want a direct PC<->DS connection, since it's already built in. Hopefully someone will make progress with that soon...

What did you have in mind for an NDS USB port?

I was admiring my microwave today, and seeing how easy it is to prepare food in it, I really find it a pity the DS doesn't have an oven built in.
