DS Flash Equipment > Rumble Pak

Would it be possible to create a rumble pak at home?
I can imagine it to be easy because they cost little money.
Get the parts from the n64 rumble pak???

Hmm..
Interesting idea, but where many traditional rumble packs use a motor with an off center weight, the DS uses a vibrating diaphragm.

It's probably possible, but not worth the effort. It'd be difficult and you'd end up with a really big box hanging out of the GBA slot, murdering the battery, when you could just go buy one for like 10 bucks.
