lol its like the old psp method where its basicly just using a video camera to record the footage to show on tv.
In my option not worth it.

Who in his right mind would buy something like that? That's ridiculous.

Probably someone who want to prove his or her Snakes in a Kart skills on YouTube.

I would guess they haven't sold many portable to tv convertors where you gotta take the whole thing apart. so they make one you can slap on (remember that afterburner ripoff thing that you replace the top clear piece on a gba with one that has a shitty led?) I would rather have an s-video plug or smth with the hardware directly interfaced to the lcd controller.

Haha, what a hack. Looks like crap and only shows one screen.
In Nintendo Power (my brother has a subscription) they showed DSes hooked up to some sort of blue box, with the image being displayed on big TVs. It looked like there was just a camera pointed at them though. Dunno what the box was for.

That blue box is called IS-NITRO-VIDEO.

Hm, now you got me curious. Does that connect to the DS somehow, or is it a special DS? In the picture it looks like it plugs into the DS card slot or power supply jack.

if you go to nintendo world they have 4 ds's hooked up to two monitors :P...
no boxes or none of that crap XD...
just regular ds's with specail plugs in the back of them (i guess :P)
nintendoworld has a flash site and it is very good...
if you go to http://nintendoworldstore.com
then the ds section then roam around you will see what im talking about :)

What do you mean, no boxes? You just can't see them because they are behind that wall.

They probably just connect converters to the LCD connectors inside the DS. That's how I would do it, at least, if a commercial VGA mod was to be developed...

I'm not sure about those DS units in the Nintendo Store, but the only DS I have ever seen hooked up to a TV didn't even have a cartridge in it. There was just a bundle of wires going from the IS-NITRO-CAPTURE unit into the DS (through a hole cut in the back). I saw that the cartridge itself was in the IS-NITRO-CAPTURE unit. I wanted to get some photos of the back of the DS, but the Nintendo rep wouldn't let me.

At Festival Arcadia, there were a few DS units connected to monitors. I don't know what nits they are but they were definately DS's..probably souped upped ones with some kind of video relay coming out of the system through a port on the top.
Would be nice to get my hands on one of those. Not gonna happen, though.

Hm, I guess they could just have a DS's buttons and screens hooked up to the capture box, and have the game programmed specifically to support it.
#81423 - tepples - Sat Apr 29, 2006 2:36 am
One possible way to do it is to run the game on the video capture box and just stream the audio, video, and input through the DS Game Card port, as the Super Game Boy (for Super NES) and Game Boy Player (for GameCube) do, right? Or is there not enough bandwidth on the DS Game Card port for this?

How are the DS screen connected? Couldn't just split it so it goes to the interal LCDs and the external screens?
#81561 - tepples - Sun Apr 30, 2006 2:01 am
ssj4android has the basic idea right, but 1. where do the wires come out of the case, and more importantly 2. how do you convert the signals from LCD format to a more useful format (S-video, component video, VGA, etc.)?
