Nintendo Ds Lite Mods
This is excellent work – congrats to the chap who did this – not really for the technical challenge, but because it should be taken as a lesson for Ninty, and other companies and their sinful uses of utterly proprietary and nonsense power or even data sockets that actually boil down to USB or even UART.Imagine, no more DC round jacks in about a thousand different sizes and polarities, for thousands of different devices.With proper standardisation (down to 1, one, uno, un, eins, standard that is!) the world will be a much better gadgety place! I actually bought a third-party charger that had a USB cable and a little “puck” that had a mini-b female jack, and a male jack of the GBASP/DSPhat variety (what I needed), plus a jack of the DSLite variety. It also came with a car adapter for USB. It was all cheap plastic, though, and the puck literally split in two as I pulled the anti-theft packaging open (ugh, hate that plastic). Despite the fact that I was still in the Best Buy parking lot, I was in a bit of a hurry so I went on my way, planning to make a return later. I didn’t, though — when I got home, I took a look at it and saw that the plastic shell that formed the “puck” was completely empty (what I had expected, really) save for the connectors. I took the two I needed (female USB, male DSPhat), soldered on /much/ shorter wires (probably about 1/2″), lined them up and “potted” the whole thing with hot glue.
OK dude we are talking about case mods here. Every post in the thread was directed at the links that the OP gave out for us to look at. Then you came out of nowhere and asked if the DS can play.
It came out (after a little shaping of the dried glue) as a small adapter of the perfect shape and size for my needs I paid a little more than I maybe should have for the parts, sure, but a nice little hack. Considering it’s encased in solid hot glue, I don’t suspect it’ll ever break (like the original product did), and I’ve been using it for a solid two years now, I’d say.As for this project, it’s a great little implementation that I could definitely see doing myself — eliminates another adapter, which is always nice. Oh, and to Stu — I agree, I think we all wish a single standard would be wonderful. Couple problems, though — some devices use more than 500mA to charge on their 5V adapters more importantly, though — the peripheral makers would complain, and Nintendo wouldn’t be able to charge $waytoomuch for their own adapter.
I do think that those companies who /do/ choose to utilize 5V USB for their charging, and other such standardized plugs, should definitely be applauded for their decisions, though, and I personally use this as a deciding factor when comparing two otherwise similar products. I did a variation of this hack by using a cable cut off from a cheap plastic Car Adapter that came with the NDS Carrying case I bought on markdown. I had a dead mouse that I saved for parts. Cut the USB cable off and wired the cables accordingly. The DS charges just fine at 5v 500mAh, since the power brick does 5.2v at 450mAh.
The general rule is within 5% (and some cases, within 10%) voltage (over/under) if it’s not matched, unless the electronics are especially sensitive and to provide more amperage than it draws. 5v is 96% of 5.2v. USB wall warts automatically push out 500mAh, I have two that will provide up to 1.2A right out of the socket. More than safe enough.Put me in the group where Mini or Micro USB should be on EVERY electronics device. Tired of proprietary plugs and wall warts. I wish I had the unit or even took pictures, but I did a similar hack to a portable CD player after the circular jack broke. This was back in 2000ish and it was a good enough model of portable CD player that it was worth saving.
(80 hour battery life on 2 AA’s with an external battery pack plug on top of that. It ran for forever on a single pair.). taken as a lesson for Ninty,I’m pretty sure they know what they’re doing. They have shipped millions and millions of units.and other companies and their sinfuluses of utterly proprietary and nonsense powerThe idea is that the “proprietary” connector stops people from using the wrong supply, nuking their hardware and then sending it back to Nintendo. And then Nintendo have shell out for a replacement when the failure was the user’s fault.their screws with 3 notchesinstead of four or 2Tri-Wing drivers are very easy to get hold of. The 2 or 3 phones I’ve had over the years from Softbank have used triwing screws too.
These aren’t electronics kits, or build it yourself’s you shouldn’t need to take them apart. So your point is basically moot.thats why their charger outputs 5.2v,Could it be that the charging circuit in the DS is designed for 5v and Nintendo’s charger outputs a regulated voltage with enough margin for regulators inside the DS etc? Ofcourse random poster on teh intawebs knows better.;)and thats why the decided to putsuch a useless socket on their product.See above. Using USB connectors on everything is great. Let’s use a system designed for data transfer + small amount of power supply for charging electric cars, powering our homes.
