Default Nintendo DS

I have never bothered with these before, was put off by the GB Advance which was ****, we have three DS's in the house as 2 of the kids and my wife has one, my youngest announced he wanted to sell it and buy a PSP memory car with the proceeds, now I cant be arsed Ebaying stuff, all the farting round with the post and packing etc so I just bought him the memory card and gave him 20 quid so he got about 40 quid for it, he seemed happy and I was the proud owner of a DS, a very well used, rahter dog eared one missing the stylus.

Have been playing with a 42 game compendium on it and am hooked, its ace, it boots straight up, the battery lasts agest and the screens are nice and bright, the touch screen is excellent.

Have ordered a card so I can play with emulators, there is a perfect Spectrum emulator for it, top screen emulates the spectrum screen in the correct resolution and the bottom the keyboard.

Its funny, I have gone from not arsed to getting agitated when I cant find it !

the only problem i have had with the missus`s DS is i find its not very ergonomic, and feels like it was put together by somebody in school in a CDT lesson.

I put Nintendogs on, but it wont let you make them fight, which is, to me, is an oversight.
