it tempts me so…

I have a Nintendo DS, it’s pretty rad.

Right now I have three games for it. One of them is Pokemon dash, and one of them is in America. So I only really have one game.

I’d like more games, but I’m pretty poor.

Pirating roms and loading them via a flash cart is pretty easy, and a natural solution, only the cart itself costs £70 – about the cost of three new games, maybe 4 if I get lucky via eBay (which is so not as cheap for DS games as it was for the GBA).

And right now, I can only think of a few games I’d want. (Metroid, Mario Hoops and Starfox). But, I hear Trauma Centre is worth a try, and Phoenix Wright? See, if I had a ~10-game capacity flash cart I could investigate these little fun-looking titles too. Not to mention homebrew stuff like SNES emulation.

Basically I started looking for a way to save money, and wound up finding another expensive geek-toy. Good job!

And now to go do what I really should have been doing this evening: facilitating versatile solutions for modern living!
