Quantcast



This could possibly be the most useless discovery in DS history. I'm not sure what's worse: the fact that it actually works or that junior modder actually has Scatman John on his DS.  Essentially, the speaker trick is to simply plug a male-to-male phono plug loosely into the headphone jack and you'll get sound out of both systems. See, you learn something new every day. It's peculiar that it would take that port as an input. It's also certain that this person is going to one day put something where it shouldn't and die young. I've also heard the DS prints money, but instructions on how to do this have eluded me.

Ooooooh. *shrugs shoulders*

If you throw your PSP at someone they will turn into sulfur or salt, depending on what game is inside.

The fact that he used Scatman John to illustrate this is priceless. I haven't heard that song in years.

So if I'm ever carrying around my DS Phat for some reason, I can give my life my own personal soundtrack from my iPod. Hey, that won't piss people off or anything, I'm sure they'd love to be forced to listen to my music as much as I'd love playing my DS Phat again.

you know an easy way to get around this is to play your DS while listening to music....also it sounds like the jack needs to have a rather tenuous connection to work which doesn't sound that easy to maintain like while doing...anything

Ok, I ahve total lack of interest in the fact the DS speaker is linked directly to the headphone port, and deactivates when its fully plugged in. But... Does anybody know what the homebrew mp3 player is in the DS Lite? I only just (dont kill me... or rape me) got my DS and havent got any homebrew as yet.
