I have managed to get homebrew running on my Nintendo Dual Screen Lite. It's freaking amazing! I can now use it as an MP3 player, run Linux on it (and throw it away the next second because I hate text-based OSes), play homebrew games (DSChess) and even run MSN (beup v0.02)! It really is amazing what touch screen, dual screen and WiFi can do together. I will definitely be programming for this platform. At least 1 piece of software and perhaps 1 little game.
The thing is, I'm now home and I find myself without the handheld. What happened? I got into such a big mess that I just left -somewhere- and went home. Forgot my DSL (DS Lite) there. But I'll get it back very soon. Or else I just have to buy a new one. Doh! X(
A sidenote: I failed this year, have to do it again next year. The problem is, at school, I don't show any motivation AT ALL. Can't blame them, nor me, it's just that my life has become so big that one year time couldn't fit all that stuff in. Guess I didn't fit my school in it enough to pass. But it's a good thing though. At least I'm sure that I won't fail again next year (or i'll kill myself) and it really woke me up and removed the idea of always being on top. I never failed a year at school and was always doing the highest class possible (Gymnasium in my case). But now I see that I don't HAVE to be perfect simply because I -CAN'T-.
Boy, what a relieve.
I hope this summer brings more hope to me. Wait, replace "summer" with "DS Lite".
=D~~
How easy was it to do? What tools did you need / how much did it cost? From where did you get the necessary components? How long did they take to deliver? Do they appear to be of high quality?
I'd much rather do DS stuff than GBA stuff (because GBA is ooollddd and the DS is awwweeessoommee), but to be honest its a lot of stuff for me to cover (I'm sllloowww) because its, quite literally, direct interaction with the hardware. Which, for a high-level C++ coder like me is craazzahhh!!!
So yeah. I expect much tutorials, young grasshopper. mmmm.
