Unleash your DS lite with Open Source
Did you know that you could use Open Source Programs Like linux to transform your DS lite into an excellent, versatile machine? The Nintendo DS is an amazing platform to run open source software and even Linux and when that is coupled with the sheer functionality of a few peachy open source applications, your DS will turn into an extremely versatile, computing machine.
The DSLinux Wiki provides detailed info on how to install, configure, and use DSLinux. This is important because the DS Linux supports the Wi-Fi functionality in the DS; not withstanding some good games in the offing like Tetris and sudoku (yes, that’s the one everyone seems to be hooked up with!).
If your insatiable gaming appetite isn’t satiated yet and craves for more fun, there are quite a few quality open source games for Nintendo DS, including WordUp, Lemmings DS, and Explosion of an Aeroplane.
We had already mentioned DSorganizer as a must have application or accessory on your DS which can help you organize; has a calendar and also a browser to help you connect to the Internet. Moonshell media player is a popular application that supports all common audio and video formats, and even comes with a handy video encoder (can be operated on windows only). Wanted to control remote machines with your Nintendo DS like you do with your laptop or paml-helds? Perhaps you should consider looking at DSVNC, which is a VNC client that allows you to just that.
Open source software can indeed unleash the beast in your rather humble game player if you could harness its power. This is by no means an exhaustive list a mere search online would help you discover more potent applications that can perhaps redefine gaming devices for you.
