OK so i've just got new NDSL. what accessories do you think is essential in maintaining ur NDSL optimumly? i dont have much cash lying around, perhaps i dont need to get any of these!

heres some stuff i think i need, tell me if its not really necessary

screen protector (protect screen from scratches)
plastic case (protect casing from scratches but even if the casing got scratches, shouldnt affect the inside right???)
pouch (in case it falls?)
thumb strap (play some game that use button and stylus extensively?)

thats all i have in mind so far, any other accessory i should have?

You might get some idea by browsing some of my reviews and suggestions at my blog. I have highlighted a few of thsoe essential item at my signature. Click it to read them. But you have the basic item covered already.

gt a screen protector and a hard/leather case. those softcases are useless againt impact or even pressure when you guys put it in tight places like your pockets. i usually put it in my handbag but when i dont carry one with me i fit them in my - small - pocket.

other accessories are useless.

Screen protector is a must. Pouch... was optional for me, and i decided to get one just for senang to bawak sense.

If your hands are big, u might want a retractable stylus.

If your constantly in places where its hard to hear the music of the game, its best to get earphones. Games like Elite Beat Agents really emphasize on this.

Well, that's what i think.

I think screen protectors and casing are the most important accessories to have. In fact, I think a silicon/crystal casing is safer to put in a pouch when traveling.

Anyone knows where to get these accessories other than Sg Wang?

djinn shop, gamer hideout at cineleisure and imbi mario at imbi plaza

Sg wang is cheaper for such accesoric. I would suggest getting Crystal casing instead of silicon one. Less problem. Cheaper alternative. and your hand wont smell one kind after a while

Yes, screen protector and crystal case is a must.
Avoid silicon case.

PS. Anybody know where to buy NDSL housing?

And don't forget bernard moh. hehe.

Repeating this question so many time will get the same answer one lar.. I think you better go other forum see see. ok?

get iDrops...to clean ur DS, very important!!

is there such a thing that i can wear on my thumb so i can play game by pressing button and also the touch screen at the sane time?

very hard to press button then fast fast get stylus to press the screen... lol

here's a solution for you:

haha, good find pen...but i doubt i used it..still lovethe finger/stylus switching...feel more ninja!!

Eh where can i get that ar? How much is one bottle. Is it really that good?

For the thumb solution. read HERE at my blog. I found a solution for it.

I was using the switching technique when playing viewtiful joe but ended up being lazy .. use my nails faster lol

at sg.wang got. Just ask a shop that sells ipod accessories. Its about RM39.90

Wat is iDrop?

u should have installed the screen protector the same time u bought it.

iDrop is a miraculous solution for screen. Instead of applying screen protector, you can apply iDrop, clean up ur screen and the screen will be squeaky clean. Even the dust wont stick on it.

and where to get this miracle water?

Cough

oops.... me blind lor...

well, the stores in KLCC dun have this iDrop solution, just walked there to check... well I guess i'll be sticking to my 3M Dusting 'Beware Of Cheap Imitations' Cloth for now...

Which 3M cloth is that? The black covering, w/ made in Korea?

oops sorry, the 3m one i'm using for me specs... for the ndsl and my laptop i'm niw using a bog standard RM12 scotch brite dust cloth... works just as well but does not have that 'mahal' feel

Owh, you must be talking about the locally made ones, comes in larger size somemore unlike the black one I was talking about. Retail price RM19.90 IINM, sold in most popular I.T shops.

I like the way it picks up oil, so easy Clean DSL also syok. Can just wipe like wiping .. .. wiping DS..

i saw reveur's blog on the strap..how does it work actually? lolx how much did u get it for? can get it online?

Sabotage this thread a little. Hehe. Anyway, anyone have the DS Lite rumble pak? Thinking of getting one, but the games that support it seems to be limited. Do you think its worth it? Comments please. And thankz.

I have the old rumble pack. Not worth it as you said, but it does add to the experience when playing Elite Beat Agents

*tap-rumble* *tap-rumble*..

*tap and hold* *rumble rumble rumble rumble*

Ok. Guess i'm ditching the idea to get it. Hehe.

will it rumble to pokemon... earthquake... tap tap tap?

Not too sure, game box/manual should tell you

it will rumble, if the game has rumble features.

If u like pinball, get Metroid Prime Pinball, the rumble pack bundled with it.


it's a good buy!

I bet those contact sports, like madden NFL, mario kart, etc. oso plays great with rumble~!

Well the strap have this thumb thingy on the end where you strap it on your thumb, acting as a thumb stylus while also providing it self as a strap. The thumb thingy can be bought online but I cant remember the site now. I bought it from a fellow forumer that sold his DS and forgot to include this strap together ( he didnt use it at all )

Oh yeah, excellent game, I got my rumble with that.

Without it, the game would be lame. Rumble really adds to the experience

A Hori DS stand is good if u wanna...ermm...stand ur DS....hmmm...

Or you could have a look at the DS Starter Pack at Play Asia...

Hori is a good brand for accessories. I ordered the multi pouch from there.

R4 must buy...

LOL~ credits go to Mudmaniac!



later on, enhanced by Pr1me_Minister.

say, the rumble pak is it the same with the one selling from PA?



was planning to get one myself

yes, they are the same.

Last month when i was in HK.. i saw lots of ppl playing DS in MTR..buses and also in ferry. One thing i noticed was that they actually prefer to use the non-original pen (a pen with cute figure on top of it, very cute! of coz.. it's not a real pen la.. it comes with blunt end.. specially designed to b used on touch screen) to play the DS.. wonder if there any selling it in Msia? How much? In fact.. i might goin to HK again in 2weeks time.. probably get myself one if selling cheaper there..

Oh yea.. this is a mini DS keychain from HK.. cute right??
