I love the DS Lite.

- plays DS and GBA games

- no region lock

- super pocketable

- screens look surprisingly good for a handheld from this generation

- Dpad and buttons feel great

Regarding your R4 card not working past a certain year, that is known as a time bomb, there are other firmwares you can install onto your R4 card that fix this. Just have to check that the firmware is compatible with your R4 card

Of course setting the date back is an equally effective method to get around it and much less of a hassle too

I agree, one of the best nintendo portables ever, the best of both worlds, people go hard on buying the nintendo sp, but the real gem is the ds lite, l play all my games on the ds lite, and reserve all my gbc and og gameboy games for the nintendo sp. It's always a great pickup system, no lockout regions, and has one of the biggest libraries of video games ever, Great Video.

Yesterday I went to CEX and told my wife ill just stroll around to town for a walk but then I saw a ds lite in a box checked the unit and in so much flawless condition. I impulse bought it as well. Now waiting for my pokemon soulsilver game. 😅😊

It's so cute, like a makeup box. Although can be a pain to keep clean with its glossiness.

That may be a refurbished unit or reshelled that might be how the dust got under there in the re shell process

you: *trying to draw a line*
ds: nuh uh!

The DS Lite is my favorite DS console too. I have so many fond memories of using mine when I was younger. It came in so many nice looking colors, it has backwards compatibility to play GBA games, and I like it's lighter build that's easy to hold and the brighter screen compared to the original.

I was lucky before the prices went up I grabbed two boxed DS lite, (USA) cobalt blue and crimson red. Both used but like new prob never touched! I used to like impulse buying when prices were down… the lite is my fav DS

I've been itching to get a DS for awhile now! I never had it as a kid, the gameboy advance was the last handheld i had.

I just bought a DS Lite too. It does feel cheap -- I think the best way to play a DS game is on the DSi -- but it also has the gba slot. My ideal DS would be a DSi with a gba slot. I carry around my lite though because its not in as good of condition (my DSi looks brand new) and because of the dual games. I got Pokemon Black in my DS slot and Emerald in my gba slot.

I use to religiously take mine everywhere 🥰 love that system ‼️

The DS lite is one of the best electronic devices that I’ve ever used. I swear these things will be the last functioning consoles remaining on earth after the apocalypse, they’re built like a plastic brick and only need to be charged like once per season. All the ones in my household as a child are still working just fine, they’re still fun to play and somehow easier to pick up and enjoy than any other handheld I’ve owned.

If you are a tech guy, you can reshell and replace the screens of a DS lite for less money than a pristine one. There are pokedex shells, retro nintendo consoles shells etc made by extremerate that are not too expensive and very good quality.
I bought 2 "broken hinge" consoles for 30 bucks each. I bought screens (the OG ones were yellow) 10 bucks per screen and a different shell for each 30 bucks per shell (one nes and one SNES, the shells packages offer all kinds of buttons, a top screen lens, a stylus, a GBA port cover a new hinge mechanism, new rubber pad for the buttons, new screws, new rubber knobs to hide the screw holes, it is insane). It cost me 80 bucks per console and they feel and look brand new.

Will that crack in the hinge eventually become an issue/spread? I have a DS lite I’ve had since childhood and your observation of the crack made me curious whether mine was cracked too. Sure enough I have a crack in almost the exact same spot. I worry because I notice when I open the screen, the crack widens. Thank you!

My age 71yr old I had two for years the Nintendo ds Xl and the smaller one what I like about them you can use them anywhere you don't need WiFi my wife addict to playing 42 classic games I have just started playing chessmaster i also have two game boys I bought for my daughters back in the day my grandsons like playing when they visit their still in working order

[MagnumForce]

Good find! A little superglue will probably fix that hinge right up. As for the screen dust...that would bother me so much that I'd go online to find a replacement screen lens. :P

[romeocano]

I love my ds lite. I have an ez flash and r4 cartridge so i have an amazing library as well as a ton kf mods lol
