Getting a DS as a gift - what can i do with it?

Hey guys, Im getting a DS as a gift (just havent picked it up yet). Anyways, Im not too familliar with what i can do with it in terms of mods/hacks etc.

Can someone provide me with info on what i can do with it (other than play purchased ds games etc). Once i know what can be done, i will figure the rest out

Thanks

 

ps - I dont need in depth info, just some quick one liners. ie. Play roms etc or something like that. thanks again.

 

If you have summat like the R4DS cart you can play roms, use it as an organiser, play music, movies, view pictures, VNC (access your PC and control it over a wireless network), Draw pics, some browsing and messaging over the internet. There's other homebrew software like drum machines. All sorts really.

 

are the roms exactly as the original games in terms of quality etc?

 

Yeah - no dodgy rips if that's what you mean. You can't tell the difference. You can store 20 or so average per Gb of memory and 2Gb is a good size card to have in the cartridge.

 

cool thanks a lot. I'll start researching
