1. Disassemble your Nintendo DS. This step is fairly self explanatory, if you can't figure out how to take your DS apart, you should stop here.
2. Take the DS back plate and file down the two notches on each side of the legacy cartridge slot. My guess is that Nintendo is aware of how easy this mod is, so they resorted to a physical lock on the hardware. Luckily, removing these notches doesn't take much effort.
3. Disconnect the ribbon cables from the main DS circuit board that goes to each of the two screens, and place it on a non-conductive surface for soldering.
4. Cut 3 lengths of insulated wire and strip the ends. For precise soldering like this, I recommend coating the ends of the wires with flux. This will aid the solder in sticking to the wires allowing you to make more precise connections with less solder. You should be able to pick up a canister of flux at any electronics store for a couple dollars.
5. Next to the DS processor is two points marked -CP4-. Connect these two points together to allow the DS processor to switch in to Gameboy emulation mode.
6. Point 32 on the legacy cartridge slot needs to be grounded, solder it to the nearby screw hole. This is not necessary, but I found that some Gameboy games won't boot, specifically, newer Gameboy color games with real-time clock functions like Pokemon Blue unless this point is grounded.
7. OPTIONAL: While you've got the DS open, how would you like to increase the range of the wireless multiplay abilities? Simply solder a wire from the antenna port to the nearby anchor solder for the DS cartidge slot. Your DS will then use both the internal antenna as well as all of the internal grounded shielding inside of the DS to send and receive multiplay signals! This effectively DOUBLED the range of my DS's wireless.
8. Reassemble your DS. I find it is helpful if you make a little diagram on paper of the DS and what screws went where.
9. Insert your favorite Gameboy or Gameboy Color game and go to town! Select the bottom-most option in the DS menu just as if you were playing a GBA game!
据那个该机的外国玩家说,其实NDS本来就应该可以玩GB/GBC得,只不过任天堂故意把这个功能禁止掉了…… |
