      My original DS broke in half because of the lackluster hinge design. Nintendo sent me a check for the full price of a brand new DS Lite.
      I bet Nintendo realized how weak the hinge was for the DS, and decided on the wider hinge design used in all later DS models.

      The entire purpose of this is to repurpose E-waste in a cost-effective manner. Replacing the screens entirely defeats the purpose. Also, the ML is just a new shell for the DS, so yeah, it's bigger than the DSlite, but still roughly the same size as the original in the case styling of the lite. You'd have to keep the screen size of the DS.

      I originally had the “Main Land” thought to, and that it might have been an early short live version of a redesign for the market, but by this point iQue would have been the name on it instead of Nintendo, even on the case, so the fact its not listed as anything but a DS ML and still has the regular Japanese menus and startup makes me think this is possibly just a re-casing of old leftover DS boards to make them look more like the DS lite just to sell off old stock maybe.

    Personal thought, giving that NDSL was officially sold in China (the iQue DSL), it's possible that before that was a thing, a version of original DS was planned and probably got into test production, but was ultimately scrapped because DSL become a thing. Either there was some stock shells or the mold that wasn't got used was found and reused, and now there's this weird shell. Otherwise it's hard to imagine who got such a big dedication to model this rather accurate mold.

    This reminds me of the situation when the iPhone X came out with the double camera and glass back, and quickly Chinese companies startet to create replacement shells for older iPhone models to make them look like the iPhone X from the back.

      @Connie_TinuityError 2 года назад

      Of course it doesn't get any love. The screens are awful, very washed out, inaccurate colors, appalling viewing angles, has just two brightness settings ('on' or 'off') and it really detracts from real world usage.

    What about making a custom version of this? Any way to replace the original screens with something bigger? Maybe from the DSi XL if the motherboard allows for it? I love the Idea of the Gameboy Macro, but hate that the GBA carts aren't flush with the console. A custom Gameboy Macro ML would fix that with or without the screen replacements. Just spitballing.

  • @Victor-bm4sl

    That's a reskin of a Japanese DS; the Chinese ones were made by iQue and were region locked, so I imagine they've imported Japanese systems to play international games, as opposed to the limited and assumedly censored library that would see an official release in mainland China.

    I vaguely remember hearing about this. It only released in Asia. It's called ML because it stands for "Mega" large instead of the usual "xtra" large because that's usual for Asia. It was only in production for a little bit. That's all I remember if my memory serves me correctly. I could be completely making this up in my brain. I don't know.

    I actually really like the idea of this!
    I always had a problem with the DS lite because the GBA cart would stick out, and I had a problem with the original DS because of its design. This is like a good inbetween.
    I think a good idea would to sell the shells on there own as a mod kit. If you coupled that with the later revisions of the first DS that uses IPS screens, for me that would be the ultimate original style DS!
    Thoughts?
    Edit: apparent an IPS phat DS doesn't exist and it's somthing I think I made up in my head lol but I still think a mod kit for this would be pretty cool
