[WTB] Anything to record OG physical DS games

[death_unites_us]

Thanks for any offers in advance. I need anything that can record physical DS games, so either a DS with a capture card or a 3DS setup that will work (ive heard the digital ones do not work for ds games)

I live in the US and am willing to pay a very reasonable price as long as its not in terrible condition. Thanks!

They are still in stock. http://3dscapture.com/ds/order.html You will have to send in your own Original DS though. There aren't any preinstalled ones in stock atm.

Great! Thank you for the response! If anybody wants some money for theirs they can still let me know here

You can also contact this other installer https://twitter.com/EvoCapture1 he might have some preinstalled ones in stock.

Sent them a message on twitter, we will see what happens!

Hey just wanted to post an update for anybody watching this thread. I received a DS from both of the above sources, and both work great! The 3dscapture.com DS is in far better shape, but that's because I sent in my own. The actual board seems to be installed a bit more professionally though, the port is perfectly straight and there's no jagged edges.

The Evocapture DS is in a bit rougher shape, and the board was installed a bit crooked as the port is a bit crooked and not as clean. However, it still works great, and since it was their own used DS all I did was pay on PayPal and it showed up at my house. EvoCapture was also very good with their communication and let me know everything I needed to know. Also they included an audio cable which I thought was really nice.

TLDR both arrived and both are great

Yeah I’m still hand filing the ports I think Loopy is using a cnc but I’m not sure all I know is I’m the cheapest source in Europe and I polled my customers and they pretty much all said they’d rather save the money by having them hand fit vs the cost of a cnc plus upkeep being added, as the port gets covered by the usb cable the majority of the time

[death_unites_us]

Agreed, you still did a fantastic job and your price is hard to argue with so

Yes, I use a CNC now. I used to do it by hand, but that gets really tiresome after a few hundred of them

I used a nail clipper to cut out the bulk. I find a nail clipper is a lot more delicate than a regular clipper like a wire clipper. But a knife to get the last bits and a file to smooth it down. Easily spent 90% of the time cutting the ds case. 9% filling in the stylus port with filament to reduce dust intake. And %1 installing the actual card.
