I'm not too sure, but when you guys play (or have palyed) on your DS, does the back start to feel warm for a while?

2 of my friends said that a DS shouldn't heat up at all.

1 of them said that the N5, (the mod chip im using), is a crappy one and she says 'word has it that the n5 could overheat the system and bust up the internals'.

I've only played with this ds for about a week, and only been playing with this n5 of mine. I too believe its the n5 that somehow causes heat to build up. why? i don't have a clue.

My question stands, does your regualr game cartridges or other mod chips heat up when you play?
 
I have an R4, which is identical to the N5, and my DSL doesn't heat up at all. Ditto to when I play Phoenix Wright in them. Is your DSL still under warranty? Where did you get it?
 
What, did you gank it?
Without it being from a store (?), I would say you are SOL. You could talk to Nintendo about it, I guess, and not mention what you were using when it starts overheating.
 
N5 is crap! I know PLENTY of people who have brought their DS Lite to me for repair after the N5 killed it! It draws too much current and fries a fuse in the DS!

The N5 is your problem, NOT the DS Lite, I can 100% assure you of that!

Get rid of it and buy an R4, TTDS or similar!
 
ah i understand now why it heats up... no wonder my DS dies so quickly.

I am being careful though, when it gets moderately warm i stop playing. I should be fine like that, correct? as long as i dont fry this fuse. a cousin said he'll try to hook me up with a CycloDS, but my sister says she can 'currently' still order an R4, shipping and everything for 50$ roughly.

i'll see then this thursday when we have spoken to the guy who sold the n5 to my parents
 
a Trico Pro

Click to expand...

Nope, cos it heats up due to drawing too much current, so any sign of heat means its drawing too much current! I would stop using it right away.
 
At this point, though the R4 is a great card (never failed me), it is currently overpriced and overrated. Try an get a DSTT or AceKard 2/AceKard R.P.G. (my personal favorites) instead unless you can get an R4 super cheap.
 
Luckily Guessed i got a TT exchanged...

but um all my skins are gone, i dont have a clue how i can change the font colors, and on top of that, all my SAV's cannot be read. which REALLY upset me

anything i shuold know aobut the TT?
 
There are programs that convert save formats, so don't worry too much about that. I don't really know much on the skinning side of things, though.
