An effortful DIY alternative to a rumbling DS Lite
Filed under: Gaming, Handhelds
Those with loads of disposable income probably wouldn’t mind ponying up for the relatively inexpensive rumble cartridge made specifically for Nintendo’s DS Lite, but the frugal (and engineering) sets will certainly appreciate Xyzzy’s efforts. After dissecting a Pokemon Pinball GBA game and ripping the rumble motor from a salvaged Nokia 5100, he put his circuitry knowledge to work and conjured up a rumble device that fit flush in the DS Lite and cost him nothing more than a little blood, sweat, and tears. Be warned, however, that this guide isn’t for the faint of heart (or those who don’t natively speak in 1s and 0s), but feel free to tag the read link and get busy if you dare.
