fannish love from a flower of sin
Shiny and Fun Things
I’m pretty much in love with my DS lite now. I’m not a heavy gamer, so I didn’t get all that much use out of it initially. That was before I discovered the wonderful world of M3 cards that run Sakura. My DS lite no longer collects far too much dust. Here are some pics of a few things Sakura lets you have on the DS lite. While the default skin for M3 Sakura is rather pretty (but the pink got on my nerves after a while), I was happily able to customize the display with a different skin I obtained from a gamer board and a wallpaper I made to my liking (Guess the fandom and win an e-cookie).
Here is the main screen. What I love about the card is that you can put a variety of media on the DS lite with it. Like ebooks & porn fan fiction (txt format), music, video, and a variety of games & programs.
Here is a pic of the music player. You just load the mp3s on the card, go to the folder you’ve got them in and click to start.
I didn’t bother with a pic of the video player since there was a bit too much glare in the pic to see it clearly.
A shot of a subfolder or two and the text reader on this thing. The pages display on both screens, and you use the L & R arrows to page forward and back (or the A button).
Here are a few images of one of my favorite homebrew apps, ComicBook DS. It renders the comics or manga on your micro SD card beautifully. As you can see, a gag doujin by Omega 2D is on the screen.
This is a nice way of bringing your favorite manga along. And surprisingly enough, I actually have a few things on here that aren’t porn.
A shot of another fave app, DSTwitter. It lets you tweet on the fly & view the tweets of those you follow.
There’s also an app with a date book/organizer and web browser to make use of the wifi on the device.
Can you do some of these things on a smart phone? Sure. But I prefer to use my phone for calls, texting, and whatnot lest the battery run dry before its time. And the size of the phone screen on my Centro isn’t that conducive to looking at comics or reading books and porn for an extended period of time. It’s nice having a little entertainment center that fits in your pocket. Being able to go from playing Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to reading a book or playing a little music, then tweeting whilst in a wifi hotspot before looking at some doujin using just one device is rather nice.
