Why do I have a hankering to play DS games all of a sudden?!

The temptation is there to see if I have an old DS I can use or even find a cheap 2nd hand one and stick a flash card in it.

I'll be honest, it is only one game calling me at the moment, and that is the FPS game Moon.

Though Theresia: Dear Emile is sitting in a dark corner waiting to mug me.

@ishambard@cupoftea.social Do it! I have gotten back into mine. My oly complaint is occasional hand cramps while playing for more than an hour 😝😝

@ishambard@cupoftea.social Aaargh... both games I tried, sold back, and regret selling. I hope you have fun! A first-person shooter on the DS was a pleasant surprise. Theresia had some nice atmosphere, too

I have to ask, has scalping made the used game market any worse over there? Here it was fine before the pandemic hit, and now I find little point in trolling the thrift stores anymoreβ€”it's picked over.

@ishambard@cupoftea.social DSi softmodding worked very well for me

It can be hit and miss.
Certain retro games are eye wateringly expensive, and I have seen a few things that I would have picked up if I was in the mindset of having a massive physical collection.

Sadly, I don't really have the space for it...

It's certainly an option I am considering!

I had dumb thoughts of trying to get a DS running RetroArch or other compatible emulator so I could log DS RetroAchievements on it.
