Description: This is a "lava red" Nintendo DS with Loopy's newest DS capture card (that now captures digital audio), and extra functionality added to the X and Y buttons. Link to software and drivers provided after purchase (or find it "3dscapture"). Capture Card: Instead of cutting a new hole for the USB-C port on the capture board, it's removed and placed where the original charge port was with a 3D printed shroud to fill in the gap. It functions all the same, and you can still charge the DS via the USB-C port. The USB C port supports USB PD, so you can charge the DS using nearly any USB-C cable that you have. X and Y buttons: The DS also supports remapping the X and Y buttons to any other button, with or without turbo. This is meant for GBA games where the X and Y buttons are left non functioning. Usage is simple: Hold either X or Y + Select[turbo] or Start + the desired button. Example: Pressing X + Select + B will set X to act as B with turbo. Pressing Y + Start + A will set Y to act as A as a normal press. Start and Select are used as functions here, so there's two button combinations to set X and Y to Start and Select respectively, one with turbo and one without. Mainly to mimic how the 3DS VC Pokemon titles remap those buttons to mimic how the DS and 3DS Pokemon titles' button mappings are set. Once a button is set, you can't remap it again until you erase it. L + R + Down + B to erase. It will erase the mappings for both buttons. It can be useful in some DS games like Mario Kart DS: if you're used to using Y to accelerate like in the newer games, you can map Y to A. Pressing Y will still change the bottom screen, but you can change it by touching the touch screen as well. Condition: The DS is very used. There are scuffs and scratches all over the console and some of the color is off around the buttons from heavy use. Red Nintendo DSes, in particular, easily hide flaws in the pictures despite being easily visible in real person. Part of this is also due to image compression and lighting. Please assume it looks worse than shown in the pictures. Otherwise, the DS is fully functional. The screens are in good condition with no dead or stuck pixels, but there may be dust specs in between the top screen lens, digitizer (touch sensor), and the screens themselves. Both the top screen lens and digitizer have scratches. The screen temperatures are mismatched (bottom warmer). Ideally, purchase this console just for capturing or if you want to swap the motherboard with a preferred DS you already own. If you've ever taken apart a DS or had to swap the motherboard, doing the same with this one is almost as easy. No soldering required. The main extra step is removing the capture board to disconnect the antenna: use a flat edge to get under it and remove it from the adhesive. Since the original charge port was replaced, you also don't need to cut any new holes like the usual installation. If you don't intend to reuse the backplate, make sure to match the cuts made internally (easy to do, takes a minute or two with a flush cutter). No game is included. No stylus is included. Comes with a USB C to A cable.
