Modded DS Adds Hard Drive For Some Reason

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the because-you-can dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The legendary Natrium42 has been hard at work on making an IDE connection for the DS. He now has a working 40GB hard drive ready for his DS to utilize, now he says perhaps he could listen to music or watch full length rips of his DVDs."

  1. Worst headline ever! by Sinryc · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is SLASHDOT! Why does someone need a reason other than "why not" to mod something? I can see plenty of uses for this(Homebrew storage, movies, music, backups of games...).

      "Why not?" seems to be the only reasoning behind the Slashdot mods sometimes...

  2. Use flux???! by mangu · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Dont forget to use flux! It comes in different forms, but I use the paste you can see above. Flux is the magic ingridient that makes soldering easy.


    Dude, if you can't solder using just the flux that's inside the solder wire, you should do a quick Soldering-101 course before you try hacking something...

      Not that I RTFA, but try doing SMT with just the flux in your solder.. not gonna work.

      A true hacker is beyond such dogmatic attitudes; (s)he uses the tools needed to get the job done. If flux is what's needed to get a good solder connection, then (s)he'll use flux.
