Nintendo DS

The DS itself can be bought relatively cheaply now. It's bound to drop further at Christmas too. The M3+Passcard3 is quite pricey at about £70, but you can sell the Passcard 3 later if you flash the firmware of your DS.

I've got a DS Lite and very happy with it. Just been looking into homebrew for it, trying to work out if its worth it. Only DSLinux has really got me excited at the moment.
Theres still games I want to get for it, so I guess until I run out of games I may hold off on the homebrew.

Sorry, for resurrecting an old thread, but I didn't know if anyone had seen Quake for the DS:

DS Quake

Has anyone played it? I would love to be able to play Quake anywhere, its one of my all time favourite games. (Sorry if this is old news to people.)

Bought one for the missus just before Christmas and she loves it. I actually quite like the sound and the graphics are fantastic.

I've got a black DS Lite (had a phat DS before that), and it's a great machine.  I bought a Supercard Lite for it, that lets me use MSN Messenger, DSMail, Linux, etc.  It's become almost a habit for me to check for wireless networks wherever I have my DS to see if I can use MSN  :lol:

That port of Quake is seemingly dead.

There is a new port of Quake started by another guy, and he's very regular with the news updates. He's reporting a very fast speed and is readying it for release soon-ish. He made a video of it working.

This is the thread that you need to be watching if you're interested:

And here's his blog:

He also - amazingly - plans to port Quake2 afterwards, and seems pretty confident in doing so. For that, though, you'll definately need a homebrew adaptor with extra RAM, like the M3 or Supercard SD.

No releases yet, but he's getting close, so keep an eye.

I didnt know that the other port had stopped. This one looks fantastic, it runs so smoothly. It may even make me buy a homebrew set up. Quake on the move is a dream come true. Cant believe Quake 2 is possible.
