Some DS Lite questions.
Umbra:
Alright so I'm not huge on handhelds but I really want to get into them more. Just sayin'. Anywho a couple months back, probably in January/February I did a shell swap on my DS (one of those gold Zelda shells) and it's safe to say that the ribbon cable alone convinced me to never undertake such a task again. Problem is, just as I was finishing, this happened.
The power switch broke off before I had the chance to put the power button back in place. My question (#1) is, is there any way to fix this at all aside from carrying a good ol' paperclip everywhere I take this thing? If not it's no biggie but I'm sure there's some way to fix it aside from just getting a new DS.
Second question. Do the Pokemon titles (or any NTSC DS titles at all) have no language option? I'm learning Japanese and figured it would help just a little bit but the game is loading in English despite my system settings.
Thanks in advance.
wiggy:
What happened? Did the plastic piece get lost broken?
If so, I've got extra parts.
Umbra:
Well what happened is that the little tab that holds the power button in place got snapped off as I was putting the last of the guts back into the new shell. It can turn on, but there's nothing for the power button to grab onto so I just left it out and now I need to slide the switch using a paperclip. Not sure if that helps describe it?
Dr.Agon:
as to the pokemon question
maybe it plays in english if it detects an american machine?
could you try a japan only game?, if it didnt get an american release, maybe they wouldnt programme english into it?
Umbra:
Well from what I've heard it's just that NTSC games don't have language options, even if they were a multinational release like Pokemon. So basically even though the system itself is set to play games in Japanese it can't because the games themselves are hardcoded in English. Not exactly helpful to my learning xD Anyway I do have one game with language options but it's Spyro Dawn of the Dragon on DS and it's kind of terrible imo. Not the best platformer I've played.
