View Full Version : WTB: DS Phat with Lite screens.

Apparently, some of the last DS phats made actually came with the same screens the Lite uses. They use the same LCD controller, and if you flash the firmware, you can even adjust the brightness levels like on a Lite.
Does anyone have one of these for sale? My DS Lite is too small for my hands, I lose circulation in them while using it, and it's very uncomfortable. My DS phat is extremely comfortable, but the screen in no way compares to the lite.
Hopefully someone out there has one of these for sale or trade. Thanks!

Not exactly.
The screens are not "exactly" the same as the lite screens on the model you are speaking of. They are basically the same screen as the original (at least LOOKED the same), but with an extra added brightness level. It is a rarity to find these units unfortunately. They were amongst the last released "phat" NDS units right before the lite was released. I had one, but sold it off unfortunately. I really should have kept it....I like the good ol' unit!

I would trade a DSL towards one of these if anyone's interested.

My GF has a pink DS Phat which I think has your requirements...I check when I get home.

May I suggest one of these?

I have one myself and I find it to be most excellent. There are other variations on them too (including ones with extra speakers and extra battery capacity). The only problem with this one is that you can't conveniently slide the stylus in and out anymore, but it doesn't bother me much.
